It's a better automobile!

Forget about it.
Cadillac .. got more acceleration.

I tell you one thing. Mercedes got it all over
both of them.

A Lincoln's like driving
a fucking water bed for crissakes.

"Hunter and hunted. Predator and prey.
The endless cycle of nature repeated."

All they know is manicotti. Manicotti.
A hundred years, they're gonna be manicotti.

You never ate coq au vin, huh?

Here we are.

Can of collagen. can of tomatoes.

- Punch of salt.
- Punch?

- Punch. Punch of salt.
- Punch or pinch?

Punch. Punch. Not pinch.

- Nah. You said,punch.

Sometimes you don't make no fucking sense Donnie.

- You got all this?
- Ah no. I can't cook special like Benny.

Shut up, Annette.
Forget about it.

Wherever you go,
the best cooks are men.

On Mars, the best cooks
are gonna be men. That's a fact.

Oh Donnie. Wait till you taste
this coq au vin!

It's gonna melt in your mouth
like Holy Communion.

What the fuck is that?

Annette, get that.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- Thanks, Annette.
- Sure thing.

She's a good woman, Annette.

One broad,
that's enough for anyone.

Hey Pop, I'm going out
for a couple hours, OK?

- Merry Christmas.
- Donnie, take care.

Yeah, you too. Take it easy.

My own fucking son's a junkie.
Can you believe it?

What are ya gonna do?

- Give him a smack in the mouth once in awhile, ya know.
- I got bruises on my hands.

You don't know the worries I got, Donnie.

A woman like Annette. I can't do right by her.
I ain't got three bucks in my pocket.

I put a bet on a horse, that horse
don't do what it's supposed to do...

Like everything fuckin' else in my life.

I got cancer of the prick.

My ex-wife lives in this building.
Can you believe it? I run into her in the elevator.

I gotta have three spritzers
afterward just to calm down, after I see her.

What are you talking about,
cancer of the prick?

Yeah, it's cancer of the prick.

Yeah, you didn't know that?
I'm in the medical books for that.

I got this boat too, this Bertram.

Fifty-foot Bertram with twin Chryslers.
I had to get rid of it.

The money I owe Sonny Red.
The vig alone is $3,000 a week.

- Who's that guy with him?
- Bruno, that's his son.

- I'd like to put a dent in that guy's head.
- No. No. You don't do that, Donnie.

- You don't touch him.
- No I know. I'm sayin' .. I wish .. I wish I could, ya know.

You wish?

A guy like you
doesn't touch a made guy.

You know what I did yesterday?

I went in front
of all the skippers...

that cocksucker Sonny Red,
all of them.

I went on the record with you.
You know what that means?

- I think I do.
- You do? You ain't got no fuckin' idea, my friend.

Nobody can touch you now.
I'm your man.

Jesus Christ couldn't touch you ..
because I represent you.

So .. keep your nose clean...

be a good earner,
follow the rules...

and, who knows, maybe one day
when they open the books...

you get straightened out.

Become a .. wise guy .. a made guy.

Come on.
Lift your glass.

I'd die with you, Donnie.
Anything happens, I'm responsible.

- All right?
- All right. Salut.

Salut. All right.

- Hey, you know I'm sorry.

I don't need to know.
The girls need to know.

I want to be sure to introduce yourself.
They might think you?re the Fuller Brush man.

- You know, if you had any idea what I was doing today ..
- No, I don't have an idea ..

because you don't tell me.

That right, 'cause it's for your own protection.

As if any of this is for me.

Hey. You're getting the checks, right?

- Yeah, I'm getting the checks.
- Good. Then don't say it like it's nothing, 'cause it's not nothing.

- It's not nothin', but it's not a husband.
- A lot of women would disagree with you.

Oh! Is that what you do
with all your time?

- Conduct polls with all your women?
- I'm not even gonna dignify that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

You took care of Sonny Black.
What are you worried about then?

Donnie, ya know .. Sometimes I think .. in that orphanage,
they dropped you on your fuckin' head.

Oh christ. I think I shit in my pants.
What is this?

He's supposed to go
to a .. animal trainer somewhere.

- Fuck him.
- Hey Left, I think he likes you.

- Either that or he?s just hungry.
- What's he got to do with me?

- Sonny, what is this?
- It's for you.

- For me?
- I know how you feel about animals.

It's a gift from me.

- It's for me?
- Yeah.

I got the power.
Now you're under me.

What do you mean, you got the power?

Sonny got upped.

What, you got upped?

Rusty's gonna run the whole thing
from the can.

Sonny Red's got Little Italy.

- I got Brooklyn.
- That's why you sent for me?

Well yeah. Why. What did you think?
You was gonna get whacked?

Lefty thought he was gonna get whacked.

Congratulations. Come here.

Good stuff.

Sonny Black they make .. skipper.
I ain't a mutt.

Thirty years busting my hump. For what? A lion.

I'm like the invisible fuckin' man
in this thing.

Five hours ago, you thought
you was gonna get whacked, ya know.

- Hey Donnie, did I say I was gonna get whacked?
- Not in so many words.

I don't understand you.
How many words does it take?

You're right. I misunderstood.

Thirty years I'm earning.

Any work to be done, call Lefty.

I never complained.

Twenty-six guys I clipped.

Do I get upped?
No, they pass me by.

Sonny Black gets upped.
I don't get fuckin' upped.

