[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Hey!
That's my purse.

[YELLS] Police!

Stop him!
He's got my purse!
Stop him!

COP: Hold it!

MARIAN:
Give me my purse!

Hey! Give it to me.
Give it to me!Come on, lady.

[GRUNTS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Come on, lady.
Come on.

Officer, please,
just let me
have my purse.

After you file a report.
That's the way it works.

Come on, people.
Gangway, let
somebody through.

Wait. No. I have
a handkerchief
in my purse.

Do you mind?
I would like to
blow my nose.

All right, all right.Thank you.

Hey, Perez,
look who we got here.

Oh, my favorite punk,
Rocco. Hands in
the cookie jar, huh?

Up to his armpits.
She's the victim.

Okay. Stash her and put him
in holding and I'll get
on it as soon as I can.

You got it.
Come on, lady.Let's go.

Come on, lady.
Come on.

Watch out there.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

OFFICER: How many times
do I have to tell you?

We got a procedure
and we got to
follow it. Okay?

MARIAN:
No, it's not okay.

Look, all I want
is I want my purse
and I want to go home.

But how can I?
You have my keys.

You have my money.
I can't even
take the subway.

Lady. Lady,
give me a break.

We do things
as fast as we can.

Now, you wait here.
We'll call you.

[SOBBING]

Hi.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not.

[SNIFFLING]

You ever have
a black eye before?

Once. Why,
are you a doctor?

No. No, I'm an attorney.
My name's Edward Moran.

What are you
in here for?

Well, what's that
supposed to mean?

Well, what did you do?

Me?Yes.

[STAMMERING]
I didn't do anything.
I was mugged.

And then I was
hit in the face

and I've been sitting here
for two hours without
even a drink of water.

Me? I'm not a criminal.

Back home we didn't
even have to
lock our house.

Here, you never even know
who you're talking to.

I'll tell you what,
you give me a smile and
I'll get you out of here.

Is that a deal?

I don't feel
like smiling.

It'll make
my face hurt.

That's too bad.

Guess I'm going to
have to get you out
of here anyway.

MARIAN:
This car is yours?

Yeah.
Haven't you heard?

Big lawyers
have big cars.

[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS] Yeah.

This ought to
bring you around.

Um...

Oh, it's only brandy.
It's okay.

[EXCLAIMS]

You all right?

I guess you're lucky
you weren't
killed, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

How long you been
in New York?

Um, 11 months.

And you're single,
from Indianapolis,

and you work for
Zimwear Fashions.

How did you know that?

I'm a psychic.
I read palms.

Really?

[LAUGHS] No. I was
with the desk sergeant

when he went
through your purse.

[CHUCKLES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Thank you.

Sure.

You know, I should
walk you to your door.

Oh, no. No.

You sure?Yeah.

[STUTTERING]
I'll be fine.
Really.

Yeah?Yeah.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

What for?

I haven't
the slightest idea.

[LAUGHS]

It must be
something, though.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[TRAFFIC BUSTLING]

MARIAN:
Now the secret here

is not to sew the bodice piece
to the actual shell
of the blouse.

It can be added later

and therefore
it could be three or four
different designs

all sewn to
the same shell.

It's terrific.

Now, can we make
this shell out of
a cheaper material?

I don't think so.

To match the cloth,
we'd have to special order,
and so we lose.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

She say she's cold.

Yeah? Well, tell her
it's a lot colder
out in the street.

[SIGHS]

Now, by adding
a waistband
and three seams

and a couple
of buttons here...

...we have an ensemble.

More cloth than labor.
You're playing
my tune, toots.

You want to go
for a cut?

Sure.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

Okay. I figure
they want to go
9.95 apiece.

Take off their 30%.

Drop to $7.

One buck for
miscellaneous.

If we don't beat $6.00,
we're going to
lose the contract.

Well, can we do it?

Oh, sure,
if we had new machines
and more girls.

All we can do
is bid 5.85
and go for it.

Best, we squeak through.

Worst, we close
the doors.

Who in the hell
is that?

[EXCLAIMS] It's him.

Oh, my God!
It's him.

It's him?Uh-huh.

You mean it's him?Yes, him!

Oh, my God.
Look at me.

Hi. Am I...
Am I interrupting
something?

Yeah. We were just
going to sit down
and play a game of jai alai.

I'm Sylvia.Hi.

Where'd you leave
your horse?

My name's Edward.
And whose... What horse
are we talking about?

Well, the way I heard it,
the prince always
comes on a horse.

Oh, I see. I see.

You should've
told me that
you were coming.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Fine?

Really fine?

Really. Yeah.

Really? Good.

That's it? "How are you?
Fine. Really. Really."

