All language subtitles for Amongst Friends 1993

Thank you.

When I was 12, I screwed this 20 -year
-old. I forget her name.

She told me it was great, but it was too
short. It didn't last long enough.

She was right. It didn't last. But
nothing ever does.

At least not long enough to make any
sense of it.

There were three of us.

Me, Chuck, and Billy.

Best friends from what seemed like
birth.

Came kindergarten, we were already
working the master plan.

Trevor and Billy'd fake a fight. Kenny's
throwing a rush in to break it up. And

before he knew what hit him, I'd be down
the block with two cartons of baseball

cards and the gift of a penny to take a
penny charge.

We didn't need this deal.

We were experimenting.

We grew up on the suburban south shore
of Long Island. The five towns.

Crunchy now granola heads and beamers
and 944s. You got judges living next to

gangsters, next to rabbis, living next
to dentists.

Sixteen -year -old Jewish kids thinking
and acting like they're Flavor Flav.

The only thing they all had in common
was money.

Lots of money.

Our parents didn't know what they wanted
for us, but we had everything already.

We saw things differently.

My grandfather would sit around and tell
stories about the old days.

Stories about men who knew how to live.

I guess that was the idea.

My grandfather was a bookie to send my
dad to law school. My dad made money so

that I could do whatever I wanted. And
all that me, Trevor, and Billy ever

wanted to do was be like my grandfather.

We were ashamed of how easy that was.

Felt spoiled.

Felt like pussies.

We were 13 and we wanted respect.

I enjoyed

a good fight, but I

was more of an idea man.

Besides, this play never solved
anything.

We were normal, kid. We had hobbies.

Give me a three -team teaser. Give me
Buffalo, give me the Skins, give me the

Gs.

Billy's been pretty heavy.

When he won, he smoked his wings.

And if he lost, he went to the bank.

By the time we were 15, we'd spent
nights just running around the act.

Our time lost its fervor.

If

we

were broke and forced to stick around,
it was okay.

Soon enough, we'll be able to go
anywhere, do anything.

Fuck, man, how you doing, huh? Hey, how
you doing, Bill? Good.

I think he's in the back.

We were still hitting high school
parties even after we graduated.

Everyone we knew left.

I could have gone, but I was
comfortable.

Besides, Trevor and Billy were sticking
around. We still had plans.

So we set up a business with some
friends in Far Rock and just sort of

If I had to be a boss, Billy was it.

Loved the business.

So which one of you guys are going to do
this thing, huh?

Look at the look on your face. You're
worried about it. It's an easy drop. You

just go and do it. You know. You know
you've done it. It's not a deal. Yeah,

why are you doing it? Because if I could
do it, I just told you I would do it.

But I'm on your time. I've got to be
like a thousand places. I've told you

Bill. You know I'd do it. No, Bill, man.
I'll do it. You want to do it?

It's quick, man. It's an easy deal.

Only one of you guys can go. No, no.
Wait a second. You asked me to do it. I

do it.

Right?

I can do it. I can do it. All right? No
problem.

I can't do this thing, all right, man?

What do you mean you can't do it?

Can't do it, all right? Billy said that
if one person could go, I got the girl

in the name, where am I going to put
her? Huh? Under my car? I mean, you

do it.

Dude, forget about the girl.

You're lying to me. No, I ain't lying to
you. I told you I can't do it.

Come on, do I look like I'm scared, man?
Yeah, you do. I look like I'm scared?

Yes. No, I'm not scared. It's just less
of my goodness, man. They're boxing me.

They shoved a piece of my mouth for 15
minutes.

I can't do this, man. You pissed all
over yourself. Yeah, I know I did. I

you did the same thing. I know. I said I
can't do it. I can't do it.

Be cool. It's cool. It's cool. Relax.

I'm fucking hot over this, man.

I should hit you.

Yeah, well, if I can do it, I do it, but
I can't. I should hit you.

Give me the keys.

I'll fucking do it.

It's all right?

Yeah, it's all right.

I owe you, man. Yeah, you do owe me.

Hi. How you doing?

Good, how are you? Good.

Where's your parents?

They're not here.

Come on, let's go inside.

I'd love to, believe me, but I can't.

What do you mean you can't? You're
supposed to come over here. I gotta go

something. It's gonna take me about a
half hour. Hour tops, I promise.

Trevor wasn't that big on the business.

He could have gone away to school, but
he stayed to hang out with Laura.

She was still in high school.

She was a good girl. I liked her. Had a
lot of heart.

Still, I didn't get it.

They were serious.

Too serious.

All right, I'm going to go. I'll be back
in a little while, all right?

All right, give me a kiss.

Go inside.

I'll talk to you later, all right?

I'll see you in a half an hour.

Get that sad face off.

So where's this kid Bill? I thought he
was gone.

You know Billy, he's busy. He's got
things to do. He's dealing with me.

So you got him something for us, right?

Don't tell me we drove here for nothing.

Hey, guys, relax, all right?

You guys are with me. Everything is
cool.

You a cop?

Huh? Me?

Yeah, I am. You want to see my badge?

Come on, stop fucking around.

What do you think?

Think he's all right?

Yeah, he's all right.

Yeah, that's right.

Hey, you got the smoke?

Yeah, I got the smoke. You got the cash?

Yeah, I got cash.

Open it up.

All right.

It's in there. Come on.

It was an easy drop. I really would have
gone and done it myself, but I had to

stay with the girl.

Besides, Trevor was happy to do me the
favor, and I don't.

It's cold, huh?

It's very cold.

Come on.

Yeah, that's it.

Fuck, you're under arrest, scumbag!

