"Mookie." "I got to talk to you." "Come on." "Come on." "All right, Mookie." "Come on." "Let's go." "Hey, Jade, don't forget to come back soon, okay?" "Hey, Mookie, take it easy, will you?" "Grabbing her arm, you're going to bust her arm." "Vito." "Jade, I do not want you in Sal's no more, all right?" "Mookie, what?" "Stop tripping." "No, you're tripping." "Read my lips." "Don't come to Sal's no more." "What are you so worked up about?" "The way Sal looks at you, about the way he talks at you." "He's just being nice." "Nice?" "He's completely innocent." "Innocent?" "I didn't stutter." "You heard me." "Look, all Sal wants to do is hide the salami." "You're really crude, Mookie." "You know that?" "I admit it, I'm crude." "Do not come in Sal's anymore." "You are not welcome." "You got a lot of nerve." "You know that?" "I'm gonna tell you something for the last time, Mookie, stop trying to play big brother to me, okay?" "I'm a grown woman !" "You can hardly pay your rent and you're gonna tell me what to do?" "Come off it!" "That makes no sense at all." "Oh, it doesn't, huh?" "You got your little $250 a week plus tips. I'm getting paid." "Peanuts." "You know, in a while, I'll be making a move, all right?" "Yeah, when?" "Don't worry about it." "When, Mookie?" "That's what I wanna know." "When?" "Don't worry about it!" "Jade, don't come here no more." "It's got..." "We're not talking about that now." "Take your skinny butt around the corner and go back home." "I'm tired of supporting a grown woman, okay?" "I'm tired of supporting a grown man, okay?" "I want to know when you're going to pack your bags and go, okay, Mookie?" "Just don't come in Sal's no more, all right?" "I'll be back." "And no more pizza, either." "I don't care if you fire me this exact fucking moment." "If you're saying what I'm thinking you're saying, you better not say it because I don't wanna hear it." "You hear this?" "Do me a favor, leave Jade alone." "You know, Mookie, not for nothing, but if you were just a little bit taller, I'd kick you right in the ass for what you're thinking." "As a matter of fact, I should kick your ass on principle alone." "Here." "You got a delivery." "is this the right address?" "Yeah..." "What is this with the..." "Yeah, it's the right address." "Mook, that's the right address." "Yeah, I wrote it myself." "Why?" "I'm checking, you know, sometimes you make a mistake and I deliver the fucking pizzas to the wrong fucking address." "All right?" "I don't make mistakes." "I don't make..." "You don't make mistakes?" "No." "Hey, hurry back, okay?" "Don't get lost." "We're still open." "Do me a favor, make a pizza, huh?" "Mr. Mayor." "I saw what you did." "That was a foolish act, but it was brave." "That child owes you his life." "I wasn't trying to be a hero." "I just seen what was happening and I reacted." "Didn't even think." "Probably wouldn't have done it on second thought if I had thought." "Yeah, Da Mayor's getting to be an old man now." "I ain't run like that in years." "I went from first to home on a bunt single." "Scored the winning run. lt was two out, in bottom of the ninth." "It was August 1, 1939." "Snow Hill, Alabama." "Ol' Mud Cat bunch-of-bones was the pitcher, now, he hated my guts." "He reared back, come down off that mound and I took off like white lightning up a black snake's ass, I..." "Maybe I ought to be a hero more often, huh?" "Maybe you shouldn't." "Don't get happy." "This changes nothing between you and me." "You did a good thing and Mother Sister just wanted to thank you for it." "I wanna thank you." "You're welcome." "Delivery from Sal's Famous Pizzeria." "What the hell took you so long?" "is it hot?" "Lady, I've never delivered a cold pizza in my life." "Come here." "You know, you think you're slick, Tina." "I know." "How else was I gonna get you up here?" "I haven't seen you for a week." "I'm working, you know." "Making money, getting paid." "Yeah. I see you forgot the ice cream again." "Oh, shit, I forgot." "Yeah, you know, your memory's getting really ridiculous. lt's disgusting." "I just forgot. I got a lot of things on my mind." "Yeah, and I really wanted some ice cream, too." "Look, if it makes you any happier, I'll run out and get some." "No, no." "That's out." "You won't come back either." "You know I can't be staying long anyhow." "How long?" "Long enough to do the nasty." "Oh, no, come on, Mookie." "That's out." "Wait a minute." "First of all, it is too hot." "All right?" "If you think I'm gonna let you get some, put your clothes on and leave here, and not see your black ass for another week, you must be bugging." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Yeah, right." "And my name is Boo Boo the Fool." "So, no nasty, huh?" "No." "Tina, let's do something else then." "What?" "Trust me." "Trust you?" "Mookie, the last time I trusted you, we ended up with a son." "Remember your son?" "I do remember my son." "His name is Hector." "You know, what are you trying to say?" "I'm a bad father?" "On the strength." "Let me talk to you for a second." "What?" "What?" "Over here." "Tina, take your clothes off." "Mookie, I already told you it's too fucking hot to make love." ""lt's too fucking hot." Why are you always cursing?" "I don't fucking curse that much." ""l don't fucking curse that much."" "What the hell are you talking about, Mookie?" "All you do is curse." "I do not." "Anyway, no rawness is jumping off tonight." "All right?" "And that's it." "No rawness?" "No." "No rawness." "Anyway, why's it always gotta