Noodles.

I brought back the key to the grandfather clock.

Close the door.

KEY TURNS IN THE LOCK

When did you come back?

Today.

Why?

- Someone called me. - Who?

- I thought you knew. - I?

I don't know anything about anyone anymore.

Won't you offer me a drink?

Yes, sorry. Sure, sit down.

Who is Robert Williams?

It's me.

"We inform you that following the sale of the Israeli cemetery..."

She sent them to the synagogue, for those who wish to move their bodies.

They also sent it to me for my father.

The synagogue didn't send it to me. I received it a week ago.

And the rabbi told me that he sent them eight months ago.

You are right. And just when I received mine.

And what else did the rabbi tell you?

He said everything was fine. The Bodies of Philip Stein,

Maximilian Bercovicz and Patrick Goldberg had already been taken care of.

And that they were in a beautiful cemetery up in Riverdale.

What does this mean?

It means:

"Noodles, even though you were hiding in the world's asshole, we found you."

"We know where you are."

It means:

"Get ready".

To what?

They didn't write this.

What do you think about it?

That the answer is here. That's why I came back.

I brought everything back here.

I had to sell the upstairs and the warehouse too.

I also thought that you took that million dollars.

But I see I was wrong.

Already.

You're with your ass on the ground more than before.

- But I thought that the money... - You thought wrong.

The suitcase was empty.

Who took them?

That's what I've been wondering for 35 years.

If this has an effect on you, I'll sleep here. You can stay in my room.

No. It doesn't matter.

- How is your sister? - I haven't seen her in years.

He's a big star now.

Why, didn't she understand herself?

The winners are recognized at the start.

Recognize the winners and the losers.

Who would have bet on you?

I would have bet everything on you.

And you would have lost.

Well, you're tired. Good night.

Good night, Moe. Thank you.

What have you been doing all these years?

I went to bed early.

Sorry, Fat.

- Hey, Noodles! - Bugsy has a job for us.

Hurry. You know Bugsy doesn't wait.

(NOODLES) Who did you say cockroach to?

Why, what are you? You're dirty, you disgust me.

You climb the toilet walls like them. So, what are you?

- And leave me! - I disgust you, huh?

But you showed yourself naked.

From a cockroach?

Look at yourself in the mirror, David Aaronson.

If she doesn't leave me alone, I'll end up giving her what she's looking for.

- What does Bugsy want? - We need to make a reminder.

That idiot newsagent doesn't want to pay for protection.

I'll leave the money here, sir.

(NOODLES) That right there.

- Are you crazy? - Bugsy said: take a dollar or clean up a drunk.

Yes, but he's not drunk yet.

Let's wait.

She's worse than my Uncle Nathan. Luckily she met me.

Go ahead, mom.

< Stop, you! Wait a moment. You, yes I'm talking to you.

- What are you doing here? - Yes, what are we doing here?

We take it in the ass.

Yes, is it against the law to take it in the ass?

Give charity to 4 poor idiots who just took it up the ass!

Get out of here, you son of a bitch! Get out of here.

Let's go! Get out of here! And don't come back again!

Hey, I'll call you later.

< - Where do you think you're going? < - Don't get so excited, mother.

I just have to go to the toilet.

- Hi, Peggy. - You might as well close the door.

You do not like it?

I've seen better.

- You've seen a lot, huh? - How many have you seen?

I'll tell you how many. None.

Show me yours.

Look, but don't touch.

Wait, Peggy. Wait a moment.

- Now say you don't like it. - I don't like doing it for free.

Bring me a Russian Charlotte with cream and I'll make you do everything.

Tomorrow. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I'll bring her to you tomorrow.

- I don't do credit. - I promise you.

Stop squeezing me or I'll piss myself.

Are you leaving or not?

Come on come on.

Make me six copies.

If you pose again, I'll go in your ass again.

- What's that like, "another time"? - It would be a long discussion.

And now it's too late!

It's already 6:34. And I don't have time to waste.

Now get the fuck out because I have a lot of work to do.

One moment.

