I heard from some of Gambino's guys that the old man is not too happy

with our move.

Fuck him. This is an internal dispute.

Francis, Sicily? Do we really need that whole section?

Yes. It's so important to Michael's story.

Hi, Bob. What are you doing here?

Is there somebody in there?

Please, just go.

ALI: You give everything to this business,

and there's nothing left for me.

(SNORTS)

Sure you know what you're doing?

EVANS: Lighten up, Ruddy. You know what kings do?

Whatever the fuck we want.

You're fired.

Get the fuck off my set.

BALLARD: This isn't over, Evans.

You have to learn early in life if you're the kind of guy

who could hit somebody over the head with a baseball bat.

I don't know if I can do that.

I think that's why I like you.

You gonna be at the rally tomorrow?

RUDDY: Wouldn't miss it for the world.

RUDDY: How can I help you, boys?

RICHMAN: Did you see this guy at the rally?

Never seen him before.

- Who is he? - Name's Joe Gallo.

He's a person of interest in yesterday's shooting.

Well, the guy who shot Colombo was Black.

- I saw him. - Yeah, we know.

We read the statement you gave the NYPD.

You think this Gallo guy had something to do with it?

We're, uh, exploring all avenues.

Listen, guys, I don't know what this has to do with me.

You're close with Colombo, right?

My only interaction with Colombo has been about my movie.

Is that what you were talking about when you had dinner at his home?

That was a courtesy.

RICHMAN: That's what you say.

But we have more surveillance footage on you

than we do of some of the boys in his crew.

I don't know shit about what goes on in his world.

Well, then let me explain it to you.

Joey Gallo puts a hit on a boss, and he lives,

there's no way Colombo doesn't retaliate.

Just make sure you're not standing in the crossfire when he does.

Thanks, fellas.

If you happen to remember anything, give us a call.

Fuck.

Robert, Robert, Robert. Nicholson's in.

- He is? Did he read the script? - He didn't have to.

I said, "Jack, baby, it's me, it's you,

"it's Polanski, it's Chinatown, let's do it."

Wait, Polanski?

I think he's perfect for it.

I loved Rosemary's Baby.

Well, you're welcome.

Yeah, he's got a European point of view on this country.

And it ain't squeaky clean.

- It's a dark story. - Hey, lifesaver.

Can I get a vodka martini with a wisp of vermouth and a twist?

- Two? - It's 11:00 a.m.

- One. - Yes, sir.

Everything okay in your world?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

Robert, I love the script, man.

I love the twists, I love the tone.

You've really elevated the idea of a PI.

Thanks.

If there's one thing, just one small thing,

the conspiracy is a little hard to follow.

So, if you had to...

Just for me, if you had to talk about Chinatown,

the themes, etcetera,

what would the pitch be, man?

It's about something so essential that people need to live.

The water supply in Los Angeles being manipulated for the sake of power.

WAITER: Here you are, sir.

And the greed of these rarefied, corrupt individuals

who think they can manipulate whoever they want to like puppets.

Yeah.

Now, beyond that, there is a certain fragile beauty in Los Angeles.

There is no other place that can double for Sicily.

We've been over this. We can't afford it.

Where do you wanna shoot those scenes? In Palm Springs? Chatsworth?

I didn't say that.

Okay, we have to shoot in Sicily. That's where all the authenticity

is going to come from for this movie.

Isn't that what Evans wants? He wants to "smell the spaghetti".

No. What he said was we could go if we could get there on the budget.

Do you remember the budget?

Do you remember telling Charlie that any overages

would come out of our personal fees?

Okay, so we get minimal crew, you and me, Gordy,

Uh, Dean, Pacino, that's it.

What about gaffers, costumes, lighting?

Okay, Gordy can light the whole thing with a matchbook.

You're going to save a lot of money

because you won't have to dress the set.

It's all authentic.

Okay, travel, lodging, fine.

But then cast and crew all local.

That's 25k max.

