"No!" "LUCY:" "Why don't you go hang out with him?" "Yeah, you do it." "My back." "Get in there." "Yeah, yeah!" "Please, Lucy, it's very important for Eddie to come in." "Open the..." "Open the fucking door!" "Where is he?" "Eating with the Italian fellow." "I didn't want to say nothing, but this Rothstein's a cheater." "Honestly, if he wasn't who he is, they'd have found him in a fucking alley." "Well, he is who he is." "That's why I called." "You fellows ever hear of sleep?" "Who can sleep with all this excitement?" "I heard you had a lucky streak." "Luck had nothing to do with it." "I'm a skilled player is what he means." "That's what I hear." "So?" "What's all this about cutting me off?" "It's not that. lt's a small house." "We just can't handle your kind of action right now." "Your credit's good with me." "Why don't we get to know each other better?" "I don't think I like what I'm hearing." "Maybe you shouldn't be listening to the grown-ups' conversations." "How is that?" "Charlie, sit down." "Charlie, Charlie." "As of now, you owe me 93 grand." "Less 60 for tonight's load, knocks it to 33." "So you could keep playing, then." "I don't gamble where l don't feel welcome." "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Cash him out." "Thompson, right?" "Heard you're familiar with my wife." "Pardon?" "My wife." "Margaret." "You drove her home." "Where'd you get that money?" "What business is that of yours?" "That money belongs to your wife." "So it was you who give it to her." "Here, you prick. I'm winning anyway." "Toss him the fuck out." "All right, we went over the rules in the locker room." "I want a good, clean fight." "No holding, no low blows, break when I tell you." "Now touch gloves and come out fighting." "(laughing)" "Hit him!" "Fucking hit him." "MAN:" "Keep your right up." "Hook, jab, jab, jab." "If I was you I'd bet on the little guy." "What are you doing here?" "l'm a fight fan." "What else?" "So how much you know about this haul that's coming in tonight for Rothstein?" "Tell ya, for a fellow good-looking as me, I sure do get the homely girls." "I don't mind the homely ones, especially when they're dumb." "I love the dumb ones." "My girl is so dumb, she thought that daylight savings was a bank." "My girl is so dumb, she thinks Long lsland Sound makes a noise." "It's true!" "Thank you, thank you." "That worked better than this afternoon." "You're a wonderful crowd." "My girl is so, so dumb, she thought that iceberg was a Yiddish name." "My girl is so dumb, she tried to buy plum pudding from a plumber." "All right, let's go." "No, it's true." "Had him running all over town." "Something else about my girl." "She was so dumb, they finally had to burn down the schoolhouse to get her out of the second grade." "They let her pose for the class photo, but, oh, boy, was she homely." "You've heard of crocodile shoes?" "Well, she had a pair." "With a complexion to match!" "I took her to visit the zoo." "Why, the zookeeper thanked me for bringing her back." "Lovely family, though." "Very nice girl." "Lovely family." "Her poor father died of throat trouble." "They hung him." "Her poor brother, lovely chap, but he's gone, too." "With good behavior he should be back in about 10 years." "He used to work in a bank, but no matter how much the boss likes you, you can't work in a bank and take home samples." "Oh, no!" "Pretty fucking obvious now, ain't it?" "(BAND playing)" "Okay!" "jimmy:" "Get their guns." "You're fucking dead." "You're fucking as good as dead!" "All of youse!" "Shut your yap." "Easy, easy, don't get rattled." "(BRANCH SNAPS)" "What's that?" "What?" "(BRANCH SNAPS)" "That." "The fucking wind." "Relax." "(GASPS)" "The woods, get him, get him!" "Come here, you son of a bitch!" "(sighs)" "(GUN cocking)" "What the..." "(GUN fires)" "Darmody!" "Jimmy!" "Did you get him?" "Yeah." "What the fuck was that?" "The fucking deers." "Go on, get in the car." "Go on, scram!" "Come on, let's go." "Beat it." "HANS:" "Got something to say now, huh?" "Fucking whore!" "(MARGARET screaming)" "(GLASS SHATTERS)" "(HANS GRUNTlNG)" "MARGARET:" "Please stop!" "(children crying)" "(groaning)" "(sobbing)" "(JAZZ music playing)" "I would love to get married one day." "I am very, very sorry." "Excuse me for one moment." "He is always talking on the phone." "Hello." "ell:" "It's me." "What?" "It's me." "We got a problem." "All right, I'll be right there." "(ALL clamoring)" "Fellas, fellas, no leads or arrests!" "How many bodies were found?" "officer:" "Nothing has been confirmed at this time!" "As soon as we know something, we'll make an official statement." "ELl:" "Four bodies, blood everywhere." "It was like a fucking firing squad." "No sign of the truck?" "In a goddamn election year." "The Feds onto this yet?" "No." "Hands still full with the funeral home." "Cusick's probably having a stroke." "You know the imbecile changed his name to Doyle?" "(SCOFFS) Don't ask." "You know, the peculiar thing is that at the same time the Feds are raiding Mickey, this shit is happening three miles