Sonny was probably in on
whackin' the boss.

Of course he was in on whackin' the boss.

Whacking the boss! Another thing I get left out of.

But let me tell you what.

Look at that.

I wish I had that boat again,
that Bertram.

I wish I had that boat.

I'd get in my car .. with a net,
I'd drive down to the pier...

I'd get on that boat, and I'd go.

I'd go. East, West, North, South ..
nobody'd ever find me.

Look at this thing.
It's a fuckin' insult.

Happiness

Fuck that!

What happened to the girl I used to know?

You let your mind out somewhere down the road.
Don't bring me down.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor.
Don't bring me down.

Hey, Sonny! Sonny, come here. Sonny.

Good seeing you.

Bobby, give .. uh .. Sonny a good table ..
and a bottle of your best on me.

Why don't you get him a tailor while you're at it?

Don't let me down, down, down.

Don't let me down.

Don't let me down.

Don't let me down.

- Whadda ya say, Kurt?
- Hey, how's it goin'?

- This is Dean Blanford. He's up from Washington.
- Joe

Donnie. Call me Donnie. I don't wanna get confused.

I know what you mean, pal.

Sometimes you get so busy .. even I forget my own name.

Oh yeah. Is that right? Is it hard to cash checks?

Dean's up from Washington

Yeah. You .. said that part already.
What's next?

You know, now that the .. uh ..
operation's beginning to bear fruit .. uh ..

headquarters decided to transfer me up to .. uh ..

Sin City here.

- What for? You wanna keep an eye on me or somethin'?
- No.

To make sure you receive
the proper support.

- Oh the proper support.
- And to make sure that, in all the hubbub ..

- there are no missed opportunities.
- Missed opportunities like .. uh .. like what?

- Well we have an agent down in Miami .. goes by the name of Richie Gazzo.
- Miami?

Uh .. His operation is potentially very sweet.

Problem is it's starting to languish right now
and it needs jump-starting.

Now the Bureau .. would like you
to go down there...

and see if you could interest
some of your mob friends.

- Now if you vouch for Richie Gazzo ..
- I ain't gonna vouch for nobody I don't know.

Gee. I was hoping we'd get off
on the right foot here.

Look, what's the big deal?
You just go down and vouch for the guy.

Sit in the sun for a week.

- Hey lookit, I vouch for the guy, I could wind up dead.
- So could he.

You know, you're not the only one
out there risking your life, bud.

Oh, boy. Look, Uhh ..

I'll let you know.

I'll get back to you.

He'll let us know?

[Speaking Japanese]

- Good evening. How many?
- Five.

My wife says it's very in .. Japanese.
I mean, she read about it in Parade magazine. Very, very big now.

Take off shoes .. Please.

- What kind of food is this?
- It's fish.

- Please, take off shoes.
- What. Are you kidding me?

Take off your pants.
What the fuck is that?

- I'm afraid is necessary. Is Japanese tradition.
- Is that right?

- Well forget about it. I ain't doing it.
- I'm afraid is necessary.

Forget it. I ain't taking
my fucking shoes off.

- Hey Donnie
- What?

When in Rome

Hey Nicky.

Who won the fucking war .. huh?

War? What war?

We did. You want to fight it again?

- Take off your shoes.
- I ain't gonna do it.

- Take your shoes off.
- I ain't taking my shoes off.

I want to eat sometime tonight.

Now take off your shoes
or I'm gonna chop off your fuckin' feet.

Sonny .. Whadda ya want me to do?

Do you want me to take orders
from a fucking Jap?

Listen I .. I had to grow up in an orphanage because
my old man was killed down there in Okinawa, all right?.

You think I'm taking my shoes off
for this fuckin' prick?

No .. I ain't doing it.

- I'm afraid is necessary.
- Listen uh .. my friend's not gonna take off his shoes there, Mr. Moto.

- And, uh ..
- I'm afraid is necessary!

Neither are the rest of us, OK?
So why don't you just give us a table before I smack you.

You must take off your shoes!

- You fuck.
- Get him down!

- You like shoes?
- Let me get in there.

Slant-eyed motherfucker!

- Come on. Let's go.
- Son of a bitch!

- Watch him!
- Stupid fuck!

Kick the shit out of him, Donnie!
Kick him!

Get those fucking gooks!

Don?t you move, you fuck.. Don't you fuckin' move!

Cigars. Up the block they sell for $50 a box.
We could sell them for 25.

You give two or three of those to a broad,
forget about it. She'll do anything you want.

Should give three quaaludes to Brenda.
Maybe she'd cook.

I doubt it.

I got a guy that's gonna middle
this load of Sergio Valentis.

A dime on the vig.

- So what do ya got on the street?
- Hundred grand.

That should be 250
by the end of the year.

Sonny, I can get these real cheap,
and I got a guy who can move them.

- Will you fucking stop that?
- How else am I supposed to open this?

Open sesame!

- A score's a score.
- Look what I got here. It's a hundred pairs.

This Sonny Red's got a million dollars
a month with his trucks in Jersey.

What do I get?
Steak knives and parking meters.

- We ought to hijack an oil tanker. There's a lot of money in oil.
- And you know somthin'?

There's a guy I know down in Florida.
He says it's fuckin' wide-open down there.

- Yeah. Where in Florida?
- Florida. The beach.

