"How you doing?" "That's for you." "You sure you're up for this?" "Yeah." "So, uh, see you tonight, right?" "Yeah." "Everything all right?" "Yeah." "So, I'll see you tonight." "Okay." "What happened to you?" "What does it look like?" "I don't know." "I had this pit bull, right?" "Joe." "Joe the dog." "I go to feed the fuck, right?" "I put his bowl down, he goes nuts." "Bites my fuckin' thumb off." "19 stitches." "I'm in the hospital three days." "I get out." "I get my gun." "I go to him," ""You like to bite things?" "Bite this."" "I put the fuckin' gun in his mouth." "Barn!" "I blow him all over the fuckin' apartment." "You ever see a dog explode?" "They're here." "This neighborhood's a real shit hole." "I don't know why you had to meet up here." "We'll do the next meeting at Tavern on the Green for you, all right?" "How you doing, Noonan?" "I'm cold." "Let's get this over with." "Fine, let's see the stuff." "Show him." "Let's see the money." "We're gonna take this at a little discount." "Oh, man, I knew this shit was gonna happen." "This is fuckin' bullshit." "What are you gonna do?" "What are you gonna do?" "Are you gonna shoot me?" "Huh?" "No, I wanna shoot him." "Don't point that gun at me, man." " We're gonna walk away." " This is bullshit." "You got the bag." "Give me the fuckin' bag." "I don't wanna shoot." "I wanna shoot you." "That's all right with me." "You shoot him." "I'm gonna take the stuff and get the fuck out of here." "Did you hear what I said?" "Give me the fuckin' bag!" "Don't be a fool." "Give me the bag, man." "Do you wanna die, man?" "Shut the fuck up!" "Let's go!" " You want me to shoot him?" " Go ahead." "I don't give a fuck." "I'm gonna fuckin' shoot you right now." "Give me the fuckin' bag!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Do you wanna fuckin' get shot right now?" "Give me that fuckin' bag!" "Jesus Christ, now what?" "What happened back there, huh?" "Nothing, right?" "Nothing?" " Huh?" " No!" "No!" "Do you know me?" " Do you know me?" " No, I don't know you!" "All right, put me in a subway station." "Go!" "He's wearing a silk suit." "He's got crocodile shoes." "So I said, "Listen"," ""I don't care what fuckin' shoes you're wearin',"" ""you're still a fuckin' crack dealer."" "The guy says to me," ""Hey, man, I didn't know I was in your neighborhood, man."" "You know, like his balls were in his fuckin' throat." ""Don't go to pieces," I tell him." "And then he gets the joke." "Who the fuck is this?" "What do you want?" "Whatever you're having." "Hey!" "Fuck you." "What, you trying to hurt my feelings?" "Not going to introduce me to your friends?" "Nothing?" "Terry." "Well, that took you fuckin' long enough." "Terry Noonan." "Terry." "Terry Noonan." "Hey, motherfucker." "You fuckin'..." "Come here!" "Hey!" "Oh, where you fuckin' been, man?" "Oh, man!" " Oh, it's great to fuckin' see you!" " Hey." "This is my best fuckin' friend." "I love this fuckin' guy!" "Where've you been?" "Fuckin' Mars?" "You're lookin' good." "Would you excuse us?" "I gotta take my lord here for a stroll." "Gotta talk to you." "I need some help." "You want to go somewhere?" " Yeah." " Okay." "Hey, catch you guys later, all right?" "Come here!" "Where'd our fuckin' neighborhood go?" "I don't even recognize the place." "A bunch of yuppie condos or something." "They could have left at least 10 blocks for the Irish." "You know, they don't even want to call it Hell's Kitchen no more." "Renamed it "Clinton."" "Sounds like a fuckin' steamboat." "These guys you dropped..." "The guy you were with..." "This, uh..." "My partner?" "DeMarco." "DeMarco?" "Can you trust him?" "He might as well have done it himself, Jack." "Who's he gonna tell?" "Who's he gonna tell?" "Anybody he fuckin' wants." "Terry, this, uh, this guy, this DeMarco..." "He gets into a little trouble with the cops, right?" "He'd trade everything he knows about you for a fuckin' slice of pizza." "Huh?" "Wake up." "Would you ask Mikey for me if he'd throw me something?" "Mikey met with a little accident." "So did Flynn." "Frankie's running the show now." "Frankie's the boss?" "My big brother is the boss." " Frank's the boss?" " Yeah." "He's trying to put this deal together with the Italians." "This, uh, this guy Borelli." " Joe Borelli?" " You heard of him?" "We're like that." "You want another beer?" "I'd love one." "Oh, one." "Cheers." "Your sister still around?" "Nah, Kate moved way the fuck uptown." "You wouldn't recognize her." "Yeah?" "Terry, check this out." "What the..." "What the fuck is that?" "It's, uh..." "It's Frankie's idea." "You got your favorite gun, right?" "He got so sick and tired of tossing away a perfectly good piece after every job." "You take your hands..." "And, uh, you take your gun..." "You put the prints on the gun." "You stash it." "The cops find the gun." "They're looking for a dead man." "This is somebody's hands?" "What are you touching them for?" "Terry, meet Flynn." "No, don't fuck with me." "No!" "Hey, don't!" "Don't!" "Don't!" "What are you touching them for?" "That's somebody's hands!" "Are you scared?" "Get the fuck..." " "All right, hands up!"" " Put 'em back." "They're in." "They're in." "Look, they're in, all right?" " You're a sick pup." " I know." "Let me see this." "You're a very sick pup." "What's this?" "Come here." "That's sweet." "You see this gun I got here?" "I love this fuckin' gun." "I missed." "I usually shoot straight when I'm drunk." "You mean you were aiming?" "Thank God you're back, man." "I was starting to feel like the last fuckin' Irishman in the Kitchen." "Terry, you've been away too long." "You gotta wake up." "Never do business with a greaser." "The cops get him, they got an eyewitness." "And an eyewitness puts you away, unless it's around here." "The cops, they can't do shit around here." "Now, me and Frankie took this union guy out last year." "Just walked up to him on the street." "Popped his button." "There must have been 50 witnesses." "Cops were all over the Kitchen asking questions." "This one asshole raised his hand." "The cops found this guy's head spinning around inside a washer-dryer over on 47th." "Haven't heard from the cops in a year." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Can you explain one thing to me, Jackie?" "Where the hell were you?" "Kate." "I waited for you, you know." "You said you'd come by." "I did?" "When?" "You don't even remember?" "At my apartment." "You shouldn't have moved so far away." "She moved all the fuckin' way uptown." "Who can get there?" "That's right." "You get above the 50s, you get disoriented." "Hello, Kathleen." "Well..." "It's Terry Noonan." "He showed up." "Look what the cat dragged in." "How are you?" "I thought you were..." "Where'd we think he was?" "Nobody knew." "So what, you got nostalgic for mayhem?" "Yeah, he just appeared." "It's like angels were flying by, so they dropped him off." "What?" " What do you mean, "What"?" " Well, you got this look." "What's this look?" "I'm trying to remember how I feel about you." "That hard?" "Yeah, right." "I think I'm pissed." "Yeah, you guys were..." "Young." "Very young." "Oh, she cried a lot when you went away, Terry." "My poor little sister." "She was either crying every night or praying the rosary you'd come back." "You broke her heart, Terry." "You're such an asshole, Jackie." "What did I do?" " I gotta go." " Hey." "Stay." "Come on." "Have some coffee." "You just got here." " Come on, stay." " I gotta go to work." "Come on." "I never see you." "Just for a minute." "Terry was asking about you." "Yeah?" "What do you wanna know?" "She works up at the regent hotel." "Ashtray in the lobby costs more than my fuckin' car." "It's a supernatural event for her to come down here amongst us." "So what was it I forgot?" "You said it'd be no trouble doing that favor I asked you." "You see, my car got hit by a cab." "I had to use up all my money to pay for it." "I have nothing to live on till payday." "I can loan you right now." "She likes our money, she just don't like the way we get it." "Why don't you keep it?" "Keep your money." