May I help you?

A friend of ours would like to speak to you this evening.

I just shine shoes.

There'll be shoes there.

People like that. You know who I mean.

Two weeks ago, a man named Aaronberg was shot to death,

the corner of Racine and Belden.

This is public knowledge.

Two people saw the crime, and this was also in the papers.

This is public knowledge.

What I am going to tell you now is not public knowledge.

Do you understand?

Good.

The act was committed by a person unknown.

"A man in a grey overcoat."

Unfortunately, a friend of ours

has been mistakenly identified

as the man who did the murder.

Show him the picture.

This is the man who has been mistakenly accused.

Do you understand?

To prevent a grave injustice from being done,

to protect an innocent man,

someone must confess to the crime.

Someone who looks like...

This person would plead guilty to murder,

and would unfortunately spend a term

of three to five years in prison.

To such a person, we are prepared to pay...

this amount of money per year,

for each year he spent in prison.

You could say you were in prison now.

You must have a dream.

Do you have a dream?

What is that dream?

A boat.

A boat?

A fishing boat.

Your dream is a fishing boat.

In Sicily.

In three years, you could have that fishing boat.

You could earn yourself that boat.

If you stay in your shoe store,

what will you have in three years?

What do you have in three years?

What do you have now?

Will you do it for me?

No?

You've just made a grave mistake.

All right.

Shine 'em uppa, Joe.

All right, get me Marty in Detroit.

Tell him I want to see him as soon as possible.

And get me what's-his-name downtown.

- Yes, sir. - Watch out for the socks.

These are cashmere socks.

Yes.

Mr Silver, get me downtown,

and tell 'em I need a guy for that project which

we were discussing.

- He'll know what I mean. - Yes, sir.

Come on, come on, boy.

We wanna get you back to your shoeshine stand.

Yes, this is Mr Silver in Chicago.

That's right.

No, I have the number on his boat,

but I'm informed that I can find him here.

I'll hold.

A man comes into my house. What does he want?

I tell him, "Whatever you want." A fellow's dying.

Fifty bucks a week. Says, "Buy me a boat."

Fine. I'll buy him a pushcart.

I'll buy him an organ with a monkey,

and he can put a bandana on his head.

Son of a bitch immigrant said he wanted a boat.

I'll give him a boat.

I do it!

Just a minute.

It won't be necessary.

Thank you.

This is a Sicilian coin.

- The Sicilian people say... - Mr Green?

- "A big man..." - Excuse me.

"A big man knows the value of a small coin."

My friendship is a small coin,

but it is all I have to offer you.

Thank you.

The papers, please.

Sign here.

This is your confession.

Good. And now...

We need your fingerprints.

Pick up the gun and close it.

To my new friend.

I should hope so. We put a lot of money in there.

- Bellenza. - Yeah.

- You done good on that thing. - Hey, thanks, Frank.

- Marcotti. - Yo.

- What, are you gettin' ambition? - Just doin' a job, Frank.

- Willie. - Thanks, Frank.

- Guys. - Thank you.

Jerry, we got a... What is this?

Jerry something-or-other works here?

I thought we sent him down to the farm team.

- Yeah, why was that, Frank? - Seems he can't follow orders.

Can't follow orders? What, is the guy a team player or what?

No, it would seem not.

- That's a shame, Frank. - Yes, I agree.

No pain, no pals, no prospects.

What kinda guy is that, huh?

A word to the wise is sufficient.

What's happening on the south side?

And lead off with the shipping thing.

Here are the figures on the shipping.

Love to hear from you, too, Jerry.

Maybe when you get off probation.

Do you think you can get this clean?

What does a guy get who can't toe the line?

- Probation. - Right.

Frankie.

I've got a little errand for you.

I want you to pick the right guy for this,

and take care of it for me.

Hey, Cinderella.

Come here.

Come here. Who'd you get me on the errand business?

Jerry's gonna handle it.

- He's a very good man. - What'd you tell him?

I told him to stick with this guy like glue for the whole weekend.

- He won't let him out of his sight. - Don't screw this up.

He's good. He'll handle it.

Mr Green.

All right, listen and learn something.

Now, you do this one right...

I'm doin' it right. I'm gettin' off probation.

Just do this, and then we'll see.

Why did you kill him?

He was a no-good son of a bitch.

And?

He...

You owed him money.

Yeah, yeah.

I owe him some money.

How much did you owe him?

Fifteen hundred dollars.

That's right. What'd you do with the money?

I lose it at the race track.

What time was it you killed him? Hold it. You know that one.

How many times did you shoot him?

Three time.

Yeah, don't get it too pat. Three or four.

I shoot him three or four times.

Son of a bitch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're a natural.

You got the thing cold.

We no gonna do no more?

Nah, you know it.

You know it.

Hey, this is ridiculous.

You're goin' to jail for three years.

What? What do you wanna do?

We'll do something, huh?

What?

Whaddaya...

Wanna get a couple of broads?

- Do what? You wanna see a show? - No.

Hey, I'll get you tickets to somethin'.

They tell me I should no leave this...

They?

There is no "they".

I am "they".

What do you wanna do?

Can we...

Can we take a walk down by the beach?

It'd be okay?

Okay?

Okay?

I'll show you what's okay.

I'll show you what's okay.

Have a nice day.

Thank you. Take care, now.

Thank you.

Vegas Air, Flight 271...

- You like to travel? - Sure.