The whole economy's moving down there.
They call it the Sun Belt.

The economy's gotta be good
for us to make any kind of real money.

Whatsa matter? You don't think they got
their own wise guys in Florida?

Florida and Arizona ..
because of the energy crisis ..

I heard a whole conversation
on the Long John Neville Show.

Problem up here is you got 3,000 wise guys
all chasing the same fuckin' nickel.

You're from there, down there, Florida, huh Donnie?

Lot of parking meters
down in Florida.

You guys think this is funny, huh?

I'm the skipper now

I gotta answer!

Fifty grand a month ..
I kick up to Rusty. Every month!

And one day, I'm gonna die.

I'm gonna be here in this same fuckin' room ..
with all these same fuckin' guys...

talking about the same fucking scams...

that never amount to nothing!

That's how I'll know
I've been sent to fucking hell.

Joe, give these humps another drink.
It's all they're good for.

I'll tell you right now, we better start
earning or somebody's gonna get clipped.

Why did you inject that Donnie,
with Florida?

- Whadda ya talkin' about? I didn't inject nuttin.
- You injected that, Donnie. Don't tell me no.

I know you. You don't say nothing
unless there's a reason for it.

- I .. uh .. I was making conversation with the guy.
- Mr. Smart Conversation .. you tell me ..

What happens .. if Sonny Black decides he wants to go to Florida?

Oh my God! Who said he's gonna go to Florida?

Donnie .. don't. Don't think you could
pull the wool over my eyes.

Donnie, I see you siding up to Sonny Black, with my eyes.
I'm lookin' at you. You're doin' it. Come on.

I ain't siding up to Sonny Black.

He goes to Florida .. you're responsible...

and I'm responsible,
because I represent you.

Left, come on.
I was just bullshitting around.

You think you can trust Sonny Black.
You can't trust Sonny Black.

Sonny Black
is one big, fat, fucking snake in the ..

- Grass. Snake in the grass.
- You can't say that now.

- Sonny Black is a skipper.You don't open your fuckin' mouth about him.
- Lefty

This fucking guy, Richie,
calls me up, he says ?lookit ...

I'm getting hassled by a couple
of half-assed wise guys.?

So he's looking for a partner, ya know,
to give him a little peace of mind.

He's got this nightclub to run down there.

- He's got a nightclub there?
- Yeah. Got a singles bar. It's near the beach.

I got two grenades in my house.

I'd blow up all Mulberry Street
before I'd give you up .. ya understand?

I don't know what I would do
if you did something wrong.

Come on!

Come on, Four!

- Shit.
- That was in!

Bullshit.

Don't push me!

- Shit! He lives!
- What the fuck are you

Jesus Christ.

Half-hour.

- Where is this guy?
- I don't know, Left.

- Is that him?
- Yeah, that's him.

Don, huh? You brought the cavalry, huh?.

- Richie Gazzo.
- How ya doin'? How ya doin'?

Oops! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

So, guess you guys got a chance to work
on your sun tans out here, huh?

King's Court, heh ..
where every man is a king.

Now wait until you get a load
of the banquet room. You're gonna plotz.

- Donnie
- Huh?

Ask him why this place
is such a fuckin' dump.

- Donnie
- He wants to know .. uh .. why it's such a dump, Richie.

I had to shut the doors.

The way these bums had their hands in my pockets, ya know.
200 bucks for this, 300 bucks for that ..

Hey! I got a wife does that, ya know what I mean?

Ask him to leave, Donnie.

- Richie. Step outside. Take a look at the car.
- Sure. Great.

What kind of a man has a malvole?
He won't provide for his own wife.

- I'm telling you this guy's all right.
- You vouch for him?

- I'm sayin' .. uh .. when I knew him before, he was all right.
- You vouch for the guy?

I'm just makin' an introduction, Left.
You gotta make the decision about the joint.

This would be somethin', you know?

We had my own lounge down here .. me and you.
Ya know?

What about Sonny?

Imagine Sonny Black operating down here ..
The way he is?

Come on.
Sonny Black belongs in Brooklyn.

Well I guess if .. uh
everything worked out...

we could send
a few fazools up there no?

Thirty years
I'm busting my hump.

What do I got?

Even a dog gets a warm piece
of the sidewalk.

I ought to show something
for what I did.

- Ya know what I mean?
- Definitely.

This ain't New York down here.

New York with the politics,
all the old beefs and the grudges.

Down here .. a guy like me ..
could sit down with the boss.

You know what I'm saying?

Get out from under,
be a free agent again.

I'm telling you, Donnie.
Nothing but nothing but right.

Lefty .. uh .. wants to ask Santo Trafficante
for permission to operate down here.

- You gotta give me a boat.
- We can't afford that kind of money.

- What kind of a boat?
- What kind of a boat. I don't know. Like a 70-footer.

- I jus' want to take him out for the day.
- You're talking $6,000 a day here, Joe.

Santo Trafficante is the boss of Florida.

- He sits on the fuckin' Commission. Did you know that?
- Yeah, I knew that.

- Good. Boat?
- It's up to 80 actually

We just picked up Lefty on a wiretap
talking to one of Trafficante's guys.

Just have a few things we'd like to go over here, ya know ..
to make a loan-sharking indictment.

This is important!

90, actually.

All right. I did what you asked.
I came here down here, I vouched for this fuckin' guy.