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have said that." "You know, but sometimes my feelings get hurt too, you know?" "The way you snub us." "Take the money, Kathleen." "Come on, take it." "All right, thank you, Jackie." "You're welcome." "So," "Terry..." "Are you just passing through?" "No." "He's coming home." "We're trying to work something out." "Well, if you get above the 40s, maybe you'll run into me." "It could happen, right?" "Mmm." "Be up to the angels, I guess." "Mmm." "Them fucks." "Well, nice to see you." "I guess." "Same." "My mother-in-law's got this fuckin' foot thing." " I gotta pay for it." " His mother-in-law's got this foot thing." "I'm telling you, she's in the hospital right now." " It isn't up to me, all right?" " He wants this yesterday." "You haven't been around." "Hey, Stevie!" "I got a surprise for you!" "Don't bother me." "I'm negotiating." " Hey, negotiator!" " I don't believe this." "Terry fuckin' Noonan!" "Where the fuck have you been, man?" "Well, fuck, look at you." ""Scary Terry." What the fuck is this?" "What, did you go to a seminary or something?" "You don't call nobody." "He's bigger than me now." "Fuckin' guy." "Goddamn right, man." " It's been a long time." " Been like 10 years." " 12 years." " Hey." "Yo." "We're doin' business here." "Hey, Stevie, 300 bucks here, Stevie." "Ain't even gonna cut it." "Hey, Stevie, where'd you find these two fuckin' idiots?" "They come looking for me deliberate, Jack." "You know, they take my money." "I work my ass off for this money and they just take it." "Listen, this punk owes Jimmy Cavello eight grand." "Eight grand?" "What's that, you know?" "Cavello's got cuff links cost more than that." "Eight grand is eight grand." "It buys Jimmy a Broadway ticket, okay?" " Come on, Stevie." " What, you guys don't get your spumoni, you take it out on the waiter?" "What do we have here?" "Another mick to contend with?" " What's going on?" " What?" " You heard what I said." " Where you fuckin' been?" "The last guinea who walked around up here was fuckin' Columbus." "And he only lasted a week." "What are you, some kind of fuckin' asshole?" "Or are you just taking lessons?" "I'll kill you." "Get out of here, Jack!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "You wanna fuck with me?" "You wanna do that?" "What do you wanna do, asshole?" "Play it out, or what?" "Let's straighten this out here." "Tommy!" "Tommy, it's over!" "It's over, man!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Cocksucker!" "Who do you think you're fuckin' with, huh?" "Who the fuck do they think they're fucking with?" "You'll be hearing from Jimmy Cavello, Stevie." "I hope that was your favorite gun." "I hope you loved that gun." "You micks don't know who you fucked with." "You motherfucker." "Fuck 'em." "Fuckin' guys." "You got it all?" "You guys are better than the fuckin' cavalry, man." "You saved my ass from the guineas there." "They was gonna burn you at the stake." "Hey, man, I'm glad you're back." "I missed you." "I missed you, too." "We're gonna take this town apart on Saint Patty's Day, right?" " Fuckin' A." " Hey, Stevie, there's a horse running on the first called "Old Friend Arrives."" "No shit!" "Look at this." "First you save my ass, now you're gonna win me some money." "I love you, Terry." "I gotta go." "O.T.B. opens in 10 minutes." "Hey, today's my lucky day!" "See you later." "His lucky?" "The luckiest day he ever had, his fuckin' dog got run over." "Is he fucked up or is he fucked up?" "I wouldn't let him operate on me." "You'd have to be dead two years first." "I'm gonna call Frankie about taking you on." "We'll probably have to go to Jersey though, to see him." "Jersey?" "Frankie lives in Jersey?" "Yeah." "What's the fuckin' world coming to?" "I wanna have kids." "I just gotta find the right broad like Frankie did." "You know, the kind of chick wouldn't mind me fuckin' around on the weekends but still makes pancakes before Sunday mass." " Like Irene, maybe." " Who's Irene?" "You gotta meet her, man." "I spend one night with her, my eyes are crossed for days." "I'm walking into walls." " I'd like to meet her." " She's mine, though." "Uncle Jackie!" "Hey!" "Come here!" "Look what the fuckin' cat dragged in, man." " Nice to see you, Terry." " Frankie." "You remember Maureen?" " How ya doin'?" " How are you?" "Come on inside." "We should talk." "Remember Pat?" " Hi." " How's it going?" "Play with the kids, okay, Jackie?" "Teach them how to kneel or something." "You want to see my gun?" "Huh?" "Show you my gun?" "So, before you started exploiting these pathetic skanks and their addictive personalities in the Bronx, where were you?" "A lot of different places." "Tell me about one." " Texas." " No shit?" "I did my bit with the corps." "Worked an oil rig for a while." "Spent a couple of years driving heavy machinery in Oklahoma around Norman." "Even rode a jackhammer in Milwaukee." "You picked some very odd fuckin' places." "No time in the slam, huh?" "No." "You're lucky." "I gotta say, you was a kid." "I never took you for a shooter." "You weren't somebody I thought I'd hear you dropped two guys like I've been told you did in the Bronx." "I'll do a good job for you, Frankie." "Take me on." "We'll see." "Well..." "You wouldn't regret it." "What do I have to do?" "It's gonna be a hoot, man." "Check him out, Pat." "Find this DeMarco guy Jackie says is the hit." "If things check out, relocate this DeMarco in a dumpster." "Right." "Noonan's with us." "I don't want the cops hooking us up with no drug bullshit from the Bronx." "This is the way me and Frankie deal with guys tearing apart the neighborhood." "Easier than sending a telegram." "Don't cost as much." "These fuckin' guys getting rich by evicting the real people who live here." "They're kicking out the Irish to build yuppie nests." "Yuppies gotta be thicker than the rats and the roaches." "Assholes can't live without their dogs." "Got dog shit all over the sidewalk." "It never used to be that way." "Used to be, you dropped a cone, you could pick it up and finish it." "People wandering around the streets homeless 'cause of these assholes." "So we're like Robin Hood in this instance?" "Yeah." "And I'm Friar Fuck." "What the fuck you doing?" "Hundred yard dash." "Hundred yard dash?" "Yeah." "Are you fuckin' crazy?" "You'll blow up the whole place." "I'll only do it if you really want to, Terry." "Yeah?" "All right, all right, you fuckin' asshole." "Yeah?" "Yeah." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Okay." "One." "Two." "Three!" "Whoa!