""Eliminate all logic from the equation and start from there,"" "especially when you're dealing with the Irish." "[Chuckles]" "But here's a question." "How does Patton figure into all of this?"

" Yeah, sure." "Of course I do." "All right." "Listen, I want you to go see him and pick us up somemore guns." "I'll give him a call, he'll be expecting you." "Alright?" "Of course." "And I'll go with you when you go after Rusty if you need." "Just so you know." "What did I say?" "Don't worry about it, alright?" "Just keep your freakin' mouth shut and don't tell nobody that I spoke to you." "Yeah, okay." "I'll go pick up the guns and I'll be here waiting for you." "Yeah, what about my cousin Bobby?" "Huh?" "Did he come back?" " No he didn't come back." " Perfect." "Hey you better be lying right where I left you." "I'll see you soon." "Whoo!" " Good evenin' family." " Hello." "Hey Dad." "How's everybody doing?" " Good." " All right." "You got a *** honey?" "***" "Huh." "Try it with groceries." "Ow, just leave the bag out." "I'll wash it with the clothes in the morning." "Actually, no need." "I didn't make it to the court today." "So..." "By the way, I'm looking at a house in Queens tomorrow." "Your mother found it for us." "My mother found us a house in Queens?" "Please explain." "Your father told her to work for us." "Even said he'll help with the down payment." "Isn't that sweet of him?" " Yeah." "Yeah, he's a regular sweetheart." " Mm-hmm." "What about James?" "He make it home tonight" "He is in his room, reading." " Wow." " Yep." "Lots of changes around here." "And more coming every day." "What about these two?" "They do their homework yet?" "Yes, they did." "Make a little room, will ya?" "So, how are you doing?" "Pretty good." "How are you doing, Dad?" "I'm doing all right." "What, are you still reading "Studs Lonigan" there?" "No, I finished that." "This is "The Young Manhood."" "You're pretty impressed with this character, aren't you?" "I mean, yeah, a little bit." "Yeah, I was, too, when I was your age." "But you will see, like all skells, he gets his in the end." "Is mom really going to look at a house tomorrow?" "This is the first I'm hearing of it." "But don't concern yourself with that." "I'm just happy to hear that you did well on your test." "Now you see, James, that's all it takes, is a little bit of effort." "It's like your jump shot." "If you put in the hard work, it will pay off." "Now what'd you do after practice?" "We just hung out in the school yard with some girls." "Huh?" "'Cause you smell like cigarettes." "You know that?" "Some of the kids were smoking." " But not you?" " No." "Let me smell your breath." "All right. [Sighs]" "I'm proud of you." "Good work." "And as promised, here are those Knick tickets." "But you can go on one condition... you take your brother as well, all right?" "Yeah, absolute." "Absolute-ly." "It's an adverb." "[Door opens] King:" "Hey!" "Hey there, Uncle Lonnie!" "[Chuckles]" "Detective Foster... my nephew I was telling you about." "Congratulations, kid." "Your uncle just told me about that jewelry store collar you had." " Mm-hmm." " That ain't shit." "Tell him about the car thief you mowed down in Inwood." " I was just doing my job, Uncle Lonnie." " Doing your job?" "He hit that punk square in the middle of the forehead from 40 yards away with a .357" "Magnum." "Son, what the hell you doing carrying that kind of gun?" "Well, I find it's pretty accurate." "[Laughs]" "Roy, the detective here is part of that special detail we was talking about." "I just wanna make sure you're down with what we discussed." "Like you told me, we take care of our own, right?" " And I'm down with that." " This ain't no joke, youngster." "If you're in, you're all in." "I understand, sir." "I'm all in." "And whatever happens," " you take to your grave." " Understood." "All right, then go get out the bag." "We'll pick you up at your mama's around midnight." "Yes, sir." "Your money's no good now." "We got this." " Thank you, sir." " Midnight." "Yes, sir." "I think we got a winner." "I think we do." "Cole:" "Who is it?" "Teresa." "[Lock clicking]" "It's all right, Pop." "You know what he wants these for, right?" "Yeah." "You should tell him it's a stupid idea." "He knows what he's doing." "Give me the guns." "[Scoffs] You got the money?" "Got anything else in there for me?" "Give me the guns." ".38 and a .22 in here." "Tell him that's all I can get." "You, uh, you wanna go up on the roof with me?" "[Laughs]" "Pendejo." "What, no besos for me?" "No." "[Door opens, closes]" "[Coin clinks, dial tone]" "[Rotary dial whirring]" "[Telephone rings]" "Truck and storage." "Hey, Rusty, it's Cole Sutter." "Listen, I think I know where you can find Richie Kane." "No shit." "Where's that?" "You know that Puerto Rican chick from 44th street?" "Teresa Lopez." "Well, she just bought some guns for him." " You know her?" " Yeah, I know her." "Listen, I think she knows something." "Does she?" "Sorry for her." "Hey, Cole?" "I owe you one." "[Receiver clatters]" "I think we just found out where we can find that piece of shit Richie Kane." "Your father doesn't want any more bloodshed, Rusty." "Well, too bad about him." "He doesn't understand this is how shit needs to be done now." "It's not a good idea, Rusty." "Best to leave this one alone." "What are you talking about?" "You taking the big guy's side all of a sudden?" "I'm not taking any sides." "I'm just telling you we need to let things settle down a little bit." "You sure about that?" "'Cause it sounds like you're taking sides." "I'm not takin' sides." "It's just not the right time." "Yeah?" "[Chamber clicks]" "I'll tell you when the time is right." "[Men speaking indistinctly]" "Why y'all cats so Blue?" "Hmm?" "'Cause Sonny been taking y'all money all night." "[Laughing]" "King:" "Sonny Blue?" "That was a punk-ass move." "What you talking about?" "You gonna find out." "Take him." "Wait, what... aah!" "[Grunting]" "Get... get off me, man!" "Get off me!" "Let me... get off me... what..." "[Sonny grunting]" "Gentlemen..." "I don't need to remind you that this never happened, right?" "[Grunting]" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hey." "Hey." "You sons of bitches don't know who you're messing with." "[Grunting]" "Can't play guitar with two broken hands, and you can't sing with a broken jaw." "And you damn sure can't dance with a broken leg." "I don't want him walking out of here." "You heard the man." "You got it." "[Panting]" "[Both grunting]" "I think we may have found a new member for the team." "I think you might be right." "[Labored breathing]" "[Soft thud]" "[Murmurs]" "[Knock on door]" "Who is it?" "[Door bangs open] [Screams]" "Shut your whore mouth." "[Beads clatter]" "Where the hell is Richie Kane?" "He's not here." "But he's coming back, and when he does, you're a dead man." "Oh, I think you got that all wrong, sweetheart." "See, your friend Richie's the one who's not long for this world." "You think you're some kind of a tough guy?" "[Speaks spanish]" "You shot and killed a woman." "What kind of a tough guy is that?" "You got a mouth on you." "You just don't like what I'm saying 'cause I'm speaking the truth." "Your dad... he knows the code." "You're not supposed to kill regular people, and you're especially not supposed to kill women." "I do things a little different from my father." "So what are you gonna do?" "Shoot me, too?" "Nah." "I'm not gonna shoot you."
