Do we have to have this noise on?

That's the Chiffons, Dad.

Whatever happened to the Jerry Vale tape

I bought you for Christmas?

Are you kidding? I'm meeting you for lunch, right?

Well, put it on. Kid, I never understand you.

Either it's got to be a 900-year-old Kraut

or five niggers with squeaky voices.

Now, that Jerry Vale could be singing "La Scala."

Are you going to tell me that ain't beautiful music?

Why don't you stop smoking, Dad?

I'll stop smoking when you stop fucking.

You want a suit like this? I'll have one made for you.

No, thanks. Yellow just doesn't look...

What are you talking about, yellow?

The guy sold it to me for cream.

Cream--ooh.

What's the matter? You got the crabs?

No. I don't know what... My dick's been hurting me.

Of course your dick keeps hurting. It's a conspiracy.

What?

Women. They bust your balls.

The day a woman loses her virginity, she's a whore.

They're all whores, every one of them,

except this girl, Anita.

What Anita?

This girl I'm thinking of marrying.

Marrying?

Anita O'Hallaran. O'Hallahan.

Anita what?

O'Hallaran. O-- It's Irish.

But she's a goddess.

She's got a body that won't stop--

big blue eyes, beautiful red hair, tits like balloons.

You wouldn't believe it.

Why do you have to marry her?

I ain't old enough to get married?

You wouldn't mind? If you did, I wouldn't do it.

Do whatever's going to make you happy.

No, if you did mind, I wouldn't do it.

Do whatever's going to make you happy.

That's good.

Stick to that philosophy and you'll never go wrong.

Jimmy, how's your time for the next few days?

Um, uh... I don't know, I have my--

A couple of hours, that's all I need.

Uh, for what?

I got two collections I want you to make for me.

This guy, Luchino,

he runs a pizza joint on Bleeker Street.

He's into me for $4000 for three months,

and he keeps crying he's tapped out,

and that's bullshit.

The motherfucker, he bought a house in Long Beach--

What are you looking around?

Your eyes keep jumping around like a seagull, for chrissake.

Ben, I hate to bother you, but--

Sammy, you'd find me

in the middle of the Sahara desert.

How much do you want?

I need $500 till Wednesday.

I'll give you three.

I promise you, I swear, you'll get it on time.

Take the five,

but don't be late in paying me this time, understand?

Absolutely. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Say hello to Helen and the kids for me, will ya?

Now, look, this other guy could be more of a problem--

Patsy Riccamonza from Detroit.

He's a dealer, messes with a lot of colored operations,

gambling, little narcotics.

So I have this Riccamonza checked out.

Now, the people in Detroit, they tell me he's legit.

So I let him play some nice figures on credit.

How nice?

Twenty-two thousand.

You let him play $22,000 on credit?

I told you, I had the guy checked out.

So I go over to this Excelsior health club

where he hangs out,

and one of these two guys he's got with him

pulls a pistol on me and sticks it in my ear, and he says,

"Don't come back. The man doesn't want to be bothered."

Can you believe it?

He sticks a pistol in my ear.

The next day, I run into this midget dwarf, Flash.

He tells me that Riccamonza's going...

Riccamonza, that motherless, rat-faced scumbag he is,

he's going around town telling everybody he's stiffing me,

and if I make any problem, he's going to have me popped.

He's going to have me popped. Now, there's his ticket.

He likes playing favorites, I see.

I don't give a fuck what he likes.

He don't pay when he loses.

You keep it. Keep it.

Someone must have told him

you don't have too many people working for you.

What "too many people," Jimmy?

I got nobody. I got you.

All right, forget about it, huh?

Just forget it.

I'll bust his head myself with a crowbar.

Just forget about it.

How's that music thing going?

Good.

What the hell is the matter? You're so fidgety.

Nothing. I'm just...

I'm thinking about something.

You remember that impresario, Arthur Fox,

that used to promote Mom's concert tours?

Thin guy?

I have an audition with him Friday.

Gee, that's terrific. Tell your mother about it?

Yeah, she knows.

You're going to be big. No question about it.

Dad, most guys who are going to be concert pianists

are performing by the time they're 10.

Believe me, it's like anything else in life.

If you know you can do it, you'll do it.

It's just like lending.

Hey, hi, baby.