- Okay, good. - I like.

Good.

Glad to hear it. Here to make ya happy.

Anything to please. That's me.

Two days, you understand?

A little fun, a little memory, then back to Chicago.

Back to Chicago. I shoot the son of a bitch in the heart.

And when I say it out here, do it.

- You the boss. - I am the boss.

You keep that clear, we're gonna get on fine.

Jerry!

Vegas Air announces the arrival of Flight 16

from New York at Gate 8- Flight 16 at Gate 8.

Hey, how ya doin'? What are you doin' here?

Hey, how are you?

I'm doin' fine. How should I be doin'?

You know, heard you mucked up back there last month.

- What does that mean? - Heard they slapped your wrists.

- What wrists? - Heard you had to stay after school,

couldn't obey orders.

"Stay after school"?

"Stay after school." Are you joking me?

Does this look like staying after school?

Who is he?

If you don't know, then maybe you shouldn't know.

Um, are you staying at the hotel?

Ah, yeah, we're staying at the hotel.

Someone picking you up?

I think they're sending somebody down to, er...

- Get in the car. - Er...

- No, get in the car. - Er...

Vegas Air Flight 271

to Sacramento and San Francisco

now leaving at Gate Three-

Hey, you know, I heard you got in some deep powder back there.

I heard they put you on probation.

Well, you can't believe everything you hear.

Sometimes they put out a story.

- You know? - Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

And so, you're... What? So, you're...

What I am is what you see.

And so your guy, he's big back there.

Babe, this is the guy behind the guy,

behind the guy.

But what I gotta tell you is,

- I cannot talk about it. - I understand.

He wants to come out here, a quiet weekend.

- I understand. - Bit of this, bit of that. No fuss.

- Billy, thanks, pal. - Walk you in.

Thanks, pal. I'll take it from here on in.

No problem. No problem.

Hey.

Right this way.

I'm trying to keep a low profile here, you understand?

We like to go in quiet.

Could we get some attention here?

May I help you?

Er... yes, I'll have to get right back to you. Thank you.

Good morning, gentlemen. How good to have you with us.

Shall we go right up to the room?

We're going upstairs.

We'll be going to the Criterion floor.

Welcome to the Galaxy, gentlemen.

Call the top floor. Tell them our guests are coming.

Yes, sir.

Anything you might need in Lake Tahoe, sir,

I'd be honoured if you'd ask for me. Billy Drake.

- Who is he? - From Chicago.

Yes, sir.

I understand.

Absolutely.

I understand. Yes, sir.

I understand completely.

Ah. Here they are now.

Hi.

Welcome to the Criterion floor, Mr, er...

Johnson.

Look, it's a good idea... It's very important...

that nobody know that Mr Johnson is here.

I understand. I'm your butler. My name is Randy.

And I'll be at your disposal 24 hours a day.

See to the bedrooms, if you would.

And turn on the music, please.

Any help you need with

travel arrangements, special dietary preparation,

cleaning, mending, shoeshine, shopping,

or any other aid that you require, don't hesitate to ring.

The manager has informed me that all of the staff have been advised

that any wish expressed by you or Mr Johnson...

No, no, no. Nobody is to know that Mr Johnson is here.

Believe me, believe me, I understand. Your privacy will be respected.

- I'll be right back. - We're here for two days' quiet.

A little low-profile relaxation.

I completely understand.

We at the Galaxy understand and appreciate your position, believe me.

The Criterion floor, in concept and execution,

exists only to cater to your special needs.

The entertainment system gives you access to a library

of over 1,000 films, records and tapes.

...secretarial or legal services.

I am a notary, should you require it.

Where are the bags? Where are the bags?

We, er... lost our bags on a connection. Look...

Our stores and shops are yours. Whatever you require,

go down or ring, and they'll have it sent up.

- That's very kind of you, but... - Credit in the casino,

whatever you require in financial services.

We have a 24-hour access to a ticker tape of the major markets.

Allow me.

We are prohibited from offering in-the-room gaming,

but if you will notify me, I can arrange a private area for you

in our members' room on very short notice.

Tickets for the show, Jackie Shore,

tonight in the Constellation Room,

or tickets for any other show in town.

The sights and sounds of Lake Tahoe.

And here is my card.

I'm at that number, or they'll beep me there at any time.

Any time at all.

Oh, Mr Johnson, any questions about the room?

No.

I believe we have anticipated your tobacco requirements.

But, if there's anything we've left out,

don't hesitate to let me know.

You'll see a full-stocked kitchen.

If you or your chef gives us your requirements,

we'll be pleased to shop for you.

I believe the other features are self-explanatory.

We strive to provide the ultimate in privacy and comfort.

If there is any area in which we fall short,

please just inform us.

It is a pleasure and an honour having you as a guest

of the Galaxy and of the Criterion floor.

My name is Randy, and whatever I can do

to make your stay more enjoyable,

it will be my honour and pleasure to serve you.

The concierge desk and our kitchen are at your disposal,

and should you wish to shop, our shops and stores

are open to you on a private basis 24 hours a day.

And whatever services you should desire,

there is, of course, no bill.

Your money's no good in this hotel.

Mr Johnson,

you have beautiful hands.

Yes, and a lovely treatment of the hands,

if I may say so, sir. An excellent choice.

Clean, without being austere.

Mr Johnson, it's been a pleasure.