Francis, we still have a week left in New York,

and $25,000 isn't nothing.

Please, I need this.

You're very needy.

But I get it, I hear you, and I'll find it.

Grazie.

Grazie, amico.

Get out.

(GROANS)

(EXHALES)

- BETTYE: Hey. - Hey.

How are you?

Good. Just dealing with some budget stuff.

- Nothing new. - Don't do that.

Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.

Fucking Colombo.

I know.

One minute, he's on stage, king of the world, and the next...

(SIGHS)

It's fucked up.

You should've called me.

I was with the police till pretty late.

Doesn't matter.

- How is he? - (EXHALES)

I don't know. I'm going to go see him at the hospital later.

Do you really think you should be doing that?

Just stay away.

No, I can't not go.

I'm fine.

Look, we are fine.

Do you trust me?

Yeah.

It's them I don't trust.

Look, we've got a week left in New York.

We'll just keep our heads down, finish the job.

Try and stay calm.

If I'm drunk after lunch, it's your fault.

- I accept that. Come here. - (CHUCKLES)

You know, if there is a silver lining to any of this stuff,

at least we're done with the mob.

(ITALIAN MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

He lost focus.

Between that goddamn Italian League and the movie,

he was bringing too much heat.

It was time for him to go.

A real boss would know how to keep a low profile.

Look, I agree he wasn't doing the right thing.

But what's to say Gallo doesn't have his sights set on one of us next?

Let's find out.

I say we hear what Gallo's got to say.

Joe, welcome.

- Joey. How are you, kid? - GALLO: Hey. Hey, how you doing?

(CLEARS THROAT)

I appreciate you all taking this moment with me.

And all due respect,

I understand why some of you might feel uncomfortable

with me at this table.

I always had a great respect for Joe Colombo,

but he never understood our way of doing things.

And I want you all to know that your way is my way.

A family of Blacks is not our way.

They're not family. They're useful now.

And I tell you, they earn more than Colombo's guys ever did.

But don't worry, I'll never bring them here again.

Colombo never kicked up fairly on the League.

And he never shared the skim from that fucking movie.

But with me, you get a fair shake.

I'm a straight shooter.

I say we shut down the League.

- It brings too much heat. - I hear that.

GALLO: And as for the movie, I promise we will all share equally.

You have my word.

I'll squeeze that prick producer dry.

You can't fire Jack Ballard.

Oops.

You should have run this by me.

Last time I checked, Jack Ballard, though your personal lapdog, Barry,

was an employee of Paramount Pictures, not Gulf and Western.

His title was vice president.

My title is senior vice president.

Ergo, I can fire him, I did fire him, and now, he's very, very fired.

You look like an unmade bed.

Well, what are you two lovers talking about?

Your golden boy here fired Jack Ballard without consulting us.

Oh, I'm sorry he broke it off with your girlfriend.

What you got, Evans? What's next?

You promised me and the board lots and lots of money.

The Godfather is really coming together.

Yeah, no shit.

Maybe I've heard of that. Maybe I'm tired of hearing about that.

Maybe you can stop telling me what I already know.

Next. What's next?

I got a great script by Robert Towne. Chinatown.

Chinese food makes me fart.

Well, it's a thriller.

Nicholson's interested, and I can get Polanski to direct it.

Well, what is it?

It's about water.

It's about more than that. There's a mystery in the center.

Uh, there's a guy, Nicholson's character,

and he's trying to find out

what's going on.

Uh, it's Los Angeles. Uh...

Water in Los Angeles.

And Nicholson.

So why is it called Chinatown?

It's about 200 people for a wrap party.

Like when you're done shooting a film and you want to celebrate.

A DJ? Uh-huh.

Okay, most importantly, how much would an open bar cost?

It's chilly in here. Just needs a little massage, that's all.

WOMAN: Please don't do that.

Hey, you give me a little prick, I give you a little prick.

You know what I mean? (CHUCKLES)

Is it possible for you to behave yourself?