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Look at that!" "Neighborhood, one!" "Yuppies, zero!" "Come on!" "Whoo-ha!" "In the distance" "You saw me coming round" "I was calling out" "I was calling out" "Still shaking..." "Bartender, Guinness." "I want you to meet Irene, man" "Irene." "Pleased to meet you, Terry Noonan." "What you two boys been doing, playing with matches?" "Tell you all about it later, okay?" "You can tell me all night." "It's a long story." "What you gonna do?" "Maybe I'll come back." "The hell you will." "Jackie, what the fuck are you doing?" " Jackie!" " Rock and roll!" "You fuck, man." "Look what you did!" "See you later, Terry." " Thank you." " Have a good..." "Good flight." "Thank you very much." "Hi." "You mind I'm here?" "No, no." "I..." "It's busy." "What possessed you?" "Listen, um, I have..." "I have a break in an hour." " Meet you here?" " Sure." " Or outside?" " No, here's okay." " Outside's better." " Okay." "I love your uniform." "Is this your dinner break?" "You wanna get something to eat?" "Yeah, we could." "I'm not hungry, really." "Frankie's kids are cute." "His wife looks great next to him in court." "They're some sort of Laura Ashley suburban mutation." "He commutes." "She drives a station wagon." "So what are we doin'?" "I wanted to see you." "Yeah?" "Where's Jackie?" "He stand you up?" "He ran into Irene." "What a slut." "So how come you don't have a boyfriend?" "I do have a boyfriend." "He's out of town." "I met him at the hotel." "He travels a lot." "I'm lying." "I recently broke up." "I'm divorced." "Divorced?" "Really?" "Any kids?" "I hope not." "Six months ago." "Yeah." "No kids." "Let's go dancing." "I thought you wanted dinner." "Don't you have to go back?" "I got somebody." "I called the girl who works the other shift." "I begged her." "You know, we can do that." "You wanna go dancing with me?" "Come on, Terry." "No one forgets their first love." "You know that." "Just the slow ones?" "Just the slow ones." "Well, you tell us that we're wrong" "And you tell us not to sing our song" "Nothing we can say will make you see" "You got a heart of stone, you can never feel" ""You say, 'Oh, I'm not afraid' "" ""It can't happen to me"" "Yeah?" "DeMarco." "Buick's out front." "Point him out." "You gotta be kidding me, man." "In the corner." "At the table." "Just wanted change." "Understand you knew a Terry Noonan." "Get out of my face, shit-head." "I don't know no one." "What's this?" "I want you and me to go for a little walk." "What are you, a cop?" "Yeah." "Let's go." " Look, I don't know no one." " Come on." "I don't know nobody." "Yeah?" "Hey, Terry." "Terry, it's me, Jackie." "Frankie wants us on a job." "Now?" "It's 2:00 in the morning, man." "Hey, this is one of Frankie's peak hours." "How are you, Mr. Raferty?" "I'm fine, Stevie." "I got you five cases of Bushmills." "Nobody drinks it, Flannery." "It costs too much." "I'm selling it cheap." "900 bucks for all five oases." "I'm doing you a favor." "Mikey McDonnell ran the same scam on me for 500." "Might be the reason Mikey didn't leave nothing in his will." "I ain't paying for any goddamn Bushmills I don't need." "Jackie, check out the bar." "See what this gentleman needs." "Sure thing, Frankie." "Stevie, what are you doing with these bums?" "Stevie, are you going to let this dickhead insult us like that, huh?" "It looks like they're real low." "Bar got crowded tomorrow, it'd go dry in an hour." "I ain't giving you a fuckin' cent, Flannery." "What the fuck are you trying to prove, man?" "That's like beating up your grandfather." " Shut the fuck up." " You shut the fuck up!" "Don't tell me to shut up." "You shut the fuck up!" "Hey, fuck you, Pat!" "You shut the fuck up!" "I'm not going to tell you again, Stevie." "Shut the fuck up!" "The man's 50 years old!" " Shut up!" " You shut up!" "Hey, fuck you, Pat!" "Stevie, shut up." "You ain't my fuckin' father." " Hey, Stevie!" " Hey, Pat!" "Hey, Pat!" "Fuck you!" "Shut up!" "Hey, Stevie!" "I want your opinion, I'll dial your fuckin' asshole!" "Nicholson's the asshole, Frankie." "What the fuck is going on here?" "Terry, get out of here!" "Hey, tough guy!" "Sons of bitches!" "Get out of here!" "Everybody get the fuck out of here!" "Get out of here!" "Noonan!" "Pat, you do what I'm telling you!" "Get out of here!" " You're mine!" " The bunch of you, get the fuck out of here!" "Get outta here!" "I want the balance in two days, Raferty, or you can scratch your name out of the yellow pages." "What the fuck were you doing, Noonan?" " He was hitting Stevie, Frank." " I know he was hitting Stevie." "He was supposed to be hitting Stevie." "Stevie was acting like an asshole!" "I don't know what we gotta beat the shit out of an old man for." "To scare him, you clown!" "To fuckin' scare him." "He was scared." "He was already scared." "We're trying to intimidate this dickhead!" "The next thing I know, we're in a self-inflicted brawl acting like a bunch of cowboys, acting wild." "The one thing Borelli don't want!" "He will piss on us." "He thinks we lost our sense of manners." "Personally, Frankie, I was fuckin' proud of you." "Acting like yourself, for a change, jumping in there for some of it." "Instead of like some goddamn grease ball you gotta check with Borelli before you take a shit so I don't know who you are half the fucking time." "Fuck you." "I'm sorry if I love you, but you're my brother." "You're a curse." "I've been taking care of you my whole life." "You were doing a good job of it, too, Frankie." "Fuck me up again, you understand me?" "The whip comes down." " You got that?" " Yeah." " You understand me?" " Yeah." "Who is it?" "Terry." "What's the matter?" "Terry, what is it?" "Now, Frankie." "If we're gonna work together, I got a little problem." "Somehow, I got to solve it." "Is there something I could help you with, Mr. Borelli?" "Kid's name is Stevie McGuire." "Lives in your neighborhood." "Do you know him?" "Yeah, I know him." "It's true." "He runs some errands for me." "It's also true he owes Jimmy here eight grand." "Now eight grand is not a lot of money." "I got guys out there owe me 80, except I know I'm gonna get it back from them." "It's really not the eight grand that's got Jimmy and me upset here." "It's this McGuire kid's attitude." "Jimmy here goes asking for our money, and this McGuire kid, he spills a drink on Jimmy's new cashmere." "Did it deliberately." "This is what Jimmy tells me." "Now Jimmy can't get the stain out." "He's been to six fuckin' cleaners, and the best they could do was fade it." "This kid just doesn't have any respect for Jimmy here." "And if he's got no respect for Jimmy, he's got no respect for me." "Now, Frankie, the most important thing in doing business is good manners." "And I really don't think it would be proper for us to have to go into your neighborhood to solve our problem." "Do you understand?" "Frankie, don't make a mess." "You kids from the West Side." "I'm not exactly a connoisseur or anything, but, you know, I know my wines." "I know my way around, under the table, you know, like, not just by the names." "How you doing, Stevie?" "Hi, Pat." "We got to talk." "Not tonight, Pat, all right?" "I'm right in the middle of telling this little pony my life story." "Yeah, well, it won't take long, I promise." "I got to step outside for a minute, all right?" "I'll be right back." "Cindy, right?" "Sandy, I'm sorry." "What's going on, Pat?" "Matter of eight grand you owe Jimmy Cavello." "Should have quit at two." "Cavello?" "What have you got to do with Cavello?" "How you doing, Stevie?" "Hey, man, you ain't gonna cut me up over eight grand that don't even belong to you?" "It ain't my habit to cut people up." "Look, I've been working on the eight grand, all right?" "I've been chipping away at it, Frank, honest." "Now let me make a phone call and I'll check on it." "You should have made it yesterday, Stevie." "Rent's overdue." "Frankie, it's me, all right?" "We grew up together, man." "Remember, you know, we're friends!" "Don't give me that bullshit." "The friends I got don't owe money." "You fuck!" "Fuck you, Frankie!" "You motherfucker!" "Fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "Bitch." "Get the fuck off me!" "Get the fuck off me!" "Give me the knife, Pat." "You got the knife?" "Here." "You shouldn't have fuckin' said that, Stevie." "You shouldn't have said that." "I was gonna let Pat do this." "Pat's the expert." "Me..." "I'm just an amateur." "Aah!" "Aah!" "You did better than you thought you would, Frankie." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Hi." "It's me." "Please leave a message after the beep." "Where the fuck are you?" "Terry." "Kathleen." "Stevie's dead." "Stevie's fuckin' dead." "Jack?" "Jack..." "Where are you?" "Oh!" "Look what they fuckin' did!" " Kate." " Hello, Frankie." "What are you doing?" "Frankie!" "Frankie!" "You see this, man?" "You see this?" "What are you doing down here, Kathleen?" "Oh, Jesus!" "They cut his throat, the fucks!" "Noonan, you shouldn't have brought Kathleen down here." " She doesn't like things like this." " I wanna go, Terry." "Kathleen, I'd like to buy you breakfast." "I gotta go." "Frankie, whoever did it..." "The fucker doesn't get his cappuccino in the morning." "And I do it!" "I fuckin' whack him out." "Don't you jump to conclusions." "Hey." "Hey, Terry!" "I'll be right..." "I'll be right back!" "What did Frankie say?" "Stevie never hurt nobody." "I hurt people." "Frankie hurts people." "Stevie borrowed money, that's all he did." "You know, who'd kill him over fuckin' money?" "You're acting surprised, Jackie?" "Are you serious?" "You want us to think this surprises you?" "Every time you turn around down here, somebody else is dead." "What are you talking about?" "How many wakes we go to as kids just because somebody forgot to pay back money?" "Every time we turn around, somebody's dead, huh?" "Hey, bullshit!" "Hey!" "See!" "Eh?" "See!" "Stevie never hurt nobody!" "FUCK you!" "You're gonna hunt him down, aren't you?" "The three of you, you're gonna conduct this rumor and investigation until you find somebody who maybe did this awful thing to Stevie." "You know, I'm glad I saw, because I was forgetting your lives." "How you are." "How you think." "It's crazy of me to be near you." "Any of you!" "Kate, you gotta let me straighten this thing out." " No!" "I shouldn't be seeing you, Terry." " Kate, come on!" " Can we stop?" "Let's just stop." " No!" "Just don't!" "Don't do this!" "Would you let me talk?" "No!" "I'm not gonna get caught in the middle of this anymore, Terry." "I'm not falling back." "Just help me with this, all right?" "What about me?" "Huh?" "What about me?" "Hold on." "Come on, let's go." "No!" "Hold on." "Here." " Let's go!" " What about me?" "All right." "Fuck it." "I'll call you." " Come on!" " Pick up or don't." "I'll fuckin' call." "Hey, come on!" "Let's get out of here." "I gotta go somewhere." " Come on!" " Where?" " You remember Mickey Cassidy?" " Yeah." "And his sister, Brenda, didn't wear panties to dance class?" "Well, he's dead, too." "Mickey was dumb enough to become a cop." "I got to go to the funeral." "You know, it's over in Queens." "I can't stand fuckin' driving in Queens." "You want me to drive?" "No." "Then I'd have to look out the window." "It ain't gonna be like this when we go." "Probably paste shamrocks on our foreheads, stick us next to an expressway." "And two years later, build a fuckin' mall on top of us." "People walking all over us just to get a fuckin' milkshake." "I'm feeling screwy, man." "All this fuckin' marching music." "I want a drink." "Order, arms!" "What do you want?" "A Heineken." "Two Heinekens." "Cassidy's old man." "Better go pay my respects." " You coming?" " Go ahead." "A couple of Buds." "I'm Jackie Flannery." "I knew him." "I knew Mickey." "Ain't very smart marching in a fuckin' parade." "You're supposed to be dead." "If DeMarco happened to like parades, he'd think he was seeing ghosts." "DeMarco is a ghost." "Somebody left him in a dumpster in his favorite neighborhood." "Call me." "I gotta get out of here." "I feel like I'm on Mars." "I feel surrounded." "It was the fuckin' guineas did Stevie, wasn't it?" "Stevie owed everybody." "Hey." "All right." "You ready?" "Yeah." "This kid, Stevie McGuire, they find him floating around the East River." "He's part of this?" "Nick, Cavello did it." "Could Flannery have been involved?" "He didn't hit one of his own like Stevie for no fuckin' reason." "Money's always a reason." "He didn't owe Frankie money." "As a favor to impress Borelli." "The kid in the river ain't wrapped in a ribbon, but Borelli's sense of self-importance is soothed that this goofball ain't walking the streets no more." "You gotta get me out of this thing." " I'm gonna get caught up in this shit." " What?" "What I just said." "I don't know what this is, this thing I'm doing here." "You're a cop." "I don't feel like a cop." "These guys are my pals." "You smell like a fuckin' distillery, Noonan." "You're drinking too much!" " How much are you drinking?" " Just listen to me." "Listen to me." "Please fuckin' listen to me." "You gotta get me out of this thing now." "I gotta get you out of this thing?" "You're talking like my grandma here." "Fuck!" "I'm drinking too much, you're right." "Jack..." "Jackie's my friend, my best fuckin' friend." "I thought I could walk in and do this, but I can't." "It's gonna get out of control." "You're having some bullshit attack of feelings." "You just gotta surgically remove the fuckers and get on with putting these scumbags off the street." "Why do you think I'd run away to Boston to be a cop?" "Because I hated Boston crooks so much?" "No, to get away." "To get as far away as I could so that this could never happen!" "I'd never be in such circumstances where I had to..." "Where I'd have to arrest my own friends." "These animals you're talking about, these animals are your friends?" "Hey, what do you know about it?" "I don't know you." "Where are you from, huh?" "Poughkeepsie?" " Where you from?" "White Plains?" " Stop drinking, Noonan." "That's what I'm saying, you fuckin' idiot!" "That's all they do is drink." "I'm Irish muscle in these circumstances." "We drink, we shoot people, and I'm gonna get caught in it." "That's what you want?" "Fine." "I'm warning you." "I gotta go back to Boston." "You're an asshole." "You're talking like an asshole." "I'll run away." "I'll run the fuck away where none of you can fucking find me." "Jesus Christ, I thought you Kitchen guys were tough guys." "We're not tough, Nick!" " We're just crazy." " Well, you ain't either." "You're a fuckin' crybaby." "Oh, God." " You gotta get something on Flannery." " Hey." "Come on." "You gotta get something on Flannery." "You gotta see something we can accuse him of." "You can get on the witness stand and say, "Him!"" ""Fuck him." "Put him away."" "It ain't gonna work." "Borelli and Flannery make their deal, people are gonna be dropping dead all over the city." "If that happens, Noonan..." "The blood's on your hands." "Look, it's a difficult situation." "We're here." "They're there in their world." "Looks like Borelli's gonna let us in, and now this." "How did you find out?" "People saw him take Stevie out to the car." "Cavello was sitting there, then they all drove away." "They think they can come into our neighborhood and do this to us, Frankie." "I know that, Jackie." "They got no respect for us." "Fucking Cavello, his head's gotta roll." "Yes, but first we're gonna show some maturity." "Can you show me some fuckin' discipline and maturity?" "I'm talking about the fuckin' neighborhood!" "I'm talking about I am your boss." "Borelli says nobody gets hit." "We don't have his permission." "Talking about the fuckin' neighborhood." "The neighborhood's disappearing in a tide of yuppies and dog shit, Jack." "Borelli's our ticket so we can retire to Phoenix." "Jimmy Cavello keeps getting up in the morning till I say different." "You got that?" "Or you want me to put it in writing on your forehead, Jackie?" "Jack?" "Jack?" "You listening to me, Jackie?" "Jesus Christ!" "He wasn't doing nothing!" "Stop it!" "Terry, Terry, Terry." "Wait." "Hold it." "What's going on?" "He was..." "Jackie, stop it!" "He wasn't doing nothing!" "Hey, whoa, Jack." "Jackie!" "You fuckin' maniac!" "Fuckin' maniac!" "Take that!" "You're crazy, you know that?" "I should..." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Let him go." "Are you okay?" "You all right?" "You all right?" "Look at her." "Broads, huh?" "They put a wire around your dick and start leading you around like Dodo the dog." "You gotta marry them to forget them." "Don't worry about Jackie." "He's gotta cool down for a second." "Sit down." "Sit down a minute, Terry." "I wanna talk to you." "So you like Kate, huh?" " You been seeing her." " Yeah." "You gotta trust me on this one, Terry." "It's a crime, but she holds people like you and me in nothing but contempt." "You heard of ice queens?" "Well, my sister Kate, she's moved a Frigidaire inside herself." "I'm just trying to let you learn from my experience." "I mean, if she thinks I'm a piece of shit, what, in the long run, is she gonna make of you?" "Don't you think we ought to be worried about Jackie?" "Yeah." "You're right." "Keep an eye on Jackie." "Keep him out of trouble." "I'm counting on you, Terry." "Pat." "Is something wrong?" "I don't know." "When you're not too busy, keep an eye on Noonan for me." "Love to." "Who is it?" "Kate, it's Terry." "I'm sorry I'm here, but Jack's disappeared." "I looked everywhere for him." "I can't find him." "You got any idea where he might be?" "Jack." "I'd offer you a beer, Kate, except I drank all of them." "You know," "I come here..." "I knelt down, and I thought about Stevie as hard as I could." "And I hoped it was praying." "I should have known to look for you here." "Do you remember Stevie used to come here and hide with us?" "Figured nobody would think we'd come in here without some nun dragging us in by the ear." "Like father what's-his-face." "Remember him?" "He kind of had too much spit, so he kind of foamed at the mouth when he gave the sermon." "Here." "We were kids." "It's peaceful here, huh?" "Look at all the saints." "There's Saint Anthony and Saint Francis." "Who's that one over there?" "Hey." "Hey." "Let's go see Saint Anthony." "Maybe he wants a drink." "Hey, Jackie!" "I don't think he wants a drink, Jack." "No." "He's a teetotaler." "I'm sorry." "Jackie!" "Jack, come on." "I'm gonna make Stevie a saint." "I'm gonna make Stevie a saint!" "I'm gonna make Stevie a saint." "I'm gonna make Stevie a saint." "Make Stevie a saint." "Make Stevie a saint." "I'm gonna make Stevie a saint." "Saint Stevie." "Stevie." "Come on, what..." "You what?" "You want some?" "Terry, come on." "No, I don't want some." "Terry, stop it!" "What are you doing?" "No!" "Terry, stop it!" "What are you doing?" " Come here." " I'm a cop." "I'm a cop." "I'm a..." "I'm a fuckin' Judas cop!" "Terry." "I gotta go." "Terry." "I gotta go." "Okay, what are you saying?" "I don't know." "Come on, what are you talking about?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "What's the matter?" "Your stomach upset?" "It's hard to get up in the morning, Jack." "It's like I'm pulling my socks over my shoes." "Yeah?" "Like I'm in this fuckin' fog." "Terry, you're missing the point here." "I can't remember shit." "That's the way I like it." "Only hint of a problem is I need a little Maalox." "But I can buy Maalox." "You always were tougher than me, Jack." "I always thought I was just crazier." "You take Finn." "He's easy." "What's his marker?" "700 and change, which he ain't gonna have." "Just look him in the eyes." "Scare the fuck out of him." "My guy, however, is in the upper bracket." "He got righteous last time, refused to open the door." "Hey," "I got no money today." "You still gotta open up." "I'm an old man, and I'm eating stewed tomatoes out of a can." "Do you hear my ax?" "That's my ax!" "Don't break that door." "I gotta have a door." "Then open it!" "All right." "Wait." "You got anything at all?" "$5, $10?" "They'd think better of you." "You're Terry Noonan." "You're Eddie Noonan's boy." "Oh, my God." "I played cards with your dad." "And he showed me pictures of you all the time." "Lord God, if he had lived to see that you was working for the Flannerys..." "You know, he'd have whipped your ass." "Oh, he was a great man..." "Hey, Finn, when my old man wasn't drunk, lost in a daydream about some bullshit history he never had, he was beating me with a strap or pissing out the window, thinking it was the can." "You wanna give a history lesson, get your facts straight." "I'll tell them you're eating stewed tomatoes, okay?" "Look, you're cocky, but can I tell you something, please?" "You know, them Flannerys, they're black snakes, and they move in the dark of the night, and they always, always turn on everybody." "I ain't worried." "That McGuire boy, you know?" "He wasn't worried neither until they led him out of Matty's bar like a prize pig." "I'm old, but I..." "I can still see." "You saw Stevie McGuire get led out of Matty's bar?" "Clear as the nose on your face." "Who led him out?" "It's, uh..." "You know, your people." "It was a Flannery." "Was it Frankie?" "Huh?" "Was it Frankie?" "If you're gonna hit me, you know, you're gonna fry in hell, 'cause your dad..." "Who did you see?" "Was it Frank?" "Huh?" "Who did you see?" "I swear to God, I didn't see nothing." "I saw nothing." "I did nothing." "I'm just..." "I'm here eating these stewed tomatoes out of a can." "Ain't nobody going to hit you for your money, okay?" "Oh, God." "How'd it go?" "I didn't even knock, just took down the door." "It was a beautiful door, a McAndrews." "Though I've caught him off guard by the element of surprise, decides he wants to tumble." "So, we're throwing punches and shit, man." "You should have seen it." "We're rolling around on the fuckin' linoleum, his old lady hollerin'." "He's a big fuck, so he thinks he's got me." "I think he's got me." "Then I bite into his fuckin' ear." "That stopped the whole thing in 0.2 seconds." "So, what are you up for?" "I feel like going home." "Yeah?" "Where's that?" " Call you later." " Yeah." "I'm closed." "Who walked Stevie McGuire out of here the other night?" "I don't know him." "You don't know him?" "Red-haired guy." "Everybody knows Stevie." "Look, I told you, I don't know him." "What do you think he's doing in there?" "I don't know." "He could be trying to find out about Stevie." "He liked that kid." "He could just be having a drink." "This fucker's getting too complicated." "Let's simplify things." "You take care of the bartender and then we'll take a real close look at Noonan." "Right." "Can I use your men's room?" "It's in the back." "Somebody slit my pal's throat the other night." "You gonna tell me who that was?" " Big guy." " What big guy?" "What's his name?" "Jesus, don't do this." "Nobody's doing nothing to nobody." "It's all just happening, see?" "Guy who always hangs out with Frankie Flannery he walked him out." "His name's