It's always a pleasure to clothe a man of your physique.

You honour us, sir, with your custom.

Telephone call for Mr Dowd.

Telephone call for Mr Dowd-

Yes, yes, yes. Okay, wanna pass, huh?

Clothes don't make the man. I make the man.

You understand me? Just because we got new clothes.

- Something to drink, gentlemen? - Scotch, please.

Nothing for me. I'm here to gamble.

Place your bets. Place your bets.

Here we go.

Blackjack. And here we go.

Give me five on the 9, five on the 19,

and five for you, dealer.

Round and round she goes.

No more bets. Where she stops, nobody knows.

Good luck. And the number is...

Gotta put money in it.

We're now taking reservations for both shows...

- Hey! - I'll be with you gentlemen in a moment.

Give me twenty dollars, so we can have two wonderful days.

- I understand. - We aren't gonna go crazy.

Two days, we go back to Chicago.

- Well, that's absolutely right. - Ten o'clock, Monday morning,

28th district.

I wear the grey overcoat.

I see the son of a bitch. Hit three shots in the heart.

So, how do you feel? Tight, but aggressive?

- Okay. - Good.

- May I help you, gentlemen? - Yeah, give me twenty dollars.

- Everything all right, gentlemen? - No, we just, er...

Whatever credit these gentlemen require, there's no limit.

And I mean no limit.

Twenty dollars.

Yeah. No, no. I think...

I'm makin' a joke here. Just give me a thousand.

Gimme a thousand bucks. Er... tab it.

Would you like a table for the late show?

Jackie Shore, Constellation Room.

- In the back. - One thousand dollars.

Mr Schiff, may I have a moment, please?

Excuse me.

If you got the name, go get the game.

- Let's gamble. - Okay.

No, hey, this is for show.

Play what you got in your pockets.

And if there's anything at all that I can do for you...

- Thanks. - I tell you, Jerry,

I never win nothing.

- Well, maybe we can fix that. - Oh, Jerry!

Not even you can fix something like this.

- Not even me, huh? - Not even you.

Not even someone like me? Hey, put it in.

Put it in!

Hey, wait a second.

There is something you could do for me.

I'd like to give Mr Johnson a little treat.

- Absolutely, sir. - Can we... Could we arrange for him,

as a lark, to win a little? You know...

- To win? - Just a little.

- To win at the casino? - Just a little.

Just fifty, a hundred dollars. As a thrill, you know.

Can you do that?

- Well... - And whatever it is, I'll make it up.

- You're saying that you'll pay it back? - That's what I'm ea yin'.

- Broke so soon? - Eh!

Hey, the slots are cold. Let's try something else.

Twelve.

Twelve.

This table open?

Yes, sir, it is.

Okay, you got black, you got red, you got numbers.

- Whaddaya wanna bet? - I take black.

Take a number.

- Pick a number. Take a number. - Okay.

You pick a number, it hits, pays 35 to 1.

Put five bucks on a number.

- We're partners. - No, it's yours.

Ye... No. We're partners.

Whatever happen, we 50-50, okay?

- Yeah, okay. - Okay. I...

You know what? You know what number I always play?

- Mmm. - My flight number.

What flight did we come in on?

- Er... - 12, wasn't it?

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I think you're right.

I think that it was number 12.

- Hey, Miles, I gotta talk to you. - Not now, Jackie.

12! The number is 12.

- I win. - Yes, sir.

You see what my friend did?

Bravo, Mr Johnson. Good play.

We gotta lose the lighting guy. He's napping on me up there.

I'm not saying it's hurting the show. It's not hurting the show.

Have you seen the show?

- Have you seen the show, Mr... - And here's your winnings, sir.

- Have you seen the show? - No, I can't say that I have.

Whaddaya mean, you haven't seen the show?

How long have you been here?

Place your bets.

$1,000 on number 12.

Okay, look, there's a bit I do. I'm workin' the crowd.

- This is not the time, Jackie... - I wanna make a point here.

You got a beautiful show, a fine show, well thought-out,

but if you don't have the support...

This is my theme in what I'm telling you: support.

- 12 again. - I win again!

Yes, sir, you did.

How much we win?

How much we win?

$35,000.

We fly number 12, we play number 12.

- Heh. That's a lot of money. - Yeah.

What, um...

- What number you wanna play now? - No, no!

That's enough!

Come on, I buy you a car.

Sir...

Yeah. Hold on a second.

What's happening?

That fella just won himself a coupla bucks.

- Gino... - Hey, what we do with this money, huh?

Gino, we gotta give it back.

- Why? I win this. - Yeah, but...

- I win this money. - Yeah, but listen. Listen.

It's... It's... It's a thing of hospitality.

We're, um... We're guests in their hotel.

We... Sure, we could take the money. It's not a question of the money.

It's just for the sake of, um...

honour.

To be an honourable guest.

Is no the money.

Is... honour.

Could you move back, please?

- What happened? - That guy just won 35 grand.

Excuse me, sir. I have to talk to you.

Yeah, in a minute.

I have to talk to you.

- How this game work? - Well, we pay 100 to 1.

What that means is, if you bet a dollar, and your number wins,

you win one hundred dollars.

How much I can bet?

Just as advertised, sir. The Wheel of Fortune,

the pride of the Galaxy, never refused a bet of any size.

If I bet $35,000, how much I win?

If you bet $35,000,

you'd win $3,500,000.

I bet $35,000.