What did I tell you? Isn't she gorgeous?

Say hello to my son, Jimmy.

Jimmy, this is Anita O'Hallaran.

O'Hallahan. Hi.

Let me get you a rocker, baby.

Well, guess what?

What, what, what happened?

I got the job.

Gee, great. That's terrific.

Carmine! Bring me another bottle.

What job?

Angel magazine is making me

their queen for the month of April.

Oh, yeah?

Your father tells me you used to be

the best collector in New York.

Ben, you're wanted on the telephone.

I'll be right back, huh? You hold the fort.

Say something nice about me while I'm gone.

Be right back.

He's a sweet old man.

He's 57.

How old are you?

32.

And I'm 19, so to us, he's an old man.

You have pretty eyes.

Hey, no matter what this kid said about me,

believe me, it's not true.

[ CRASH ]

Not a drop... there's not a drop, honey.

Oh, my God.

Look who's here. Excuse me.

So, Jimmy, huh, what do you think?

What do you think?

You're going to marry her, not me.

I know, but what do you think?

What do I think? I think she's a lowlife.

What's the matter?

Just because she poses for some nude magazines?

Everybody does that nowadays.

I didn't do it. I just, uh...

You would have done it.

you have every goddamned cent of that $22,000

and a voice said to go to the Excelsior club

and look for a girl on the phone near the ladies' room.

She'll be the girl of your dreams.

She's 5 feet 5, has dark hair, blue eyes,

she's wearing a dusty rose bikini,

and her name is...Julie.

How do you know that?

there's only one kind I can feel in my blood on sight,

and that's silk, which is yours.

but we got a message.

Patsy didn't care for your tone of voice on the telephone,

and he says he don't want you bothering him again.

Maybe if I shot one of you two douche bags

in the kneecap, he would reconsider?

What are you going to shoot us with? Your radio?

You're a Levite? So am I. We're brothers.

What kind of a Levite has a name like Angellelli?

My mother's maiden name is Levine.

Yeah? My mother's maiden name is DeLucci.

You're kidding me. Really?

DeLucci, Angellelli, Levy, Levine--

We're brothers. We're twins.

Look, I wear a chai on my St. Christopher's medal.

But that ain't no excuse for this kind of stuff.

Oh, forget about that. It's nothing.

You shouldn't be wasting your time

on this law enforcement nonsense.

You're a sensitive guy. Look at your eyes.

You should be out on the street

listening to Shastakovich and Gesualdo and the Drifters.

It will keep you sane, Morris, believe me.

Yeah, but I'm not worried about my sanity. Let's go.

You're lucky. You're not going to arrest me.

You're in possession of illegal gambling--

You can't do this. I have my audition tomorrow.

What audition?

For a recital at Carnegie Hall.

What recital? What are you talking about?

I'm a pianist. It's with Arthur Fox.

This guy is the biggest impresario in New York.

Today is the day before

the most important day in my life.

What were you doing collecting this gambling shit for?

I don't know. It's just not that easy.

It's just...

It's not that easy to explain.

I swear to God, I'll never do it again.

Come on, Morris, give me a break.

The fucking Arabs are looking to bury us.

The French are looking to bury us.

Every-fucking-body is looking to bury us.

We've got to take care of each other.

I know you're not going to do this to me.

There's three guys walking through the desert, see?

An Italian, an Irishman, and a Polack.

The Italian's got a hunk of Gorgonzola cheese,

the mick's got a can of beer,

and the Polack's carrying a car door under his arm,

so they run into this Arab in the middle of the desert.

Why don't you shut your ass and go to sleep?

Who's talking to you, asshole?

I'm talking to you, sucker.

All you're doing is sitting around in your dry piss.

Whose dry piss?

I don't see anybody else here.

What about me? You don't see me?

You a human being? You're a fucking animal.

Maybe I'll kick your white wop ass, you see me, huh?

You couldn't kick my sister's ass,

and she's in a fucking wheelchair in Daytona.

You got a sister in Daytona?

What about it? You want to make something of it?

No, I got a sister in Daytona too.

Yeah? No shit.

You bet your Jew ass I do.

I ain't a Jew.

Why do you keep calling me a Jew, motherfucker?

Listen, instead of you guys talking all this philosophy,

why don't you let me sing, uh...

the Bach...the fugue from the Bach E minor Toccata?