Nicholson." " I don't know him." " Well, that's his name." "Ten minutes." "Fine." "Thank you." "Hi, Kathleen." "Frankie, what are you doing?" "I gotta talk to you." "Can you find me a minute?" "Yeah." "Give me..." "Give me five minutes." " Yeah, okay." " Right, I'll meet you in the bar over there." " Where's the bar?" " Straight ahead." "Right through there." "Right through there and to your right." " Don't keep me waiting, all right?" " I won't." "Sit down." "I ordered you a white wine." "What is it you want, Frankie?" "I don't gotta want something all the time, do I?" "I never knew you when you didn't." "Who took care of you when you was a kid?" "When guys hit on you, who took care of you?" "Who went looking for them?" "That's why I moved up here, Frankie, so nice men could hit on me without fearing for their life." "They fly to Europe." "It don't make them nice." "I don't know what happened between us, Kate." "It's kind of like you never even wanted to know me." "If you feel rejected, Frankie, it's because I do." "I reject you." "You're so cold." "What happened to you?" "What happened to that sweet little girl, her heart shining through her skin?" "Hmm?" "That's what people say when they can't make you do what they want anymore, right?" " What?" " "You're so cold."" "The way you treat me, I ought to box your ears." "I have to go back to work." "Sit down here for a second." "Sit down..." "Sit down for a minute." "I wanna talk to you." "Let me talk to you about Terry Noonan." "He's coming to work for me in my organization." "I think he's gonna do very well, but up in the Bronx a couple weeks ago, you'd be so surprised to know what he did." "He got tangled up in this drug deal with these lowlifes and he killed both of them." "He shot them point blank." "So he ain't what you're looking for, I don't think, is he, Kate?" "You came all the way across town to tell me that?" "I thought it was right that you should know it, that's all." "Yeah." "Kathleen." "I have to talk to you." "You should've called." "These fuckin' halls are dangerous." "It was hopeless." "I had to see you, my mind set its own agenda, you know, so here I am." "What time is it?" "It was 3:00 when I left the house." " You want a drink?" " Mmm." "I've had two Valium already." "I don't know if I should." "My mind's just..." "Spinning with everything, you know?" "Sit down." "I mean, uh, Frankie came to tell me that you're working for him..." "Why'd he do that?" "What do you mean "why"?" "Because I got away." "So you're telling me you're a cop, and he's telling me you murdered two drug dealers up in the Bronx." "No." "That was a setup." "They were cops." "You killed two cops?" "No, it was a set up." "It wasn't real." "I had blanks." "They went down, to give me, like, credentials..." "I don't know about this." " I don't know about any of this." " You're asking me." "I thought you were different." "I am different." "I'm a cop." "They're my brothers and you're gonna put them in jail!" "Kate, you're jumping all over the place." "No, I'm not jumping all over the place." "My brother comes to me, and he's..." "He's telling me, you know, he trusts you, and I have this knowledge that you're a..." "You know, when I told Linda everything..." "Whoa." "Who's Linda?" "My shrink." "I had a session today." "A double session." "You told your shrink?" "What?" "You told your shrink about me?" "Of course I told her." "Wait a minute." "You're telling me there's some shrink walking around out there, she knows I'm a cop?" "Yeah, that's right." "I have a shrink." "Oh, fuck me!" "I tell her what's happening in my life." "That's what she's there for." "I have a right to try and straighten out my life." "You could get me killed!" "Oh, shit." "I thought..." "I thought I was out of this." "I thought I'd gotten away." "You know, it's like some kind of trick." "I don't know how I ended up here but you gotta help me, Terry." "I can't leave town because I have a job." "And I can't move any further uptown or I'll be in fuckin' Harlem." "That's what I came here to tell you is just stay away from me." "That's not why you're here." " Yeah, it is." " No." " Yeah, it is." " No." "Yes, it is." "You could've called." "You could've waited." "People don't come down to a place like this in the middle of the night to tell someone to stay away." "Terry, don't." " Kathleen, it's okay." " Don't." " Don't." " It's okay." "It's okay." "Get off of me!" "Get off of me!" "I don't want anything to do with you!" "Stay away from me!" "You're just like them!" "You're just like my fuckin' brothers!" "You are!" "You think you can come to me whenever you fucking want!" "And you just reach inside me and you just pull!" "You can't!" "I love you." "You're a liar." "I met you before." "You're a fuckin' liar!" "You shut up!" "You ask these fucks for cappuccino or cannoli, their eyes cross." "Corned beef and cabbage." "Get us a green pitcher of beer." "Give me a pitcher." "These fucks come here often?" "I don't know." "How many fucking times I gotta tell you?" "The kid at the bar drinking is Frankie." "I'm trying to tell you something." "This here is Jackie." "I see this fuckin' kid all the time on 10th Avenue." "That kid is Frankie." "I'll go down, I'll settle it." "I'll talk to him." "Yeah, ask him to come over here and have a drink." "It's Frankie." "It's definitely him." "My friends and I are arguing whether you're a Flannery or not." "You are, right?" "You're not Frankie." "You're the other one, right?" "No." "I'm not Frankie." "You see that guy over there?" "That's Jimmy Cavello." "Jimmy says let bygones be bygones." "He wants you to come over and join us for a drink." "Get him a pitcher of anything he wants, huh?" "Come on, join us." "You hungry?" "You want something to eat?" "No." "Pull up a chair, kid." "Fuck it." "Gimme two." "Everybody get the fuck out of here." "Frankie, what's up?" "Get out!" "You're a piece of work, Jackie." "They come into our neighborhood like they fuckin' own it." "Who am I?" "Who the fuck am I?" "I am your boss!" "But you hurt me!" "You try to help me, you fuckin' hurt me!" "He offers to buy me a drink." "He whacks out Stevie and thinks I'd drink with him." "We're talking about discipline here." "We're talking about maturity!" "This is what I get?" "He shouldn't have sent his goon up to me." "What's he gotta do that for?" "Wait a minute!" "You tell me one thing, am I a joke in your eyes, Jackie?" "Is that what you see when you look at me?" "A fuckin' joke?" "I just don't want this shithead in the fuckin' neighborhood sitting' there like the fuckin' pope." "You know what you did, Jack?" "Paid Stevie back is what I did." "No, you maybe started a fuckin' war is what you did." "Two steps away from a deal." "Our end is money like the lottery." "You gotta fuck it up." "You gotta jeopardize it." "For what?" "Stevie." "Some jerk-off kid who insults the world, but he don't pay 'em what he owes them, through the mere fact of his existence..." "Frankie." "Can't you see I'm busy here?" "Look, I think you..." "You want me to rip the phone out of the fuckin' wall?" "It's Borelli." "Somebody for Borelli." " What's he want?" " Shut up." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "He wants a sit-down, me and him." "When?" "Get me a pot of coffee." " How many cups?" " One." "You send everybody home, but they're by their phones." "They don't leave their phones to go outside, go to the can, or pump their girlfriends, they can't hear the phone ringing." "Pat, I want you outside the door here." "You see that I am not disturbed." "Right." "What about me?" "You go home." "You sit by the phone." "Can you do that?" "What are you gonna do?" "I got some thinking to do." "I gotta figure this thing out." "I gotta have some privacy to sit and think, figure how I'm gonna handle this thing." "Yeah." "Hey." "Hey, Terry." "It's me, Jackie." "Yeah, Jackie." "Got a little job." "Uh, meet me at 43rd and Broadway, uh, about 11:00, all right?" "Can you get there?" "Yeah." "I'll be there." "All right." "See you." "Hi." "It's me." "Please leave a message at the beep." "Hey, it's me." "Are you there?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Uh..." "Will you pick up if you're there?" "Look, we're..." "We're in the middle of this thing." "You gotta understand." "And I'm sorry." "If I hurt you, I'm sorry." "All right?" "I'll get back." "Bye." "Where are we going, Beirut?" "Borelli's phoned Frankie." "We gotta come to this meeting." "Cavello got wasted in the Kitchen in the wee small hours of the morning last night." " Cavello?" " Yeah." "Is nobody safe?" "You got the address?" "Yeah." "Right here." "Get on down there now, okay?" "Get situated." "The place is just up the street from the restaurant." "Everything arranged." "I arrive at noon." "If I don't call you by 2:00, or Pat don't call you, you come in, tear them apart, the spaghetti's still in their spoons." "You okay, Noonan?" "Everything okay with you?" "It'll be all right, Frankie." "Yeah." "Either we're dead, or we ain't." "Anybody know how to get to Mott Street?" "Yeah." "Terry." "MAN 12 Oh!" "Then it's got this base like a futon." "And the fuckin' frame's fuckin' bent, right?" "So I bring it home." "It looks easy." "I can't put the fuckin' thing together..." "Let's get down to business." "First of all, this problem we got here, this is your responsibility." "Now, either you get the respect of your own people up there, or you got nothing." "My people, if I let them go at this on their own, your brother, he'd be in so many fuckin' pieces right now you couldn't put him back together again even if you had the directions." "But I said no." "I said Frankie Flannery is a man who knows when things have to be set right." "And that you would never let your feelings get in the way of an important business decision." "Now, what I told my people, Frankie," "I was wrong?" "Of course, this is a matter of some complexity." "But if you won't solve this problem," "I'm gonna have it solved for you." "You understand that?" "Huh?" "You don't have to worry about Frankie, man." "If he ain't okay, there's gonna be a dumpster full of dead guineas, the spaghetti still on their forks." "Look, uh," "I can straighten the kid out." "Jimmy Cavello was a..." "Was a great guy." "We all know this." "The kid..." "The kid..." "You should have been there when I was reaming him out over this thing." "The kid, if he could've, he would've crawled in a hole and brought the hole in with him." "If he could have found a hole he could go into." "Don't embarrass yourself, Frankie." "I know you don't wanna insult me." "No." "But to be frivolous on a matter of such importance is an insult." "This fuckin' bum is your brother, so I understand your need to pursue some hopeless course to try to save him, but everybody knows what's gotta happen here." "With every heartbeat, his miserable, fuckin' douchebag life insults me." "He's a thorn in my side, Frankie." "Since we're together, he's a thorn in your side." "Now, look, Frankie," "I gotta know, and I gotta know now." "Are you gonna be able to pull this thorn out of our side?" "All right." "This is your brother, Frank." "So for the sake of family and blood," "I'm gonna give you this opportunity." "Looks like it's time to kick some guinea ass." "He didn't call yet, Jackie." "Yeah, he said we don't go until he called or Pat called." "That ain't what he said." "Of course that's what he said." "I was sittin' right there." "Richie, what did he say?" "Who?" " Frankie!" " About what?" "What are you asking him for?" "He's fuckin' stupid." "Now..." "Let's have some dessert." "I gotta make a call." "Let the business wait." "Enjoy your dessert." "It's my wife." "Don't offend me, Frankie." "You're gonna get up from my table to call your wife?" "Ah." "Let her wait." "Jack, you don't wanna fuck him up again." " But that ain't what he said." " It is what he said." "He said if he didn't call." "No." "If we did call." "If he did call." "If we said..." "He said if we didn't call." "If he did." " If he didn't." " Did." "Jack"." "Terry." "Terry, listen, I was in the fuckin' truck." "I heard him." "He said "If we didn't..."" ""If we didn't fuckin' call."" " Where was I?" " You were there, too!" " Yeah, right!" " Well, you're fuckin' deaf!" "I don't know." "He said if he didn't call!" "If he did call." "Relax." "Richie." "I didn't hear him." "Will you fuckin' stop that?" "He's fuckin' retarded!" "Nothing personal, Richard." "You're stupid." "That's not what he said." "Jack, he said if he did call." "If he called, we go, otherwise, no." "Have a piece of cheesecake." "Fuck me, man." "This don't feel right." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "What the fuck?" "Jack, calm down." "Jackie, Jack, Jack." "Listen, listen." "Listen." "He said if he did call, it's gonna..." "Relax." " Would you relax?" " Terry!" "Terry, I love you, but you're wrong." " I love you, too, and I'm right." " I took the responsibility, he could be fuckin' dying." "Jack, Jack." "Jack!" "Let's go, huh?" "You want me to make that call for you, Mr. Flannery?" "Tell your boy to stop moving around so much." "He's interfering with my digestion." "Have a cannoli, some anisette." "Let's fuckin' go!" "All right, let's go." "Come on." "I'm coming." "I'm ready." "All right." " You want your clock?" " No." "Big mistake." "A big mistake." "Mr. Borelli, I really do gotta make a phone call." "I mean, I must make it." "My wife's not been feeling well." "With your permission." "Go." "Make your call." "Thank you." "See?" "She ain't even home." "Either they forgot about us, or this entire fuckin' neighborhood better get ready to duck." "All right." "I want you to drop me off at 39th street." "He ain't there!" "Frankie ain't there!" "Yeah." "Okay." "Back!" "It ain't a hit!" "It ain't a hit!" " Let's get out of here!" " Move it!" "Move!" "It's all right." "It's all right." " He's hugging him for Christ sakes." " I know." "I know." "What's this?" "Frankie, I hope you're not looking to start a war here." "In a war, we would crush you, you understand?" "Hey, dumb fucks!" "Don't know how close they came." "It's your brother." "My heart goes out to you." "So what happened, apparently, is that Borelli's got this beef with Cavello." "My guess is that Cavello had failed to get permission from Borelli to take out Stevie, which pissed Borelli off 'cause that could've jeopardized this thing with us." "And there was probably some other secretive guinea bullshit, too." "So..." "They don't give a shit about Cavello?" "No." "And as a kind of bonus, he's sending over 25 grand." "All we gotta do is drop a couple Haitians who've been messing in his drug turf on the Lower East Side." "He's sending over the first installment tonight." "You wanna pick it up?" "Sure." "Good." "It's unbelievable, huh?" "The way things turn out." "Yeah." "I gotta catch a shower and some fresh clothes." "I been in this shit for days." "The pickup will be about 11:00." "I'll let you know where." "And I want to keep this hush-hush, okay?" "Just you and me." "It's a lot of money, you know." "Saint Patty's is coming up so it looks like we'll