It's now 6:35. And I don't have shit to do.

Wait a minute, asshole. I'll find it a pastime for you.

Wait! Hey!

Since we're talking about time, I think you'll smash the chandelier at 6:36.

- Who did you steal it from? - It's mine.

- Try it. - I gave it to him.

Oh yes?

Who are you?

- Where do you come from? - From the Bronx.

And do you give away watches?

And my uncle.

- And who gave it to you? - My uncle Nathan.

- He's my younger brother. - Tell your uncle to stop by the station.

-He died ... - Alcoholic.

In Kishnev, Poland.

Then he no longer needs him. And requirement.

- What does it mean? - That he stole it. At 6:37.

And be careful, you are both marked.

(NOODLES) I've already marked you too.

Hold it! Get it! Take the chandelier, I can't do it.

Maro

Who is he?

My uncle.

- This one, with cream. - What, 5 cents?

By force.

Without cream he just slams it with his hand. I can do it myself.

Not that one!

That.

Are you sure?

Make me a nice package.

Good morning. Is Peggy home?

She is taking a bath.

Please, could you tell her I'm here?

Hey, Ma, another bucket of water.

She waits there.

Well done, "Shitface". And in service!

You caught me red-handed.

No, we caught you with the dick in a minor.

- Keep it safe. - (WHITEY) All right. No, wait!

going? Wait! A moment!

< Hey, you, stop! Stop there.

- What do you want to do with that plate? - Depends. What time is it, Max?

I think it's time to give us the watch back.

- Okay, guys, we're even now. - Like hell we are!

Before you were even you had already retired.

(PEGGY) Hi, guys.

What do you want from me?

(MAX) Let's see.

- First of all, you pay Peggy for us too. - Okay, then?

(MAX) You go ahead, while I explain it to him.

Incredible! My first fuck was paid for by an Italian policeman!

So, what else do you want for that plate?

Noodles told me about a guy named Bugsy.

He would be the boss of the neighborhood, Thank you.

-He would you mean? -He would mean that he pays you.

< (PEGGY) Do you want to slow down? What's the rush? Take your time.

If you continue like this, come right away.

NOODLES MOANS (PEGGY) What did I tell you?

You're so stupid. I can not believe.

So why does Bugsy pay you? What do you do for him?

- I turn a blind eye every now and then. - Well, from today you will close it for us.

Why? What do you have in mind?

He'll explain it to you.

Me, him, Cockeye and Patsy work alone.

LAUGH Bugsy will crush you.

And then I don't want any more trouble in my area.

You can't say "I want" anymore. You won't see or hear anything.

Just like you do with Bugsy.

< (MAX) What the fuck!

(PEGGY) Don't get angry otherwise it'll be worse. It always happens the first time.

< (MAX) Those are the two talking. - Can't you see what's bothering you? Get up.

We're in agreement now.

- So go for a ride. < (PEGGY) Come here, honey.

- Your Peggy will take care of it! - He doesn't get up anyway.

(PEGGY) Relax. Here, like this. Good boy!

(PEGGY) Here, come here. Let me do it.

PEGGY MOANS

- (DEBORAH) Good morning, how are you? - Well. Happy Passover, Deborah.

Happy Passover!

Let's hurry, dad. We'll be late.

- Here's Deborah. - Excuse me. Mom needed help.

Deborah, I've closed everything and I'll leave you the keys.

I will take this opportunity to practice, I want to try a new step.

Deborah, make sure no one comes in.

MUSIC FROM THE GRAMOPHONE

(DEBORAH) Get down from there, cockroach.

That record acts as a purge for you.

Every time you feel it, you have to run to the toilet.

What are you doing?

- Give me something to drink. - We are closed.

Respectable people don't drink on Passover, they go to synagogue.

So what are you doing here?

Someone has to stay to keep watch.

With the petty thieves that are around, you can find one at home.

Especially if you leave the door open for him.

You can also pray in here.

Here or at the synagogue for the Lord it is the same.

Come here and sit down.

"My beloved is white and rosy."

"His cheeks are pure gold."