Yeah,

you light's over, faggot. How's that
feel? You're gonna need your Lord.

Thank you.

Trial was like a popularity contest.

All of a sudden, Trevor had a thousand
best friends.

People were talking about his setup.

Billy felt bad. Could have been him.

I knew it wasn't his setup because it
should have been me.

Judge made an example of him.

Even his father's cash didn't make a
difference.

He was going away.

No. Please?

No.

Come on.

No, this is your education, baby, not
mine, all right?

Oh, like you don't need an education.

No, I don't. You want to know why?

Because I get mine right here on the
streets, that's why.

Oh, yeah, right here on the killer
streets of Hewlett Harbor.

Hey, relax, all right?

It's fucking college.

A couple of weeks after he was
sentenced, I went up to Laura to see

refused to visit.

Two years went by, and Trevor should
have been out. Where was he?

Fuck it, it didn't make any sense.

But hey, it's nobody's fault.

People start moving in different
directions.

Back home, me and Billy were out of
business.

He was working deals solo. His choice,
not mine.

He was changing.

Guts would rather crack you than argue
with you.

He's in our town. We'll find him out.

Still, he was starting to build a real
nice family.

I hadn't heard from Trevor and I saw
less and less of Billy.

He'd still call me to drive him around
in whatever car he had that week.

I wish I had a calendar so I'd know the
exact date when I went from being

Billy's friend to being his errand boy.

He was always busy.

Must have had a new girl or something.

Whatever it was, for the first time in
his life, he was laying low -key.

I'm in.

I got back into the business. I need a
cash for this deal with the Ferretti

brothers. Vic and Eddie, 40 keys from
Zona.

Fine. Something Billy couldn't say no
to.

Yo, man, I'm sorry. The guy had me on
hold, man. What? You got me sitting here

for 10 fucking minutes.

Get your phone fixed up. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. What

the kid say?

Nothing. I got to give him 20 grand in
two days if I win.

And what did he say?

I'm going to let go.

What are you, out of your fucking mind?

Yo, why don't you lend me the money,
man? You lay it out. I'll run

You don't got to do nothing.

Nah, bud, I can't be, man. I'm broke.

Yeah, right?

You just bought a fucking cigarette.
Stop playing me, man. You make it in a

week. Order 20 grand from the old man.
He'll give it to you, all right?

No, I'm serious, man.

Let it go, all right? Forget about it.
Fuck ficking it. You ain't gonna raise

grand. Those guys are full of shit
anyways. They ain't got nothing.

Let me the cash. Lay it out. I'll run
everything. I'll make us money. Get off

dick, all right? You got me sitting
here? Would you move the fucking car?

Huh?

Billy spent the rest of the day checking
up on his vending machine.

He had a root with some wise guy's kid.

Could have given me the money, but it
was okay. I understood.

Besides, there was another way.

My friend Sal ran this club and he had a
plan.

I wasn't worried.

I wasn't blowing this deal.

So, this is it, huh?

You got me riding down here to see a
house?

To Mr. Abman's dove with somebody I
haven't seen in four years? Why don't

on up and see if she still remembers
you?

I can't, man. I wouldn't even know what
to say to the girl.

Easy, Romeo. Why don't you start off by
saying, baby, I love you.

And get your ass on the back of the bike
so we can get the hell out of here,

man. Come on, just do it.

You need some help?

Dude, I just don't fucking know.

You knew once.

I'm starving, man. You want to eat?

Eat?

You serious?

You spent the last half hour breaking my
heart and now you want me to eat?

I can't eat. How can I eat?

Thank you.

Billy's getting beeped like a man.

We had to stop every ten minutes.

Business must have been really good.

He was holding me up. I was supposed to
meet Sal. But that's it, you never know.

There's a direct line, you have these
plans, but fate is busy dying, and boom,

moves you in another way.

Trevor was back.

If I ring the bell, then I gotta deal
with the family. Right.

I don't wanna deal with it.

What's up, man?

Yeah,

you were gonna call me? I was just gonna
call you. Yeah, yeah, you lying

motherfucker.

What are you doing here, huh?

Where you been?

I've been all over the place, man.

Oh, man.

Where you been hiding, huh?

Nowhere, really.

Yo, man, it's good to see you. Yeah,
man. And you guys, too.

So why are you back?

What do you mean, why is he back, man?
This is home.

He came back to get us. Give him a last
look, man.

We're heading out west.

Yeah, for what? See some of your old
buddies from Zona?

Nah, man, fuck that. We're going out to
California.

Hey, Cali, man. Yeah, yeah, I might get
in on that journey, you know? You know,

I like to use a vacation.

But your whole life's a fucking
vacation.

You're playing me so hard, man.

So how long are you going to be here?

I don't know, man. We just got here a
couple hours ago.

What do you think, dude? How long?

You say the word, man. We gone.

Shit, man. I'm sorry. Yo, guys.

This is my friend's friend.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Everything okay, Mr. Trattner?

Yeah, yeah.

Everything is fine.

Here, Michael.

Take these out to the car.

And be careful with them, okay?

No problem.

Michael, he's a great kid. He'll do
anything.

You know, one time, this had been about
four years ago, he and his other kid,

they moved some furniture into my house,
and they dropped my debt.

$40 ,000, they dropped it.

So did Kit and Mikey.

He felt terrible.

But the other kid got no heart. He
didn't say anything. No word, nothing.

He probably said, a fucking old Jew, he
probably deals in some spotters or

something like that.

So I call Michael on the side.

See? And I tell him, listen kid, I want
you to forget about the desk.

But first, I want you to go over to this
kid and cut off one of his ears.

