"Yeah, we just got the word." "Come on, we're gonna head downstairs." " Have you got everything ready?" " We're all set." "Got it?" " All right." " Easy, easy." "There you go." " It's done." " You will keep watch out here." "It is taken care of." "They'll use the service elevator." "I instructed them to take it to the warehouse until a decision is made." "I don't think there was much notice taken of the delivery because of the hour." " So there is no need..." " Is she gone?" "Mrs. Thompson has left, yes." "The children?" "A taxi to the station." "All of them." "And you?" "I'm sorry?" "You." "Did you know?" " I don't understand." " Owen and my wife." "Did you know?" "I tend only to you." "That is all I do." "That is my life." "You need to leave." " Nucky, please, I beg you..." " it's not safe." "They're coming." "That's what the crate's about." " You have to go." " I will not leave you alone." " There's Gareth and the others." " They are only men you pay." " How can you trust them?" " I need to reach Eli." "Get word to Mickey Doyle." "Try Chalky at home." "If he's not there, call him at his club." "He can..." " What?" " There is nothing." " You haven't even..." " There is no one." "The line is dead." "Nucky!" "Son of a bitch!" " All right?" " Ja." " Everyone knows this is you." " We don't have time." "Okay." "No, no, no, no." "It's okay, it's okay." "You know who I am, right?" " Yes." " I need to take your car." "Here, take this." "Here's $500." "Just take it." "We must go now." "Head to Lolly's." "We'll set up there, see if the phones work." "I need to reach Eli." "And cash." "I'm going to need cash." "You were right about the men." "Whoever's left, they can't be trusted." "I'll have to tap Chalky, which'll cost me, but I'll get it back later." "Just for now, I have to..." "What are you doing?" "What the fuck?" " Please forgive me." " What?" "God damn it!" "I said I didn't want you getting mixed up." "Come on, I'm going to move you over." "I'll drive." "We got guys all over the city." " We're looking for him." " Where?" "Between the seat cushions?" "We think he was hit." "The car's still outside." " Somebody had to see him." " Set up a roadblock." "That casino he got." "Check the hospital, the warehouse." "The titoons?" "He's tight with them, too." "Tell them we'll pay. $25,000." "That's a fortune to a jigaboo." "I want him in front of me on his knees or on a slab." "And find her something to eat." "She's starving." "You wanna call Masseria?" "Give him the skinny?" "I'll have them hook up the switchboard again." "We're gonna need to call in his ward heelers, the sheriff, let them know it's business as usual." "My Opinion?" "No one wants any fuss." "Just so they see it's in their best interests..." " Tonino." " Yeah?" "Shut the fuck up." "I ain't working outta this dump." " Eddie." " Ja, ja, I will have it for you immediately." "No, listen to me." "We're at the hospital." "They'll help you, but I'm going to have to leave you here." "You." "Somebody." " It's an emergency." "I need help with..." " Mr. Thompson!" " Dr. Landau." " What's wrong?" "I require discretion here." "He's injured." "It was an accident." "Listen, there's a fucking wing here named after me." "Get a goddamn stretcher and..." "There he is." " Kept me waiting." " Couldn't be helped." "We had business across town." "Apologies." "You gonna introduce?" "Sam Moceri." "Come down from Buffalo, like I said." "He don't speak?" " I told you about that." " No." "In Castellammare years back." "You pinched somebody's chickens or something, right?" "But Magaddino brings Sam down personal for this part of the operation." " Right." " Well, here we all are." "It's $200 an ounce." "Straight from China." " The fuck does that mean?" " He said five pounds, $15,000." "And he doesn't appreciate you being rude." "I hope you don't mind." "You were gone all night." "I was beginning to get rather worried." " I lost track of the time." " That happens when you're in love." "You are, aren't you?" "No need to be embarrassed." "I envy you a little." "But..." "You have to be careful." " About what?" " Dreaming about things that cannot possibly come to pass, that were never yours to begin with, because that will only wind up hurting you." "You smell of the sea." "We'll hole up here, get you some help." "Eddie, I don't know what the hell you're saying." "Stay right there." "Lay that iron on the