"His neck is a very gentle stem."

Even if she hasn't washed it since last Easter.

"His eyes are the eyes of a dove."

"His body shining ivory."

"And his legs are two pillars of marble."

In trousers so filthy they stand up on their own.

"He is all a delight."

But he will always be a two-bit thug...

therefore he will never be my beloved. What a pity.

You just have to choose.

And you choose that one.

Yes.

You're a really nice partner. Have fun.

Who is?

I also heard that you are going strong.

Won't you introduce me to your partner?

I introduce myself alone.

- And you lose all the goods. - So?

Give us 10 percent and we'll get it back for you.

- What do you have, a submarine? - No, we have salt.

- What do you have? - The boys and I use salt.

But we need 3 quintals per load.

Get the fuck out. Go back to school where you're supposed to be.

But what happened to salt?

The salt! First it goes to the bottom and then it goes up. Let him see.

(NOODLES) This is full of salt.

Come here.

- (AL) So what? - A bit of patience.

I like that friends and people I respect call me Frankie.

Come on, sit down. Take chairs and glasses.

Sit calmly. You're at home now.

This is my dearest friend Joe.

He came from Detroit to ask me to do him a favor.

And I want to do it to him.

I don't need to tell you who Joe is, he has come a long way and how much further he will go.

He is more than a dear friend, he is a brother.

(WITH SICILIAN ACCENT) How can a Jew eat this shit?

Mustard doesn't help either!

FRANKIE CHUCKLES

These are your people?

I told you these are my people.

You can trust. You are in excellent hands.

Just tell them what to do.

Moving some diamonds out of Detroit. Child's play.

Why us, then?

If it's for kids, why don't you let the kids from Detroit play?

Sorry, Noodles. He wanted to say that it is a very simple job.

But at the moment he needs guys from outside to take care of it.

He has learned that those brilliant people are leaving for Holland soon.

So it was something that came about suddenly.

It's clear?

Hey, Joe.

He tells the kids the story of the insured pussy. How it was?

Insured?

(FRANKIE) Tell him how you stumbled upon this.

Tell him the story.

Pussy policy. Policy flukes. Tell him about it.

Life is stranger than shit. \u003c/i> It's bullshit. It's not worth it.

I know an insurer, a Jew named Elijah.

He fooled me in all the policies in the world. All of them!

About dogs, about the house, about his wife, about life, everything!

One evening I was drinking with the boys and he arrives with his wife,

a beautiful brunette with a great ass who works for a jeweler.

And he is always eager to ensure.

So I wink at the boys and tell them:

"You didn't offer me the most serious policy that would be needed."

And he goes, "Which one is it, Joe?" "The fucking one."

"Give me a policy that, when it doesn't work for me, I'll get the compensation

and I'll write you the check right away."

He thinks about it and says to me: "I don't know if the real conditions can apply,

but you can make a policy.

But we need the guarantee that you are healthy now...

And I'm like, "It's simple, just leave her here. Then he comes back and see if he's standing straight.

If she stands straight, you already know I'm healthy."

That idiot leaves her. I fuck her.

Not only does she like it, she tells me when her boss, the jeweler

sends the stones to Holland

and where he keeps the stones crammed, in a compartment of the safe.

Who can ask for more, right? Except the most beautiful thing.

I never paid the first installment of my dick insurance!

THEY LAUGH

(MAX) Fucking insurance!

Life really is stranger than shit.

However...

softly with the lady.

Easy with the lady.

- Get yourself together and be good. - I 'm very good.

I want to make it real. I want it to feel real.

- (NOODLES) Give it a rest. - I 'm very good. Give them to me.

- Come on, there's no need for this whole scene. - Hit me!

He said to beat her. Come on, hit her in the mouth.

- (CAROL) Hit me! - (NOODLES) Now I'll beat you! Whore!

You can't say "yes" and then "no" to someone like Frankie Monaldi. You understand?

You did well. I would have said no.

Frankie is the greatest of all.

From today he has the whole combination in his hands.

So, starting tomorrow, he will have us in his hands too.