So what .. I'm gonna take Santo Trafficante out
in a rubber ducky now, or what?

We're gonna have to wash your mouth out bud.

- Does Sally Paint glass report to Nicky or Nicky Cigars?
- Nicky Glasses.

Nicky Glasses?

Look, as I was saying here, we've got
to try to fold Sonny into the RICO ..

Hey, I need a boat
for this fucking sit-down!

I'm a Mormon, mister.
Now clean it up!

Joe, I think you got a malfunction
on your tape recorder.

I'm not getting anything here.

I'm worried.
He's getting strung out.

We can get what we want.

Fuck him.

There it is.

Just move 'em behind,
nice and slow. Nice and slow.

Why don't you count it, my friend.
Go ahead.

It's all there.
No bullshit.

We're bueno?

Pleasure doing business
with you, caballeros.

Oh, Columbia,
the gem of the ocean

The home of the brave
and the free

- Fuck.
- Fuck!

- Mommy, I need some help.
- Hello.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- It's too tight.
- Here, sweetie.

- I'm in Florida.
- What are you doin' in Florida?

Oh, I don't know.
I'm hunting for turtles.

What do you think I'm doing
in Florida, honey? I'm working.

It's 12 degrees here.
Excuse me, you're wearing this coat!

Young lady,
you are wearing this coat.

- Bitch.
- What did you call me?

Hey, is everything all right?

What if I said no, Joe? Would it make any difference?

- I guess not.
- I guess not, so don't ask me. Come on, stand up.

?John Wayne dead. Nation mourns.?

How can John Wayne die?

Fuckin' Indians got him.

Old-fashioned family man.
Ruled with an iron hand. Look at that.

Maggie, let me talk to Kerry.
I wanna talk to her about the Communion.

Oh, my God, Joe.
She doesn't want to do it.

What do you mean, she doesn't want to do it?
She ain't got no choice.

- You are wearing this coat!
- Put her on the phone, Maggie. I don't know when I'm gonna have another chance to call.

- Does she know not to bite the wafer?
- I don't know. She's actin' out or something.

- All right. Look, I'll be back next week.
- Thank you.

Maggie, I promise I'll get back
for her Communion.

- Yours doesn't look any better.
- Don't start in with your sister.

- Joe, I gotta go.
- Huh?

I love you. Oh shit.

Who was that on the phone, Richie?

Nah. Uh .. What did .. uh .. what did Sonny say?

- You told Sonny about the club?
- Nah, I thought you did.

- Just shut up about it. Call Richie.
- All right.

Big guy like uh .. Santo Trafficante,
I mean, he's been around...

since the Moustache Petes, have you?

You gotta respect the man.

- Donnie, You get that boat yet?
- Nah I'm .. uh .. working on it.

Donnie. Don, don't tell me no.
You gotta get that boat.

I reached out already. His man says to me,
?Lefty, he loves boats.?

I told him a hundred-foot boat
I'm on the fuckin' clothesline now.

All right. I told ya. I'm working on it.

- Don't disappoint me again, Donnie. Please.
- Disappoint you again? Since when did I disappoint you?

Forget about it. What's this?

Look at that.
That what we call each other.

Wait, wait, wait. Friend of mine, friend of ours.
Yeah. Good. Good.

But there's the double meaning ..
You get it?

- Ya know what I mean?
- Yeah

- A boss appreciates a thing like that.
- Uh huh.

- Yeah. The .. uh .. the irony of it.
- Yeah, irony.

All right. Forget about it.
You put a beaner inside here...

then he knows these are men of men.

You see, Donnie, if I .. if I work out
the strategy right...

- now you gotta .. you gotta hold up your end now.
- Yeah

- You know what I'm sayin'?
- Yeah, I know.

[On Tape] You gotta .. you gotta hold up your end,
you know what I'm sayin'?

[On Tape] How much is this?
Donnie, you got somethin' on you?

[On Tape] - What are you doing there?
- How about five dollars?

- You're doing an amazing job, ya know?
- What?

- I mean .. we all think so.
- Yeah, absolutely.

Oh for crying out loud.
Fuck.

- Hey, can I ask you something?
- What?

What's ?Forget about it??
What is that?

?Forget about it? it's like uh ..

if you agree with someone.

Ya know, like,
?Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass.?
?Forget about it.?

But then, if you disagree, like,
?A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac??
?Forget about it.? .. ya know?

But then it's also like ..
if something is the greatest thing in the world, like...

?Minga, those peppers! Forget about it!?
You know?

It's also like saying,
?Go to hell.?

Like, ya know .. like .. uh ..
?Hey Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker.?

And Paulie says,
?Forget about it.?

?Forget about it.? Poof! ?Forget about it.?

Sometimes it just means .. uh ..
forget about it.

All right. Thank you very much.
I got it.

- Let me tell you something. I don't get this boat for Lefty ..
- What?

- Forget about it?
- Fuckin' forget about it.

Say. you know that sting operation?
What do you call it?

- Where the .. uh .. where the agents dress up like Arabs
and try to bribe congressmen?
- Yeah, Uh huh.

- They got a boat down here.
- What?

- Abscam
- That's right.

Hey. What ya doin'? Trying to get me killed
with that fuckin' suit...

- What?
- Fuckin' car! Purple fuckin' car!

- Don't say the word >plotz>, ya understand?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get in the back.