I thought you were gonna
ask her out on a date.

Sylvia!

Well, what?
I mean, it's not
so difficult.

Your serve.

Actually, I was just
in the neighborhood

and I thought I'd stop by
to see how Miss Winslow
was getting along

and to find out whether
or not she'd like to have
dinner with me tonight?

Did you mention
that it was a fancy
French restaurant?

No, I didn't, but actually
that's a good idea.

[STUTTERING] No.

EDDIE: No?I'm sorry.

I have a lot of work to do.
I have to get
this proposal in.

Baloney! The man says
you need a meal.

Sylvia, please.

Oh, shut up, toots.
Get going.

Sylvia.Go on.

[LAUGHING]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING SOFTLY]

So, young girl with dream
comes to the big city,

takes her lumps
and makes it, huh?
Is that it?

Yeah, that's it.
Except I haven't
made it.

Well, not yet.

Sometimes I think
I'll just pack my bags

and get back
on the bus.

Really?

[CHUCKLING]
No. Not really.

I'm not a quitter.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, okay.

There's part of me
that really believes.

And last, but not least,
I don't have anything
to go back to.

Nothing? Don't you have
a family or something?

No. No, I lived
with my grandmother,

and she died
about a year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, in a way
I'm glad, selfishly.

Ooh! Here's something
that I know.

Pate foie gras.

Uh, isn't that...

Yeah. That's goose liver.

[EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST]
Oh, no.

I'm not crazy
about it either.

I wish I could speak
another language.

I'll tell you a secret.

I speak Italian.

Really?Yeah.

Have you ever
been to Italy?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Several times.

[EXCLAIMS]
God, I would
love to go there.

We'll go together.

Not tonight,
but, well, sometime.

Why not?

♪ Deep inside the night

♪ Hidden from the light

♪ There you wait for me

[MARIAN CHUCKLING]

[CHUCKLES] Voila!

my three famous words.

♪ Thanks to you I found

♪ The hand

Uh...

I'm sorry. I...

[CHUCKLES] I guess
I'm just a little
old-fashioned.

Well...

That's okay.

I think that's what
I like about you.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

And besides,
it's a little late.

I've got to get up
and go to court
in the morning.

[STUTTERS]

You're not...What?

...married, are you?

No. No, I'm not.
I promise.

[CHUCKLES]

Good night.

I had
a wonderful evening.

Yeah.

Yeah. So did I.

What's your
favorite color?

Peach. Why?

[CHUCKLING]

[SIGHING]

[CAR ENGINE STARTING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

MAMA:
Eddie? Eddie?

How are you doing?
Hi, Mom.

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

Where's Papa?

He's resting.Yeah? How are you?

[SIGHING]

Did you take
your pills today?
You didn't, did you?

[SIGHS] Who cares?
Today is my new grandson
come to visit.

I can't wait.
I get excited.

Mom, that's why
you take
the pills, though.

Edward, darling,
if you tell
somebody her name,

maybe they can
introduce themselves.

Oh, I'm sorry, Gina.
You're right.

Excuse me, Mom.
Marian...

This is my mother.
Mama, this is
Marian Winslow.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

And I'm Eddie's uncle.
You can call me Sal.

Nice to meet you.[CHUCKLING] Hi.

You know, when you
get as old as I am

you get tired of
looking at the same faces
all the time.

You got a nice one.[LAUGHS] Thanks.

You know,
Sal used to work in
the garment business.

Yeah. I had
a big plant
in Brooklyn.

I had about
100 people.

GINA: Oh, he'll
talk your ear off.
Come with me.

I'll go see
about the food.

Okay, Ma.

I'm good. I'm good.
Listen, I'll talk to you
a little later. All right?

Hey, Frank.
Come here.

Eddie!How you doing?
Good to see you.

Listen. I want to
introduce you
to somebody.

Frank, this is
Marian Winslow.

Marian, this is
my big brother Frank.

He's not bad
for an old guy.

[FRANK AND EDDIE EXCLAIMING]

I'm kidding! You're young.
You're young.
I'm just kidding, okay?

Golden boy has told us
a lot about you.

We're flattered
he finally decided
to bring you out.

Oh, thanks, Frank.
Oh, and, Gina,
you already know Gina.

She's a terrific girl.
She blew it all by marrying
Mr. Wonderful here.

[ALL LAUGHING]I'm just kidding.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Hey. How's this kid
going to grow up
if you blind her old man?

Oh, come on.
One more,
one more.

[CAMERA CLICKING]Hey, Uncle Sal!
Come on.

Come over here.
Take one of
just the three of us.

[ALL CHATTERING]

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

Well, when you going
to settle down

and give me
some grandchildren
like your brothers, huh?