have a little loose change to celebrate with." "Hey, Jack." "Come here." "Huh." "You ain't done that for years, Frankie." "Yeah." " Hey." " Hey." "Missed you at the club." "What's going on?" "Gotta work until 11:00 or so." "We can hoot and holler after that." "Like, uh," "I can meet you at the club about 12:00." "Want a beer?" "Sure." "You Okay?" "I'm feeling fucked up." "Gotta make a pickup." "Twenty-five grand." "Borelli's got some bullshit Haitian problems." "Pickup's at Battery Park." "I'm fuckin' beat, man." "I'm gonna ask Frankie for a little time off." "I've been working hard." "So, the parade's coming up." "Hmm?" "Won't that be nice?" "You, me, Kate can go celebrate Saint Patty's Day together." "Go see the parade." "Wanna?" "Listen, Jack," "I heard something." "I heard Frankie put the hit on Stevie." "What?" "Hey, hey, hey!" "That is my fuckin' brother you're talking about, huh?" " I heard it." " Yeah, yeah, you heard it!" "You heard it don't mean you gotta fuckin' repeat it!" "You repeat every fuckin' thing you hear?" "I'm sorry." "I heard it." "I ought to shoot your fuckin' eyes out." "I thought you should know." "Get out of here." "Get out of here!" "Come on!" "I should wash your mouth out with soap, Terry Noonan." "You go somewhere and think about what you said!" "All right." "I got it." "Battery Park at 11:00." "'Cause if you're not there, I think he's dead." "Well, if we see them whacking each other out, we can get them for that." "You hole up in a hotel, okay?" "So I can find you if I need you." "Just be there." "I think Jack's going down." " Jack." " How you doing, man?" " I thought you were working tonight." " Yeah, yeah." "Look..." "I'm sorry I yelled at you." "Forget it." "You heard something like that on the street." "But you know it's bullshit." " It's fuckin' bullshit." " Yeah, sure." "Whoever told you, we'll have a little talk with him after the pickup." "I want you to back me up, okay?" "Hey, I'm there." "What are we doing here?" "I thought Battery Park." "Yeah, the meeting's been changed to Pier 84." "Frankie figured it'd be safer." "Guineas won't try jack-shit here." "Listen, you ain't supposed to be here." "Okay, go and wait for me over there." "Where?" "Behind the deal over there?" "Yeah." "I won't be long." "Watch my fuckin' back." "Okay." "Hey." "I love the noises Irene makes in bed, man." "Me, too." "Listen." "This is Officer Noonan." "I'm looking for Sergeant Richardson." "He's on a stakeout." "I know that." "That's what I'm calling about." "Look, I gotta change of 20 for him, all right?" "Tell him it's not Battery Park." "It's Pier 84." "Hey, Frankie." "Hey, Jackie." "I thought you were the guineas." "Nah." "The guineas ain't coming." "It's just you and me." "It's just you and me?" "Yeah." "Just tell him to get down here!" "Jack!" "What the hell is going on here, Noonan?" "You tell us one place, but the shooters are all at some other goddamn place." "You know what they'd do?" "What they'd do they knew I was doing what I did?" "I'd be strung up on some fuckin' billboard somewhere, my eyes cut out of my head, and you know what?" "I'd fuckin' deserve it." "I ain't your goddamn social worker." "Now, you just tell me who whacked out Jack Flannery." "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?" "You were here." "No, no." "I wasn't fuckin' here." "I was over at that goddamn phone booth over there calling you." "I should have been backing up Jack over here but I was over there doing my goddamn rat job." "Was Flannery here or his boy?" "Who did you see?" "I don't wanna do this anymore, all right?" "I ain't cut out for this fuckin' undercover shit, all right, Nick?" "Get yourself an Italian 'cause I quit!" "The hell you are, man." "We're on these suckers." "It's just a matter of timing!" " Oh, timing?" " Yeah!" "These fucking guys don't know what century it is, and you're talking about fuckin' timing?" "You know what I did?" "I got my best friend killed." "I come down here and I got Jack killed." "That's what I did." "But it's fuckin' over." "Look at me." "See?" "I quit." "Good night." " Terry." " Fuck you." "Hey, Noonan!" "I fucked up, man." "Kathleen." "Hi." "Nobody even knows what he was doing out there." "I'm sorry." "I couldn't have saved Jackie, could I?" "Even though I know it's not true, I feel I could have." "But I should have told him what you were." "Here, Jack." "You're bound to get thirsty." "Hey, Terry." "How's Kathleen?" "She's holding up pretty good." "She's strong, but it's hard." "It's you I'm worried about." "What do you mean?" "Do you know where I was the night this happened?" "I was on Pier 84." "Noonan, if you and me are on a collision course, that would not be very smart of you." "You know how smart you are?" "That's how smart you are." "He's dead." "The fuck is dead." "Do you see that?" "Motherfucker." "Who is it?" "Kate?" "Kate, I feel awful about how things are with us." "Kate, you just gotta give me a minute on this, all right?" "If you don't want me here, just tell me." "But let me see your face so I can believe it." "Terry, I'm telling you the truth." "I'm telling you God's truth." "Bastards keep dragging me in and making me part of it!" "Moving the fuck around, Terry." "I gotta save my own life!" "I know." "I know, but I need to explain." "I need you to understand." "I understand." "No." "Listen." "Just fuckin' listen!" "I thought some things..." "That I could come back." "I've always hated that I'd run away." "It had nothing to do with you, except I knew if I tried to tell you, I'd never get away." "So I was in Boston." "I just ended up there." "It seemed far enough away." "It come to me then." "It just happened." "You know, these things happen." "Other things happen." "It's your life." "They were looking to get somebody to go undercover here." "They wanted to get somebody he knew the Kitchen, he was known." "And I could have said no, but I thought I could do it." "It was like this opportunity to just look the entire thing in the eye." "And you'd be gone, married, forgotten about me, I thought." "And Jack, I would leave him out of it." "But it was only an idea." "Nothing to do with the truth." "It's just..." "A fuckin' idea, like..." "You believe in angels or the saints or that there's such a thing as a state of grace." "And you believe it." "But it's got nothing to do with reality." "It's just an idea." "I mean, you got your ideas, and you got reality." "They're all..." "They're all fucked up." "I was going out." "I gotta go." "I gotta get ready." "He's someone I met at work." "He's taking me out for a drink." "Frank killed Jack." "Did he?" "I gotta go down now." "He's waiting." "You're cold, Kate." "Yes, I am." "I don't mind you got a date." "I really don't." "I ain't jealous." "I got a date, too." "Something you want me to tell Frankie for you when I see him?" "Just make sure when you leave, make sure the button's pushed in and the door's pulled tight before you go." " What'd you find out, Pat?" " Nobody knows him." "They must have brought him down from Boston." "Brought him down from Boston to rat us out." "It don't matter where the faggot cocksucker's from because he's dead." "It's 15,000 the minute he takes his last breath." "You bring me his motherfuckin' rat head, it's 30,000." " Where the fuck is he?" " Check it out." "Richie, what the fuck are you doing?" "Now boarding platform 131..." "After all these years, a perfect Saint Patrick's Day, warm sun shining down." "Temperature in the 60s." "...formed at Peter Cooper Square, then proceeded to 7th Avenue and headed north."