You won't get anywhere alone.

I thought you said you didn't like bosses.

Then I found it a beautiful phrase. And even now.

They will ask us to join them. The advantages are enormous.

Now they're asking you to take out Joe. Tomorrow they ask me to kill you.

Is this okay with you? Because it doesn't suit me.

Already.

Now let's forget about it.

Shall we take a bath?

Yes, let's take a bath.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, Noodles. Don't do bullshit.

What do you do?

You're crazy?

Fuck!

(PATSY) Don't close the glass! Let the water in!

EVENING NEWS WITH MARVIN BRENTLEY

(TV) District Attorney James Lister was killed in an explosion

of a car belonging to Secretary of Commerce Bailey

as he left the Secretary's office.

Mr Lister, killed in the explosion,

He was subpoenaed to testify in Washington on Thursday

before a Senate committee.

A commission of inquiry called: "The Bailey Scandal",

The case has been assigned to a team of special investigators.

Secretary Bailey does not wish to make any statements at this time.

Did you know this Bailey?

Attorney Irving Gold hoping to get your comment.

Lawyer, as you know, District Attorney Lister is the

second witness in the Scandal Bailey to die suddenly.

The first was Thomas Finney, Undersecretary of Commerce,

who a month ago fell from the window of his office on the 15th floor..."

Do you think there is some connection?

Take the money and leave. What's keeping you here?

(TV) The only remaining witness is the man who, rightly or wrongly,

gave his name to the story, Senator Bailey."

The curiosity.

(TV) The senator is perfectly calm.

If he is at peace, why did he lock himself away in his villa on Long Island?

He's just getting ready to answer questions

that will be posed to him by the commission.

More than questions, I would call them accusations.

- The senator is very calm. - But not public opinion.

In particular regarding rumors of rigged tenders, corruption,

and international mafia. Especially about illegal use

made by the pension fund of the Transport union.

Can he tell us something about it?

I firmly reject all allegations and accusations against my union.

Our hands have always been and continue to remain clean.

All my life I have fought to keep workers...

I know him.

Forces of speculation, with criminal elements or corrupt politicians.

If any mistake has been made...

He always says the same things, old bullshit.

If someone made a mistake in this situation, they should look elsewhere.

WINCH NOISE

Ah!

What is this story I read about you in the newspapers?

Fiery words from a union leader?

The workers' movement doesn't stop him anyway

neither the underworld nor bad politics.

Listen to me, social asshole asshole!

We don't give a damn about your workers and their movement.

We want you to clear out the occupied factory to get the ovens back on.

And this is the last offer you will have.

Do you want to sign it or what?

Tell your masters to wipe their asses with that paper.

Fill it up.

COUGHING

This is my latest... TIRES SQUEALING

Wait, guys. Don't shoot.

It's me, Crowning.

- Crowning. - Yes.

- That's enough, guys. - How is that enough?

A few more minutes and it was done.

And we have a boss who wants it.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Put them down.

Put your guns away.

It's a prisoner exchange.

(COCKEYE) Even trade, huh, Chicken Joe?

The workers' representative, against that of the masters.

(JOE) But he looks who he sees.

The Four Undertakers of Fat Moe.

Speaking of deaths.

How's your stomach cancer progressing, Chicken Joe?

- Untie him. - I don't take orders from you.

We do not ask you to take orders. We give it to you.

We'll just give it to you.

Untie him.

Untie him.

Who are you?

Who is paying you?

This is going to piss you off a lot, my friend.

A fucking politician friend of yours pays us.

Oh yes? Then go and tell him we don't want you with us.

Our fight has nothing to do with alcohol, prostitution and drugs.

(MAX) You know, you better get used to the idea.

This is a growing country.

Some illnesses are better to have suffered immediately, as children.

But you are not a mild measles. You are the cholera, the plague.

And scoundrels like him are immune, not us! This is the difference.

Keep calm.

The difference is that they will always win.

And you will continue to take it in the ass.

Sooner than you think.