Betty Boop. Depends on what I get in return.

How about some general respect?

I don't need that.

I'm a movie star now.

You do realize your character dies,

and is the biggest asshole in the movie?

Yeah, but he's an asshole who gets killed by the main character.

You okay, Boop? You look a little bit harried.

I'm fine. Thank you.

Mr. Russo, could you turn around for me?

What a coincidence.

I was just going to ask you the same thing.

But from this angle, you look pretty good.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(YELPS) What the...

No one has time for your shit, Gianni.

(WINCES IN PAIN)

Feel free to stab him if he opens his mouth again.

(GIANNI GROANS)

She has a thing for me. Trust me. (WINCES)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

Hey, how is he?

Not good.

Can I go see him?

Nah, they're not taking visitors yet, but we'll let you know.

How late they hold you last night?

I got out this morning.

It don't matter. They got nothing.

How are you guys doing?

- Okay. - Shit happens.

LENNY: Yeah, every ten years or so.

So, what happens now?

You know, Al, when you come to a line with us, you don't cross it.

Because once you do, you won't be able to cross back.

Now, I could be wrong,

but I don't think that's the line you want to cross.

Am I right?

Ah. Where's Evans? He's supposed to be here.

I don't know.

Well, we're not waiting. Speak.

We need a little more money

if we're going to shoot that whole sequence in Sicily.

Then don't shoot in Sicily.

If Evans can't be bothered to be here, then maybe I can't be bothered either.

No, Charlie, listen. We have to shoot in Sicily.

It's the only way to achieve the full vision of this film.

Ruddy, where do I work?

Come on. Those big, fat letters behind the receptionist.

- Gulf and Western. - Great, you can read.

So there's no excuse for you coming to me again

when you should be talking to the head of Paramount fucking Pictures.

Am I clear?

Come on, cut the shit.

Something's up with Evans. What's happening there?

I don't know.

Well, you better figure it out.

Or I will.

(BELL RINGS)

Hey, Talia.

What happened? How'd it go?

I'm not sure. The scene was pretty intense.

- Should I go check on her? - No, I'm gonna go.

Hey, have you seen Bob today?

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Talia.

Is everything okay?

Gianni hit me.

He actually fucking hit me in the face.

Oh, my God.

Why didn't you say anything on set?

I didn't want to ruin the shot.

I know it sounds stupid,

but I felt like he actually wanted to hit me.

Like he enjoyed it.

Hey.

I'm gonna say something.

- No, please don't. - Mmm-hmm.

Francis already risked so much to put me in the movie.

I'm fine, really.

RUDDY: He did what?

I want to fire him myself.

What a fucking prick.

Is she okay?

She's pissed, but she didn't want to rock the boat for you.

RUDDY: Does she need a medic?

BETTYE: No, she didn't even want me to say anything.

What the hell are we gonna do?

I've got an idea, and we're gonna keep it in the family.

(SIGHS)

I will handle this. Trust me.

I'm gonna go check on her.

Okay.

Fuck.

We also need to look at the budget ASAP,

see if we can squeeze any more dough for Sicily.

All of the departments are already over-extended.

Wardrobe, design, they're all looking for more money.

I know, and that's why we're going to have to get creative.

- Jimmy Caan in here? - So, I said...

Can you give us a sec? Thanks, buddy.

Ah, Mr. Producer.

- What, you got notes or something? - Yeah.

I'm gonna need a little help on the next scene.

Anything for you, buddy.

We're about to roll. You good?

Can you two switch?

All right.

First positions, you guys.

You guys good?

And we're rolling!

RUDDY: I like that fire hydrant.

Yeah, adds a little authentic texture.

Anything on Sicily?

- I'm working on it. - Hey, go ahead.

And action.

- Come on. - All right.

- Yeah. I like that broom handle. - There he goes.

- (GARBAGE CANS CRASHING) - (PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

- That's a good takedown. - It's not what we rehearsed.