Wait a minute.
I'll be there.

Mr. Trafficante, this is Lefty,
a friend of ours.

I don't know what to say.
To me, this is like .. a great moment in my life.

Like meetin' .. uh .. Mickey Mantle.

That's the boat I arranged for you, Mr. Trafficante.

It's got .. uh .. everything.
Got a full bar, any kind of music you want ..

You wanna make a telephone,
it's got telephones.

- Any questions, you ask me.
- Where's Sonny Black?

- Sonny Black
- Yeah.

Uhh ..

Everybody out.
Come on. Come on, baby.

- It's beautiful!
- What did I tell you?

You brought the family.
Hey, Paulie, whadda you know?

- What do you say, Paulie?
- Where's Gilligan?

Now that's what I call a boat.

Sure you can operate here.
You gotta show a little respect, huh?

I don't even wanna look at you.

- You go to .. You know where the bow .. what the bow is?
- What did I do now?

- You stabbed the wrong fuckin' guy in the back, my friend.
- Whadda you talkin' about?

Whadda ya think I said something to Sonny?

Go to the bow. I'm gonna stay in the stern.

Go to the bow. Stay there.

I'm so disgusted with you,
you know that?

- Yeah, you just said it.
- Yeah. Just so you know.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- How ya doin'?
- Oh that Trafficante is something else boy, I'll tell ya'.

Is that right? He's a good old guy?

Ahh forget about it. That motherfucker had this
all to himself for .. 50 fuckin' years,

and it's still a cow town.

This could be like .. Vegas down here.

Forget about Sonny Red ..

and his trucks in Jersey.
This is all I want .. Florida.

Tell you something.
Sonny Red .. is freezing his nuts off right now.

That's for sure.

All I need is the start-up money from Rusty...

and then we all get rich.

Whadda ya think? We gonna head back
to New York pretty soon or what?

Not you. I want you
to represent me down here, Donnie.

I want you to be my man in Florida.

Get that club goin'.
Ya know, Kings Court.

You didn't think
I knew about that, did ya?

I think I'm gonna send the lion down here
with you ..

And keep that big pussy
in the parking lot.

Yeah. You know, Sonny, I really
appreciate .. uh ..the offer and everything...

but I gotta lot of things going on in New York.

- and .. uh ..I'd like to keep them going.
- You know, Lefty's a dynamite guy, there's no doubt about it.

Ya know, he looked after me
when I was in the can ..

And that's something that I don't forget ..

something that I will
never, ever forget.

Yeah, I mean he's a stand-up guy.
I mean he .. he really cares about you, too.

Yeah. Yeah, I know he does, but .. uh ..

The problem is is that, ya know, you think
that he's helpin' you...

but he's hurtin' you.

He gets those
two or three wines in him ..

- You know, Donnie, you know what I'm sayin'?
- Yeah.

Sonny .. I don't wanna be steppin'
on nobody's toes.

- I mean, if it wasn't for Left, I ..
- That's it. That's it. Look ..

You belong to me now.

That's it.

Mr. Trafficante's leavin'.

- You believe that?
- Christ, they're killing me.

- Come here.
- Santo, this is .. uh .. Donnie.

- He's a friend of ours.
- Hi, Donnie. Nice to meet you.

- This is Johnny.
- Hi. How ya doin'?

- Hey listen. Give my best to Joe, will ya?
- Yeah, I will.

Snowed in. Snowed in.
Can you believe that?

Yeah, right. His daughter's First Communion,
and he gets stuck at an airport.

- Yeah. That's for his own protection. I'll see ya later, OK?
- OK. Bye bye.

- I hate flying.
- I know you do. Be safe.

Oh, sweetheart.

Honey.

Your father .. is so proud of you.

I'm going upstairs.

Goddamn it, Joe.

The number you have dialed
has been changed.

The new number is unpublished
at the subscriber's request.

Hey Left, get us checked in over there, will ya?

- Hey Donnie. Stick around. I'm gonna get a paper.
- All right.

Jesus, Joe,
That's Holtman, U.S. Attorney, comin' at us.

The guy on the right.
Christ Joe, whadda we gonna do?

All right. Why don't you just shut the fuck up
and I'll take care of it.

Hey. Anything goes wrong down there...

you have .. their people call .. your people
in New York, you understand?

- I don't want to come down here and iron anything out.
- Hey Joe?

- You really fuckin' aggravate me.
- You got your plane tickets .. uh .. Sonny?

- Pistone? Remember me? Southern District ..
- What kind of fucking shit ..

- Hey, whadda ya .. whadda ya doin'?
- He grabbed my cock. What the fuck!

Shut up. He's working.
Keep your mouth shut.

Fucking degenerate bastard.
What a sick fuck. Grabbed my cock.

- Listen, I want that club up and running. I don't
care how long it takes. You understand me?
- Got it.

Here comes a fuckin' cop.
Get the hell outta here.

You have a safe trip.
You have the tickets and everything?

Now listen to me. Get on the phone. Get me
on the next flight back. Understand?

Don't call me Joe again. I'll cut
your fucking throat. Understand?

You piece of shit.

- Daddy?
- Hi, baby.

- Who made you?
- God made me.

- Why did God make you?
- God made me to show His goodness ..

to make me happy with Him in heaven.

- Where is God?
- God is everywhere.

Sweet dreams, angel.

I want a divorce.