Don't make any difference which one.

And bring it to me tomorrow. You
understand?

So the fucking kid says, that's it.

Like it ain't nothing.

So he comes back to me the next day.

And he doesn't bring me one. He brings
me two of those things.

Holy shit.

And I bet the other kid didn't even hear
him coming. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I tell you, Louie.

They're a perfect match.

They're almost as good as your stones.

That Michael, he's a great kid.

He's honorable.

He'll do anything I say.

He's a prince.

He really is.

You know, it probably doesn't seem like
a long time, man, but bullet no matter

is like fucking ten years on the
streets, man.

All I kept thinking about is...

I'm gonna get passed by.

You know, everybody's out in the world
just fucking passing me by.

What happened to you was fucked, man.

Nobody caught it coming.

We tried to help you out. Look, what
happened to me is done, all right?

It's history.

We fucked up.

I took the fall, so it's dead. It's
over.

Fuck it.

So what's going on in Cali?

I don't know, man. Good fucking
question. Ask everybody.

You pussies, what's going on?

Yeah? I'll relocate for Cali, pussy.

But you don't get no pussy nowhere. You
don't even get laid here.

Man, why you dissing on me?

Oh, please, Buck, please.

Relax with the diss, all right?

I don't need you playing nigger now, all
right? You little walking fucking

identity crisis.

Everybody wants to be a nigger till they
are one, huh? You want to play nigger,

I'll take you up to 125th and X. You can
play the whole roll, all right?

This kid don't get laid.

Like you get pussy.

What, are you out of your fucking mind?

Come on.

Would you fuck that didn't cost you
three grand in drinks? Bud, please.

Please, all right?

You fucking houseboy.

You don't change the subject, too.

Okay.

How about that girl Cindy after China
Club Monday night, huh?

You went to China Club Monday night?

Quite fucking naturally. I might have
forgotten to show you an invitation, so

shut the fuck up. Did I get laid? What
do I look like, a boy like you, huh? I'm

a fucking man. I'm fucking
international.

I'm getting crazy pussy constantly.

Crazy pussy's in Hollywood.

Hey, fuck fucking Hollywood, all right?

Those queer dick -smuggled
motherfuckers.

When are you leaving?

Have you guys seen Laura lately?

I don't know. I haven't seen her in a
couple of years.

I want to see her before I leave.

I got to ask you, why didn't you come
back when you got out?

I don't know, man. I wish, you know, I
wish I could answer that question.

I guess I just needed some time, and I
kind of multiplied, you know?

I'm late.

Nice watch, man.

Yeah? You want to have a good time, you
got to have a good watch, huh?

Where are you going, man?

Hey, what are you, writing a fucking
novel, huh?

I got to go back uptown. I got to see
somebody. These guys will dump you off.

On what, their bikes?

Don't worry, man. We got you covered.

Hey, you guys want, you can crash in my
place. And my old man, he's still doing

that whole Japan thing.

Cool. So you guys still gonna be here in
the morning, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

All right.

See you then, Bill.

See ya.

Some things ain't ever gonna change,
man.

Change, Mikey.

That's what the world is all about.

It's the only constant action.

To know what people want and can't get
is half the fight.

This is how we live.

You understand?

I understand.

Do you, Michael?

I think so.

I hope so.

I hope you never forget what I tell you.

Incidentally, Michael, those stones, I
want you to take them.

Put him in a safe.

That's close.

Take care of him, Michael.

No problem.

Anything else you need?

That's it.

Good night, Mr. Trenner.

Oh, Michael.

There's another thing.

This manager you got working at the
club.

Sal? Yeah, his name is Sal.

He's been sneaking around my office.

You see him in your office?

That's Broad. Gina.

She saw him.

And you believe him? I can't waste my
time whether I believe him or not.

I just don't want him sneaking around my
office.

So what's the answer?

Throw out the girl.

And keep an eye on that manager.

It's so easy, man.

It's so fucking easy.

We've been doing like 20 grand drops
every Saturday night.

And they don't touch the cash for at
least two or three weeks.

There's some big fucking green sitting
right in the fucking safe.

Sitting right there.

Well, guess who's got the combination,
huh?

The manager, man.

He lined the whole thing up. It's a done
deal.

All I got to do is do it.

Are you out of your fucking mind, man? I
can't believe how fucking sick you

actually became.

That place is a wise guy joint. You want
to end up dead?

There ain't no wise guys in this place.

Some old Jewish guy owns it.

Probably thinks it'll keep him young or
something.

Look, I need this move, man. I want it
bad.

Hey, come on, look.

This place is gonna be jam -fucking
-packed with people everywhere. Bounces

over the joint. What are you, nuts?

Wrong again.

The doors close at four.

The fucking plate is dead empty.

Except for the bounces, whatever we used
that night. Could be four, could be

eight of them.

They come around the back. They don't
ever gonna fucking clue what the fuck's

going down.

Jamie, the door, bust a few heads, kick
a little ass.

One of these forces me to pop the save.
We're made.

Hey, what am I supposed to do, huh?

I'm 23, man.

23.

Yeah, the kids we grew up with, it's
only make a half a million a year.

Half a million pushing stocks. You
believe that shit?

You ought to run their old man's
business or something. It's something,

Who gives a fuck what everyone else is
doing?

This place is not real.

This place is science fucking fiction,
man. Look around.

Don't make this about money, man,
because it's not.

Look at friends.

That guy's lived everywhere.

California, Florida, Vegas, New York,
Chicago, Cuba. The guy's never had a

frigging dollar in his pocket, but he's
happy.

His main goal in life is to shit and
sleep indoors.