Put on number 12.

$35,000 on number 12.

Do me a favour, will ya, honey? Put a thousand on number 12.

A hundred on 1, a hundred on 2,

five hundred on 12, and a hundred on 21.

- Lord hates a coward. - Make a bet for me.

- Honey, put five hundred on 12. - Put twenty on 12.

- Lend me fifty dollars, will ya? - Another fifty.

All right. Thank you, and bets are closed.

One dollar on 12.

All right. Thank you, and bets are closed.

And... round and round she goes.

Where she stops, nobody knows. Good luck to you all.

- Please, please... - Come on, baby. Come home to papa.

Come on, baby.

- Yes. - One time, baby. This is it.

Come to papa, baby. Come on.

Here we come. Okay. We can do it, baby.

And the number is...

74.

The number is 74. I'm sorry.

The number is 74. No winners on 74.

No winners. No winners on 74.

Hell of a bet, son.

I'm sorry you lost all that money, sir.

Things change.

Your drink, sir.

- Thank you. - Coming out.

Seven... three... six-

I'll tell you what's crazy, folks.

I find that the longer I'm married,

the more I'm losing my single instincts.

I was at a party in Hollywood last month.

Big show business party.

Beautiful blonde starlet comes up to me.

She says, "My husband's away for the weekend, how about a lift home?"

I said, "If you knew he was gonna be away",

"you should've made travel arrangements."

You see, I have a theory criminals wanna get caught.

The reporter says, "18 of the 20 suspects arrested"

"are known to have organised crime ties."

If they don't wanna get caught, don't wear the ties.

You see what I'm ea yin'?

Hey, folks, this has been a great year for Jackie Shore.

I'm proud to say that, three months ago, I became a dad.

Thank you very much.

How's your drink?

Good. Good.

To witness the birth of your child.

I'd read about it. I could see pictures...

Well, you handled yourself very graciously back there.

When you in Rome, you do like the Romans do.

When I get home, she gets the house and the kid.

I'll tell you what I saw.

I saw a guy today down at the tables.

Shoots 35 grand, one roll, he craps out,

he says, "Things change."

And one thing that does not change, ladies and gentlemen, is friendship.

And I wanna say hi to a friend of ours,

a good friend of ours from Chicago, Mr Johnson.

Will you please stand up, Mr Johnson?

Ladies and gentlemen, could you let him know, please?

Mr Johnson. Mr Johnson?

Come on, folks, give it up. Give it up! Mr Johnson.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Johnson from Chicago.

Give it up one time for Mr Johnson.

Folks, take it from a man who knows.

There is nothing like friendship.

'Cause if there was, somebody would have invented it already.

- Have you got a minute? - One minute to curtain.

- Hey, have you got a minute? - Okay, stay with me.

-Stop me if you've got a problem- -I'm getting this again.

- Why am I getting this again? - Mr Shore...

I walked out of my light. What is your guy doing up there?

I can't talk to you about this right now.

Your lighting guy.

- What is this, your wife's cousin? - Jackie...

Oh, now it's Jackie. Great.

What, did I do something to you in a previous life?

- What is this? What did I ever do to you? - Jack...

- Hey! - Mr Johnson.

- Mr Johnson, what a nice surprise. - Yeah, very surprising.

Hope you guys enjoyed the show.

And good of you to play along. Really very supportive, and I...

I appreciate that. And you looked great.

I thought I told you I didn't want any publicity.

- We don't want any notice. - Thirty seconds to curtain, please.

Hey, guys, look, if I jumped wrong, if you don't want any notice...

Yeah, bear with me here. On stage, please.

Maybe a little notice. Cherry, Grace.

- This is curtain- -Would you come here a second?

I'd like you to meet Mr Johnson from Chicago.

Let's go, girls, please.

The only, the greatest revue

in the great state of Nevada!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Galaxy Hotel is proud to present...

The Fertile Crescent!

Do you mind if we come in?

I always wondered where I was meant to be.

Is good to work, Jerry, but...

is also good to play.

Hmm.

"The Ant and the Grasshopper."

"Once upon a time,

"there was an ant and a grasshopper.

"All summer long, the ant work hard.

"The grasshopper, he played the violin.

"He dance.

"Winter come."

"The ant grow fat."

"The grasshopper, he's cold."

"The grasshopper eat the ant."

Hmm.

Sentimento perfetto. Bravo, Gino.

-Canti bello- -Grazie, grazie.

Um... you guys like the water?

What do you have in mind?

Er... we have a little cabin up on Fallen Leaf.

And, er... we're going fishing for a few days.

Would you...

We wanted to know if you want to come there and go fishing with us.

Really fishing.

For fish.

Tomorrow, when we get off.

- We have to be back in Chicago. - Well, you know, any time.

Any time you come in.

That you wanted to come up any time that you're in Tahoe.

Any time. Six months, a year.

Well, actually, it might be a lot longer than that.

We're gonna be gone for...

quite a while,

dear girls.

Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Where is everybody?

- Good morning, sir- -Good morning.

Would you be so kind as to send up some coffee?

-Right away-Coffee- -Lovely.

- Thank you very much. - Not at all.

♪ Haiu un cappiduzzu... ♪

Gino, wake up and smell the coffee!

♪ Veramenti sapuritu

♪ Quannu I'è mettiro

This is the kind of day.

Listen and learn something!

This is the kind of day.

Gino?

