"["Boo-Go-Loo" by Les McCann]" "Go, go, go, go!" " Watch out, watch out." "It's hot, it's hot." " Thank you, honey." " No, no, no, no." " Come on." " We have to wait for Leo." " Get out of here, Bernard." "We're waiting for your cousin." "Yeah, he's good-looking." " You're gonna like him." " Oh, yeah?" "You think so?" "I know so." "I know these kind of things." "Trust me." "I'm blessed with a gift." " Careful, it's real hot." " I got it, I got it." "Wow, this all looks wonderful." " Let's try and make a little room here." " Is your husband coming?" "No, Frank can't come, honey." "I meant to tell you." "He has to work." "He's meeting Leo tomorrow at the interview." "OK." "Well, at least Bernard's eating." "Hey, sweetie." "How you doing?" " Good." " Erica, you know Belvie..." "Belva?" " Belva." " Belva." "Nice." " Hey." " Hey." "I was telling her about your cousin Leo." "I want her to meet him." "Oh, yeah?" "[party continues]" " Hey!" "Hey, everybody, he's here." " Hey!" "Hey, Ma." " How you doing?" "Good?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'm good." " You look terrific." " Thanks." "You too." "I'm so glad you're home." "Me too." "[cheering] [man] Hey, Leo." "We all came to see you, buddy." "How you doing?" " Welcome home, bro." " I love you, man." " Welcome home." " Thanks." " It's good to see you." " You too." " How you doing?" " Leo." "Welcome home." " What's up, Dante?" " Man, you look great." " What's up, Todd?" " What's up, Leo?" "You guys look like you're doing good." "Don't worry about it." "It's gonna be coming your way soon enough." "Hey, what's your name?" "Belva?" "Belva, this is Leo." "Hi." " Belva's a dancer." " Hi." "Come on, we've got so much food." "Everybody, let's eat." "Just dig in." "Just help yourselves." "Mr. Handler." "We need to go over a few things." "Where can we talk?" " I guess in the bedroom." " Come on." "My records show that you were released at four o'clock this afternoon." "That's right." "You're supposed to make an arrival report." "Nobody told me that." "I thought I had 24 hours." "OK." "In the future, you should know that you're required to report with due diligence." "Now, the profile says you had some problems." "I see here that you served 16 months for auto theft." "So your parole status has you on intensive supervision." "I'll have access to your bank records, your W-2s, your pay stubs." "That's to keep track of your cash flow." " What about employment?" " I think I got something." "What's that?" "My aunt's new husband has his own business." "He's very, very important." "I have an interview with him tomorrow." "Couple of my friends work for him too." "What about your counseling?" "I don't wanna cause no problems." "I just wanna become a productive person again." "So what do you think?" "He looks good, right?" "He looks good." "Yeah." "But I never knew him from before." " Yeah, that's the point." " I have nothing to go by." "Hey." " Everything OK?" " Yeah." "How come you're not out there?" "'Cause Willie's talking with everybody and I just wanted to get away for a second." " You and him still OK together?" " Yeah." "We're thinking about maybe settling down." "But he's so busy with work right now." "You know, I was really sorry to hear about your father." "He was a good man." " Maybe we should back out there." " Erica." "What about your new father?" "You like him?" "He's all right." "Did you get my letters?" "[cheering]" "They must have forgot to switch the fuse box." " [woman] There you are." " [Erica] Hi, Ma." " [woman] Looks like there's a blackout." " [Leo] Yeah." "[woman] Erica, why don't you let your cousin be?" "See if they need anything out there." " Excuse me, Aunt Kitty." " Yeah." "I just wanted to thank you and your husband for the meeting tomorrow." "I really appreciate that." "You know I'd do anything for your mother." "She's not doing too well." "You should know that." "Her heart is getting weaker." "Leo!" "[man] Hey, Leo." "What's up, buddy?" "How you doing?" "Did you get a beer or something?" "No, I'm all right." "Hey, I just want to tell you, me and the guys really appreciate what you did." " Didn't say nothing to the cops about us." " I would never fold on you, you know that." "I want you to come work with us." "Tomorrow, when you see Frank, tell him." "All right." " Come have a beer with us, OK, Leo?" " You've had enough for everybody." "Leo, we're all going to go to the club this week, like we used to." " Sounds excellent." " Be good." " Hey, Leo, what's going on?" " What's up, buddy?" "Gonna say hi?" "[Mrs. Handler] Excuse me." "Everyone." "Everyone..." "I