What do you mean, Ma?
I got 14 ordered.

They haven't been
delivered yet.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

[CHUCKLES] Frank.

[WHISPERING]

Hello, Mama.

Where you going?Be right back, Ma.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Marian, we got to
go up to the house
for a minute.

[SIGHING]We got to go see
Pop. All right?

We'll be right back.Okay.

Go on.
I'll take care
of her.

All right.
Thanks, Gina.

Be right back.

I remember the first time
I came here. I looked
as lost as you do.

[CHUCKLES]

Come on.
I'll show you around.

Okay.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

It must be nice
having such
a big family.

Well, on the holidays,
when the other half
shows up,

[CHUCKLES]
it gets to be
a bit much.

You haven't met
them, have you?

No. I hadn't met
anyone till today.

[WATER SPLASHING]

Everybody seems
very nice, though.

Friendly.

This is just
so new to me.

I don't...

I don't quite know
how to explain it.

I wonder how much
longer Eddie
is going to be.

[EXCLAIMS]
When they start talking,
it can go on for hours.

Hours and hours.

I didn't know that
they worked together.

[SIGHS]

They have a lot
of investments.

[CHUCKLES] Eddie doesn't
talk much about his work.

I think he thinks
it bores me.

He told Frank
you're a dress designer.
Is that true?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

I still have a lot
to learn, though.

That's what
I wanted to be.

I studied.
I went to art school.

I draw.
I still draw.

Really? You should
come down to
the plant sometime.

I mean, who knows.

If business gets better,
maybe you can even
come work with us.

[CHUCKLES]

Frank would lock me
in my room
before he'd let me get a job.

Funny.
Eddie's not that way.

Eddie's different.

He's the idealist.
He's not like the others.

Boy, God. He, Frank,
Vinnie, they go at it
sometimes.

You're different, too.

So, when are you
getting married?

[LAUGHS] What? Married?

Yeah.Well, I...

[STAMMERS]
What makes you think that
we're gonna get married?

Eddie wants to settle down,

and I can't remember
the last time
he brought a girl home

to meet Mama
and the family.

Well, we really
haven't known each other
very long.

I know dear Eddie
pretty well.

He moves fast,
gets what he wants.

[INAUDIBLE]

MARIAN: I never met
anybody like him.

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

[STUTTERING]
I mean, it's just...
It's crazy.

It's going too fast.

And I feel like
I'm totally
out of control.

Drunk!
Eddie makes me dizzy.

Yeah, I've been dizzy
all my life.

Open it.
I don't have the guts.

The letter. The bid.

The contract was awarded
on a bid of $5.38.

And it's written down
here in pen,

"I'm very sorry
about this, Sylvia,"
signed "Judy."

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

I always feel
like Sam Spade
when I drink this.

I'm afraid that
this could be it, toots.

I mean, that contract
was make or break.

Well, at least
I own this building

and I can sell it
and have something to eat up
in my old age.

But remember what you said
about new girls
and new machines?

Well, sure.
But, God, you're looking
at 150 grand.

I can't raise money
like that.

And even if I could,
I'd have to go out
and find new contracts

and then start moving again,
and that takes time.

And time is money,
which we ain't got
none of that either.

Do you want a drink?

No, thank you.

Um, listen, uh...

Eddie knows so many people.
So many.

Why don't you
let me talk to him?

At least let me try.

Okay.

Betwixt you and me, toots,
that's a long shot.

And the short shot is
I go down the tubes and you,

you gotta look
for another job.

No.Yeah.

No, don't say that.

[SIGHS]

Oh, God, Marian.

The day that
you answered my ad
for a designer,

just was one of
the nicest days
of my life.

Losing this business is
going to be a lot easier
than losing you.

Well, you know something?

What?

You're not going to
lose me, not ever.

Don't you worry.
I'm going to ask around.

I'm going to...
I'm going to find you
another slot.

And then when I do,

I'm going to sock you
10% commission.

[CHUCKLING]

EDDIE: We're going.MARIAN: What?

[EDDIE AND MARIAN
CHATTERING]

Why don't you hang onto me?I don't trust you.

[GIGGLING]But you've got to trust me.
You have no choice.

Eddie, this is really crazy.
I mean, what if
somebody sees us?

I'll have to
buy the building.

[LAUGHING]

Hold on. Wait.

Okay. Right there.
Right there.Where?

Don't move. Don't move.Don't move?

Don't move.
Stay right there.

Like this?Just like that.

Here you go.
Give me your hand.

Come on.
Just follow me.
That's it.

Um...This way.

Now, right over here.

[GIGGLING]

Right here.Okay.