- (PUNCHING AND GRUNTING) - FRANCIS: Those kicks look good.

- Very authentic. - FRANCIS: Yeah.

FRED: Jesus. Looks like Caan is really hitting Gianni.

RUDDY: That's because he is.

- What's he doing now? Yeah. - (PUNCHING AND GRUNTING CONTINUES)

- Looks like he's yanking his foot. - Was his shoe...

(OBJECTS CRASHING AND SLAMMING)

Definitely not what we rehearsed.

Francis, think we got it?

- Give it another minute. - Give it another minute.

- GIANNI: Ow! - Shit.

We're gonna need a medic in here.

- (GIANNI GRUNTING AND GROANING) - I just said give it another minute.

It's a good scene.

Beautiful scene. It's my favorite scene.

- (CHUCKLES) - Take a break.

(GROANS)

That looked pretty painful.

It's called committing to the part.

That's some method shit right there, hand to God.

Hey, can you help me out here, Boop?

My arm.

Attagirl.

Jimmy Caan beat me up. Jimmy fucking Caan.

(LAUGHS)

How cool is that?

Ah! Fuck!

The next time you even think about hitting a woman,

- you remember that feeling. - Fuck!

You fucking bitch.

The accountant laughed when I asked if we had any extra money.

He suggested I sell my future firstborn.

Mmm, then, just to prove his point,

he proceeded to go over all the books with me in great detail,

and that is two hours of my life I will never get back.

He's right. That's what we do.

I'm not saying I want to be a mother, but...

No, not the child, the future.

- You ever play the stock market? - Like with Monopoly money?

Better, a promise.

We get the money because we make a promise for the future.

RUDDY: In the stock market, you can buy futures,

meaning you're betting something's going to be worth more later.

For vendors, production is like that. There's supply and demand.

We, the customers, we demand. Lumber, cameras, lighting.

They, the vendors, they supply.

How do they keep making money? By making sure in the future

we don't use a different supplier.

- Ruddy, great to see you. - Hey.

RUDDY: Production doesn't pay all its bills up front.

And when you're still holding money, there's always a chance to negotiate.

- Appreciate your business. - Thank you. Anytime.

You mean, like a threat?

No, like a guarantee.

We get a discount on the money we owe right now

because we guarantee our business on the next movie.

Next movie?

What, you set one up when I wasn't looking?

Not yet, but they don't know that.

- Thanks, buddy. Been a pleasure. - Appreciate it.

And the total discounts come to...

$26,423.

Look at that.

Al, if you were a broker, you'd be making a lot more money.

Food for thought if this gig doesn't work out.

You got everything booked for the wrap party?

- BETTYE: Mmm-hmm. - Okay, good.

I want to make sure the crew has a nice New York sendoff

before we head to Sicily.

Yes, Your Majesty. I got us a deal with that open bar.

That's my girl.

Are you headed back to the hotel?

Yeah, looking forward to a good night's sleep for once.

- Have you heard from Bob? - No.

Something's going on with him. I got to figure it out.

- Night, Bettye. - Night, Rudd.

(BOTH GRUNTING AND STRUGGLING)

What's going on?

All right.

RUDDY: What's going on?

You know who I am?

I got an idea.

Just for formalities...

I'm Joe Gallo, and I'm in charge of your movie now.

Which means whatever you were giving Colombo, you now give to me.

Well, Mr. Gallo, I wasn't giving Colombo anything.

(SNICKERS)

- Come on. - Honestly, I'm not trying to be

disrespectful or anything, Mr. Gallo,

but truthfully, I never gave Colombo any money or anything.

All I did was I worked a deal with him to eliminate any words from the script

that he felt might be offensive to guys like yourself.

That was it.

(GRUNTS)

Don't fuck with me, Al!

I do not enjoy repeating myself.

(GRUNTS)

I think I make my point.

Right, Al?

Al, say it.

- You made your point. - Good.

But honestly, we're almost done filming. There's no money.

Sounds like not my fucking problem.