ground." "Face me." "A man get himself killed like that." "I'll keep that in mind." "Yeah, my cousin Lefty, he got three, four men coming from down South." "Slim's coming up, Boss." "Slim will be here." "Good morning." "They're here." "What good about it?" "Fifty men, shotgun," "Thompsons riding round the street." "No phone out The Ritz." "Word come around you dead." "Not yet." "Rosetti's here with Masseria's men, I'm guessing." "They're at the hotel, the hospital, everywhere." "How many guns do you have?" "Enough for me and mine." "What's that supposed to mean?" " You come round here looking for an army?" " Yes." "Ain't that just something fine?" "'Cause I ain't heard one peep about it till now." "This isn't the time for hurt feelings." "I ain't say nothing about how I feel, like you ain't say nothing except, "Jump, boy."" "I never called you..." "Owen is dead." "I can't reach Eli." "Eddie is in the car with a bullet in his gut." "He needs a doctor." "I came to you for help." "What is it you would like to do?" "Go on out and fetch him in." "Set up a cot and stow the car around back." "You safe here for the nonce." "I want it right in the middle there." "Behind me, peacock feathers." " Nice, but where we gonna find one of those?" " On a peacock." "Then I wanna find me one of them cuckoo clocks, put it in the corner." " Get the hos on their toes." " Sure." "Howdy, Red." "What do you hear?" " What an unexpected surprise." " Ain't all surprises unexpected?" "Of course." "That's what makes life so exciting." "But I thought Atlantic City wasn't the best place for you right now." "Well, I can't think of anywhere better." "In fact, I like it so much, I'm pitching my tent." "Hi ho." "What is that?" "Nucky's desk from the Ritz." " Easy, easy." " He won't need it no more." "What happened to him?" "Same thing happens to everyone, just sooner." "Mr. Rosetti..." "Gyp." "Gyp." "You're always a welcome guest here, but I have a business to run." "And you'll keep on runnin' it." "Everything gonna stay the same." "Only now you'll have a pal in charge." "What do you say, Strawberry?" "It's what I've always hoped for." "Well, how about some breakfast, then, huh?" "We've been on the go since midnight." "Make yourselves at home, and we'll do whatever we can to see that you're comfortable." "Tommy is not to come down here." "Keep him in his room." "Lock the door." " He's not here." " Just put him on the line." "I just told you he's not here." "Look, I know Torrio's bullshit." "Tell him to pick up the phone." "Who are you again?" " Where's Capone'?" " Thought you said Torrio." "I want you to listen closely." "My brother is there." "You find him." "You put him on." "Nah, there's nobody's brother." "Elias Thompson." "He's there." "He has to call me at..." " What's the number?" " You don't know it?" "Eddie does." "One triple eight." "Marine 1-8-8-8." "You got that?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "We dug him up." "This one big favor." "You understand?" "Master Samuel." "You know what I need you to do?" "I have some idea, sir." "This strictly between us." "Maybelle, your folks..." "This here ain't none of their business." "I'll make it worth your while." "Let me see him." "I don't know what I can do." "You're a doctor, aren't you?" "I'm a medical student." "And this man needs to be in a hospital." "Can't take him to no hospital." "Gonna have to be right here." "In the kitchen?" "I can clean out his wound." "Try to control the bleeding." "The rest..." "I don't know." "This could ruin me." "You realize that?" "We all take care of each other, son." "That's how it work." "Fill up as many pots as you have." "Get them boiling." "Sheets, towels, tablecloths, anything that's clean." "There's no ether, of course, so I strongly suggest you get him drunk." "Wash your hands, please." "I'm going to need help." "Bring me alcohol." "Sanitize my instrument." " Come on, it's 15 grand." " I don't know Magaddino." "Yes, you do." "I don't know him, Charlie." "All right." "Well, I do." "And there's 50 pounds of white we borrowed big from Masseria for." "We gotta start moving it, 'cause what we gotta pay off..." "You didn't hear what happened last night?" "Your mother served pork chops?" "How the fuck do I know?" "Nucky's Irishman, he went after Masseria." "They sent him back in a box." "Whichever way it goes, we need to be very careful now about who people see