Yeah, he comes home at all hours of the night
without announcing when or why or where he's been...

for the last .. three months.

And you know what he does?
He rearranges the cabinets.

He remakes the bed.
He vacuums the entire house.

Do you know another man that vacuums the house?
It's abnormal behavior.

Oh well, you know, changing the phone number and not
telling your husband is pretty normal.

- All right. I don't exist, you don't exist.
- OK. So now I know how it feels.

No no. I know how you feel.

I'll tell you something, Joe.
It felt good.

Now I do know .. how it feels
to be so in control.

Now I know how it feels
to be strong.

- You love control, don't you?
- My God.

Please, Joe. Just listen. Otherwise you just
play out the old pathology.

Maggie, you were saying Joe leaves.

Yes, he leaves.

He leaves me .. with the house
and the kids...

and the bills.. but not a husband.

I want my husband.

Joe ..
What do you think you're running from?

I ain't running from nothin'.

You hear yourself?
The man I married was a college man.

Being the distancer forces Maggie
into the role of the pursuer.

This gives you a feeling of power.

Simultaneously, you resent Maggie
for .. for fulfilling her intimacy needs which ..

I'm an undercover agent
for the FBI .. uh .. Doctor.

You and your Mafia faggots can go screw each other.
I'm not gonna do it anymore.

Oh boy! I really hope that you can help her out.

Because obviously, she's very sick,
and you can see that.

Oh obviously.
Obviously I'm the sick one.

- You.
- Now...

Monday, Wednesday and Friday
are Joe's .. intimacy days.

Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
are Maggie's.

Now, on your day,
you make an intimacy request.

?Rub my back? or...

?I have a problem with the kids.
Could you help me out??

Oh, you know what? You sit around in your safe,
little, fuckin' house...

with your .. your safe, little,
fuckin' station wagon...

and your safe, little friends.

You dream up the next hundred-dollar
head fuck.

- >Will you rub my back?> Fungool.
- You're an animal, do you know that?

- Just get in the fucking car.
- Do you know that, huh?

You know what my intimacy request is
for that guy?

It's very intimate.

He can take the bill he's gonna send me
and shove it up his ass.

You know why we went to him?

I was hoping he could come up with one
good reason for me not to leave you ..

because I don't have one anymore.

What? .. You gonna leave me?

You gonna leave me, Maggie?
You don't leave me.

- Hello
- Hey Mag.

Oh my God! He's ..

- What's the matter?
- Donnie, where are you?

Uhh ,,

I'm in New York.
I had to come back. Why?

- It's Tommy.
- What? What's goin' on? What happened?

Can you give your sister
some vegetables, honey? Thank you.

Not with your fingers, sweetie.
What else do you need?

We did fractions today in class,
you know?

Did you? Fractions?

- Oh, I got my test back and I got a .. 95.
- Well of course you did.

What'd he do?
He overdose?

That ain't the question.

A plastic pipe .. in his mouth.

About five million .. tubes.
They got a machine breathin' for him.

Where's the fuckin' doctor?
You want me to go talk to this guy for you?

We gotta talk to the doctor.
Whadda ya gonna do, break his legs?

Look! I came here to be with you. I wanna help you out.

- You're my man. I'm here for you.
- I don't want you here, Donnie!

You and Tommy is both peas in a fuckin' pod.
You don't listen.

Youse got your own ideas.

You do what you wanna do up on your
high horses. Everything's a joke.

- Come on. I ain't goin'.

- Forget about it, I ain't ..
- Come on!

Hey look. I'm gonna stay here with you.
You wanna kick the shit outta me?

I'm gonna be right here.
All right?

Twenty-eight years.

You can read it
on his .. birth certificate.

Bellevue Hospital.
Now he's back, in there.

And I'm out here,
worried to my fuckin' death.

And he's asleep in there ..
same as 28 years ago.

With the same expression.

He's made no progress.

He ain't got no fuckin' respect.

He's my son.

His heart stopped.

Like a watch.

That's what the doctor said.
Just like a watch.

They had to wind it back up.

Who knows?
Maybe next time...

they can't.

Hey!

He's gonna be all right.

He'll be all right, pal.

He'll be all right.

I love you, Donnie.

I heard somebody say

Burn, baby burn

Burn, baby burn. Disco inferno

Burn, baby burn. Burn the mother fucker down.

Satisfaction

Came in a chain reaction

So I had to self-destruct

Okay, Donnie,

You shut up! Sit down!
You shut the fuck up!

What about Florida?

I thought we weren't
supposed to talk about Florida.

- So you never got nothin' goin' on?
- No, no, no. Nothin' ever panned out for me, Sonny.

I couldn't catch a break.

I never got nothin' goin' on.

What did I just say?

Paulie, I got a truck load
of razor blades.

What the fuck am I gonna do

Hey, you know how many razor blades

- Forget about it.

Hey Donnie .. You ride up front.

Could be I found him already.

So where we headed, Sonny?
Little Italy?

Our guy says they got a little stop to make first.
Ya know what I mean?

In bed with some broad with more hair on her lip ..

You think that's funny, huh?

- I don't think that's so funny, ya know.
- All right.

- You don't wanna listen.

- Answer me. You think that's funny?

Ahh, shit. The bulb is out.
Watch your step, guys.

Big fuckin' surprise

Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
Donnie's gonna help you.