Next time I see you, you have my end, right?

- Right? - Right.

All right.

Good night, Al.

Sleep well. You look like shit.

RUDDY: I'm sorry for calling you so late,

but you're really the only person I can talk to.

Same for me.

So, what does this guy, Gallo, want?

Money, from the production.

There is no money.

Except what we have left for Sicily.

Jesus.

I know.

Are we safe?

Honestly, I don't know anymore.

Are you gonna give him the money?

I don't know.

For the first time making this thing, I don't know what the fuck to do.

And the one guy that can help me is in the fucking hospital.

I need to talk to Joe.

You're sure that's a good idea?

Caesar told me that I was coming up to a line

that I probably didn't wanna cross.

But honestly, I think I crossed that line a long time ago.

EVANS: And what the hell happened to you last night?

Huh?

Me? Bob, where the hell have you been?

Where the hell I've been? Where the hell have you been?

I called you. Told you all about it last night.

Screening, Plaza Suite.

You stood me up, son of a bitch.

No, you never told me any of that.

Well, then it's a fucking mystery, huh?

(CLEARS THROAT) How are you doing?

What do you mean?

I mean, you feeling all right?

Movies, movies, more movies, bubbe. Working hard, making magic. (EXCLAIMS)

- (CHUCKLES) - (CLEARS THROAT)

- Yeah. - Gum.

You trying to tell me something?

- I'm just trying to be polite. - I don't trust polite.

Polite people never tell you what they're thinking.

Never.

Call time pushed a little bit.

You got time to go back to the hotel and rest up.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

See you on set.

RUDDY: Bob.

Charlie asked me about you.

Crazy Austrian's obsessed with me.

Buongiorno.

You've been practicing your Italian yet?

Francis, I hate to say this,

but we may need to shoot those Sicily scenes here.

No, everything is new here.

The buildings are new and the sidewalks are new,

- and the trees are new. - Francis, I can't do this right now.

I said that I needed it. You said you'd get it!

I said I can't do this right now!

I'm tired of throwing myself in the fire

every fucking day on this thing.

And if you think you know what that means,

trust me, you don't know the half of it.

(RUDDY SIGHS)

Al...

you know what is necessary to get the job done.

Sicily is a necessity.

We have to see Michael.

We have to see that last chance of happiness go up in flames.

His heart turned to ice and stone.

He has to live in Sicily in order to feel that beauty evaporate,

and we have to live in his skin in order to feel that pain.

And this movie, without Sicily, it doesn't live or breathe.

I need it.

Please, Al, I'm begging you.

If we don't shoot it there,

they're going to cut this whole sequence from the movie.

And for us to get this far...

Please, I just can't give it up.

I can't find the money.

I'm sorry.

I know you're gonna find a way.

(SIGHS)

Hey, Joe. How you doing, buddy?

It's Al.

Can he hear me?

How long is he gonna be like this?

The doctors have no fucking clue. Come here.

There's, um... There's a lot going on right now.

Stuff we shouldn't really be talking about.

But I want you to be careful, all right?

There's this guy, and he's no good.

Joe Gallo?

Yeah, unfortunately, I met him already.

He showed up at my hotel room asking for money from the film.

Okay, listen to me.

Right now, just do whatever Gallo asks.

You can't fuck with this guy, Al. He's crazy.

We don't have any money left.

The only little bit of change I got left is earmarked for Sicily,

- and I can't... - You've got no choice.

Hey, hold on.

Do me a favor.

Will you give this to Bettye for me when you see her around?

What is this?

Just let her know that she can wear it anywhere in the world, except Miami.

Miami is no good. You got it?

I got it.

Is it all right if I sit with him for a little bit?

Yeah.

RUDDY: Why is he giving you a watch?

Because my other one broke.

Thank God I didn't have any immediate plans for Florida. Huh?

(CHUCKLES)

Wow.

How the hell did we get here?

What do you mean?

We started out getting shot at by Mickey Cohen.