us do business with." "He's from Buffalo, Meyer." "And it's 15 grand." "Okay, look." "I couldn't fucking sleep last night when I was running the numbers on what we're gonna owe." "You don't think I remember?" "Down to the penny?" "Everything connects, Charlie, whether you know it or not." "You need to stop and think it through." "All right?" "You're making my head hurt." "Let this one go." " Yeah." " I'm serious." "I said yeah." " What's his name?" " Eddie." "I can't call him that." "Kessler." "Mr. Kessler, can you hear me?" "What's that?" "It's just something he's been babbling." "Give him some more whiskey." "He's on the verge of alcohol poisoning already." "Okay, okay." "Get started." "I'll need you both to hold him down." "Hold him." "Hold him!" "Okay, all right." "It's in deep." "You expecting somebody?" "Chalky White!" "Paging Mr. Chalky White!" "Y'all keep him quiet." "Should I keep going?" "Giuseppe Colombano Rosetti." "My friends call me Gyp." "How do I address you?" "You doin' it." "I'm doin' it." "Okay." "You know what's going on, don't you, around here?" "Some kind of ruckus over on the white part of town." "That's all done now." "I'm gonna be running things." "People tell me you the man to see on this side of the fence." "I come to pay my respects," "Mr. White." "Do we really need all these guns?" "Not if you put yours down first." "Look at us now." "We're almost kissing." "Okay, okay." "All right." "Okay, okay, it's out." "It's out, Eddie." "I'm not looking to put my hand in your pockets." "However things used to work, I don't operate that way." "I mean, look at me, look at you." "We got a lot in common, huh?" "And what's that?" "We both got left out in the sun too long." "Maybe you a little longer, huh?" "You just ain't done cooking yet, friend." "I'm gonna treat you good." "Better than you been treated before." "That's all I come to say." "Can we shake on that?" "One more thing." "How about I slip 25 G's in your pocket right now, you let me walk in there, drag Nucky Thompson out by his dick?" "What make you think he here?" "If I don't stitch him up now, he won't last another five minutes." "What do you say?" "I ain't seen Nucky going on three weeks now." " That's not what I heard." " Oh, you heard wrong." "I pay that man his cut and he leave me to my business." "Now what happen to him ain't none of my concern." "Still, I'll go on in and take a look." "One way or the other," "I'll still pass you the 25 G's as a gesture." "Got a little private affair going on right now." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "And I'd like it to stay private." "She see all y'all gents marching in, gonna cost me more than money." "That's something else we got in common." "We're both romantics." "Well, maybe you is." "I just aim to keep my johnson hanging in its rightful place." "I know some skirts like that, too." "$25,000." "Nucky Thompson." "Tell your friends." "I really want us to get along." "Look like we gonna need some more guns." "You can take your hand off now." "Unless you intend to asphyxiate him." "You, make sure they don't come back." "Will he live?" "I'm just a student." "25 grand to give you up." "That's a whole lot of money on the North Side." "I'll pay you." "Is that what you want to hear?" "I ain't talking about me." "You trust your men?" "I don't trust nobody, Nucky, never did." "Get me out of here." "You can name your price." "I already named it." "The club?" "On the boardwalk?" "How can I give you what I don't own anymore?" "What about him?" "Just take him somewhere safe." " See that he's comfortable." " He got any family?" "I don't know." "Let's go upstairs." "Come with me." "Come on." "Let's go." " The fuck?" " What do you think you're doing?" " I told him we had to go upstairs." " Who gives a fuck?" "It's all the same cathouse." "You want some, too?" "I'll tell Mr. Rosetti." "Hey, she'll tell Mr. Rosetti." "What are you doing?" "Just a walk around the grounds." "You say it, dear, but tell the truth." "You know that's always best." "We're going to Julia's." "Is that her name?" "It's an innocent question." "Yes." "Pretty girl, pretty name." "She doesn't look blind." "In the photograph." "That's mine." "My life." "You have no right." "I know it isn't fun to be stuck inside, but sometimes we have to put up with things that we don't like in order to get what we want." "So, jacket off." "Hang it up neatly." "Go