just want to say that I am very happy to have you all here." "And..." "The last few years have been..." "Well, sometimes not so easy." "But that's all over now." "And so, from now on, we're going to have nothing but good times." " That's all I want to say." " [clapping]" "Let's have some coffee, if I can find the pot." "Ma." "I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry." "For everything." "Don't worry about it." "Go on." "Be with your friends." "Have a good time." "What's up, Todd?" " [Todd] Leo, sit down." "Talk to us." " [Leo] How you doing?" "[ELECTRIC RAIL CORP]" "Bye, Denise." "And my best to your mother." "[man] Send him in." "Denise." "Leo." " Nice to finally meet you." " It's nice to meet you too." "Sorry you had to wait." "Sit down." "Thanks." "So, how's your mother?" "She's OK." "She's trying, you know, she's battling." "We had a lot of nice conversations about you." "She's a wonderful woman." "Supporting you by herself all those years took a lot of guts." "I know." "I'm going to do everything I can to make it up to her." "My wife and I, we tried to help her out, but... she wouldn't take any." "I admire that." "I know the last couple of years have been pretty hard on her." "You got yourself in some trouble." "You stole a couple of cars?" " Yeah." " You did a little time, huh?" "I know it's pretty tough in there, but the business world ain't that much different." "Sometimes you gotta have eyes in the back of your fucking head." "So, you know what we do here?" "If it's on a train, if it's on a New York subway, we make it." "Or we fix it." "Couplers, brakes, transformers, everything." " Had any experience with stuff like that?" " I could learn." "Good." "Good." "There's some very good training programs out there for machinists." "I could make a call." "I really need to support me and my mother right now." "How long would a program like that take?" "A good machinist - a couple of years." "But you'd have a good union job waiting for you here when you were through." "Four, 500 a week." "And I could help you along a little, till you graduate." "What about Willie?" "He didn't go to school." "He thought maybe I could work with him." " I don't think that's such a good idea." " What does he do?" "He deals with supplies mostly." "I don't know." "I really think that you should look into a program." "I'd have to think about that." "All right." "Uh, look, why don't..." "Why don't you and your mother come to the house Saturday night for dinner?" "All the family will be there, it'll be very nice." "OK." "Leo." "Thanks for coming." "Now, look." "You're a nephew now and I'd really like to help you." "["Samba de Janeiro" by Bellini]" "[CLUB RIO]" "Hey, man." "How you doing?" "All right?" "How you doing?" " Ricky." " Hey, Willie, what's up, man?" "Hey, this is my friend Leo." "Leo, this is Ricky." "We went to Francis Lewis together." "Thanks for hooking me up with Ross." "He put in my system." "I like the way it sounds." " I told you he's the best." " So what's up?" "What do you want?" "Give me two Millers, a Jim Beam and some rum and coke for them right there." "Put it on my tab." "Willie, I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do." "About what?" "Frank?" "Yeah." "You don't gotta go to school." "He tried that same shit with me when I started." "I convinced him, "Let me work with the suits."" "Well, how did you do that?" "He let me hang out with them and I earned their respect." "You're throwing a lot of fucking money around." "What is it you do for this guy?" "Why don't you come down with me tomorrow and see for yourself?" "If you like it, we'll talk to Frank about it." "I'm just asking, 'cause you know I can't get into no trouble." "You won't." "I won't let you get into trouble." "Look, Frank's a great man." "We got a real chance with him." "You know my mother spent her whole fucking life on handouts." "Now I got fucking money in my pocket, the sky's the limit." "Yeah, but you was always good with people." "I'm not too good with words." "Hey, you're my best friend." "I'm gonna look out for you." "I'll get you in." "I know." "I just hope it works out, 'cause I would like that a lot." " I wanna work with you." " Great." "Next week." "So what did you think about Belva?" "She's good from far, but far from good, you know?" " Your cousin's very beautiful." " Yeah, she is." "Come on, handsome, dance." "Come on." "Come on." "Dance." "[man] Raise your hands." "Empty your pockets." "OK, you're all right." "Go ahead." "Thanks, Glenn." "They got a lot of fucking security here." " It's all right that I'm