And now, I'm getting gifts from gangsters.

It's better than the alternative, trust me.

Fuck Sicily.

Give Gallo the money. It's just a movie.

I have a feeling this money isn't going to be the end of it.

Ever got shot before?

No. I've imagined the bullet, but never been shot.

Have you?

Not yet, but the day is young.

You know what the trick is, Al? The best way to survive it all?

- Tell me. - Don't get shot.

Good advice.

Hey, Brando!

(MEN LAUGHING)

Moon champion, my ass!

(CHUCKLES) Actors.

Excuse me.

- Hey. - Hey.

This is cool, man.

The way they made this look like an old-time street.

It's not bad, right? We got a good production designer...

I don't give a shit. Where's my fucking money?

Look, I'm trying to get you the money. I just need more time.

And I'm not fucking with you. I swear to God. I just...

We're strapped really thin. I can't move it that quick.

You got till midnight.

Okay. After this, we're done though, right?

Hell no, Al. This is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Hey, you know what today is?

It's my birthday.

Yeah, we're gonna be celebrating at Umbertos, right around the corner.

Why don't you come by after work?

Bring the dough.

Maybe I'll let you buy me some baked clams.

See you around, Al. Don't be late.

(SIGHS)

(FRANCIS SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Thank you for your patience.

Good. Take it from this side here, Papa.

Beautiful.

Oh, Francis, do you want me by the door?

Yes. And he gets the fruits and then...

Jump out of the car with the gun, but then...

- After. - Drop it. Right.

- After. - Okay. Yeah.

- Okay. - Start rolling.

And action!

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

Look at this, the whole thing and everything.

(WHEEZING)

Joe Colombo says goodbye, fuckhead. (SPITS)

FRANCIS: And cut! Yes!

- (FRANCIS WHOOPING) - (ALL APPLAUDING)

Bravo.

Magnificent.

Bravo.

(CROWD CLAMORING)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

FRANCIS: Five years, tops,

and Napa Valley will be competing with the finest wines in France.

It's got legs. American Cabernet is so underappreciated.

- Can I have a Scotch, please? - Ooh, leather.

Currants. (SNIFFS) Little bit of cinnamon. Smell that.

Okay. Yeah. Hey, make it a double.

Suit yourself.

So, we going to Sicily?

Well, I'm waiting on Ruddy to see how it's gonna work out.

- Salute. - Salute.

Oh, no. Okay. Okay, Dean. Yeah.

Excuse me. Can I get a Bacardi 151, please?

- Thank you. - Well, that's a serious drink.

Are you a serious woman?

I just like to cut to the chase.

Hmm, I see. What are you chasing?

A big, fat buzz.

You care to join me?

- You got Disaronno? - BARTENDER: Yes, sir. We do.

Equal parts Disaronno and Scotch on ice.

- Coming right up. - What do you call that?

A delivery system.

You know one of my favorite things about this movie has been?

Watching you.

There's nothing dishonest in anything you did.

You just live it moment to moment.

I couldn't see the acting, just the truth.

You have a real understanding of the craft.

You know, Michelangelo was once asked,

"How do you sculpt such beauty out of stone?"

You know what he said?

He said, "I don't sculpt anything.

"I just see the truth within the stone and chip everything else away."

Wow.

CHARLIE: Hey, Marlon! Marlon!

I think you have a fan waiting for you.

And I think you have a fan of your own.

Charlie. Charlie, you were my brother. You were supposed to look out for me.

What? What the fuck's happened now?

- How much have you drank? - Have one of these.

EVANS: I see you. There she is, my baby girl.

Am I gonna get to have a dance

- with Mr. Evans? - That's my baby girl.

All right, yes, you do. You look amazing.

- Thank you. (LAUGHS) - You look like a million bucks.

God damn.

- (ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING) - (PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

Hey, Mr. Ruddy, good to see you.

Whiskey, four fingers.

(FRANCIS VOCALIZES)

What happened?