on." "Ice cream later." "Could you two come in here?" "Please." " What's the problem?" " I'm hoping there isn't one." "I tried to explain to you this morning." "I suppose you didn't understand." "I have to remind myself you're not really a complete person." "He doesn't belong here." "Of course he does." "This is the only home he has, not in some fantasy world of yours." "Mr. Rosetti wants this man gone." "He didn't say nothing to us." "He couldn't have been clearer." "You lied to me, Richard." "That's what hurts the most." "25 grand." " That's a lot of money." "25,000." "What?" "Should I bring the car?" "No." "No, I don't need the car." "But..." "But how..." "How will..." "How will you go to the theater?" "I'm not going to a show tonight." "Then I will see to your supper." "It's all right." "It's all right." "You..." " You can have the evening off." " No, no, no." "There is still too much to do." "Eddie, do you have any family?" "Yes, of course." "A wife." "Two boys." "Really?" "Where are they?" "Dreyer..." "Dreyerstrasse." "Nummer siebzehn..." "Number 17." "Where is that?" "I don't understand." "Yes, yes." "Very famous." "I teach you in English." ""If you can keep your head" ""when all about you" ""are losing theirs" ""and blaming it on you." ""If you can trust yourself" ""when all men are doubting you." ""But make allowance for the doubting, too."" "And..." "And..." "I can't remember." "I can't remember how to say..." "Don't trouble yourself." "We'll look it up later." "Ja, when we are home." "Chalky." "How you boys holding up?" " Anything tricky?" " Everything all right." " We ain't heard nothing." " Copacetic?" "Nucky, you in here?" "Yes." "You ready to go?" "Where are you taking me?" "That's for you to decide." "And Eddie?" "Got an apartment block over on Indiana." "I'll keep him there." "What you wanna do?" "Head on out on the White Horse Pike." "Don't stop until I tell you." "Keep us hanging now." "I do my route in case I'm followed." " Smart guy." " That's how you stay alive, huh?" "So you got it?" "Go on, we trust you." "Unless you can fly." "It's right here." "Stash it all up here?" "A pound each." "You can measure it." "We said we trust you." "Hey, asshole." "You know what?" "You're under arrest." "You all right in there?" "It's fine." "Best you don't come out till I say." "Where you boys heading?" "On our way to Camden." " Oh, yeah?" "What for?" " Pick up a piano." " Don't sell any here?" " This in my grandma's house." " Say what?" " Belong to my grandma." "Why don't you step out so's I can hear you better?" "The both of youse." "You boys know who Nucky Thompson is?" "Everybody know Mr. Thompson." " You seen him around?" " He don't pass time with the likes of us." "A lot of coin for a fella who turns him in." "How much?" "25 grand." "Be some kind of fool turn his nose up at that." "Lauro, stop fucking around and check out the back." "You, droopy eye." "You do it." "What the fuck you waiting for?" "I just wondering." "About what?" "How I gonna spend my reward." "$25,000." "You worth more than that now." "So are you." "We just gonna gabble?" "You gettin' outta town, now be the gettin' time." "No, I'm not leaving." "Come again?" "This is my town." "I'm not leaving, one way or the other." "All due respect, General Custer, this ain't no spot for a last stand." "Go on back to the honky-tonk and round the boys up." "It's all right." "He's Eli's oldest." "They were left over from yesterday." "Call them day-olds, old bread, rock bread." "Used to soak them in sweet milk." "Best thing I ever tasted." "Coffee, too." "All it takes, ain't it?" "How's that?" "Go without and see what you really need." "Your boss coming in today?" "No one is." "We're closed." "Good." " I need to talk to Mr. White in private." " Yes, sir." "Willie." "You handle yourself well." "I get Atlantic City back, you get the club." "And if you don't?" "You'll have to make new friends." "Too old for that now." "Are we stuck with each other?" "I'll go down the road with you a mite further." " What you doing?" " He's my nephew." "I want you to walk back slowly." "Get away as far as you can, you understand?" "Willie, go now." "You brought my son in on this?" "They came by the honky-tonk looking." "I cut a deal." "With Torrio?" "With him." "We been on the road for 18 hours." "I need a bath, some chow." "And then you and me sit down, and we talk about who dies."