away." "Ain't that a coincidence?" "So do you want to say it or should I?" "It could be Rothstein himself set it up." "All right, so who knew about the load?" "Me, obviously, Torrio." "Jimmy?" "Who's mysteriously gone missing all of a sudden." "All right, bring him in." "Hey, Ange, sorry. I know it's late." "Jimmy in?" "No, I haven't seen him in hours." "I thought he was at work." "Sorry to disturb you." "When he comes home, tell him Nucky's looking for him." "Well, now I'm getting concerned." "Probably ran into a friend." "War buddy maybe." "Do you think it could have something to do with the men that picked him up?" "Beg your pardon?" "There is no comment." "Now you must stop ringing!" "Cocksucking reporters." "If they want a statement, tell them to call the mayor." "Even reporters ain't that stupid." "I'll give them a statement later." "I can't get over it. lt don't make sense." "Doesn't it?" "Come on, Eli, Jimmy?" "He gives the Feds the funeral home, -(PHONE ringing) throws them off the scent." "Meantime, he's out pulling this job." "Not how, why." "Why?" "Because he's greedy." "Jealous probably, too." "That's the way people are, Nucky." "Arnold Rothstein." "I'm very sorry, Mr. Thompson is not available." "He would very much like you to call him back." "Where are you going?" "To get some air." "Mr. Thompson, I was just coming to see you." "I'm sorry, I'm late for a meeting." "I really just wanted to drop this off." "I'm on my way to the hospital." "Nothing serious, I hope?" "One of our members, Mrs. Schroeder." "She suffered an injury." "Lost her child." "What was the manner of injury?" "I'm really not at liberty to say." "Commodore?" "Mr. Nucky here to see you." "Well, send him in, for God's sake." "Quite the shitstorm you got on your hands, eh, Mr. Treasurer?" "Well, good morning to you, too." "These bodies in the woods, I assume belong to your friend in New York?" "Rothstein's men." "I don't understand why you got involved." "Yes, you do!" "It was a favor to Chicago." "That, plus Rothstein's numbers were right." "Till he buggered you in the ass." "Fucking Rothstein." "By Henry fucking Ford." "I think my problems go beyond world finance." "What a fucking night." "It's seven years today." "Mabel." "I'd just gone to jail." "Not a day goes by, I'll tell you that much." "Maybe she's better off." "The Feds will be all over this thing." "I can't have dead bodies lying around on the road." "Bad for business." "You gotta give them someone." "Let 'em make an arrest." "It's Jimmy." "Get the fuck..." "This?" "Left me holding the bag." "What a fucking little prick." "I never knew he had it in him." "Jimmy?" "(chuckling) Fucking Jimmy." "jimmy:" "Nucky" "Nuck!" "l take you back." "Nucky." "l give you a job..." "Listen." "...and this is how you fucking repay me?" "Last night was not supposed to happen like that, Nuck." "Make sure you mention that to Rothstein as he's cutting your nuts off." "It's all gonna get straightened out, Nuck." "I promise." "Are you that stupid?" "Have no fucking idea how in over your head you are?" "l know it's an awful..." "Did I not tell you to slow down?" "I tried to give you money. I tried... I tried to tell you I'm not a kid anymore!" "And killing and fucking larceny?" "That makes you a man?" "No." "(sighs) You got brains, kid." "You had a future." "Look, I still got a future." "We both do." "The war, Nuck, the things I did over there?" "You live in a trench for months on end." "The killing, the smell of death." "Nucky, I'm nothing but a murderer." "You know how many times I went over the top?" "They call me a fucking hero." "The truth is I didn't care anymore." "I didn't care." "You're home now." "You got a family." "l'm going to hell, Nuck." "Knock it off." "No, I am." "You are not." "l'm 22 years old." "I see fellas like fucking Luciano with a fancy suit with fucking diamonds." "ls that what you want?" "That's what you want, too!" "That's what... lt's what we all want." "At least I got the gumption to take it." "You'd be very foolish to underestimate me, James." "I could have you killed." "Yeah, but you won't." "Look, you can't be half a gangster, Nucky." "Not anymore." "Let me help you." "What the fuck is this?" "lt's your share for last night." "I didn't ask for this." "You didn't have to." "Sir, we need you to come with us." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Get in there!" "(Italian aria playing)" "Sir!" "Please." "Surely you're making a mistake." "(groaning)" "Getting cold?" "Are you kidding me?" "(CROWD gasping)" "REPORTER:" "The Atlantic City Sheriff's Department has confirmed that a body found caught in a fisherman's net this afternoon is that of Hans Schroeder, a local man who went missing yesterday." "Stop." "Schroeder, who worked occasionally as a baker's helper, had been sought in connection with Saturday night's bloody roadside massacre." "Stop." "CANTOR:" "Maestro, can I have my note, please?" "A note for Eddie." "(violin holding NOTE)" "(CANTOR tuning voice)" "This time it's a ballad." "(UPBEAT prohibition SONG playing)" "Hello."