- You rub too hard, then... - You take off the polish.

- So, the trick is... - Not too hard, and not too soft.

And, you can't make the shoes shine, unless...

They're clean.

If everyone knew everything, there wouldn't be no schools, eh?

Yes, sir.

Shine shoes like anything else.

- It seems so simple now. - Yes and no.

- I'm really sorry, Mr Johnson. - Don't you be sorry.

Live and learn.

- Where have you been? - I put my shoes outside.

- They come back dull. - You're gonna come back dull.

I told you, you don't go anywhere.

Anywhere, do you hear me? Anywhere without me.

- We're gonna go back today. - I just go down the hall.

- We're gonna go back to Chicago today! - Why?

You can't obey orders.

Get your stuff. We're outta here.

- We're goin' back to Chicago. - I can't go back.

Who the hell do you think you are?

I stepped out of channels. I put myself out for you.

What did you do for me?

What did I say? Stick by my side.

One thing, and you couldn't do it.

I was your friend, but you weren't my friend.

To hell with you. Go back to Sicily, go back to prison.

- We're goin' to Chicago. - I can't go back to Chicago.

- Why can't you go back to Chicago? - I no got my shoes.

Thank you.

Catch me ever doing another favour.

- You mad at me. - Mad at you? Yeah.

If I came back without you, they'd kill me.

You think that's a joke?

I no gotta answer. I give my word.

Can we get some coffee in here?

I'm on the corner, four p.m.

He's driving big black car. Lincoln.

- He come on the street. - Okay, okay, okay.

Come on the street, I shoot the son of a bitch...

Okay, okay!

Fine.

Yeah. Whaddaya wanna do today?

We go see those nice girls, eh?

Yeah. Don't take that "We go fishing" line too seriously, okay?

Everything's for sale in this town.

Everybody loves you when you got the dough.

- No. They like us. - Yeah.

They liked us real good.

Everybody likes you when you're someone else.

Hey, we got one day left.

We got one day worth of a good time, then we go home.

Come in! I'll get dressed.

Let's get outta here, and you stick by my side.

Er... Jer, there are two friends of ours, Kenny and Harry,

they wanted to know if perhaps they could take just a little bit of...

Thank you, Billy.

Mr Johnson?

Joseph Vincent sends you greetings,

and welcome to Lake Tahoe.

He extends to you this invitation:

to be his guest at his estate for luncheon today,

if this is convenient within your plans.

Well, you know, we have a lot of, um...

If this would be convenient,

one p.m., we'll pick you up downstairs.

We'll be waiting in the lobby.

We're in some very deep shit.

Okay, now, look, look, look.

Whatever he asks you, say, um... no.

Whatever he, um... You're on vacation.

You don't... You're a... You don't wanna talk no business.

You don't wanna hear no...

So... So, when we get there, like if he asks who you are,

just... just, er... just let me handle it.

Whatever it is, I'll, er...

Metti un po' di sale.

Approved list. The vehicles.

I'm on top of it.

You got a load of vegetables, four o'clock.

- From where? - Reno.

Stop 'em at the gate and call me.

- Eggs. - Anna?

Vorrei due ancora, portalo dentro la.

Put it in the pantry.

Senti, prendi una bottegli di grappa.

Presto, via!

- Gli carciofi? - Cuocere al vapore. Cosa pensi.

Maria, pulire la tavola, subito.

Ciao, grazie-

Hey, I need to see you about the Chevy.

Il pane t'aspetto.

A dealer from the state line.

This is the swing shift broad?

She used to date with this whatchamacallit.

- The big guy. - Who's this?

- You know, the big guy. - Oh, right, right, right.

So, now she's torn between two... two guys.

And she's hiding the sausage with both these guys?

She's the one.

And you're saying she's the one that stabbed him?

The same one.

She knocked the other guy's teeth out.

She stabbed him, and knocked the other guy's teeth out.

- I can't believe this. - It's true. He had caps.

Hey, Jerry, what's a good price for a '56 Chevy?

Er... yeah.

Volete fumare adesso?

- It's good to know one's family. - Mmm.

A good man...

A good man takes pride

in knowing those who are connected to him.

Would you agree?

Oh, I got a big family.

And, no matter how big that family is,

still we remember all of their names.

From the little one...

So, tell me some names.

Names of... of my family?

Eh, is... is Bruno Gatto.

And little Bruno Gatto.

I don't know them.

Mmm.

See what I mean? What brings you here?

- Well... I no here for talk business. - We'll talk business later.

But now, I must know what brings you to this occasion?

What a lovely old coin.

Is there anything you can tell me about it?

A big man, he know the value of a small coin.

It's always good to make a new friend.

Amicu miu du me cori.

I haven't heard that in 35 years.

-Saluti- -Saluti.

That's a beautiful boat.

And you got beautiful shoes.

Even the best shoes wear out.

No, you take care,

they last a long time.

You watch close.

You look for the crack.

And then?

Then you look more close.

Mmm.

Show me your boat.

Best part of the day, isn't it?

You tired, Don Giuseppe?

You know how it becomes, the pressures.

Gino, stay with me tonight.

Will you stay?

You give me your home.

What I can give to you?

Da un' amico...

a un' altro.

Lo scatolo.

This is not an old coin. It's a new coin.

But it, too, is a symbol.

And, should you ever need my friendship,

you take this coin,

you put it into a telephone,

and you call this number.