be like that when you come over here?" "It's not always like that. lt always has to be fucking like that." "Mook, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "I'm not cursing." "Mookie." "Come on." "I mean it." "I'm not playing." ""l'm not playing."" "Damn, don't be so anxious." "That's right." "Take it off." "You're sweating." "Of course I'm sweating, you moron." "It's only 100 degrees in here and shit." "Look, freeze." "Don't move." "I'll be right back, okay?" "What do you mean you'll be back?" "Just stay there." "Where you going?" "I'll be right back." "What the hell you got me standing on the bed for?" "Where the hell you going?" "How's my son Hector?" "Honey, do you hear that?" "He wants to know how you are doing." "And he has the straight face of asking about it." "Good for nothing." "English !" "English !" "I want my son to speak English." "All right?" "Why don't you just get out of my kitchen?" "Bad enough his name is Hector." "Get out of my kitchen. I don't want to hear anything." "Get out." "Out, I said." "Yes, children, this is the cool-out corner." "We're slowing it down for all the lovers in the house." "I'll be giving you all the help you need." "Musically, that is." "This shit is cold." "It's supposed to be cold." "It's an ice cube." "Later for your shit." "What?" "Tina, you don't got a forehead, you got a eight-head." "Mookie, you're funny as shit." "You got one of them Sade foreheads." "Fuck you !" "God damn !" "It's a big-ass forehead. I need an iceberg, rather than this ice cube." "Thank God for lips." "Thank God for the neck." "Thank God for kneecaps." "Thank God for elbows." "Thank God for thighs." "Thank God for the right nipple." "Thank God for the left nipple." "Feels good." "You like, she likes, she likes." "Amen." "I got to be going." "You better come back." "I'll be back tonight." "You better come back or else I'm gonna kick your ass." "Oops." "Guess I got to be back, then." "All right." "All right." "Get out of here." "I got to go." "Bye." "Bye." "I'm not leaving yet." "Get out of here!" "All right." "Later." "Later." "So, just out of curiosity, how long are you gonna stick around here?" "You mean tonight?" "No, I mean, the neighborhood." "Well, I figure about 50 years." "Yeah, because I'm going into the real estate business, you know." "I figured I'd build a big high-rise in the neighborhood." "Yeah." "A lot of people want to move here." "Why not?" "You want a condominium?" "You put a couple of straws in there, Mr. Trump?" "But of course." "Mr. Trump's." "Trump's Pizza." "I heard of that place, man." "No, it's Trump's Plaza." "Do me a favor, get out of here." "See you, Sal." "Take care, Salvatore." "Pino, take the soft drinks out of the back and load up here, okay?" "Okay, Pop." "Sal, if you want me to deliver any faster, you gotta give me a jet rocket or something 'cause I can't be running with pizzas." "The cheese ends up on one side." "Mookie, I didn't say nothing." "You must have a guilty conscience." "You got a guilty conscience?" "Sal, I'm not guilty of anything." "Come on, you gotta be guilty of something, otherwise you wouldn't come in here, saying the things you said." "Come on, Sal." "Where we going?" "Oh, shit!" "Vito, give me a hand, come on." "Come on." "What?" "What the fuck's the matter?" "Vito, I want you to listen to me. I'm your brother." "I may smack you around every once in a while, but I'm still your brother." "So what, Pino?" "So fucking what?" "I love you, man." "I'm listening." "I'm listening." "Good, 'cause I want you to listen." "Jesus Christ, Pino, I said I'm fucking listening." "Good, Vito, black, white." "No." "No, no, no." "No." "No?" "What the hell you talking about?" "Are you listening to me?" "Try to stop busting my balls, Pino, I said I'm fucking listening to you 10 fucking times already." "Mookie's not to be trusted." "I trust him, Pino." "No." "No mulignan can be trusted." "The first time you turn your back, boom !" "The spear right here, man, in the back." "Yeah?" "How do you know this?" "I know." "How do you know, man?" "I know. I read." "Give me a break, Pino, I never seen you read nothing in your fucking life." "Read your history." "It's historical." "He, them, they're not to be trusted." "What do you want me to do about it?" "I want you to be on fucking guard, man." "Fucking hit me?" "You be on guard 'cause Mookie has Pop conned, so we got to look out for him." "You don't know what the fuck you're talking about." "And that's exactly what I'm talking about." "Yeah?" "We'll be right there, Pop, in one minute." "You better listen to what I say." "I'll rip you. I'll fuck you up." "You know I'll fuck you up." "You know something, Pino?" "What?" "You don't know everything you think you know, man." "You think you know, but you don't know it, man." "Mookie, he listens to me." "You don't, man." "He does and you fucking don't."

"I've been trying to organize a boycott of Sal's Famous, you know what I'm saying?" "I almost had to bust him in the head today, man." "He gonna tell me, tell me, Radio Raheem, to turn down my box and shit, man, and didn't even say please." "Who the fuck he think he is, Don Corleone and shit?" "He make much money off us black people and all he got up there on the wall is Italians." "You know, Sylvester Stallone, okey-doke-looking motherfuckers." "You know what I'm saying, homeboy?" "On the strength." "Yeah, we shouldn't buy one slice." "Not spending one red penny up in there till he put folks of color up on that wall." "That's what I'm talking..."