coming down here?" " Yeah, you're fine." "They all know me here." " So what is this place?" " This is Borough Hall." "The train businesses live and die here." "Today we're going after contracts worth $ 14 million." "And there's going to be a fucking fight 'cause all our rivals are going to be here." "Right now. our main competition is with the Weltec Corporation." "That's run by Mani Sequiera and Hector Gallardo." "They're a minority company. so they're guaranteed ten percent of business." "Frank says Sequiera paid off two councilmen to get that deal." "Paul Lazarides works right under Frank." "He makes our presentations to the Transit Authority." "At the head of the authority is Al Granada." "My job is to do whatever I can to keep him happy." "so that he'll keep sending the work our way." "Do I look OK?" "I don't wanna call no attention to myself." "You look great." "Come on, let's go in." "[bangs gavel]" "We now come up on order 42399, regarding the replacement of the train rectifiers on the Queens and Bronx lines." "After careful review, weighing both price and performance ratings, the committee has awarded this contract to the Electric Rail Corporation of Maspeth." "Make a note of that." "Next." "Order 46964." " It's for 230 couplers, all for the subway..." " Mr. Supervisor, please." " Hector, let me finish." " But that contract is part of our guarantee." " You're wrong." " We get the rectifiers." "That's the deal." " Hector, let me finish, please." " I knew it." "The deal for minority quotas is 1 0% of the business - which 1 0% is up to us." "If it was up to me, Weltec wouldn't get anything, 'cause of your failure rates." " That's 'cause of them." " Let me finish." "They're trying to put us out of business." "You're a part of it." "I want to make a protest with the inspector general." "There have been several investigations into the allegations made by Weltec." "And we have been repeatedly cleared of any wrongdoing." "They know this." "But they continue to persist with these outrageous accusations." " And I think they owe us an apology." " I owe you an apology?" "Yes." " [Granada] Let's get on." " [Lazarides] You give me the finger?" "I'm gonna knock you right into the middle of next week." "[Granada] What do you think I'm doing?" "Running some kind of three-ring circus?" "Sr. Gutierrez." "I want to speak with you." " I have nothing to say." "Hector." " Hey." "I'm your friend." "I know what you're doing." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Why don't you come and work for us instead of those cabrones?" " Don't waste my time." " Hey." "You'll never be as white as they are." "Let's go." " Who's this?" " That's Leo." "You'll get to know him." "I'm not in the mood to make any new friends today." "It'll be all right." " [Granada] Who's that?" " [Willie] Frank's nephew." " Did he do time?" " Yeah." "[Granada] You got the money?" "Say hello to your uncle for me." " See you around, Willie." " All right." "Take it easy." "What the fuck was that about?" "Nothing." "It's just he's very worried about wires." "Either that or he's got a thing for me." "Seems pretty fucking weird to me." " Does he get a cut of everything?" " Listen, don't worry about it." "He's a city official." "It's just the way the system works." "Now here's the good part." "That's for you." "Pretty good, huh?" " A little pocket change." " You must have saved up a lot." "No, I think I spent it all on your cousin." "So that's it." "Next week, I'll take you down the yards, into the tunnels." "Sounds good." "Leo, come on, are you ready?" "We gotta go soon." "Ma." "I got you something." "What are you doing?" "You don't have to get me anything." "I wanted to." "I just thought you needed it." "Leo, you can't." "Every dollar is saved, you know that." "It's beautiful." "Thank you." "Now, come on." "Frank is sending a car for us." "All right." "I'm just gonna change real quick." "That's it right there, that's their house." "[door bell]" " [Kitty] Bernard, get the door." " [Bernard] I'm sitting down." " [Mrs. Handler] Sorry we're late." " Oh, good." "Come on in." "Sit down, sit down." "Do me a favor, Willie, sit over there." " Sit over here, Leo." "Good." " [Mrs. Handler] Oh, hi, Bernard." " This is a really nice house." " Thanks, I'm glad you like it." "We're doing a little work on it." "I'm building a family room." " The assholes wake us up every morning." " Erica, is that necessary?" " [Kitty] Please, don't start." " [Leo] Ma, can I have some lemonade?" " This all looks delicious." " It's wonderful." "They got great food." " [Kitty] It's a little rich