Whatever you may wish,

if it is within the power of your friend,

that wish will be granted.

Hey, Gino, you got grass stains on your pants.

Your momma gonna kill you.

Have Mr Johnson's things cleaned, brought to his room.

We'll talk tonight, after dinner.

Mr Johnson is staying with us tonight.

Ah... as much as we'd like to accept your hospitality...

I put him on probation.

We're having some people tonight.

Perhaps you know some of them.

We'll have some dinner. We'll talk about...

- shoes. - Mm-hmm.

Tomorrow, we go fishing.

Whatever you need, you talk to my people.

Whatever Mr Johnson requires, see that he has it.

Otherwise, see that he is not disturbed.

We're goin' out tomorrow. We'll take the boat out.

I'm gonna show you some fighting fish.

You like northern pike, eh, Gino?

First we're gonna catch 'em, then we're gonna cook 'em.

Come on, we're goin' over the hotel.

So, um...

how big is your guy?

I mean, I never seen the Don pal up that close

with someone like that before.

Unless it's something I shouldn't know.

What are they? Friends from the old country?

And how are you and Mr Johnson today, sir?

You know, we don't gotta do this.

Come on, we'll get a cup of coffee. Somebody check out Mr Johnson.

- Check out Mr Johnson. - Front, check out Mr Johnson.

Check out Mr Johnson.

Let's show some service here, can we?

What are you doin'? What the hell are you doin'?

- I... - I told you no.

We wanna keep a low profile.

What are you crawling all over us the whole time?

You don't know M... What? Mr Johnson?

What are you...? You don't know Mr Johnson.

- I s... - You what? You what?

Do you know what we're doing here?

- I thought... - What?

I thought you were here for the meeting.

- What meeting? - Check in Mr Green.

Mr Green from Chicago-

Mr Green, good to have you with us again.

Welcome back to the Galaxy-

What time are we due at Joe Vincent's house?

Eight o'clock- You just have time to change.

- Did you bring the present? - Yeah.

We'll be back from the meeting by ten, and get some sleep.

You look lovely.

Check us in. I'll be at the tables.

Mr Green's party is here.

- You have the two cars? - Yes, sir.

Have you arranged for a line of credit in the casino?

- Yes, sir- -SILVER: I don't want him showing ID or anything.

- Yes, sir- -SILVER: Good.

Oh, heck.

L'acendino è carico?

Apri il vino.

1968, 396 Chevelle, sort of a light green.

It's my brother's car. It was a cherry car.

Had a four-barrel on this sucker, it was the size of a basketball.

You'd punch it down, you'd see the hood cave in.

We used to get tanked up, go to Ridgeley, West Virginia,

this place called the Hog Trough...

- Okay! - Tutti fuori dalla mia cucina.

Un momento. I'm sorry I'm late.

I got a coupla things I wanna go over with you guys.

Number one is the cut-off time, which is 8:15.

After which point, nobody gets in.

They're at the gate after 8:15, they're an Indian.

The second thing is, nobody is anyone

unless I introduce you to him.

Listen closely to me now.

Better you should have to apologise to someone

what you said to him than...

Huh? You know what I'm talkin' about.

Like that time with that guy down at the lake.

- Come on. - What, what, what?

Come on, come on, we're goin' home.

We no gotta go until tomorrow.

We're cutting short our trip.

We got 45 minutes to make the plane back to Chicago.

- We gonna stay here one more day. - Forget it!

- ... The guy, and he's wrong? - Whaddaya do? Whaddaya do?

You send him scuba diving.

Go solve my problem for me, will ya?

You guys, come with me.

Oh, Lord, are we in trouble.

Get dressed. Come on, come on!

What? What?

I forget my lucky quarter. Eh!

Are you nuts? Come on!

How was the weather in Chicago?

Sleet, rain- All the time. Nothing changes.

- A smooth flight? - Excellent flight.

Thank you, no problems.

- Hotel treating you well? - Just fine, just fine.

- How are you feeling? - Oh, fine, never better.

I think you'll find the food here a little better than the hotel.

That's what I expected.

Of course, Max, the, er...

the same could probably be said of your place in Chicago.

Oh, and you don't have to bring your lunch next time.

And now, I want you to meet my companion, Miss Bates.

Miss Bates, you're an adornment to my home.

Ah, I have another one.

Token of respect from your friends in Chicago.

A set of duelling pistols-

Max, thank you- This is a magnificent gift.

- 1827? - If you say so.

Although we are involved in business,

we in the Midwest are never unmindful

that our business is founded on friendship.

We are honoured to be invited to the home of such a friend.

May peace and prosperity grace your door.

Thank you, Max-Thank you very much.

- Mr Silver. - Thank you for inviting me.

It's my pleasure- Please treat my house as your own.

Tonight, there's somebody I want you to meet.

Mmm.

It's a friend of ours. Oh, there he is now.

Seven and one half!

You got a big head!

Max, come here- There's something I'd like to show you.

Thanks for the gift.

- Gino, Gino, did you have a good nap? - Yes...

- Joe! Good to see ya! - Oh.

- Excuse me. Willie! Good of you to come. - It's been too long.

- Yes, it has. - Brought you a little something.

- Willie, that's magnificent. - Nothing's too good for ya, Joe.

- Listen, we'll talk later. - Mr Bagwell.

- Ken, good to see you. - Don Giuseppe...

