"you got disco." "Something like that." "He's got so many ideas!" "And don't let your hair-brained nephew Vadim screw it up!" "Papa." "Your fur business can support that right now?" "he worries people take advantage of me." "I understand that." "But I think we can do something special and different." "it's a great investment." "I think it's worth looking into." "All right." "So bring some details." "We'll figure out the numbers." " Yeah?" " Okay?" "Good." "I love you." "who is this?" "You are in the presence of the future king of New York." "The future king?"

"Like what?" "Stories." "one of his guys was gonna rat him out." "Cops found his head on Brighton Avenue." " Fucking dick was in his mouth." " Sure it wasn't your dick?"

"Nezhinski must've really put the fear of God in him." " Look that guy knew how they're bringing the product in." " Absolutely." " That's the key." "we're gonna get him..." "We waited till it was your day off." "We had to go." "I'm sorry." "That's it." "You had to hit that spot." "Of all the places you gotta come to my place?" " That's where Nezhinski's been seen." "We supposed to announce it in advance and compromise the whole thing?" "I told you I'm very sorry... act like you own the place." "Got your guys putting shit down my throat!"

" Hey." "We were just about to leave." " How you doing?" " I'm all right." "Made it through the bust okay?" " I'm here." " Good." "Good." "Glad to hear it." "though." "You fucked up the club." "I do what I got to do." "He don't own me." "chasing them around." "all right?" "Nice girl you got there." "One is prettier than the other." "He knows everybody." "He's pretty popular." "huh?" "Listen I got some shit coming in." "And some of us think maybe you could help us get it out there." "My product needs a reputation." "don't you think?" "We got a lot of muscle behind this." "that's right." "You know a cop got hit today?" "Do you think that was a coincidence?" "you know?" "dude." "Mickey Mouse ain't gonna do nothing." "Cop got lucky." "He zigged when he should have zagged." "You sit with them." "Bobby." "The cops they ain't no problem." "So don't worry about it." "We'll get them all." "the body will fall." "Am I right?"

" You heard what Bobby just said." "Burt." "I know that." "You wanna take over my department?" "You wanna run it?" "What do you wanna do?" " I want an answer from you." " Answer for what?" "all right?" "they'd be back on the street in a day." "We gotta catch them with their hands full... then we make the move." " We don't have that much time." " Doesn't matter." "It's the right play." " I say we hit them all." " What?" " Wipe them out." "No survivors." " Don't be a first-class schmuck." " We don't have the time to infiltrate." " That is exactly my point." "Then we make the time." " At whose expense?" " Hold on!" "all right?" "no matter what." "you can only stay warm for so long." "Bobby." "Is there anything else you know or anything you can tell us?" "Nezhinski come in and... that they wanna corner the market." "Why did he tell you this?" "I don't know." "He thought I could help him build a reputation." "Nice friends you got there." "Pop?" "He's not my friend." "All right?" "He came at me." "All right." "I'm not interested in that." "I don't deal." "But didn't you lead him on?" "I didn't fucking lead him on." "The guy's crazy." "He told me I could come look at his operation." " I didn't even ask." " He talked about his operation?" "Maybe that's it." "Maybe that's key." "What's your point?" "We put a Kel on him." "Then send one of our uncles in." "Wait a minute." "Wait." "Who's gonna be the tail?" "forget about it." "No way." "No." "Forget it." "Forget it!" "right?" "And you let him talk." "You let him hang himself." "to the location." "we pop him." "And your name's cleared." "Nobody knows it's you." "it's too dangerous for him." "He's my son." " He's connected to all of us." " No one knows I'm connected to you." " What?" " I don't talk about you." "right?" "Yeah." "leave me alone a minute." "Okay?" "for Joseph." "Pop." "well... right?" "I don't want you to get hurt." "Don't worry about me." "Just worry about yourself." "I'll call you." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "baby." "babe." "How's your father?" "Is he holding up okay?" " Yeah." " Good." "I heard on the television your brother's doing better." "we said a prayer for him." "baby." "Did they find out who did it?" "Baby?" "It was Vadim." "Vadim shot Joseph." "my God." "my God." "They tried to tell me... my God." "what are we gonna do?" "Michael." "Hey." "You been up to see Joe?" "Yeah." "He's doing much better." "They reset his jaw this morning." "He was awake when I left him." "Your old man's up there with him now." "How you doing?" "You can't protect my father." "We'll do the best we can." "Those guys aren't afraid of the police." "If anything should happen to him... that thing you were talking about... what would I have to do?" "I'll call you." "There's a wire in here." "We hear everything that goes down." "so we'd be with you at all times." "Small." "Light as a feather." "You're fucking kidding me." "That's it?" "That's it." "That's the risk." "You just gotta find that stash house." " This can't get out." " It won't." "what if something goes wrong?" "Give me a word." "First word comes to your mind." " Feather." " Okay." "we come in early." "do what you gotta do and get the fuck out." "it better." "we have to put you into protection." "That's better than ending up dead." " Fuck." " Listen nobody will ever know you're involved." "nobody." "And maybe someday your brother will thank you for all this." "Bobby you call Vadim's people and set it up." "but we'll be following your every move." "Don't be a hero." "Don't make conversation." "just remember the word is "feather." "Your life is in that lighter." "Good luck." "Bobkes." "Jesus." "Where you been?" "I left you a message." "I got it." "Thanks." " You all right?" " Yeah." " What's the matter?" "You sick?" "I've been out of it." "I gotta..." "Amada's here." "no." "I gotta take care of something." "I'll call you tomorrow." "All right." "Call me tomorrow." "Please." "See my friends out there?" "Vadim is really glad that you made up your mind." "He's very happy." "You ready?" "Yeah." "You'll meet me at the boardwalk in one hour." "and for ours you'll be searched and blindfolded as we arrive." "You'll be able to sample the product see if you like it." "I'm sure you will." "You will discuss the rest of the details with Vadim." "he doesn't like it." "And for me I'm taking you to the place where I never took anybody before especially no Americans." "And I don't trust you the way Vadim does." "So don't." "All right?" "And if you want to see your girlfriend ever again you will come alone." "Boardwalk." "One hour." "do you?" "Do what you gotta do." "Let me see your hands." "Take this." "Put it on." "What do you think?" "Good." "What do you got there?" "How many keys?" "like three to four months?" "is it?" "We got a whole lot of stuff coming in in a way nobody could ever trace." "at least 86 percent pure." "Sasha." "The whole city will be sucking our glass soon." "We'll push the guineas out." "The Domos will work for us." "It's good." "It's good." "So where's this coming from?" "You're breathing heavy." "because I just took a hit." "I seen fighters breathe like that." "It means they get nervous." " Are you nervous?" " No." "it's because I took some shit." "What do I have to be nervous about?" "They already searched me." "I'm not here to fuck you." "What are you doing?" "How come you got both matches and a lighter?" "I'm feeling light as a feather from that shit." " What?" " Feeling light as a feather from that stuff." "wait." "You were right."