All right, dear.

Okay. Don't move.

I got to get this thing
off you.
I tied it in a knot.

[LAUGHING]Hang on.

All right.
Here we go.

Surprise.

[EXCLAIMING]

Oh, God, Eddie,
this is beautiful.

I've been dying
to show it to you.
Do you like it?

Like it?Yeah.

[EXCLAIMS IN DISBELIEF]

I had it redone,
for you.

You... You...

You did this
for me?

Yeah.

You see, when I got it,
it was terrible.
It was brown and cream.

It just didn't look right.
You said peach, right?

Yeah, I said peach.Yeah. Yes...

[EXCLAIMING] Oh, God!What's the matter?

Oh...

I, uh... I can't...

[CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY]

I can't handle this.
I mean...

[LAUGHS IN DISBELIEF]
You did this for me?

Nobody ever did...

You don't have to
handle anything.

Just go with it,
that's all.

Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait.

When you asked me
what my favorite color was,

you'd already
made up your mind?

Are you angry?

[CHUCKLES] Oh!

How could I be?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

♪ Wherever love takes me

♪ I will go

♪ I'll give up
all control forever

I just wish
the world would go away
just for a little while.

[CHUCKLES]
What world?

♪ I don't care

♪ As long as you are there

♪ As long as...

Eddie?Yeah?

I love you.

[SIGHS]

I love you so much.

Why me?

What do you mean?No, come on.

I want to know.

Why me?

Okay. I'll tell you.

Once upon a time,

there was an ancient legend
about a prince.

[LAUGHING]

Don't laugh.
It's true.

About a prince
who was looking
for his princess.

He traveled everywhere.

Until one day
he saw her.

And suddenly
out of the sky,

came La Fondra,

the thunderbolt.

It strikes a man
when he sees
that one particular woman.

And his heart
instantly stops

and everything changes.

And he realizes
that the most important thing
on Earth

is the possession
of that one woman.

He must have her

or he will be
lost forever.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

Anyway, it's
a loose translation

[LAUGHING]

but I think
that's pretty close.

Is this just
physical between us?

I mean...

What?Someday is this just
going to wear off?

Go away?

I love you.

[EXCLAIMING]

Are you my prince?

Yeah.
If that's what you want.

You know what I want?

[SOFTLY] What?

I want...

What?

I want to
make you happy.

I want to
make you happier
than you've ever been.

Just tell me what you want
and I'll give it to you.

Hmm.Mmm-hmm.

I don't mind.

I'm tired of
your gorgeous
body anyway.

Oh!Really.

Oh, no you're not.

Yes, I am.
I am too.
I am too.

This is good ice cream.

Do you remember
what I said?

About what?

About the physical.

Yeah, I remember.
Why?

Mmm-hmm.

Well...Well.

It doesn't wear off.
It gets worse.

Hey.

It gets worser
than worse.

[CHUCKLING]

Sometimes that's all
I think about.

[MOANING]

[MOANING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[GROANING] No!

I don't believe it.
Let me get the phone.

No, don't.I have to. Let me...

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I'm going to get it.
It could be important.

It could be
very important.

You don't know.
Hang on. Hang on.

Let me get the phone.

[EXCLAIMS]
I'm sorry.
You all right?

[FRANK CHATTERING ON PHONE]Hello?

Yeah.

Frank, yeah. What's up?

When?

Yeah.

I know, Frank.
Yeah, I understand, why does
it have to be right now?

Okay.

[STUTTERING] Okay.
No. I understand.

I'll be there.

I won't say thanks
for the phone call.

Who was it?

[SIGHS] I have
to go to Miami.

What?

I have to go
to Miami.

When?Now.

Now?Yeah.

Well, for how long?I don't know.

[SIGHING]

[EDDIE SIGHING]

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

You're not going
anywhere.

I don't have
any choice. Okay?

Eddie, talk to me.

What's there to talk about?
There's nothing
you need to know.

Well, I want to know.

Look, Marian,
it's just business.

Okay? That's all it is.
Just business.

Business is a big part
of your life.

Now, please
don't shut me out.

It's nothing
you need to know.
Okay?

[SIRENS WAILING]

No, no, no.
Don't rotate.
Don't rotate.

Go back and forth.
Back and forth.

Do you have a problem
with this machine?

No, no problem.It's okay, then?

Si.The new machines
are good.

Much better
than the old ones.
I like them.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

I guarantee it.

No problem.
You're talking
to a pro.

Just send us
what you want copied.
We'll do the rest.

You're a doll.
You're a doll, Judy.
Thanks.

Marian!

Oh, God,
it's a miracle!

[LAUGHING]Miracle!
It's just a miracle!