I think you know who most of these people are.

It's a... It's a life full of business, huh?

Don Giuseppe, we was planning to go fishing tomorrow, but...

Don Giuseppe!

- Giovanni. - Con un piccolo complimento.

- Mille grazie. - Prego.

Spero che tu viva per mille anni-

Don Giuseppe, if I can't stay until tomorrow, if I gotta go...

Joe Vincent, it's an honour to be in your house!

- Howard! - How ya doin'?

Fine, fine. Listen, that's a long trip for you to make.

No trip is too far to pay my respects to you.

Don Giuseppe, I gotta have just a minute of your time.

- All right. - We...

Hey, Joe, come over here- I got a question for you.

We'll talk later. After they've gone, hmm?

- What is it, Max? - Well, come here. Take a look at this.

- I'm ashamed. - Oh, I've seen that.

- You have? - Sure, it's my book.

- It came from your library. - Oh, right.

Do you know who I ran into yesterday on the street?

- Who's that? - Er... Vinny.

- Vinny? - Vinny.

Vinny. Vinny! Yeah!

Would you recognise him?

No, no, he dropped some weight.

Come on, come on, come on.

Now, we're gonna walk away from here nice and quiet

like nothing's happening, and...

Will you take off that hat?

Don't drop out on me now.

Just a nice stroll in the evening air.

- What are we gonna do? - We're gonna find ourselves a car.

We're fine. Everything's gonna be okay.

I no get to say goodbye.

Just keep your nerve. Don't lose your nerve on me here.

Just a couple of mice.

Come on, come on, come on!

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna hot-wire the car.

How do you hot-wire the car? You, er... er...

You cross the, er... er... Okay.

Now, the keystone to the security system is the infrareds.

We had the dogs and we have them out on the perimeter,

but after that thing last year, I said,

"Why keep them if you can't believe in them?"

In a moment, I'll take you down and show you.

And, also, our feeling is: don't show the guy what to look for.

Make him look for everything-

Which, in this case, you gotta do.

Make him wonder about everything.

The point being, it's not gonna be some dog barking at him that he hears.

We got him in the infrared-

The last things he's gonna hear is gonna be his heart exploding.

Hey, look at this car over here.

It's a 1935 Cadillac.

They just don't make 'em like this anymore. I swear.

Hey, what's the matter with you? We're goin' home.

I know where we're going.

Mmm.

What? What?

We're outta gas.

Guy's the head of the Vegas mob. He can't keep gas in his car.

What the hell kind of a country is this?

- You got any money? - No.

- Aha, great. Gimme a dollar. - Okay.

Man, I'm runnin' on empty here.

It's a good thing we're goin' home.

We was gonna go fishing tomorrow.

- Who? - Me and Don Giuseppe.

You were gonna go fishin'? Don Giuseppe found out who you were,

then you were gonna go fishin' as the bait.

It's okay, we're gonna make it.

You be thankful you're alive.

And anybody talks to you on the plane, you don't say nothin'.

You don't even speak English.

We get back to Chicago, this never happened.

Five dollars, please.

- I just asked you for a dollar. - Well, I'm sorry, I didn't hear.

Okay, look, it's a misunderstanding. We got a plane to catch.

But you owe me four bucks.

Yeah, well, we're gonna send it to you.

- I'd love to help you. Can't. - Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Look, I don't want any trouble. Do you know who this is?

I don't know, and I don't care. You owe me four dollars.

Look, I didn't ask for the gas, and I don't got time for this chat, pal.

- We're sending you the money. - No, I think not, mister.

Why don't you wait here until we work this out?

What the hell do you think you're doin'?

I'm callin' the cops.

I gotta catch a plane. Gimme the keys.

Took the gas. You can't pay for it.

- That's called theft. - Oh, hell. Oh, he... hell.

Oh, please, please, gimme a... gimme a break. Gimme a break!

- We're gonna catch a plane. - Treat a workin' man like this?

You didn't work for that gas. I worked for that gas.

- Yeah, let me speak to the sheriff. - Look, man. Look, man, please.

We have to catch the plane. Just give me back the key.

I'm holdin' for the sheriff.

Throw your ass in jail, tryin' to defraud me.

What are we gonna do now?

We, er... We, er...

We drive home!

Look, look, look. A plane ticket to Chicago.

I give you the ticket.

I trade you the ticket for a full tank of gas.

You're gonna give me a ticket to Chicago for a tank of gas?

You give us a full tank of gas, and we get outta here.

Okay.

Where's my jacket?

I have no idea who some people think they are.

I swear that I don't.

Just when things were going so well.

Yeah, let me speak to the sheriff.

The sheriff. This is Jack at the gas station.

I'll hold.

Well, the car's probably stolen, too.

- You want a cigarette? - No, thank you.

Hello, sheriff!

Yeah, this is Jack down at the gas station.

Got a couple of fellas down here who, er...

Take the money.

Hold on.

Never mind. It's all right.

- We go now. - Hmm?

Your key.

- Come on. - Your change. Thank you.

What this place is like?

You eat, you sleep.

You got a job, you go and do your job.

You don't, you stay in your cell.

And we'll have people there for ya.

Hmm. Sure, there's people there.

Yeah, there's lots of people there.

Eh. I can handle this.

Don't tell me you can handle it.

You never know till they close that door.

And then you find out.

And then I find out.

That's right.

Then I get out. And you come and see me in my boat.

