"It's my life." "I live it my way, and I don't need anything from you." "I don't want your favors, your money, doors open." "I don't want you to tell me who to go out with, and I especially don't like being whistled up here like some puppy dog." "Listen, did you send those applications to the law schools that I told you to?" "You know, my attorneys spent..." "I decided to take English Lit." "English Lit?" "How are you gonna make any money with English Lit?" "What's wrong with you?" "How's your mother?" "My mother?" "You want to know about my mother, why don't you call her up and ask her?" "Hey, how's that Vette runnin'?" "What Vette?" "What do you mean, "What Vette?" Oh, you mean that thing you bought me." "Listen, Sal." "Not for nothin', but why are you doin' these things to me?" "You know I've loved you since the day you were born." "Yeah, right." "Mr. Tubbs, you guys ready?" "Let's go." "Easy, my friend, and you'll reach Social Security." "Miami Vice." "I think it's time to leave, Robin." "How do you like my picture?" "You're Albert Lombard?" "Yeah." "What do you want?" "I have a subpoena here for you to appear before the grand jury." "Fifteenth of this month, 10:00 a.m., Room 329." "Dade County Municipal Building." "You accept it?" "Yeah, yeah." "Here, look, I accept it, okay?" "I got it." "I accept it." "What else do you want?" "I wanna congratulate you." "You've been granted immunity from all prosecution." "All you have to do is answer all our questions about Mr. Librizzi." "Since you can't be prosecuted, you can't incriminate yourself." "Since you can't incriminate yourself, you can't claim the Fifth." "Mr. Lombard, you're gonna do some talkin', or you're gonna do five years on all these contempt citations." "And you talk about my lifestyle?" "Librizzi thinks you're gonna blow the whistle on him." "What, is he nuts or somethin'?" "I never beefed on anybody in my life." "Hey, you don't have to convince me." "You know I've been with you from way back." "You always been a stand-up guy." "That's right, and I don't have to convince him either." "Who the hell is that punk that I have to convince him?" "He oughta know better." "And if he doesn't know better, Charlie, why haven't you told him?" "I have." "What do you think I've been doin'?" "I think, when brains were bein' passed out, he was out to lunch is what I think." "It'd be a whole different ball game if his old man was alive." "Forget about his old man." "You know that's in the past." "He's dead now." "He should've never left his kid in charge." "Yeah, other families have." "How about the Bonanno family?" "Oh, yeah." "Great." "Look what happened to them." "Look, the kid's new, you know?" "He needs reassurance, and I'll take care of it." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Don't worry about nothin'." "That's good, Charlie, because if he thinks I'm gonna beef on him and he questions my honor, it's gonna become his problem, do you understand?" "I'll take care of everything, huh?" "Haven't I always taken care of ya?" "Huh?" "Leave it to me." "Good." "Now, get somethin' to eat." "He's in a no-win position with the immunity deal." "If he testifies, he's chopped meat." "If he doesn't, we put him away on contempt of court citations." "Either way, he's stuck." "I prefer the chopped meat scenario." "I don't." "Glen's on line four, Sonny." "Tell him I'll call him back, Lar." "Switek, Zito, I need you watching Lombard." "Has the press been notified?" "D.A.'s office has been notified and they're handling it." "Stay away from them, please." "Lombard's got such visibility, they'll be like vultures on this story." "Too much visibility." "We want Lombard's testimony on Librizzi, not his dead body in a dead end." "Keep him alive." "Listen, this guy's not gonna rat you out." "It's not in his character." "He's not made that way." "Come on." "Anybody who's facin' a five-year rap for contempt..." "anything's in their character." "He's not gonna rot in the joint." "Who's gonna put gas in his boat?" "Maybe he'll figure out a way to beat that trap." "Yeah?" "How?" "Come