What is?

[HUMMING]
It is a miracle.
Yeah. Oh.

You know that company
that underbid us
at $5.38,

they can't
fill the order,

and Judy wants us to
bail her out! Huh!

Now, if Sal
can just really
get that cloth...

I can get it.
It's good as done.

Then we're going to
start making some money

as of the end
of next week!

Let's put some rouge
on these cheeks.

We're going to celebrate
with a zillion calorie
gooey dessert,

and then we're going on
a shopping spree at the mart
and we'll walk it off, huh?

I'll get Aldo
down here.

Oh, no, no. No bother.
We're going to walk.

SAL: No bother.

Wait!

Hey!

Look, I'm sorry.
New York
is a tough town.

If you go out on your own,
if something happens to you,
I'll never forgive myself.

Please, for me.
Let me call Aldo, okay?

Fine. Yeah.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

SAL: Hey, Aldo. Yeah.

Get down here.
We're going to lunch.

[PHONE RECEIVER CLICKS]

Oh, excuse me.

Do you know if there's
a display of Egyptian
cotton in the building?

Yes, upper level.
You can take the elevator
right over there.

Thanks.Thank you.

Now, I know
we can't afford to
use the Egyptian,

but it's so gorgeous.

I just want to do the
new prototype series and
then keep them all for me.

For you?Yes.

How about me?

No. No.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

SYLVIA: Did you see
what that was?

[WOMEN LAUGHING]

We got to go!

Oh, come on, Sal.

Out! Now!

No. I'm staying.
And the only place
I'm going is up.

So, please take
your hand off the door.

Go on.

You know,
I know I shouldn't
get irritated,

but sometimes
good old uncle Sal
really gets on my nerves.

Yours? I know
he spent his life
in the trade,

but one
has to wonder where.

Well, Eddie said
he made uniforms.

Figures.

Did you see that crap
that he's bringing in
from Mexico?

Oh. Those beads?Yup.

I thought
he was kidding.

No, he's not kidding.

We import them

and then we sew them
on to these
little fancy shells,

and then we unload them
by taking them around

to flea markets
all over the city.

Not only that,
he wants to use
the label.

I said, "No way."

I said if we're
going to do it,
then we get another label

and we're going to
call it Kitsch Fashions.

He said he thought
that had
a nice European ring.

MARIAN: That's great.

[GROANING]

We're leaving right now.What?

What do you mean
we're leaving?

We're going!

Move it!

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Eddie, I'm telling you,
Sal hit a man
and knocked him down.

No, I want to know
what's going on.

Is... Is he supposed
to be my bodyguard?

I want to know!

Oh, please.

Will you please
just talk to me?

Eddie!

[PHONE HANGS UP]

[CAR DOORS CLOSING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Who is that?

Sorry I have to
wake you
like this, Marian.

We have to get everybody
to Mama's house immediately.

Now, you pack a bag
with whatever you think
you're gonna need.

You got five minutes.

Are you crazy?

No.

I have my orders,

and I carry them out
to the fullest.

You capisci?

Five minutes.

[DOOR CLOSING]

Are you okay?

Me? Yeah, I'm fine.

Rudy's so beautiful.

[SIGHS]

I wish he could
stay this age forever.

I hear they went
for you today.
Is that true?

Yeah, I guess it is.

[SOBBING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Come on, hurry up.
Come on. Come on.

MAN: Come on.
Come on. All right.

I got him,
I got him,
I got him.

I got him.

MAN 1: Everybody
to the main hall.
Move on!

Rudy...He's okay.
Aldo's got him.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

MAN 2: Let's go.
Let's go.

MAN 1: Go, let's go.
Everybody to
the main hall! Move it!

MAN 2: Inside the house.

WOMAN: If I don't
get to a phone,
I'm going to scream!

MAN: You, upstairs.
Upstairs, now.

[COMMOTION]

Good night.
To bed.

Go on. Riposa.

You, andiamo.

Richie, make sure
all get to bed
and sleep.

Don't worry,
I'll take care
of them.

All right, kids,
upstairs, everyone.

And don't think
because you here,
you got no school.

Oh, buona notte.
Buona notte.

[MAN HUSHING]

Where's Eddie?

He called and said
I take care of you.

This is your first time.
I get you soup.

Oh, no, thank you.
I'm not hungry.

Don't worry.
You too thin.

You eat more.
Get fat for baby.

[GRUNTING]
I hate this new stove.
I miss my old one.

[CHUCKLES] I don't know
why the old isn't
good enough for Eddie.

He has to change
the whole house.
Make it more modern.

Mangia.

Eddie want me
to make sure
you get nice room.

His room upstairs.

That way he think of you
where you are.