All that stuff about the robbery, man,
that's just part of it.

I don't want to jinx it by telling you,
but, uh...

You remember my old guys from the
neighborhood?

Vic and Eddie?

They got one of the best fucking deals
in history, man.

Best fucking deals in history, babe. I'm
hooking you so big it scares me. Gives

me the chills.

I wouldn't hook my own mother so sweet.
Sweet hooking you, babe. This is sweeter

than sugar.

The guy Ray out western zone. You know
the guy. Don't Ray me.

No, that kid Ray. With one foot?

He's getting pinched in a couple days.

He's getting pinched hard. He's going
away forever.

He's out of there. Going away for a long
time and he knows it.

He needs cash fast and with distance.

He's getting the pinch from the feds.
You know the J. Edgar Hoovers? This kid

needs cash and fast.

Babe, they're all over him. You got the
tip from a junkie fed.

This is the shit I dream about.

My score.

Our score.

Oh, man, you used to beg for a score
like this.

Yeah? Yeah, this is a fucking dream.

He wants to get rid of 100 pounds of
hydroponic bud from, uh... From Aravaca.

He's gonna let us take it for 40 up
front and 40 when we roll.

40 grand and it's ours. We got 20 of it.
We're half of the way there. We need

another 20. We only got three days,
though.

He's gotta have the wood in three days,
though.

Kindest bud you ever smoked, babe.

A hundred elbows, we's gonna make a
fortune.

And roll it over. And over. And over.
Big money, babe. This is the kindest

you ever smoked.

So I got a great deal going.

But as usual, it just keeps getting
fucked up with a problem.

What's the fucking problem, huh?

Bought a kiss from your old man.

You always say it. Hook me, Vic. Hook
me, Vic. Hook me, Eddie. Hook me.

Well, you're hooked.

So here's your chance.

Come on, man. Run with it. Raise the
bread, huh?

Pause from the kid, Billy. He's got
about a trillion or so just laying

Just run with it, baby. Come on, huh?

So, uh, when are you going to go see
Laura?

Why?

I'm curious, man. You know, you came
back to get her.

Yeah, say what you want. I'm not that
fucking dumb.

So what are you going to do, huh?

What do you mean?

You got no money, no job, no home.

Your parents are hiding from you in
Florida so you don't give your old man

another stroke.

You think you'd give her a good life
like that, huh?

Yeah, man, I think so. You know, I hope.

Laura's high maintenance.

Plus, uh... Plus, you haven't seen her
in four years.

That's gonna cost you, man.

You gotta take care of her. Take care of
her right.

Look, you think it's coincidence that
you came back here? What are you trying

say?

Fate, man, fate.

Oh, shut up.

Hey, look, I need you on this with me,
man.

Even if you don't come along, I'm gonna
take care of you. I owe you.

Took the heat off for me.

Me and Billy.

Yeah.

So where's Billy in this little picture
of yours, huh?

Fuck him, man.

Shit's different now.

How's that?

Hey, Billy's big time, man.

You don't know him anymore.

I don't even think I know.

Kid's crazy, man. You can't talk to him.

He's in a pen 15 a week. I don't even
have an idea I was making it.

What, you don't work with him?

Treats me like a fucking gopher.

But once in a while, real rarely, like
he'll throw me something, but shit, you

know? Yeah.

That's why I gotta line this up myself.

More with you, man.

Apartment house on Columbus Ave.

A Benz, boat, house in a ham, place on
FireEye, copters to AC,

shitloads of cash, man.

That kid's huge.

There must be something in the way I
feel that she don't want me to feel.

Stairship bears a cut me.

I don't care. So what if I bleed?

I can never change.

My face will never show what is now
real.

The sweetest feeling I got from you. The
things I said to you were

true.

Life can never change what I feel. My
face will never show what is now real.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Yo,

man, here's your question. Where the
fuck is Billy at?

That guy's supposed to be carrying some
shit.

Yo, man, he's in A .C. if you want him
for bad people.

Fuck off with you, man.

Yo, yo.

U -O -Y -Z.

What, it's down for tonight or what?

Let me see that.

I need you to tell me about this sub
thing tonight.

Let's do it. It sounds like 80.

We need the cash, man.

I thought we had enough, but I... I
figured out some additional expenses.

Yeah, additional expenses, like eating.

Yo, man, don't play preacher on me now.

I'm down for the night.

I can't believe you didn't hear about

it, man. I can't believe you didn't hear
about it.

Nobody gone up there and told you shit
up there, you know?

Crazy shit up there, man.

Fucking all three of them went boom.

One after the other like that.

Fucking gone.

It's fucking shame. Ain't like when we
were kids now. Anybody get whacked.

Anybody can get whacked.

Kids are getting whacked. It ain't just
fucking happening over there. It ain't

just happening over there. It's
happening here, man.

Shit's fucking happening everywhere.

So what do we do now, huh?

You're fucking crazy. Just fucking live.

I don't give a fuck!

Nobody fucking move.

You guys

are going to be so sorry. Shut the

fuck up. You do it all the time, man.
Suck my dick.

Get out of the way, man.

This is the big league, boys.

Somebody is getting fucking done.

Pop that one right there, man.

You're fucking lying about.

What do you want? What?

What? Huh?

Huh?

Fucking whore. I'll blow your fucking
brains out. Don't fucking look at me.

Don't fucking look at me. I'll fucking
take... I will fucking blow his fucking

brains out.

Huh?

Oh, man.

You ever ride the D train?

You know what I'm saying?

Take a little hit of D, get you going
right on, man.

Yeah, because I'm going to give it to
them and give it good.