(JOURNALIST) Commander, by occupying the factory you took everyone by surprise.

The press, the union and especially the strikers.

(COMMANDER) What did you want, darling, a declaration of war?

Ours was a peaceful action.

(JOURNALIST) But isn't that against union rules?

I'm the police chief, not of the people.

There was enough violence to justify...

My motto is: "prevent, not repress".

But she let the scabs in!

Miss, if you want to talk to me You call them "unemployed workers".

Now I have to bring the flowers to my lady before they wither.

As you know, I am the proud father of a son.

We also know that he is the youngest shareholder of the occupied factory.

What are you saying?

It seems that the company gave the child a gift to repay its debt.

LAUGH

You know, defamation is a serious crime.

Especially if it comes from a shitty reporter.

Do you want to find out how serious it is?

But since this is my first boy after four girls,

Today I'm in the mood for amnesty.

PHONE RINGS Hello.

Don't be a pain in the ass!

No, sorry. Wait, wait. I wasn't telling her.

Excuse me, who are you?

Leave it alone... Who am I talking to?

Who the fuck are you? My son, where is he?

Where do you want it to be? At the maternity ward, he never moved.

He was just a little nervous, so he wanted to change bed.

The others, seeing him, wanted to change beds too.

Imagine, 30-40 screaming babies jumping from bed to

bed exchanging dog tags, so now it's a big problem.

(PHONE)You piece of shit, whoever you are! What the fuckdo you want? I want my son!

Luckily we were there to control all that traffic.

If you want, we can put them all back.

- Only you have to come and meet us. - What do you want?

- What do you care about who wins I strike? - What have I to do with the strike?

What do you have to do with it? First, you let in the scabs.

Second, you sent your agents to protect them. Here's what you have to do with it.

- I'ma policeman! -Shut the fuck up!

And listen to me very carefully.

Clear out your people and let the strikers deal with the bosses.

I want my son back!

You do this and we will give you your child's number.

If you don't do it, it will mean that you will look for your child alone. And good luck.

- So, what do you decide? - Okay.

- I'm calling my men back today. - There you go, well done.

You know, for an asshole bastard son of a bitch, you're not as

much of an asshole as I thought you were. Good boy.

- Let's go well! - (PATSY) Wait a minute.

Listen, Noodles, wait. I remember.

Males had odd... no, the evens, and the females the odd ones.

He doesn't bat an eye, so there are no more problems.

It's just a matter of giving it an even number.

Eight. Let's choose eight.

Eight.

- Eight is a good number. - And shall we leave the others like this?

We are like destiny.

There are those who go to feel good and those who go to take it in the ass.

LAUGH

So, kids, let's do the math. Is Saturday.

Count or not, I'll take my share in the fat.

See that blonde over there? The one near the table.

You see her? Can you call her for us, please?

-Carol? -Or whatever your name is.

Just tell her that a group of her old friends are waiting for her.

Carol. Carol!

(MAX) Noodles, come here.

You know them, right?

No.

It doesn't seem like it to me.

No. I would remember some nice guys like that.

Oh, of course, How come I never thought of that!

There was...

There was only one of you that I got to know more deeply, let's say.

(MAX) Which one?

Let's see how much of a physiognomist you are.

You.

No.

- Him. - By staying together we end up looking alike.

LAUGHS

Enchanted!

You can call me "you".

We already know each other.

Pleasure.

The pleasure...

it's all mine.

And so you left Detroit, huh?

She and her husband only come to my place on weekends.

Better than going to the beach.

She has ten men while he watches her through a hole.

Better than going to the cinema.

Who knows what that poor guy locked in her closet is doing now?

She'll be wondering where she went to get fucked. LAUGHS

CAROL MOANS

Why don't we do a threesome, huh?

He has other plans for tonight.

Bring her here too so we can do it together.

No, I'm not having fun.

And then I'm afraid that if you get a kick in the pile you'll come straight away.

Good night guys.

- Until tomorrow. - (TOGETHER) Hello.

You wanted a restaurant by the sea and I had it opened for you.

Out of season they are closed.