on." "Don't be stupid, huh?" "This dude's jealous." "Can't you see that?" "Jealous people are always dangerous." "You know, it's hard for him to accept you as his boss." " Him and your father... they were close." " Hey, come on." "My father's dead." "Now he thinks he's too smart to take orders from a dummy like me, right?" "Huh." "My stomach." " Hey, this business of ours..." "it'll make you an old man before your time." " Yeah, makes you rich pretty fast too." "Hey, listen." "You think you can handle Lombard's action?" "Good." "What are you lookin' at?" "Never see a guy eat a dog before?" "You're a machine." "What?" "Your nose is the hood." "Your eyes are the headlights." "Your mouth is the gas tank, and that dog is your fuel." "Yah!" "I'm tryin' to cut down on my cholesterol, okay?" "Showtime." "Hey, do you know the babe?" "Yeah." "I caught her with an old guy in a motel once." "He was parading' around the room with her on his back, naked." "No kiddin'." "All right, let's go." "He's gettin' ready to leave the boat." "Let's tail him." "I'm tellin' you right now, Stan." "They're not gonna let us in." "It's not how you look." "It's how you project yourself." " We'd like a table for two." " I'm sorry." "You're not properly dressed." "What about that clown?" "He's wearin' shorts." "They're designer shorts." "Listen." "If they wanna make a deal with me, they're gonna have to find me someplace where I can bring my boat, my chef, my girl, everything, right?" "Hello, in the flowers." "If you wanna make a deal with me, you gotta send me someplace I can bring my boat." "They got a little guy under the table takin' notes." "I ate too much." "Listen, thanks for the lunch." "And don't forget, I'll see you guys on the golf course Saturday." "Miami Vice!" "Freeze." "Drop your weapons!" "Miami Vice!" "Drop your weapons!" "Drop it!" "Got me, Stan?" "Got it." "Call an ambulance." "All right, wait a minute." "Let me get this straight." "This is Librizzi's warehouse, and somebody torched it?" "All right, make sure you put that in your report." "Librizzi's gonna go berserk, man." "Good." "Well, that's exactly what this city needs, is another war." "Librizzi gets hit, the man's gonna hit back." "By the way, Lombard just got outta surgery." "He's gonna be all right." "He was wearin' a bulletproof vest." "Took a couple of double-ought bucks in the shoulder." "It's like Rod Stewart says, some guys have all the luck." "How's he gonna earn a livin' now?" "He can get a job like the rest of us." "Yeah." "Right." "Ladies and gentlemen, the names of the greyhounds and their weights for tonight's 11 th race:" "In Purse one, Seed Money, 60." "Two, That's Magic, 66." "In Purse three, M.L. Chase, 60, one half." "Ah, this town's got no class." "Couldn't even shine the Big Apple's shoes." "So where you gonna go next, Augie?" "Reno, Vegas, Atlantic City." "I'm not worried." "Why did Librizzi put a hit on your boss?" "The guy must have brain damage or somethin'." "You know, I remember when we used to slap a guy like that in the head, throw him a beatin', send him home cryin' to his mother." "Now he's a big shot." "I don't understand it!" "World's goin' to the dogs." "Augie." "Sweetheart." "How are ya?" " You guys can't be..." "I'm clean." "Hey, relax." "Nobody's takin' you anywhere." "Yeah, and I ain't sayin' nothin'." "Augie, how many times we caught you dirty?" " Six." " Six?" "Seven?" "Seven?" " Eight, maybe?" " Maybe." "You been to jail yet?" "No." " So?" " So what?" " So what's the word?" " Come on." "Who you kiddin'?" "You know." "Librizzi's top dog." "Lombard's on his way out." "They're off." "Hey." "Pay attention here." "Pay attention here!" "What is it with you?" "I can hear that on the 6:00 news." "All right." "All right." "All right." "And on the back stretch..." "Look, if Lombard was smart, he'd be outta the country right now." " With the lead as they race..." "You've known Lombard a long time, don't you?" "I've known him since I was 17." "Look, I don't know what's goin' down, but I do know he's a stand-up guy." "Everybody's runnin' away from him like