Something like a New Year's shirt with
the taste.

Shut up! What is wrong with you? Shut
the fuck up! You want to die, asshole?

Use your fucking head!

Shut up! Shut the motherfucker!

Shut up! Shut the fuck up!

Now you don't fucking know me. We ain't
fucking dragging you out of the fucking

place.

Oh, do you know where the fuck we are?

Yo, man, why you gotta shoot that guy in
the ass? It has to be done, man. It has

to be done. Yeah, I'm like, run.

Hey, man, what's up with this?

It's more cases, things like a fucking,
things like Richie Rich House. Yeah,

well, that don't concern you. Just put
it down, man. Just poor Jew trying to

earn a living. Yeah, you stick with me,
man. You make some more.

All right, sure. All I'm asking for is
five minutes, please.

No, no, I need to talk to you. Hey,
Nick!

Blow your thick, Percy.

Don't worry about it, all right? Shut
the fuck up.

What, did I say I'd take care of you?
Yeah, yeah. 20 grand?

20 grand? It's all there? Yeah. All
right, all right. Beautiful. Take care,

right? Always.

We love America.

You call a guy a pussy. You don't call
him a pussy from across the room. You

to get this game. It's mine. It's mine.

Look,

I'm sorry.

I'm really, really sorry.

I got all your letters.

It's just that place fucked my head up.

Well, you could have written back.

I mean, you never even accepted my
visit.

I didn't write back to anybody. I didn't
read the letters.

I didn't accept anyone's visits.

Come on, you could never understand.

Try dying, because that's what it's
like.

No, I knew that you would outgrow me.

And I knew that you wouldn't wait for
me.

Am I wrong?

No, I'm not.

I did wait for you.

And you didn't come back.

Look, the last thing you wanted or
needed was a convicted felon.

That's what I am.

Look, Slade, I really don't want to get
into this right now, please.

Please don't do this to me right now,
okay?

Okay. Sorry.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

You know what?

I'll be at Andy's until then.

I'm sorry.

By the way, you're looking real good.

Good morning, good morning,

the best to you each morning.

Rise and shine.

Real tough guys.

Bunch of fucking cuties.

Say hello to Sal.

Oh, looky, looky. Now you see him, now
you don't. Now you smell him, now you

don't. Good partin' you got yourselves
here, boys. Took him all of two seconds

before he ratted you out. Take a good
fuckin' look, huh?

Like I said, this is just the beginning.

You're gonna be real sorry. Look at him!

Look at him!

You shoot my regular security guy.

And they got him hangin' from the
ceiling ass up.

In South Nassau.

But that's not my problem.

My problem is...

You took my money. It's not what you
think. Shut up! You keep your fucking

shut. You're not that tough.

You're all a bunch of fucking pansies.

I'll bet that you'll never miss a meal
in your fucking life.

When I was a kid, we stole because we
had no money. You understand?

We had no money.

But in those days, we had respect.

And there was a fucking code!

Sir, I had no idea.

This asshole I got high with, he told me
it was nobody's place.

I'm not stupid. I wouldn't hit anybody's
place. I'm with people. You're not with

anyone! Yes, I understand that. I'm not
with anyone.

I'd never disrespect you, I swear.

I swear I'd never disrespect you.

And my friends here, they didn't have
anything to do with it. I set the whole

mess up myself.

I'll take full responsibility.

Spend it!

Yeah.

Kid, you just don't get it.

Do you know who I am?

Yeah, you're the boss.

You ever hear of Jackie Trattner?

Jackie Trattner, yeah.

Yeah, I know him.

He was my grandfather's best friend.

He's dead now, right?

Kid, I might be tired, but I ain't dead.

Tonight's spaghetti ferretti and little
dick slick thick.

What you got, spy?

What I got?

I got the pain from the hay.

You got the wood?

What you fucking deaf?

We got the wood for Ray's goods.

Right here, right now?

Hey, what the fuck is in your head, huh?
You think we're going to come out here

to tell you we got the cash at home?

You think we come all the way out here
without the fucking green?

So you got it here, then.

Oh, come on. What are you, stupid or
something?

Get going up there, you know?

You're slow.

Something's wrong.

Yeah, really, really. So Vic and Eddie,
right? They take the cash. They front it

out. Any profit that comes in, we roll
over into another move.

You don't got to worry about your money,
all right?

I'll get it back to you in a week.

Tops a week.

Spitting image you are.

I wish he could see you.

Jesus, Maxi Rector?

Your grandfather was a great man.

We did a lot of work together. We opened
up the regal club.

Fish also.

Maxie was some kid.

Though, he never watched his health.

He thought he would live forever.

Your grandfather, he was the greatest.

He was real tough.

I couldn't get him to stop eating red
meat.

Too bad he's not here with us now.

Your grandfather...

was ahead of his time.

A great man.

Great man.

Some kind of a guy.

We did everything.

I'm telling you, Andy, we were like
that.

But there's nobody around anymore.

Just me and Fish.

Everybody else died.

The rest went to Miami Beach.

Amen.

Now look, this is the way I'm going to
work it.

The three years are going to work for me
until you pay me off.

That's a deal, right? Non -negotiable.

The others we'll forget about for the
time being.

I'll forget about the others.

That's it.

Fucking tuna. I said chicken salad,
Dick.

You said tuna. I said chicken salad.

Get the fuck out of here.

What do you need, Jack?

You know what to do with these.

Who's the kid?

What you playing with the fucking thing
for?

You said chicken, right?

I said what I said was tuna, not
chicken, you dick. And you forgot to

It's a real mean scene, but we can love.

Oh, yeah.