Who's your buddy?

Jimmy.

Why is he looking at me like he knows me?

I saw you fight Franky Delcenzo when I was 10.

I remember I used to come

just to see him with his shirt off.

You ever notice that?

I wouldn't know about that, dude.

A lot of guys came too.

You used to lay back, you see, just like that,

and when the guy moved in on him to put him away...

forget about it.

I like your combination.

Yeah? Well, I like your girlfriend.

She must like you too, dude.

She only likes me. She loves you--

Shut up.

Who you smiling at, my man?

Carol, you.

You invite him down here?

Uh-uh.

Then why is he here?

I don't know.

Tell you what, dude. You're down here, right?

So you must like to party, right?

See, there ain't nobody come into my club

that don't likes to party.

I'm going to do a thing for you.

I got a sweet little girl up at the Pierre Hotel.

I mean, she's smart and she's fine.

She's got a tight little sweet ass.

A motherfucker, a freak.

I mean, like everybody is a freak, right?

But she's a real freak. She enjoys her shit.

I ain't even touched her myself.

See, I met her last night at a dance,

but she did a thing on me with her eyes...I just knew.

I mean, I could tell. You understand that? Huh?

See, you're the motherfucker that she'd really like.

Know how I know?

I mean, the cat she was with, her boyfriend,

I mean, he looked just like you, but he wasn't as cute as you.

Can you dig it, huh?

Anyway, she's alone this morning,

so why don't you come on and go up with Carol and me.

I mean, if you want to.

Are you going?

Excuse me, Dreems, Butch is here to see you.

What you going to do, dude?

Hi, baby. How you doing?

All right.

Now, you didn't expect me to come

without no surprises, did you?

I don't know. I was hoping you'd come alone.

Hey, we are alone.

Whenever we're together, baby, we're alone.

I'd like you to meet a friend of mine.

My best friend in the world.

This is Carol. This is Christa.

Hi, Carol.

Hi, Christa.

Isn't she beautiful, baby?

Yeah, she is.

Yeah, she is. She's from Minnesota.

She rides horses and she owns a boutique.

Did you make that dress? It's very pretty.

Thank you.

And this is my main man, Jimmy.

Hi, Jimmy.

What do you say, duke?

Have you ever seen two finer ladies in one room before?

Loosen up, my man. We're going to party.

Hey, baby, why don't you go and bring him over? Hmm?

I mean, like, he's your friend, right?

I mean, you brought him to my club.

She seems upset.

Don't worry about it.

She's all right. How 'bout you?

You see, 'cause,

I ain't going to do nothing with you or to you.

It's not for you, baby.

Come on, baby. Kiss her.

Just touch her, now, gently.

Hey, she doesn't want to, Dreems.

You all right?

I'm okay.

Don't you ever cross me.

We'd better get out of here, Dreems.

Where the hell have you been?

How are you, Pop?

I've been running around

like a rat in a crazy box looking for you.

I was--I was out.

Let me ask you a question.

What?

Ever since you were a kid, did I ever break my word to you?

No.

Then you can't blame me

if I expect the same thing from you, can you?

I've been trying, Dad. This guy isn't easy.

Forget about easy, will you?

For chrissakes, if it was easy,

I could have hired some asshole!

I've called him, I've...

Get rid of him!

I can't do that. I never...

"Never"? Forget "never." This is now.

Dad, I...

Listen, you. You look in my eyes.

Look in my eyes!

This isn't going to get your money back, Dad.

Don't you talk down to me, Jimmy!

You know goddamn well this has nothing to do with money!

I can't.

What are you looking to do? Stick your prick up my ass?

Will you stop? What are you talking that way for?

That's what you're doing! That's what you're doing!

Stop that, Dad, will you, please?

Jimmy!

You've got to do this thing for me. Now, I need you.

I can't.

Can't?

Not now.

"Not now"? I should have strangled you in your crib.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

Hey, man, what the fuck you want?

Her.

Oh, man, you don't even understand her ass.

I want you to come with me, Carol.

I want you to stay with me now.

If you don't,

I'm never going to be able to want you again.

Well, give me a fucking answer!

See how you are? See what you do? Huh?

See what you do? You shouldn't do that shit.
