" good to see you." " hey." "Sit down." "Can I get you something?" "A coffee or a bun?" "I'll let you two talk." "So." "I really appreciate you letting me see you." "And you've been so decent about everything since Vito's death." "I just don't know who else..." "All right, all right." "Come on, Marie." " what can I do?" " it's little V." "The social worker says he's just acting out." " social worker?" " boys stuff mostly, but so angry." "Although some of what he's being accused of is just persecution." "They claim that he hung the Petruzzo's cat on their garage door but it's totally unfounded." "well, you know, in a way, it's to be expected, with Vito passing and all that that entrailed." "I think the only solution is to move away from that house and the kids at school." "I figured it out, and I know it's a lot, but for $100,000, we can be someplace where no one knows him or what happened." "My friend Cheryl lives in Orono, Maine, by the university." "And there is this two-story cape, with solid schools." "You always said if there's anything you could do..." "Sure." "Have you talked to his uncle?" " who?" " Phil." "Phil's not his uncle." "Him and I are second cousins." "Before we get too drastic here and uproot little Vito and all of you from your friends and your family," " I should talk to him." " he's impossible to talk to." "It's not easy to substitute for a dad." "I know." "But maybe I can fill in here." "Okay, but you'll think about it?" "Believe me, I'm gonna take care of you, and he's gonna be okay." "Well..." "Apparently Vito jr. 's a whack job." "No surprise there." "Family history?" "She wants $100,000 for a change of scenery." "That never works." "She should get him a dog." "I don't think that's a good idea." "The point is how the fuck is this my problem?" "Hmm?" "Because I'm the boss of the family?" "Where the fuck is Phil Leotardo?" "He created the situation by clipping Vito to begin with." "My best fucking earner." "Now second time around I'm getting my pocket picked." "Not to mention he's his uncle or cousin or whatever the fuck." "Not your problem." "I agree." "I agree, Jim." "I argued against the on-side kick." "Let's face it, they rarely work." "Yet here they are, the overworked bucs d falling apart as the Bills, with that play, are inside the 30 and loaded for goal." " let's go." "Come on, come on." " just watch." " Bills get another seven." " you think?" " nah, I say a quick field goal wins it." " absolutely." "They'll choke." "That's what they do." "You got Buffalo, right, T?" "No, line is three." "I'll settle for a push." "Buffalo!" "Fucking go for it!" "Third and two, the snap." "Losman's back, he hands it off..." " fumble!" "Ball is with him." "Buffalo recovers." " no!" " fumbled again!"

"Jesus Christ, it's 11:30." "Ready to call it?" "An hour ago." "I saw him bring dean and Jerry back together." "I was there at the telethon." "I cried." "You leaving already?" "Yeah, it's late." "Got a long hike to Jersey from here." "Sure, I used to drive it myself." "No more, though." "I'll be right back." "Congratulations again." "Listen, I gotta bring this up." " a favor already?" " excuse me?" "Tony, you always have business on your mind." "Take a night, smell the cognac." "Marie Spatafore came to see me." "She wants $100,000 to relocate on account of Vito jr. already has his own social worker." "Patty told me there was doings." "I guess the turd doesn't fall far from the faggot's ass." "That's beautifully put, but you're family, right?" "Cousins?" "What can you do?" "Throw money at the problem?" "Well, somebody's gonna." "I'll talk to the kid," " set him right." " good." "You two going home together?" "How the fuck are you?" "Fucking prostate keeping me pissing all night." "I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy." "Nu?" "I talked to Phil about the split on the MRI centers." "Your cut is on the way." "So is Christmas." "You should have heard him tonight." " comments, smug." " really?" "Worries me." "I thought we were getting along pretty good finally, you know, considering." "Could be the hubris, making boss." "But I still think it's what went down with his brother Billy." "I thought all that got buried with your cousin." " eh." " you enjoy the dinner?" " I left right after." " oh yeah?" "I don't know." "I look at my key guys..." "Paulie, Christopher, my brother-in-law..." "What's number one on their agenda?" "They're all fucking murderers, for Christ's sake." "Lonely at the top, boychik?" "What I'm trying to say is..." "It's nice being here." "Always is." "Oh!" "I brought you something." "Cover up that dome." "Actually, I was expecting something else." "What, the fucking dvd?" "Honestly, it's a very unflattering portrait of italian-americans." "No, I was thinking maybe some of the $200,000 I loaned you?" "Oh, Jesus." "Yeah, that's right." "I know it's covered." "It's just after a while with no vig..." "You know, I lost track." "I'm glad you didn't." " I don't wanna be a stickler." " no." "Anthony, come on." "No, it's okay." "It's okay." "I got about $3,000 here." "Point and a half good?" " no, come on, fuck this." " you gotta have it." " don't want you eating cat food." " come on, stop it." "I don't gotta have it." "I don't want a vig from you." "No, come on." "I should have been on it." " you sure?" " Jesus Christ, are we good or what?" "Well, it's late." "I should be getting back." "You should get back to pissing, or whatever." "I lend the guy money." "Suddenly I'm the schmuck." "Why does he need your money?" "Why?" "To cover his nut." "Between his gambling and the lifestyle, and that boat... $3.2 mil." "I warned him." "It has absolutely no resale value whatsoever." "Does he listen?" "Heh." "I've lent lots of money." "Once the chiseling starts..." ""ooh, I forgot. "" "who forgets?" "Fuck him." "This is why I don't like you seeing him before bed." "You're all upset." "Makes a big show of giving me a vig." "$3,000 a week." "You got a lot of jews in your business, right?" "My business?" "Yeah, this." "You gotta hand it to them, when it comes to money..." "In my experience," " that's nothing more than an ugly stereotype." " really?" "I got a friend, let me tell you, you tie a krugerrand to a fishing line, you're gonna land him." "Right up on the dock." "Doesn't sound like you think of him as a friend." "Come on." "We go way back." "But that didn't stop him from busting my fucking balls because I owe him some money." "Anyway, I needed a little bridge loan to cover some of the gambling losses we've been talking about." " still?" " you know, good money after bad." " why not just stop?" " big part of my life." "I know, but you've been talking about it a lot." "Well, you lose sometimes." "You gotta act like it hurts a little more than it does, you know, for your guys." "But if you're gonna lose, what's the fucking point, huh?" "So you need the risk." "What are you chasing?" "Money or a high from winning?" "Before we end, there's something I need to bring up." "You miss a lot of appointments." "Excuse me, I always give you the required notice or I pay for the hour." " that's not my point." " well, I get busy." "It's my fault." "I've condoned it for a long time." "I haven't had a panic attack since my uncle shot me." " did you notice that?" " yes." "Well, it must be nice to know everything." "Is that the only reason why you're here?" "The panic attacks?" "No." "This is an..." "Oasis in my week." "So this is vacation?" "No, I benefit in many ways." "Decide if you wanna keep coming, but know there are protocols that have to be followed or I won't be able to continue." "Okay, I will."

"You make me sick." "So?" "What's it gotta do with you?" "Listen, pally, you need to be rebellious." "I raised kids." "I get it." " good for you." " you want a smack too?" "You ever think what this is doing to your mother, what she's been through, how you're upsetting her?" "She's just embarrassed." "She cries for you."