I'm a boss back at home with the Beatles
and the Stones.

Never got it off on that revolution.

What a drag.

Too many drags.

I drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling
fine. Gonna raise some caps to bed.

Oh, is that concrete on?

Why do you want to go to L .A., huh? I
mean, come on, what can you do out

I told you, I'd stay here and I'd think
about all the things I fucked up.

I just want to go away. I want to get
away. I just want to be away.

It's like I can't stay here and I can't
live with my mistakes, so I'm going to

leave. And I'm going to take you with
me.

You're crazy.

Yeah? Yeah.

As crazy as your boyfriend?

What boyfriend?

Yeah, look, I'm not mad. I mean, I was a
little upset.

But I have no right to be. I'm not...
I'm not mad.

Listen. What?

It's not what you think.

Okay?

Billy is my friend.

I needed a friend in a big way after you
left. But there's nothing more to it

than that. Really.

Do you still see him?

No.

When was the last time?

The second I saw you.

Hey, Dave.

How you doing, man?

Hey, how you doing, man?

Boy, you look so different. I almost
didn't notice you.

Yeah, it's been a while.

Yeah, what are you doing with yourself?

A whole lot of nothing.

You know, the same bullshit.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm in law
school now, Columbia.

This is my fiancée, Leslie.

Leslie, this is Andy. We went to high
school together.

Really? Yeah, yeah. We're going to get
married in three months.

Anyway, talking about high school, this
guy was a madman. What he did is he

devised a, like, point shaving system.

And he, like, made tons of cash just on
basketball teams. Really? Yeah, high

school basketball.

So, you know, I just popped in to see
the parents.

You know, came to Long Island. I mean,
you know, nobody comes here anymore.

I don't know why.

I don't know why.

I mean, like, everybody we knew is not
here anymore.

They just leave, you know? I mean...
Well, there's nothing to do. I mean...

True. This is true.

Anyway, I'm uptown now. If you want,
stop by.

You can take the train.

You can take the train or anything.
Really.

I mean that. Be good, man.

Nice seeing you.

Dick. It's the whole crew, man. You
know, me,

Bobby, Nicky, Monty, Ricky.

Whole crew.

Who? Fucking beautiful, man. Bobby
popped this guy in his fucking ass. Who

was there?

Fucking Trevor was there. Andy was
there.

Who was... Trevor was there? Yeah,
Trevor was there, man. Fucking Bobby

this fucking hole in this guy's ass,
man. It was a fucking star. Wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

Trevor was there. Yeah, Trevor was
there. What's here?

Making that scene.

Making that love scene.

Got to be seen.

Making that love scene.

Hey, don't even say this.

Don't say nothing to me, all right?

Don't be coming here playing like you're
bad or something. I'll take both of you

outside and give you both fucking
beatings right now.

What's going on? What's the matter with
you?

Can we get you a drink or something?
Shut up.

I got a drink.

And you guys are doing deals with this
kid, Andy? This kid's a fucking flunky.

From now on, I got half of this thing
you're doing with him.

And if you got a problem with that, you
go do what you gotta do. And you go see

who you gotta see. And I'll go see who I
gotta see.

Take it easy, buddy. What are you
excited about?

Don't be coming in here talking to me
like I'm some fucking... some fucking

pimp. Huh?

Because I'll bury boots just right where
you're standing.

I got no problem with it. Don't mean
nothing to me.

And if this fucking kid Travis got a
problem with it, I'll straighten him the

fuck out, too.

All right. Whatever you say. Whatever
you say, Billy. You're on top. You're

boss.

This motherfucker, he's in and out of
there every day.

Yeah, so what do you want to do about
it?

I've known Billy a long time.

He's an earner.

It's good to have him around.

Who is this guy?

Over where?

It's a drill around the block, aren't
he?

See what we could do for you.

So, uh, who's the guy?

Jackie Trattner. Why, you know him?

Yeah.

Some of my friends know the guy.

Yeah, who's that?

Some kids and queens you don't know.

So what'd they tell you about him?

Nothing. He's got some cash.

You put a nice little crew together,
huh?

What's the matter with it?

Hey.

Bud, for you, nothing's wrong with it,
right?

But you're a bunch of fucking nobodies,
you know what I'm saying?

Hey, I got Jackie Trattner, man. It
doesn't matter.

Bud, let me tell you something.

The guy ain't fucking nothing, all
right? He's got a few dollars to throw

shit.

This guy loves me, man.

The guy don't even know what fucking day
it is. He's so fucking senile, he's got

you working for him.

My friends will buy and sell his
asshole, all right?

So do me a favor.

Don't come around here playing like you
got some juice, all right?

Because yours is a bunch of fucking
boys.

Yours is a bunch of fucking nobodies,
all right?

What's up, man? What's bothering you?

Listen, man, you got to do me a favor,
all right?

Get us out of this fucking thing.

I don't want to be fucking stuck here
working for this fucking guy for the

of my life, all right?

I'm working on it, all right? I'm
trying.

You got to give me back 25 grand, man.

It's not that easy to come up with this
stuff.

Yeah, but it don't fucking seem like
you're trying so hard, you know?

Just take care of it, okay? All right,
trust me, man.

Look, I want out of here.

I got some money coming around soon,
okay?

I said everything right. I'll clean this
mess up.

Just trust me on it.

What, you think I want to be around here
the rest of my life?

Take care of it, all right?

All right, man.

Philly called you. I was coming by,
right?

Oh, you're billing?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure, kid, yeah.

Philly told me all about you.

Said to give the kid whatever he wants.

So, uh, what do you need?

I got a little problem with this kid
that picks up for Trattner.