he's got the plague." "All right." "You listen." "You hear anything goin'down, you call, you hear?" "Otherwise you'll be on the inside lookin' out." "When you were shot three times, who was in the hospital every day holding' your hand?" "I know, but are you..." "But nothin'." "I was your damned errand boy." "Whatever you want, I got it for you, didn't I?" "Al, you don't understand..." "I understand I needed a favor, and you're nowhere to be found is what I understand." "Go on, get outta here." "Get out!" "Take that thing with you." "Oh, a regular altar boy convention." "What do you want?" "Hi, Al." "Hey, we're not here to give anyone a hard time." "We just came to tell you that we know your boys are pullin' a Houdini act on you." "Your organization's fallin'apart." "And you're out there all alone, my man." "You need our help." "I need you, huh?" "Yeah." "I pay guys 10 times what you make to protect me." "Get a refund." "We wanna put you under protective custody." "Forget about it." "We're all you got." "I never ran from anybody or hid from anything in my life." "Beside, protective custody's a jail cell by another name." "In protective custody, you walk, talk and breathe." "On the street, you're dog meat." "Personally, I don't care whether you live or die." "My job is to keep you alive." "Your choice." "That's right." "It is my choice." "And I choose not to deal with you two." "Ugh." "Al, what are ya doin'?" "You're supposed to be in bed." "Al..." "Get the car." "Go get the car, will you?" "We got business." "Well, listen, pal, you're gonna have to dig a little bit deeper." "L..." "Hold on." "Hold on." "Where do we stand?" "Lombard refused protective custody." "Doesn't surprise me." "One, his people can get him out of the country..." "Yeah, two, he toughs it out here against Librizzi." "Both are dependent upon him holding his organization together." "According to the street, it's a toss-up." "Well, we want him alone and vulnerable... then he needs us." " Could fail either way." " Be there if it does." "Where we goin'?" " Shut up." "Where we goin'?" " Shut up, I said." "I wanna know who set me up." "I wanna know who set me up." "Why don't you try asking him?" "I'm gonna make an example outta you and your friend Librizzi... the old way." "You're history." "Shoot him." "Hey, Al, you don't think I had anything to do with this?" "He gave me his word." "If I did, Charlie, you'd be goin' with him." "Now I want you to set up Librizzi." "Hey, I'll take care of it." "Don't worry about it." "I know you will." "Yeah." " It's all taken care of." "Oh, good." "Now I can enjoy my supper." "Not so good." "It didn't go the way it was supposed to." "You okay?" "Yeah, but I think, uh, you should get outta town for a while." "Oh, I can understand that." "Hard-workin' guy like me can use a vacation." "Yeah." "Make it soon." "I'll get your papers and meet you where you're buildin' the bridge." "All right." "I need about a half an hour, all right?" "You got it." "Yeah." "What is it?" "We're on it." "Lombard's gonna boogie." "I wonder where he's goin' in such a hurry?" " Late movie?" "Crockett, you never bring more than one suitcase to the theater." "Oh, really?" "Charlie, paisan.!" "You don't know how glad I am to have you takin' care of everything for me." "Are all my papers in order?" "Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie." "It's all new, Al." "Nobody move.!" "Miami Vice.!" "Down on your face.!" "Just doin' my job." "We've got to find a safe house for Lombard." "What about the county lockup?" "That's the first place Librizzi's people will look." "Okay." "Bring him in." "I'll get back to you guys in a couple hours." "Zito, Switek, take the roof." "Gina, Trudy, take seven." "It's not the Grand Bay, huh?" "Maybe you'd prefer the Y.M.C.A." "You hungry?" "Yeah, I am hungry." "How about you?" "You hungry?" " Yeah." " Hey, Crockett, you hungry?" "Hey, I'm gonna cook." "Hey, Tubbs." "Yeah." " Uh, go to the store." "Get some, uh..." "some vermicelli, some, uh, Parmesan, some garlic and, uh, parsley." "Okay?" "Don't forget the parsley, all right?" "Yeah, the usual." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "And make sure you get enough for everybody outside." "All right?" " Big sport, huh?" "I just hate cheap guys." "Don't worry about it." "It's on the county." "Hey, Crockett, you're gonna love this vermicelli." "Oh, man, I'm stuffed." "What is it with you Italians?" "You always make a ton of food." "Hey, Tubbs." "Yeah." "In Italy, the people walk around with fresh garlic wrapped around their necks to ward off the werewolves." "You want me to walk around with a jar around my neck?" "When I send you out for fresh garlic, I mean fresh garlic, all right?" "I try to tell the same thing to my son." "He doesn't wanna listen." "He's too educated." "Heh." "Typical immigrant story, huh?" "Nah, I can't kick." "When my father came to this country from Italy, he didn't have two cents to rub together." "Worked 15 hours a day as a gardener to support his family." "Never complained." "Wanted me to be a doctor." "Can you imagine me operatin' on your two skulls?" "Forget about it, right?" "At 21, I was makin' 50 times more than my father, runnin' numbers." "Who says crime doesn't pay?" "It evens out." "You pay a price." "I got a stable full of boats, broads, cars." "And I like all that stuff." "But you do pay a price." "You got a kid in college, huh?" "That's the price." "Close to your boy?" "We never really clicked." "I used to tell him I was a stockbroker." "I'd leave the house with the Wall StreetJournal tucked under my shoulder." "He could never figure out why he couldn't call me at work." "That's the price." "Well, how about some poker?" "Sure, why not?" "A little five card, seven card stud." " How about you?" " I don't gamble." "Oh, my." "Gin." "Didn't you work for Lansky?" "Yeah." "He was, uh, my teacher." "I worked for all of those guys at one time or another:" "Tozzi brothers, Mambrino, even old Vito." "Which one did you like the best?" "Mambrino was my favorite." "The man was a master." "He was like those characters you see on Wall Street, you know?" "When he spoke, everybody listened." "Never had to raise his voice." "He was always number one." "He had a great trick he used to do to the suckers that used to come into his casino." "He would make hot, sizzling Turkish coffee." "Well, before you knew it, the sucker was broke and he never even finished his coffee." "Worked for years." "Hit me." "Ooh." "What is it with you?" "I think this guy cheats." "That's scary, man." "What?" "M.P.B." "What the hell is that?" ""Male Pattern Baldness."" "You're gonna have to start takin' female hormone shots to get rid of that stuff." "I gotta lose this gut." "Stop eating." "Listen, I'm a little stiff." "Can't we go outside for a walk or somethin'?" "Well, okay." "We'll take him out in the courtyard." "Hey, you know, when this is all over, I'm gonna invite you guys on the yacht for a weekend." "What a guy." "Where's Lombard?" "Inside!" "Oh, man." "Oh, man!" "Damn it!" "Thank you." "He never showed up at Librizzi's villa." "Maybe he's out somewhere gathering' his forces." "What forces?" "Where the hell could he be?" "So now I'm supposed to be grateful that after 21 years my father has decided to include me in his life?" "I'm not askin' you to be grateful." "I came here to tell you that I'm sorry, and it's time to get things in order." "Look." "All you ever did was shut me out and send me away." "My feelings didn't count." "After a while, I didn't count." "I was always alone." "I mean, you never even kept in touch enough to let me know whether you were alive or dead." "You never even tried." "That's not true." "Look, Sal, in my own way I was tryin'." "Yeah... tryin' to buy me." "I never wanted you to know what I really did." "I always knew what you did." "From when I was six, I knew what you did." "I promise you, Sal." "You're always in my heart." "Look, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you..." "Yeah." "There is." "I want you to testify." "It's not easy, Sal." "Look, this guy Librizzi's not like you." "Him and all his group are not like you." "They're