How long do we
have to stay here?

Long enough.

We cook together.
I teach you
to make real bread.

Pane siciliani.
You like that?

How long?

Mariana,
nobody knows how long.

Nobody.

That's very nice,
Rudy.

Oh, thanks.

[LEISURELY CHATTERING]

Now, the Great Lakes,
the Mississippi

and the Missouri River
made it possible to go

all the way from
the Hudson Bay down to
the Gulf of Mexico.

I know you're angry,
even if you're too nice
to say anything.

I should've told you
what you were
getting into.

I wanted to...

But I couldn't.

We have to keep
our mouths shut
even among ourselves.

About three years ago,
there was a girl
married to Johnny.

Johnny is one of
the guys
who works here.

And she started talking
about the family in public,

about who was who,
who did what,
where the money came from.

Then one day
she just disappeared.

Are you saying
what I think
you're saying?

It comes down
to one of the rules.

If a husband
can't control his wife,

he won't be trusted
to control men.

Johnny had no choice.

Oh, my God!

Gina...

You're talking about
the Stone Age.

Marian, nothing
about this family is new.

[HORSES NEIGHING]

Did you...

Did you know

before
you were married?

[SIGHS]

I grew up
in the neighborhood.

You...
You just always knew.

Like the guys
who were connected,
had money...

Give you the best time.

It was glamorous.

Like the movies.

And who knows?
Maybe what he does
is part of who he is

and it turned me on.

I'll never forget
that first
limousine ride.

After that...

I was hooked.

How do you
deal with it?

You don't.

You...

You push it
out of your mind.

I read a book once.

It said people only see
what they want to see
anyway, so...

But...

But you live
in fear that

one day
they won't come home.

I have dreams
about Frank.
Terrible dreams.

Oh, come here.

[SOBBING]It's okay.

It's all right.

I love him.I know.

I love him.

I'm not strong anymore.

I don't know
how much longer
I can hold myself together.

Why don't we
get out of here?

We'll just leave.
Right now.
You and me together.

You can't leave.

I can't stay here.

[STUTTERING]
I can't, Gina.
I have to go.

I can't. I mean...

It just...

It doesn't make sense.

And I can't do it.

I won't be a prisoner.

[BRANCH SNAPPING]

Hello, Gina.
How's it going?

You could at least
introduce me
to Mrs. Moran.

He's with the FBI.

Name's Lou Di Luca.

The computer
in my office tells me

there's going to be
some kind of,

well, confrontation.

We know the players
in the game,

but we don't know
the where or when.

If we did,
we could stop it,
but we don't.

We do know that
the Moran brothers
made a mistake in Miami.

And some of
their Cuban friends
want to return the favor,

which is why
they went for you
the other day.

And nobody wants to
talk about what
you'd look like

if they pulled it off.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

You shouldn't be
out here alone.

Better get back
up to the house.

Gina...

Help us,
and we'll help you
before it's too late.

Where's Frank?

Tell us and maybe,
just maybe,

we'll have enough pieces
to put the brakes on.

Gina, there's
going to be killing.

No.

How can you have
any loyalty
to these people?

To them.

You think you owe them
for what they've done to you?

Shut up.

You're throwing
your life away,
and for what?

A few romantic crumbs
from the table of a guy
who isn't worth...

He's my husband
and I love him.

Okay, Gina.

Here.

[SIGHS]

Here. Take it.

Open it.

You recognize Frank,
your loyal husband?

We never did get
the name
of the ladies.

It's... They're fake.
They're glued together.

You see that
in a supermarket.

They're real.

You don't know him,

but the difference
between you and Gina
is only a matter of time.

If you stay
in the program.

Listen, when you
need a friend...

Remember
Lou Di Luca.

Call,
and I'll be there.

Isn't Di Luca
an Italian name?

That's right.

A lot of people
have Italian names.

Real people.
Decent people.

I'm... I'm sorry. I meant...

I know what you meant,

but the fact remains
that a few of
those bastards

make the rest of us
look bad.

Believe me,

what you become in life
isn't stamped on
your birth certificate.

Don't forget this, hmm?

How you doing?

I was getting worried
about you guys.
Any changes?

No. Goin' at a wall.
The guys from
Red Bank get here?

Yeah.

Sal, where's Marian?

Down by the grove.

[DOG BARKING]

EDDIE: Marian.

Marian.

Where have you been?

You lied to me.

You said
you were a lawyer.

I am a lawyer.

And what else?

That "what else"
doesn't concern you
or us.

It doesn't exist.

It doesn't exist?

No, it doesn't.

Well, then I guess
this has all been

a really big
practical joke.

No, it's no joke.