Which one?

The one with the bike?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh... Trevor.

Yeah, what do you want me to do?

I want you to give this kid fake stones
next time he comes in here.

All right?

You'll get your money, we'll take care
of you. I got friends, you know what I'm

saying?

You're my friend, right, man?

Yeah. So if I ask you something, you
want me to, like, take a pencil, right?

at all.

Boy, you got that funky style after
clothing.

Like some of your favorite fucking
Madonna videos. Like you guys know

about reality.

You guys are stuck in those five pounds.
You get everything you fucking want.

Yeah, but you want to settle with little
shit, man. I want big time. Big time.

Yo, man, look at the deal I hooked up,
right?

Look, it felt like it was going to
backfire on us, right? And we're set

Trattner, man. We'll make some cash with
this deal.

That's nice.

Look, this is all I know.

Trevor can make two or three grand a
week working with Trattner. Me and him,

both of us, all three of us. We can make
a living doing it. And he wants to

throw it away, man. I can't figure it
out.

I mean, life is about making money.

That's what life's about. No, bullshit.

Money comes and goes. Money comes and
goes, and it will always come and go.

will make it, and you will fucking lose
it. I guarantee it. No, man, you've got

the same problem as them.

I'm telling you, man. They're clueless.
You ride around on the back of some

Harley, you know, you think you know the
world. With your mom driving you.

No, no, no, no. It's what I'm learning.

You'll find out one of these days.

See, Trevor learned the hard way.

He could teach you, man. He could teach
you. You guys can make so much money

with me, man.

I believe the kid Billy.

He's with some strong people.

Says he's doing us a favor because he's
going to want some help with a few

things he wants to do.

I checked it out.

He's for real.

The kid he already made the pickup.

All faith in the kid.

I can't believe he's so goddamn dumb.

I heard him talking about this
California trip.

I think he'd try to beat us when he
splits.

Billy says Prev is a junkie.

You might believe that, too.

Here you go, Jack.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You sure?

You tell me.

Tell you what?

Jack, is everything okay?

Everything's all right.

All right. You sure?

Yeah. All right, cool.

I'm gonna go.

I'll see you tomorrow?

All right.

All right, bye.

And the way you can tell me what these
men are doing is what I can tell you

about what these kids are doing.

This kid's a rat.

He got busted a couple years ago and he
opened up his mouth about everybody.

Now, don't think it personal. This kid
ain't got no respect for nobody.

He's a junkie.

He don't care who he steals from.

What's this thing you want from me?

I got money tied into a dozen things.

I got cash all over the streets.

I got kids working for me everywhere.

Sometimes I get a problem.

You may be able to answer some questions
for me.

That's the favor that I'm asking of you.

I know that you're retired.

And I respect that of you.

But I'm asking for your help.

Who are these kids?

They're us.

All over again.

Hey, it's easy.

No big thing.

You do it once, you can do it every day.

Don't mean nothing.

Who's place?

Some fucking whore.

Oh yeah?

How's she looking?

Broke your heart, huh?

I gotta go.

I love you.

I love you too.

Where you going?

What's up, man?

Tell me, big shot, huh?

Yeah, man, what the fuck are you talking
about?

What do you mean, what the fuck am I
talking about, huh?

Yeah. We gotta have a little chat, bud.
We got a little problem.

Got a problem.

You got a fucking problem with me,
asshole?

Yeah, I got a fucking problem with you.

Huh?

Billy, calm down, man. Put the fucking
gun away.

All right? Fucking just relax, all
right? Billy, relax. Don't fucking point

thing at me. I'm with you, man.

You're not with me, huh?

You're some big shot now, huh? You're
somebody, huh?

Man, what the fuck are you talking
about?

Huh? What is this?

What is this about? Is this about Laura?
This ain't about no girl.

I don't give a fuck about nobody.

You just turned into a fucking punk, you
know that?

What's with the fucking rap session
here, huh?

You're a fucking pussy.

You gotta bring your girlfriend here
with you, huh?

Like smack, Ginny. I didn't think you
had it in.

I've known you all my life, man. This is
where we're at.

All the time we've spent together. All
the years.

We were brothers and now you're gonna
fuck me up?

You're gonna fuck me, Billy?

Huh?

Look at me, Billy.

Talk to me. Tell me what's up.

Tell me.

Talk to me. Does that fucking piece of
shit mean something to you?

She's my girl, Billy.

She's my girl.

Come on, fuck.

Let's do it.

You fucking tough guy.

Fight me, fuck.

Come on, motherfucker.

Get up. Come on.

Billy. Billy, put the fucking gun down.
Come on, Tom.

Come on already, huh?

Billy, it's me.

Put the fucking gun down.

Dohom.

Dohom!

Finish him already, will you, man?

Dohom.

Hey, you ever kill anybody?

You can

do it once,

you can do it every day.

You should never come back.

What?

Well... Laura, what's the matter?

I don't know. I thought he stayed with
you.

Spike was where?

Two hours of sleeping at your age is
good.

Just take care of yourself, Mikey. I
need you breathing.

You should take lots of vitamins.

You gonna stay out all night? You need a
good multivitamin.

Two hours of sleep is all I need.

I love night work.

How did it go?

It was a real fucking pain in the ass.

I gotta grab the kid and his girl.

To drag him to the fucking alley. To
chop him in the weeds.

It was all over the fucking place.

What is it, kid? I'm in a meeting.

Has anybody seen Trevor?

Oh, my God. I know something happened to
him.

I'm sure he's fine. He probably just
needs to spend some time alone.

I don't think so. I mean, the bike is
still there.