Sorry, Francis. I can't make it happen.

I tried.

Jesus, fuck. Who killed his puppy, huh?

(LAUGHS)

- He's disappointed about Sicily. - Yeah.

Maybe if you showed up to the meeting with Charlie,

or maybe if you'd showed up to fucking anything lately,

- things would be different. - Hey, don't put this on me, pal.

I told you to find the money in the budget.

You're the one who fucked up here.

Let's not do this now.

There's no time like the present, bud. You gonna hand in an unfinished movie?

Yeah? Great. Great.

Let's talk outside.

- Why? - Because I need some fresh air.

I'm not going anywhere.

Listen, I don't know what's going on with you, or you and Ali,

or whatever happened in Texas...

My marriage is none of your fucking business!

Ever since then, you haven't been the Bob Evans I know.

Because the Bob Evans I know

wouldn't let his personal life compromise this fucking movie!

You don't know me! You don't know me!

I know you're drinking too much and doing blow.

- What the fuck? - I'm not the only person to notice.

What are you? You're my mother now?

Jesus.

Easy, Bob. People are looking at you.

Let 'em! Let 'em fucking look!

(CROWD GROWS SILENT)

People watch me, bubbe. Always have, always will.

You know why?

Because I'm Bob Evans. I'm the best there is. Yeah!

So you can keep your fucking stick of gum

and your shoulder to cry on, your sympathy. I don't need it.

I've forgotten more about making movies than you'll ever know.

They're looking... They're looking because they know

I know the secret.

They look because I shine like gold.

They're looking at you now because you're a joke.

- Fuck you. - (GLASS SHATTERS)

- Hey! - (PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

- (MUSIC SLOWS) - (EXHALES)

(HEART BEATING RAPIDLY)

- (OBJECTS CLATTERING) - Oh, no!

EVANS: Get the fuck out of my way.

Jesus! Fuck!

Have a drink.

(ROCK MUSIC RESUMES PLAYING)

Mr. Ivy League.

Hello. What are you drinking?

- Club soda. - Oh.

You realize this is a bar, right? It's not a business meeting.

You can order a harder drink,

try using words with less than two syllables.

Hmm?

Bettye.

Shit.

- Hey, you got a light? - I don't smoke.

Of course you don't. (CHUCKLES)

What kind of a name is that anyway?

- LaPenis? LaPenis! - Oh, boy.

(LAUGHS)

- It's pronounced "Lapidus." - LaPenis.

- And its roots are in Latin. - LaPenis.

- It means stone. - You're stoned?

No, Lapidus means stone, like a rock.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I like LaPenis better for you.

- Okay, let's go. - Better.

- I don't think she likes me very much. - Nobody does.

Cheers.

Al, Al, Al.

Hey.

You look sad.

I'm gonna give Gallo the money for Sicily.

- No other option. - You're doing the right thing.

Am I?

You're doing the right thing.

Hey, do me a favor.

Leave Lapidus alone.

I was just gonna look for the bathroom.

I was going to pee, if that's allowed.

Bathroom's that way.

Okay.

LaPenis, come on. That was really good.

- Very funny. - Yeah.

You start drinking without me?

Caesar.

You're not gonna cry on me, are you?

I am so sorry about your boss.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for the beautiful watch.

I really appreciate the gesture.

I just can't accept it.

I know.

- Uh, you seen Ruddy? - Yeah, he's by the bar.

All right, I gotta take care of something.

Me, too. (CHUCKLES)

Why the long face?

I just got a lot on my mind.

How's Joe doing? Anything new?

No. You can cross one thing off your list.

You don't have to worry about that fucking psychopath anymore.

Francis.

Yeah.

We are going to Sicily?

We're going to Sicily, baby. We're going.

(LAUGHING) Hey! You son of a bitch!

Are you kidding? I knew you could do it.

Everybody! Everybody!

Can I have your attention, please?

We're going to Sicily!

- (ALL CHEERING) - What?