sometimes." " [Erica] This is Bernie's." "Give him it." "Will you pass the rice back when you've finished with it?" "So, Leo, did you tell your mother what we talked about?" "What was that?" "I told him I thought maybe he should look into some training program as a machinist." "[Mrs. Handler] Yeah, that sounds terrific." "Actually, I went out with Willie and I'm thinking of working with him." "Yeah, I want to talk to you about that." "[Mrs. Handler] That sounds good." "Two of 'em work together, that sounds good." "I don't understand." "I mean, I thought we had this whole conversation." " I'm not comfortable taking your money." " Money?" "Oh, no." "We've been through all this." "Nobody's giving us any money." " Why can't they work together?" " Erica." "Sorry." "Leo, I hope everything works out for you." "Being round the business, maybe you'll learn something." "I really hope so." "Good." "Good." "OK, good." "Clean plate club, OK." "You got the hot mustard there?" "You gotta have the hot mustard." "[woman's footsteps]" "Erica." "Hey." " What?" " I wanna show you something." "What?" " What is it?" " Open it up." "Oh, Willie." "We'll tell everyone this weekend." "I want to make this right." "I love you." " So where are we going?" " We're going to the Sunnyside yards." "The guys will be there." "They're waiting for us." "There's someone new I want you to meet that's working with me now." "What are we going to do down there?" "We take out our competitors' trains." "Short their stuff out, make sure it don't work right." "Make it unreliable, and we get the jobs." "Tonight, it's Weltec's trains." "Remember those fucking guys we had the run-in with at Borough Hall?" "I just want you to stand back and watch tonight." "Everything's going to be all right." " Boys, what's going on?" " How you doing?" " What's up, Dante?" " How you doing, Todd?" "Hey, Leo." "Raymond, that's Leo." " How you doing, man?" " What's going on, how are you doing?" "He's coming down with me to make a drop." "You ever in Local One or Local Three?" "No." "'Cause we don't deal with construction." "I don't know nothing about that." "All right, well, you're here 'cause your friends clear you." "All right, we're going down." "[Willie] Leo, stay here." " Make sure nobody comes down, all right?" " All right, I'll hang right here for you." "Got you those Knicks tickets." "This is for you." "I don't want it, Willie." "You gotta get your guys off the tracks." " What are you talking about?" " You've been moved out." "Weltec came in here last week and they put 2k right there." " And they got the muscle to back it up." " Come on, you know how this works." "Somebody comes to you with a better offer, you come back at us." "Word is Electric Rail's going under and Weltec guaranteed they'd match any offer." "Now, Willie, get 'em off the tracks, 'cause I got the cops coming down here." "Keep going." "Come on." "You wouldn't do that to us." "[alarm blares]" " What the fuck are you doing?" " Jump." "Willie!" "Will!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" " Nothing." " Nothing?" "What do you mean, nothing?" "You a troublemaker?" "I oughtta crack your fucking head open, you know that?" "Turn that thing off." " What the fuck you gonna do with that?" " Turn that fucking thing off." "I'm talking to you." "You got some ID?" "Don't fucking do it, man." "Put your hands up." "Turn around." " You little fucker!" " I didn't do nothing!" "I oughtta break you down, motherfucker." "[phone rings]" " [Mrs. Handler] Hello." " [Willie] Mrs. Handler. is Leo there?" "I'm here, Ma." "You can hang up." "[Willie] You've gotta know." "I didn't mean to do it." "You know that." "What the fuck happened?" "You said everything would be all right." "Everything got fucked up." "Did anyone see you?" "What did you do?" "What do you mean?" "A fucking cop came down and beat me on my fucking head." "You OK?" "Yeah, I'm all right, but I don't know about the cop." "All right." "We can't panic." "I'll talk to Frank and he'll know what to do." "Don't worry." "Leo." "The borough can't afford arrests and investigations." "The fucking politicians are in on it." " You understand?" " I understand." "[Erica] Willie." "Hey." "I didn't know you were staying here tonight." "[Erica] I had to get out of that fucking house." "[banging on door]" "[Erica] Who's that?" "[cocks gun]" " Who is it?" " Raymond." "What the fuck happened?" "We can't talk right now." "Get the guys and we'll meet back at the office tonight." "All right?" "Is that blood on your hands?" "It's nothing." "I cut myself." "Go home." " [Erica] Who was it?" " It was just someone from work." "Now?" "Don't worry about it." "Just go back to sleep." "[phone rings]" "Hello." " Hold on." " Who is it?" "I don't know." " Yeah?" " [man] Some trouble this morning?" " Who is this?" " [man] You know the yardmaster is dead." "And that cop may not make it either." " Hector, is that you?" " [man] You come forward." "Weltec has some very good lawyers." "Don't call here again." "What does everybody want?" "I'm sorry, it's so crazy." "I didn't know you were gonna be here this morning." "I can't wait till we get married." "We'll tell my mother." "Then we'll get married." "We're gonna have a whole family." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "I'm tired." " ¿ Busca al señor Olchin?" " Si." "Él está en ese cuarto." "Está en un meeting." "Conglomerates lose the defense contracts, then they're back in the train business." "[man] We understand, but there's nothing we can do." "I'm getting squeezed." "The conglomerates come and take away the work at the top." "The minorities get the work at the bottom." "I'm squeezed in the middle." "Frank, take it easy." "You gotta wait till after the election." "After this election?" "The next election?" "There's always an election." "You have to be patient, Frank." "Right." "Well, you listen to me." "You gotta kill these minority quotas or I'm out of business." "Simple as that." "It's too hard now." "We got this killing at the yards." "Who knows where that's gonna go?" " You know anything about that, Frank?" " No." "I do know if it were any of my guys, I'd fucking kill them." "We hear that cop's still alive, Frank." "He's in a coma." "If he pulls through, and he turns out to be the business, all hell's gonna break loose." "[man] The cops'd be all over us." "There's no way we could control it." " ¿ Lo encontró?" " Si, si." "What is it?" " It's me." " Hey, Willie." "What do you need?" "I want to talk to you about something." "I'm very busy right now." "It's no big deal." "I can take care of it myself." "Right." "Good." "Good." "[man] What I'm telling you here is that my company's in serious fucking trouble." "[TV news] A transit worker is dead and a police officer is in a coma after a predawn attack at the Sunnyside repair yards in Queens." "Police say Officer Gerald Rifkin responded to an alarm call at the yards just after one o'clock this morning." "Ten minutes later. police backup units discovered Officer Rifkin face down and unconscious on the tracks." "The body of yardmaster Elliot Gourwitz was also found nearby in his office." "He had bled to death from a single stab wound." "Gourwitz had worked for the MCT for 14 years." "Queens Borough President, Arthur Mydanick, was shocked at the incident." "I was very upset to hear about this." "We're not gonna stand for these attacks." "We're gonna put finding the assailants top of our agenda." "[newsreader] Officer Rifkin remains in critical condition." "And tonight." "police are still without a suspect." " Nice." " I need milk." " I'll get it, Aunt Val." " Oh, thanks, honey." "You still go to Walbows?" " Yeah." "Sometimes." " [buzzer]" " Leo, is that for you?" " [Leo] I got it, Ma." " What's going on?" " We gotta talk." " The guys are waiting for us downstairs." " I don't..." "Willie!" "We're having some cake." "Come on in." "Thank you, Mrs. Handler." "I can't right now." "But Erica's here." "Don't you wanna come in?" "Come on." "[Erica] Come on in." "Hey." "I didn't know you were here." "[Erica] Yep." "Hi." " Hi, Mrs. Olchin." " You look very handsome tonight." "Thank you." " Excuse me." "I gotta run." " No, no, no." "Willie, come here." "Come here." "Ma..." "Willie and me, we talked about maybe getting married." "When did this happen?" "We talked about it last night." " What about school?" " I'm still gonna finish." "This is a very big step." "Don't you think we should discuss it?" "[buzzer]" "[Leo] Will, is that them?" "Yeah." "No, thanks." "I've really gotta go." "I didn't know we were going to get into this now." "[Kitty] I think we should discuss this." " [buzzer]" " Hey, Will, they're waiting." "Sorry." "Let's go." "Leo..." "I got a call from Weltec." "That guy Hector." "They heard about what happened." "They wanna offer me protection if I come forward and talk to their lawyers." "They'd do anything to get something on Frank." "Don't you fucking turn on me, Willie." "Of course not." "I hung up on the fucking guy." "I'm just saying that we gotta stay tight here." "You gotta listen to what the guys have to say." "Just listen to what they have to say." "Because we're in a very tough