Well, then,
if it doesn't exist,

there's no reason
for us to stay
imprisoned here, is there?

Well, that's
wonderful news.

I'm going to go up
to the house,
I'm going to pack my bag

and have Aldo
take me into the city.

You know, you've spent
too much time with Gina.

She puts ideas in your head.
That woman's a lush.

Well, how did
she get that way?

God...

Why?

Why didn't you just
tell me about this
right from the start?

Would you
have married me?

Huh?

What, did you think

that this was just
going to go on,

that I was never
going to find out?

I just...

I just thought you'd
eventually understand

and accept
like the others.

Look at me.
Look at me!

I love you.

The only thing
I thought about,

and all I still
think about is you.

Now anything after that
is just a dumb conversation.

So, let's go back...No!

No.

This is not just
a dumb conversation.

You want me
just to forget

about everything
that I think
is right and wrong.

Well, I can't do that.

I can't, I can't,
I can't live like
the rest of them, paranoid.

I can't do it!

What do you want from me?
What the hell
do you want me to do?

I want you to walk through
that gate with me

and I never want us
to come back here.

Oh, is that what you want?Yes!

Ah, I see.

I want us to just...
To get a house

and just live
like real people do,

together.

That's what I want.

I was hoping it would
be something easy,

like maybe
cut off my hand.

Marian.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I don't want
to lie to you.

Look, I've thought about
leaving all this behind,

believe me,
more than once.

I've thought about
trying to be
someone else,

but I don't know
how to do that.

I wouldn't know
how to live.

This is my family.
Do you understand?

Together

we can try.

Well, you don't know
what you're asking.

You have no idea
what we would be
up against.

I told you, Marian,
there are rules,
rules that nobody can break.

No. No, I don't care.

I don't...
I don't care about rules,
'cause I know...

I know that together
we can do anything.

Anything

if you love me.

If I love you?

[SIGHS]

[SOBBING]

It's all right.

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

[GUNS FIRING]

[WOMEN SCREAMING]

Come on.
Come on! Come on!

Come on. This way.

[ALL PANICKING]

Come on.
Eddie's out there!

Come on!

[GUNFIRE]

[PANTING]

Come on!

Come on.

Go on up the hill.
Let's go.

Frank! Frank!

Get inside.

Don't, Frank.

Frank!

Frank, Frank,
Frank, Frank...

[GINA SOBBING]

[WAILING]

No!

MAMA: [SOBBING] No!

Gina...

EDDIE: I don't want to
talk about this anymore.

Vincent, I told you
it's over,
once and for all.

I can't believe
you're saying this.

Have you forgotten Frank?

Frank's going to be
in front of my eyes every day
for the rest of my life.

Now, they paid
for Frank.

They paid plenty
and you know that.

It's not enough.
It's not enough for me.

Sal, killing 50 more
is not going to
bring him back.

Maybe not,
but we've got to
teach him a lesson.

Benito, you listen to me.
All of you.

Now, this thing is over
and it's time to move on.

No, Eddie,
I want us to go
back down there...

Vinnie, that's it!
That's enough!

We're going to
do this thing my way,
and that's all!

Why don't you
come along with me
on this one?

Come on.

[SIGHS]

All right?

All right.

Come here.

Come here.

All right, we're going
to talk more tomorrow.

Everything's going
to be all right.

Okay?

Sal...

Bye.

Come on, toots,
cheer up.

Try to put it
behind you.

What should I do?

You're asking for advice
from a dame

who's never been
with anybody
but Sidney Zimmerman?

Look, you've got to
analyze it.

Eddie is handsome,
he's smart, he's rich.

He's got a good
career going for him.
He's a lawyer.

And he can dance
away the night,

he can drive you around
in a big black car,
he can make you laugh.

I mean,
he's a regular
Clark Gable.

Just one little flaw...

Clark has
a little leprosy.

Yeah.

Well, you know...

Leprosy is
very contagious.

These are the ones
I take care of.
Don't mix them up.

Si, patron.

I mean it.

Another shipment?
How come?

Well, we got good
and tooled up.

We run out of these,
we're in trouble.

See how they're selling?

Yeah. I'll never
understand it.

I would have bet
good money against it.

You'd have
lost your shirt.

I won't argue that.

Then don't.

Creep.

Whoo!

I... I think
I'm going to get
a glass of milk.

Marian.

Where are we?

Huh?

I don't know.

I love you.
Do you believe that?

Yes.

Do you love me?

Yes.

But not
like before, right?

Too many things
get in the way.

Get rid of them.

They're not my things.

They're yours.

I can't do anything
about that.

You know
what I want to do?

I want to go someplace.