All these tables are set for two.

Just choose what you want.

THE ORCHESTRA PLAYS "AMAPOLA"

I like this.

Then sit down.

(IN FRENCH) Boeuf à la mode. Veal stew.

(IN FRENCH) For me asparagus sauce and then a Chàteaubriand fillet.

(IN FRENCH) - And for dessert? - I'll decide later.

(IN FRENCH) - And you sir? - Same for me.

For wines?

You do it. I only drink water.

- You do it. - Thank you.

But... you travelled!

Do you know the names of the dishes, "parlez-vous frangais"?

Who teaches you this stuff?

You mean if I have an old gentleman who gives me lessons?

I read, I want to learn everything. Isn't it right for you to make plans?

Yes, certainly.

But am I in your plans?

Noodles...

You are the only person I have ever...

What's wrong with you? Go ahead.

What have you ever...?

That I cared about.

But you would lock me in a room and throw away the key, right?

Yes.

Yes, I think so.

Already. The trouble is that I would also be happy to stay there.

- So? - I want to get where I decided to get.

- And where? - Up on top.

Now you sound like Max.

You hate each other so much precisely because you are the same.

You want me to go?

No, I don't want you to leave.

Would you like to dance?

- Invite me? - I invite you.

Then I dance.

(NOODLES) To keep from going crazy you had to cut yourself off from the outside world.

You should have forgotten it. And yet, you know, the years went by.

It seemed like they were flying, because it's always like this when you do nothing.

But two things I couldn't get out of my mind. One was Dominic.

The way he told me "I tripped", just before dying.

The other was you.

You who read me the "Song of Songs", remember?

"How beautiful are your feet in sandals, daughter of a prince."

I read the Bible every night. And every night I thought about you.

"Your navel is a round cup where there is never a shortage of wine."

"Your belly is a heap of wheat surrounded by lilies."

"Your breasts..."

"they are bunches of grapes."

"Your breath has the delicate scent of apples."

No one will ever love you like I loved you.

There were times when I couldn't take it anymore. And I was thinking of you.

I said to myself, "Deborah lives. And she's out there. Exists".

And with that I got over everything.

Do you understand what you are to me?

I'm leaving for Hollywood tomorrow.

I wanted to see you tonight to tell you.

No.

Look, it's in all the newspapers.

He says: "The underworld joins the strikers in a brutal fight."

Instead "The Post" speaks well of it.

"The end justifies the means for a gang's decisive intervention."

Mr. Gallagher greatly appreciates what you have done.

To show your appreciation for him,

he sends you this with compliments.

If you are still needed to complete the job, I will let you know.

SOUND OF ENGINE

Knocked down by a barrage of Cordon Rouge.

Let's hope it doesn't get known.

You wouldn't scare anyone anymore.

I have never been afraid. You guys are the ones who put it to him.

(SHARKEY) And you didn't want them to help you!

Luckily we at the party, we care about your union.

The strike is over, we won. That's what matters, right, Jim?

But it was hard for Jimmy not to be there to sign the agreement, wasn't it?

No.

It's hard to admit that you did more than you in one evening

that I in two years of speeches. - Do not think about it.

(SHARKEY) To the rising star of American unions.

Jimmy Conway. - (MAX) Now let's talk.

- (PATSY) And God bless us. - (MAX) Drink up, Jim. Send it down.

Are you crazy for making him drink? He needs to go into the operating room.

What's the rush? They've already told me I'll be lame for life.

Don't worry, even with a slightly shorter leg you will make giant strides.

Already! But always one step behind you, eh, Sharkey?

(MAX) Make sure they don't miss a leg, Jim!

Don't let the rest cut out!

Now you have an authentic martyr as a friend. Put it to good use.

Already! But I would like to know, What do we do with a martyr?

Times change. Prohibition won't last long.

- Many of you will end up unemployed. - Please explain better. We are interested.

Haven't you ever had the idea of ​​going into business?

All the trucks they now use for smuggling will give them away for nothing.

I'm talking about hundreds of vehicles

controlled by a national organization.