Come on, Donnie.
Help me filet this fat fuck.

All right, all right. Come on.

We got work to do.

There was a rat .. in Florida, Donnie.

- Nicky wasn't a rat.
- Hey! You don't mention his name. All right?

That's what we said.
We don't mention his name.

Yeah .. Tell yourself whatever you have to, Left.

I'm not tellin' myself.

- You was down there. You have eyes ..
- 20 years, you know a guy, you fuckin' whack him, huh? ..

- That's beautiful.
- The man held out.

- He held out on a coke deal.
- What does one thing got to do with the other?

He coulda got whacked out just for that ..
for your information.

- There wasn't a rat in Florida.
- There was a rat.

There was not a rat in Florida.
Richie fucked up paying off the cops.

What do you mean, Richie fucked up?

That's why the club got busted.
Richie didn't pay off the fuckin' cops.

- Nicky didn't have anything to do with it.
- Hey!

You don't mention his name.

- Fuck the rules.

Hey .. that's the rules, Donnie.

- Say his name.
- Ahh, come on.

Say his name .. Come on..

Nicky .. say Nicky.

You can't say his name because
you know I'm fuckin' right.

Say it! Say it! Say Nicky!

Say his fuckin' name!

Nicky was a rat because
Sonny Black says he was a rat.

Who the fuck am l?

Who am l?

I'm a .. I'm a spoke .. on a wheel.

And so was he .. and so are you.

Quit ridin' the fuckin' brake.

Boss.

Congratulations.

- Oh, God.
- Oh no, everything's okay, Maggie.

Yeah?

If everything's okay,
what are you doing here, huh?

Mind if we come inside, Mrs. Pistone?

I'm not sure. That depends.

Standard .. procedure is that he is to check in with us every day.
Now maybe he might miss a day or two here or there, but ..

- It was three weeks ago.
- I want you to tell me ..

where my husband is.

- I demand right that you tell me where my husband is!
- We can't tell you because we don't know.

Now if he gets in touch with you,
you have got to try to talk some sense into him.

Mrs. Pistone ..

- Please .. help us here.
- You want me to help you out?
- Yes.

You want me to help .. out the FBI
that used my husband and sucked him dry?

You don't care whether
he's dead or alive, do you?

You want him to follow procedure.

Follow procedure so you can cover your asses.

Mrs. Pistone, there is a war going on in the Mafia
family where Joe is undercover.

Now, three leaders of a rival faction
have been murdered.

He's right in the line of fire,
not because he's one of us,
because he's one of them.

Who he's with and and .. who he's close to ..
they're all the top dogs now.

- It's just not a problem we anticipated.
- We have got to pull him out!

And you .. have got to talk to him.
He'll listen to you.

You think so?

He was here a week ago.

He snuck into the house
after I was asleep.

And he didn't even wake me up ..
didn't even say hello to me.

He came to get his sport coat.

Forgive me

And please say you are mine

Solo tu

- Hey Donnie!
- Yeah.
- Let's take a walk. Come on.

Cara mia ti amo

Hey Left, whadda we doin'?

We're gonna walk and talk.
We got too many eyes around here.

Here it is, Donnie.
Sonny Red's kid, Bruno .. has disappeared.

Now .. as long .. as he's on the loose,
ain't none of us safe.

- Right?
- Yeah. You got no idea where the guy is?

Well, he's got a nickel-a-day coke habit.
He's gonna turn up somewhere.

Anyway ..

we got the contract.

Now .. this thing gets done right ..

when the books open up ..
I'm proposin' you for membership.

You know what that means?

- Yeah.
- Yeah? What?

- It means I can't fuck it up.
- Hey! You read my mind, huh?

- You read my mind. You can't fuck it up.
- Yeah. No, I won't .. I won't fuck it up.

You're gonna be a made guy, Donnie

Yeah. All right.

Yeah. All right.

Come on. Let's go back inside!

- Hey Left.
- Yeah, what?

Hey what? I'm freezing here!

Hey, you know that boat you used to have?
That Bertram?

- The boat? What about it?
- Yeah, the boat.

How much is it .. a boat like that?
How much uh .. whadda you think?

You could get a .. sports fisherman
for maybe .. 300 used.

Why are you asking me
about boats, Donnie?

- I was just wonderin'. I was curious, ya know.
- You're curious about boats?
- Yeah.

It's .. ten .. degrees out here!
I'm freezing. You're asking me about boats?

After what we just said?

- Hey! You losin' your marbles on me, or what?
- Nah. I'm all right. I'm all right.

= You don't ask questions like that. That's .. crazy. OK?
- Yeah.

You hit this cocksucker and leave him
in the street. Come on.

- You wanna tell me what's going on?
- Nuttin'. Go back to bed.

I'm looking for somethin', all right?
I'll be right in.

It's not gonna work anymore.

- Where is it?
- There's $300,000 in that bag.

- How do you know what's in that bag?
- I uh .. I counted it.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- You counted it?
- Yeah.

Anyway, you counted it! It's none of your business.

It's none of my business? It's in my house.
Who would ever believe it wasn't my business Joe?

I want that fuckin' bag Maggie.

FBI men .. do not walk around
with $300,000 in a bag.

- Joe. You could go to jail for this.
- Shut the fuck up! Nobody's goin' to jail.

Nobody's goin' to ..
Did you think about your children for a second?