Yeah, I'll come see you in your boat.

Sun come up, and we fish. Sun go down, and we drink.

We talk about old times.

We talk about number 12.

Yeah. Okay.

Eh. Not such a long time.

No.

What's the big deal?

That's right.

Well?

What do you think time it is?

Five? Five-fifteen?

Well, we got about five hours.

Whaddaya wanna do?

I...

Hey. Hey, I...

I wish you didn't have to go.

Don't go.

I gotta go.

You know I gotta go.

No, you could...

- A deal, it's a deal. - To hell with the deal.

The deal is they're buying three years of your life for pocket change.

You come outta there an old man, buncha money don't mean shit.

Jerry, eh...

"Eh"? "Eh"? What "Eh"?

I got a deal. Three years in prison.

I get out, I go back, I buy my boat.

You buy your boat!

You know what your money's gonna buy in three years?

It won't buy a toothbrush.

What... Three years of your life!

You... No, this is not a deal. It's a hustle.

They hustled you. Three years for three days.

I give my word.

No.

You walk.

You could walk.

I go in the bathroom. I... I slip in the tub.

- Jerry... - You walk. Who's gonna know?

Who's gonna know? Who's gonna find you? No-one.

Who's gonna look for you? Go on. Go on!

Go on, get outta here.

Get outta here! Get the hell outta here!

Get outta here!

What the hell do you want?

We have a good time in Lake Tahoe. Eh?

We drink champagne with the girls.

The guy on stage say, "Mr Johnson, take a bow."

They'd break their word to you.

Maybe yes, and maybe no. What they do, no matter.

I give my word.

I give my word.

I gonna miss you.

You stupid son of a bitch.

You gonna miss me, too?

I ain't missing no dummy don't know when to run.

Know what I mean?

No.

Yeah.

I'll miss you all my life.

Get outta here, you stupid lame.

Where are you goin'?

I gonna shave.

What?

- Hey, can I come in? - Wha... Yeah, yeah.

- What are you doin' here? - Come to walk you guys over.

- We got till ten o'clock. - He wants you there at eight.

So what've you guys been doing in here three days?

- Playin' gin. - Hmm.

Guy's here to take us over. We're goin' over early.

Where we goin'?

Thought we'd take a walk by the lake.

Give him some air in his lungs.

Do you guys have a nice weekend?

Yeah.

- Does he know his confession? - Yeah.

Frankie, what's goin' on?

I told you. We're takin' a walk.

Hey, we gotta get to court.

Jer...

he ain't goin' to court.

He knows his stuff.

He's gonna keep his word.

He's gonna keep his word!

- Jerry... - No, no.

Jerry! The thing was, our guy needed two days to get outta town.

This doesn't work. The whole thing was, set this guy up.

Get his prints on the gun, get a confession.

Later he gets remorse, the murder he did.

He kills himself.

We stick the confession in his pocket. Life goes on.

It's cleaner this way.

The Do... The Don said,

"Tell him to be at the 28th district, ten o'clock Monday."

That's right. He said, "Tell him to be the 28th."

He didn't say "take him there".

Nobody told me this was gonna be the thing.

He had a deal!

Things change.

You son of a bitch. What the...

Who are you, all of you? You make a deal with the man.

You set the guy up, promise him this, do the thing.

He does it, stands up.

- Hey, Jerry! - Come on, come on!

You told me me the things you promised this guy, lied to him.

You're gonna... You're gonna turn around and kill him?

I'm not gonna kill him.

You're gonna kill him.

You're gonna kill him, pal.

You wanted to square yourself, get off probation.

Whaddaya think the thing is? Sittin' in a hotel three days,

order room service, that's gonna get you back in?

That's not the job.

This is the job.

You come up to his head, you shoot him right above the eye.

Put the gun in his hand, let it fall.

You've got two minutes.

Hey, man, you can't make me do this.

Hey, I'm not makin' you do anything.

You turn it down, you turn it down.

You can't handle it, I handle it.

Um...

Gino...

What?

Something happened.

What?

We got a different situation.

I don't even know how to say it.

I see.

Didn't I tell you to run?

I told you to run.

I threw you out of the hotel, and you came back.

I told you to go. I told you.

Why didn't you go?

I give my word.

You gave your word.

You gave your word!

- Hey, Jerry. - Hey, fantastic! You gave your word!

- Jerry. - I said I'm gonna do it!

I gave my word! Everybody gave their goddamn word!

Oh, God!

Hey, what are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do? Gonna shoot me?

You gonna shoot me?

Shoot yourself. Shoot yourself. You're dead.

Great.

Now I'm dead.

You're dead.

We're all dead.

- You got the keys to the car? - I...

You got the keys to the car?

I only... I just keep...

- Ah! - What?

What?

I gotta make a phone call.

What phone call?

What phone call?

Don Giuseppe say, "If you ever need my friendship..."

Are you nuts?

Are you nuts?

Yes, I make a collect call to Mr Joseph Vincent

from Gino Gatto in Chicago.

Great.

Gino Gatto, collect to Mr Joseph Vincent...

The defendant having pled guilty

to murder in the first degree,

and in the absence of extenuating circumstances,

we have no alternative but to sentence the defendant

to the maximum allowed by law.

The term of imprisonment of 20 years to life.

Do you have anything you wanna say?

The car comes on the corner at four p.m.

I shot the son of a bitch three times in the heart.