And supported by a powerful union headed by Jimmy.

All you have to do is ask, Now he can no longer refuse you anything.

(COCKEYE) You're joking!

Jimmy "Clean Hands" do you do business with us?

They won't stay clean for long with all the hands he has to hold.

Give it time.

- We're not interested. - What's wrong, something wrong?

We have a lot of money saved up. Why not invest them? Where is the problem?

You will have the party behind you and I have friends in key places.

I don't care about his friends, and politicians piss me off.

You're left with the mentality of a stupid beggar!

If it were up to you, we would still clean up the drunks.

- Are you short of money? - Don't bust my balls.

- You miss them? - The real ones yes.

If you want you can use it, for me they are enough and more. Just take them.

- You have the smell of the street on you. - I like. It makes me feel good.

My lungs open up when I hear it.

And she pulls me even more.

(SHARKEY) You're carrying around dead weight, Max.

One of these days you're going to have to give it up.

(NOODLES) Let me know when you dump me.

Meanwhile I'm going to Florida. I want the sea.

Hey!

Look, thinking about it carefully...

I also wanted to go to the seaside.

A dream I've had my whole life.

And I promise you that you and I together can make it happen.

Things?

The Federal Reserve Bank.

I studied everything, It's not as impossible as it seems.

You are crazy.

Don't you dare tell me. Don't ever tell me that again!

What are the chances that a crazy coup like this will succeed?

Don't ask me, ask Max.

You know as well as I do that it's a good suicide for everyone.

Try to convince him, try your own methods.

I tried.

He doesn't even want to fuck anymore.

He thinks of nothing but this blow.

Gas, hostages, now he has decided to do it.

He'll go all the way, with you or without you.

We never liked each other.

We put up with each other for Max's sake. Because for once we don't team up

and don't we do something for him?

After that...

we can go back to being enemies like before.

One thing is certain, if they put you in jail sooner...

there would be no hit on the bank.

I got the idea from your friend Max.

What do you mean?

LAUGH

He laughs at you. He just makes fun of you.

He says Eve cut your balls.

That every time you pass this bank you get pissed off.

That you would do anything to get caught so as not to do the job.

Well, then do it.

Just do it. Send him to jail, that he is in prison. Not so much.

Just enough to get this idea out of his head.

And if it costs you a lot to stay away from him, well, go after him too.

Better in prison than in the cemetery.

You find the way.

And if you don't do it, I will.

Now come down! Get a taxi.

I'm busy. I'm busy. Get off.

Try to decide quickly.

BAILEY FOUNDATION (CAROL)

Max made fun of us, Noodles.

He wanted to die.

Did you know that his old man died in a mental hospital?

Max didn't want to end up the same way.

So he put the idea in our heads to attack the police

and when he stopped the van Max started shooting first.

Only to get killed.

What is this?

The inauguration here.

Fifteen years ago.

Who is that?

The godmother of the hospice.

An actress.

Do you know her?

No.

Hi, Deborah.

Don't you tell me anything?

I don't know what they say next...

more than 30 years.

Well, let's say: "How are you? You look good"?

Or: “I was hoping to never see you again.

” I didn't think I'd see you again.

It's different.

It's already a lot if you recognized me.

Actors have good memories.

You want a drink?

I do.

Margo.

- Yes Miss? - There's nothing else for now. You can go.

Well, miss.

You said "Miss".

Have you never married?

No.

Do you live alone?

No.

Where do you come from?

I come from outside.

When did you arrive?

For a couple of days.

Are you holding back?

Depends.

Why did you want to see me?

Two reasons.

To see if it was right for you to give up on me for the theater.

At that time?

It was right. You're very good.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA “Age cannot make her old.

” “Age cannot make her old.

” It seems like it was written especially for you.

And the other reason?

The other reason...

whether or not to agree to go to a party tomorrow night.

A party?

Yes, on Long Island.

From a Senator Bailey.

Do you know Senator Bailey?

No.

But I received an invitation card.

If you don't know each other, why were you invited?

I do not know.