situation." " What's up, Todd?" "What's going on?" " Take a seat in the back." "[Raymond] That cop you hit." "he's a big fucking problem for us." "If he wakes up, we're all in trouble." "We don't know what you might do to stay out of jail." " I wouldn't fuck you." " You get caught now and it's life for you." "Will, you know I wouldn't do that." "What happened?" "I thought you were going to talk to Frank." "Frank's got no pull with the police." "[Raymond] He's on the fourth floor, Booth Memorial." "Four beds to a room." "Todd's friend's an orderly." "He works the night shift." "He'll get you in." "They got one officer in front of the ward, that's it." "He's on an eight-hour shift." "Wait till he takes a leak, then you go inside." "That guy's a fucking cop." "Nobody wants us, Leo." "It's the only thing we can do." "I don't know if I can do this." "[Raymond] Well, you think about it, 'cause the only thing that cop saw was you." "If you can't take care of this for us, we gotta take care of it ourselves." "We are not going after that fucking cop, you understand?" "All right." "You guys wait here." "Todd's gonna talk to his guy." "Come on." "Leo." "If anything happens... if anything goes wrong... then you run." "And you get the fuck out of the city." "I'll look in on your mother." "I feel like I'm gonna fucking die." "Come on, man." "Break's over soon." "Don't you fucking back out." "[door bangs]" "Well, now, how are we feeling?" "[cop] We called your family, Jerry." "They're on their way down." "[doctor] You were out cold there for a while." "Just rest." "[door opens]" " [Willie] What happened?" " Goddamn motherfucker ran away!" "Your friend is fucking dead, Willie." "You hear me?" "He's fucking dead." "[buzzer]" " What's wrong?" " He didn't come home last night." " What happened?" " I don't know." "He missed his parole meeting this morning." "They're looking for him." "They said he's in violation." "He's in violation." "Sit down." "Calm down." "What if... what if something happened?" "Val, listen to me." "You're my sister, I love you, and you can't let this keep killing you." "You hear me?" "Hm?" "OK, gentlemen." "Right in here." "All the way down the tracks." "Take your pictures of our circuit layouts from the train signal boxes." "Build them to the specs." "Preference will be given to minority companies for a portion of these contracts." " Think about what I said?" " Get off." "Pendejo." " You wanna help us out a little here?" " I wouldn't even bother with a bid on this." " What?" " Word come from the inspector general." "The cop that was hit went through the books and come up with a suspect." "It's your nephew." "Sorry I have to be the one to tell you." " You're gonna get caught." " Shut the fuck up." "You'll be the first one to go." "Goddammit!" "[Frank] Why didn't you tell me?" " We were gonna handle it on our own." " On your own?" "You fucking idiot." "This could be devastating for us." "If the borough connects us to it, we're out of business - and we could all go to jail." "I should never have let him go down there with you." "[Willie] It's gonna be all right." "Leo's gone." "Nobody knows he was working for us." "They're not gonna stop investigating." "What, do you think there's a statute of limitations for a murder case?" "[Frank] Who killed the yardmaster?" "Was it Leo?" "I understand." "You're trying to protect your friend." "Frank, we have to distance ourselves from your nephew, issue a denial to say that he never worked here." "I'll talk to the accountants, make sure they didn't file any W-2s." "I'll also put out a statement that we're all very saddened by the turn of events, etc." "Please, none of that's gonna hold." "At some point it's gonna lead back to us." "What we gotta do is talk to this cop, see what it'll take to make him remember things differently." "Tonight's the borough president's party." "I'll talk to Seymour, see if it's something we could pursue." "I thought I could help." "I thought I was gonna help him." "I'm sorry." " What, are we waiting for them?" " We're always waiting for them." " Hello?" " Hey, Bernie." " Hey." " How you doing?" "[knocks]" " You ready?" " Yeah, we'll be right down." "Right down?" " What's the problem?" " Is Willie downstairs?" "[Frank] Yeah." "Well?" " [Kitty] They're thinking of getting married." " I don't wanna talk about it with him here." "He's not my father." "Your mother looks really upset." "Don't you think you should discuss it with her?" " Get the fuck out of my room." " Hey." "It's all right." "Listen, you do what you wanna do." "You wanna upset your mother, go ahead."