into venture capital, laundering money, money markets, certificates of deposit." "They have no sense of values." "They don't care." "There's no loyalty." "So what do you owe them?" "Nothing." "You wanna do something for me?" "Stick around and be my father, 'cause I love you, Dad... from the day I was born." "What are you doin'?" "Gettin' my life in order for when I disappear into your Federal Witness Program." "Oh, don't forget to leave the yacht to me." "No, no." "That goes to my son." "If you guys get me to the courthouse safe, maybe... just maybe..." "I'll leave you a couple boxes of cigars." "I don't know yet." "What a guy." "I'm wonderin' what to leave Augie." "Should leave him on his own for once." "Or leave him somethin' that he won't lose at the track." "I'll leave him the Caddy." "That's about it." "Debts, bills, my will." "I feel a lot better." " You a little nervous about tomorrow?" " Nah." "I'm gonna nail him, and I'm gonna enjoy it." "Just be clear and specific in your testimony." "You don't have to brief me." "I know what to say." "I'll take the street against the Ivy League any day of the week, any odds." "The street's the best education you can get." "If you survive it." "I'm beginning to feel like a casualty." "One more night, your babysitting duties are over." "See ya." "Augie, it's good seein' you again, pal." "Yeah." "You too, doll." "So, Augie, where to next?" "Oh, I don't know." "Atlantic City." "Listen." "When I go away, you get the Caddy, right?" "You mean I gotta wait that long?" "And if you're real good, the Mercedes." "Ah." "You." "You still get the cigars." "You know, you and I aren't that different." "Wrong." "I don't murder people." "What are you talkin' about?" "I haven't forgotten about what you did to Barbara Carrow, pal." "Who?" "The mother?" "Five slugs in the back of the head, remember?" "Listen, Crockett, you may not believe this, but that wasn't my idea." "It was, uh, bad for business." "It caused a lot of heat." "Tell it to her children." "Done a lot of bad things, Crockett." "A lot of bad things." "I told the press we'd be there at 9:45." "Let's get there a half hour early." "We're goin'in the back door, right?" "Right." "What about the route?" "It's been changed." "Just follow us." "The more we keep movin', the better." "Let's roll." "Make sure you take care of Elvis." "Tubbs, grab that back line." "Pull it on." "Drop the cases!" "Police!" "Up against the wall." "Up against the wall!" "Spread 'em." "Spread 'em.!" "Move out." "Safe." "Sorry." "Any damage, send us the bill." "Phew." "All rise." "Judge Haber presiding." "Be seated." "Albert Lombard." "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" "I do." "Be seated." "State your name, please." "Albert Lombard." "What kind of work do you do?" "I'm a businessman." "What kind of business?" "I own a few nigh tclubs, a couple other things." "What other things?" "Construction company, trucking company." "Do you know a man named Fredrico Librizzi?" "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that my answer might tend to incriminate me." "Let me repeat the question, Mr. Lombard." "Do you know Fredrico Librizzi?" "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that my answer might tend to incriminate me." "Mr. Lombard, under the immunity agreement, you can be cited for contempt unless you answer the question." "Now, do you know Fredrico Librizzi?" "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that my answer might tend to incriminate me." "Three times they've tried to put you in a coffin, and you've let 'em off the hook." "Are you crazy or somethin'?" "Listen, Crockett, it's not their code I have to live with." "It's mine." "I didn't rat Librizzi out because I don't rat out on anybody." "You got it?" "That's my code, and for better or for worse, that's how I've been and that's how I'll go out." "You know what you're doin', don't ya?" "Okay, pal." "But if I ever catch you dirty, you're mine." "Of course." "It's our business." "It's nothin' personal." "Boy, I hate waitin' around for bondsmen, don't you?" "Oh, man."