I just want to go someplace,
just the two of us,
just for a while, you know.

We could go
to the Caribbean.
Would you like that?

I mean, we could just,
we could just
get lost for a while.

There'll be no phones,
no family, no nothing.

That's what
you wanted,
right? Huh?

But we'd have to
come back eventually.

Wouldn't we?

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Who the hell
could that be?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[DOOR OPENS]

What is it?

It's him.

Sidney's brother
is a pharmacist.
He did me a favor.

This is coke, Marian.

These bastards
have been bringing in
cocaine from Mexico

and running it
through our business.

Cocaine.

What do you have
to say to that, prince?

Is that true?

It's Sal.

He's always
after something.

I should have
known better.

How could you?

Look, it's not me.
I don't get anywhere
near that stuff.

I don't want to
know about it,
all right?

Oh, bull!

You don't expect
either one of us

to believe a word
you say, do you?

Let me
tell you something.

If it weren't for Marian,
I wouldn't be here.

I'd be talking
to the cops.

Now, I want that garbage
out of my plant.

I want
Sal out of my plant.
And I want it now!

Or I'm going to
blow the whistle.

I'll see
what I can do.

I don't want
your conversation.
I want it out!

It's not as simple
as that, Sylvia.

The hell it isn't.

You tell your family

to get their fannies
over there
and to get it out.

It's not
just our family.

Everybody's in on this one,
and some are big.
Bigger than all of us.

So, if I were you,
I wouldn't make waves.

Oh, don't threaten me.

I'm too old to care.

I want it out.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorrier
than I can say.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

I'm going
to leave Eddie.

Figures.

You want to come
and stay with me
for a while?

Thanks.

I haven't
gotten that far yet.

Sylvia, what
are we going to do
about those beads?

I mean, Eddie won't
talk to me. It's like
he's hiding from me.

Don't worry.
I am taking care
of it.

Okay.

[SCREAMING]

MARIAN: Sylvia!

No!

[HORNS HONKING]

Get an ambulance!

[SOBBING]

Go! Get an ambulance!

MAN: Call an ambulance.

Go! Get an ambulance!

MARIAN: I saw Benito's face.

He pushed her.

Killed her.

But I...
I still didn't want
to come here.

I just wanted to
get on a bus
and disappear.

And then I started
thinking about Sylvia.

And what
they did to her.

And what
she'd want me to do.

If she hadn't
called the police,
do you think she'd be alive?

No.

They would have
killed her anyway.

That's it for now, Tina.
Thanks.

What about me?

I'm not as brave
as she was.

I'm scared.

You don't
have to be.

We won't let
anything happen
to you.

How far are you
prepared
to go with this?

How far do I have to go?

Depositions
and down to actual
testimony in court.

The entire works.

With you,
we'll get everybody.

[SIGHING]

First, we'll
get you settled.

Tonight, we'll
put you in a hotel.

Now, don't worry.

You're in official
protective custody.

Someone will be
with you at all times.

But I don't have
any of my things,
my clothes.

We'll see that
you get new ones.
Whatever you need.

Tomorrow
we'll take you to a place
in the Berkshires

and do some paperwork.

And then we go to work
on building you a new life,

somewhere where
they'll never find you.

Okay?

Larry, tell Ernie to
bring the car around,
will you?

The usual place.

And stay with her
until I get there.

I promise,
the rooms are better.

But not much better.

412, please.

Thank you.

[GROANING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[GASPS]

[SCREAMING]
No! Stop it!

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Is she here?

I haven't seen her.

Let me in.

I can get
a warrant, Gina.
Now, let me in.

Harry,
check the bedrooms.

[SIRENS WAILING]

What's happened?

Marian agreed
to cooperate with us,
and she's disappeared.

Do they have her?

Probably.

Where would
they take her, Gina?

I don't know.I need help.

I don't know.

The last time I asked you,
people died. I need help.

I don't know!
God! I don't know!

The bedrooms
are clean.
I'll check outside.

Forget it.
She's not here.

I know you two
were very close.

[SIGHS]

So long, Gina.
I'll see you around.

Lou.

If anything happens to her,
you call me.

I will.

You're not
like the other wives.

You never were.

I should've
known better.

Hmm?

You killed Sylvia.

How could
you do that?

I never killed anyone.

It wasn't
an accident.

Did I say it was?

I told you, Marian.

I told you
there are rules.

It all seems so long ago.

[SOBBING]

What a fool I was.

I believed.

I believed
in Cinderella
and the Prince.

I believed
in everything.

You know...

You look like you did
the first time we met.

We had it all.

Yeah.

We did.

I don't understand you.

No, you don't.

Marian,

I love you.

I don't want you
to ever forget that.