Listen, if he doesn't come back here
soon, we have to do something, okay?

What can we do? I'm sure there's a
logical reason for why he's gone.

problem.

Especially with a cold, man.

Something is definitely up.

Man, I didn't want to come here.

I knew this place was fucked.

Yo, doctor, chill out, man. This place
is paradise.

So if you don't like it... You best be
departing like Billy Martin.

Oh, shit.

Yo, what's up, man? Where's your father?

You're my fucking father. Yo, man,
relax, man. Chill, dude.

Fuck, man. Chill, chill.

Listen, Vic, I need the cash.

Yeah, yeah, I understand that, but I got
problems too.

Will you just listen to me for a second?

Fucking A, I got a severe problem.

Look, give me 25 for even.

Eddie. Eddie.

Vic, get the fuck off the phone.

Eddie, look, I don't give a fuck about
your front end procedures. I need the

cash. I need it fast.

Just get me my money, all right?

Hey, hey, hey.

Gentlemen, how you doing?

You set it down in here, huh? She's
fucking hot. Oh, she's beautiful. I love

I love it.

Vivacious, curvaceous, beautiful.

I need 25.

Every time we spot you, you're fucking
late.

You got balls even coming out. Come on.

Give up the green. Come on, man. Don't
be lame. Give up the green.

You won't be late this time. I promise.

Won't be late. Scouts on him. Scouts on
him. All right?

You're late. We're going to have a
contest.

Hey, you're beautiful.

What was your morning up there? Who's
better than you?

I was telling Eddie the other day,
generosity is only exceeded by a good

Yeah. Take a look.

All right.

Hey, all right. Beautiful. Beautiful
fucking book. Nice. New talent, really.

love it. Boy, she moves.

You can tell. She's a ballet.

Art. This is art. This is the finest
form of art.

I just spoke to Webber over there. That
fucking talent of yours is getting a

little waxed, huh?

What? What are you talking about?

The kids.

Know that kid from your town?

Who?

Who?

The kid who got smoked last night.

Who's that?

Small.

Hath the ways.

Hey, look who it is.

Who's he? Hey, you both look like
skippers, so where's Gilligan hiding?

Outback fucking myself.

Come on, come on, come on. You like it?
What do you think of it?

Got a Kentucky foot step from Brooklyn.

What do you think? We're going in the
fishing business.

Listen to this.

We're going to do marlin. We're going to
do swordfish.

Bluefin tuna.

18 bucks a pound. We're going for 1 ,000
pounders. What are you kidding me? 1

,000 pounders. You got 18 grand. We'll
pay for the boat in no time. We'll pay

the boat right off. Hey, but never mind
that. Let me get you. I got something

for you. Take care of him.

So what's new, buddy? What have you been
doing?

Change your 25.

You just made what? 5 ,000? That's not
bad for a week or so, right?

That's damn good.

You got to admit it.

Yeah, right.

You guys are going to make about 20
times this before you're done.

Oh, come on. Hey, I'm doing you a favor.
Ain't nobody forcing you out of here,

you know? Yeah, nobody's leaning on you.

You didn't get in the arm or nothing.
Pulling out's your choice. That's right,

man. It's your decision. You make it, we
take it. Simple. All right, all right,

all right.

I'm all kidding aside, you know.

You guys are all right, all right?

I don't think, because you always won.
Yeah, you owe me one, too, so let's not

forget.

That's too bad what happened to your
buddy, Trevor.

Fucking Billy's out of fucking control.
He's trying to put points on the fucking

board. I want to wring his fucking neck.

What?

You didn't know?

Tell me.

Trevor said he never trusted him.

Especially after the bust.

I think in a way he was happy you went
away and not you.

Worried about you, man. He loved you.

And I let him down.

What are we gonna do?

What can we do?

Can't go to the cops, man.

They don't give a fuck.

Get a record and he's the last thing
they care about

What about Billy

What's up, boy?

What are you doing?

Huh?

Why?

What are you talking about, huh?

What are you talking like a dumb house
boy for, huh?

How could you do it?

You look like brothers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't
point that fucking thing at me, huh?

You gonna shoot me?

You gonna kill me?

Huh?

Go to jail?

You pull that trigger, you're dead.

You kill me, you kill yourself.

I'll take my chances.

I lost you small

too much.

Take a thousand milligrams of vitamin C.

You're late.

There's your 25.

Done, right?

Where are you going?

Stay here.

You're good here, Andy.

You're amongst friends.

I don't think so.

You know what else is good?

Zinc.

So you think that changed, eh?

Live for yourself, the day and tomorrow.

Look after your health, forget all your
sorrows. I

wish I could have cleaned you, but you
could run

wild.

I would have liked to know you as an
innocent child.

When I went away, she didn't hear a
word.

Cause I didn't write.

And I knew.

Lonely and cold in my heart.

That I lost her that night.

Five years without a word.

It's a long time.

Didn't think she'd still be mine.

Lifetime is all I have.

Every dream could bring it to me.

As the evening winds Long Island, the
days fall into the

sea.

When I go down to the ocean side, try to
make it all

right. And I know only now we're apart.

I better keep out of sight.

People change, but I'm the same.

I think we'll find it even after all
this time.

Life drives on Long Island.

Every train could bring its remains.

As the evening winds, Long Island, the
days fall into

the sea.

When this crazy world Was my side.

Didn't have to bust and fight.

And I knew at the end of my sleep.

Well, I could see the light.

Coming through to something inferior.

But I'll never be that untimed.

Like Jack O 'Lantern.

Every train could bring it to me.

As the evening winds Long Island, the
days fall into

the sea.