I thought you knew.

I? Why me?

Because you know me.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR -Who is he? - It's me, David.

- No, David. - Can I come in?

No. Wait out there, I'll call you.

- What does Bailey want from me? - Did you come to ask me this?

-Why did you send me an invitation? - I do not know.

Why should I know about your invitation? I don't know anything about it.

What do you want from me? Why did you come? I do not know anything!

Now you're a bad actress.

Who is Senator Bailey?

Senator Bailey is a great financier.

He came to the United States as a poor immigrant and made his

fortune between San Francisco and Los Angeles, where he lived for 30 years.

I know this. It's written in the newspapers. What else do you know?

He married a very rich woman.

With whom he had a son.

She died when the baby was born.

Five years ago he entered politics and moved here.

This is about yesterday and I'm not talking about yesterday, but about now.

Now he's in trouble.

Why don't you tell me that you have been living with him for years and that you are his lover?

Age can make me old, Noodles.

We're two old men, Noodles.

The only thing we have left are some memories.

If you go to that party on Saturday

night, you won't have those left either.

Tear up that invitation.

There is another exit behind the screen.

Get out of there.

Leave now.

Without turning around.

Please, Noodles.

Please get out of there!

Are you afraid I'll turn into a pillar of salt?

If you walk out that door, yes.

(DEBORAH) He is Senator Bailey's son.

His name is David, like you.

A DOOR OPENS

What are you waiting for?

For what, Mr. Bailey?

Sit down, Noodles.

Make yourself comfortable.

I'm glad you accepted my invitation.

Well, I was curious.

So many important people all together.

(MAX) Usually when the ship sinks the mice escape

but in my case they push each other to get on board.

Yes, I read about his troubles in the newspapers.

On the other hand, his position, its power and privileges

carry a certain burden of responsibility

and a certain amount of risk.

Why did he invite me here, Mr. Bailey?

That invitation doesn't mean a damn thing and you know it full well.

He only counts what was in that suitcase.

Money and a message.

It didn't say who on the message.

Haven't you figured it out yet?

You, Mr. Bailey?

I haven't picked up a gun in many years.

I can't see very well anymore, not even with glasses.

My hands are shaking.

- And I wouldn't want to miss it, sir. - Enough of this recitation.

I am already a dead man.

As soon as I put my head out they cut it off, they don't expect anything else.

They'll never let me get to that commission of inquiry.

They know very well that as soon as I open my mouth, they're all in deep shit.

They have to make me disappear.

Now you know why I called you.

You do it, Noodles.

You're the only person I can accept it from.

I found out where you were hiding.

I made you come back for this.

To pay the debt I owed you.

Then you can get out of there.

He takes it straight down to the street. Nobody will see you.

I don't know what you're talking about, she doesn't owe me anything.

Your eyes were too full of tears

to see that that body burned on the road wasn't mine,

but of another.

You were too confused to realize that the police were also in the game.

In perfect agreement with the combination.

You are crazy.

You already told me this, a long time ago.

Instead, I had never been so lucid as I was in that moment.

I stole your life.

And I lived it in your place.

I took everything from you.

I took your money.

Your woman.

I left you with only 35 years of remorse for my death.

Now, what are you waiting for to shoot?

VOICES NOT AUDIBLE

It's true, I've killed people, Mr. Bailey.

Sometimes to defend myself. And sometimes for the money.

Many came to us.

Business rivals, partners, lovers.

In some cases we accepted and in others we didn't.

We would never have accepted his.

Is this your way of getting revenge?

No.

It's just my way of seeing things.

It's 10.25am

and I have nothing left to lose.

A betrayed friend has no choice, he has to shoot.

Just do it.

You see, Senator...

I have my own story too.

A little simpler than his.

Many years ago I had a friend, a dear friend.

I reported him to save his life...

instead he was killed.

He wanted to get himself killed.

It was a great friendship.

It went badly for him and it went badly for me too.

Good night, Mr. Bailey.

I hope that his investigation turns out to be nothing.

It would be a shame for his life's work to go to waste.