- Joe, did you stop and think about your children?
- You have no idea what you're talkin' about first of all.
- I don't?

- Because the bag belongs to somebody else.
- I don't have any idea? It does? Who?

- What am I gonna explain to you? Just some fucked-up guy.
- A fucked-up guy? A fucked-up guy needs $300,000?

Yeah that's right.
Now where's the goddamn bag? Shit!

You're becoming like them, you know that?

Did you ever once ask yourself
how I make it through my days, huh?

I pretend I'm a widow ..

with medals and scrapbooks...
and memories.

I pretend you're dead.

That's how my life makes sense to me.

Just go away. Stay away.

Why do you hate me
when I love you so much?

You think I hate you?

I don't hate you.

This job is eatin' me alive.

I can't breathe anymore.

And if I come out, this guy Lefty dies.

They're gonna kill him ..

because he vouched for me ..

because he stood up for me.

I live with that every day.

That's the same thing as if I put
the bullet in his head myself, you understand?

I spent all these years .. trying to be the good guy
you know what I mean, in the white fuckin' hat.

For what?

For nothin'.

I'm not becoming like them, Maggie.
I am them.

- Left.
- Donnie.

- Donnie. Where you been, Donnie?

Yeah. Look uh .. I gotta see ya.

You're right you gotta see me.

- We found Sonny Red's kid.
- Bruno?

- Yeah. He's on a boat .. on Staten Island.
- I'll pick you up.

- No, no. We .. we don't have time, Donnie.
You .. you meet me there.
- OK

Bruno's here .. He's down the end of the pier.

We'll wait here a minute
while he has his drink.

Let him get a little sleepy.

- I'm getting a little sleepy myself.
- How's his boat?

- The boat?
- Yeah.

Nice.

Forget about it.
One thing I know is boats.

I'd like to pop him, throw him
in the water, take the fuckin' boat.

Remember when you said a couple a times
how .. uh .. if you had that Bertram again...

you'd drive down to the pier
with Annette .. and just go.

Remember you said that? North, South,
East, West, nobody'd ever find you.

That was before.
Don't remind me about that now.

- Yeah, but I'm just saying ..
- I don't want to think about that.

Did you mean it?

Mean it? Who am I Rockefeller?
I'm gonna go buy a boat?

- I'm saying, what if, Left?
- What if.
- What if ..

i mean .. I got a couple things
going on the side there, couple a jewel things.

Maybe I could get that kinda money for ya.

- You gonna find money for me to get a boat?
- Maybe.

Now that would be real generous of you, Donnie.

What if I could hand you ..
a bagful of money right now?

You know what I'm saying?

You could leave this life.

You said it yourself, Left. You don't move up

Every day you're looking over your fuckin' shoulder,
you don't know what's gonna happen ..

- Donnie, listen to me, Donnie.
- No more bullshit ..
- Donnie

- Get outta this life is what I'm sayin' Left.
- I'm gonna show you somethin' Donnie.

- What?
- And I want you to look at it very carefully.

And then I want you to think ..
very carefully...

about what you say to me.

That's a federal boat, Donnie.

- I really don't think that's the same boat, Left ..
- That's the same boat. It's got some name on it .. The Left Hand.

It's like my name.

That's that Abscam boat.

You think I knew that was a federal boat?

You think I'm a fucking rat?

How many times .. I have you ..
into my own house?

- Twice a week. Twice a week at least.
- Ahh, there it is .. at least.

- I cook for you.
- Yeah.

If ever I had any money, I'd give you ..

I never had any money,
but if ever I had...

a hundred bucks in my pocket,
I'd give you fifty, right?

- Yeah, you did.
- If you're a rat ..

If you're a rat, then I'm the biggest
fuckin' mutt in the history of the Mafia.

Even if this thing
is a federal boat, Left...

they scam all these other people.

They didn't scam us ..
You know what I'm saying?

We went. We had a great party.
We walked away from it.

How do you know ..
that we walked away from it?

Well, we're sitting here, right?

So they tried to outsmart us, but we
out smarted them.

We beat the agents.

You gotta believe me.

OK.

Let's go do this work.

Get this over with.

Two in back of the ear. Like pushin' a button.
Bing-bing. That's it.

- Yeah.
- Don't freeze up.

- Don't freeze up.
- Nah.

- Lotta guys freeze up.
- Nah, I'll be all right.

Did I say youse a rat?

- I can't believe you brought that up.
- C'mon. Forget about it, Left.

I'll never say youse a rat.

I'm your best friend.

All right. Let's go do this thing.

Come on, Donnie.
Come on.

FBI! Freeze!

Shit!

Don't say nothing, Donnie. Don't say nothin'.

Don't tell 'em nothing, Donnie.
Donnie! Don't .. don't say nothing.

- It'll be all right
- Fuck you. I'm not coming you.

You'll be out in 24 hours, Donnie.

Hey, Donnie. You're all right.

- It's over, man.
- Don't say nothin' to 'em, Donnie.

It's over, Joe.

When the deep purple falls

Over sleepy garden walls

And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky

You've known this guy as Donnie Brasco.

That's not his real name.

Truth is, he's been an FBI agent all along.

You can contact me here, if .. you wanna talk.

Could believe those fucking guys?

There's no way Donnie's an agent.

It's a nice fuckin' bluff, huh?

That boat was a setup. They set the boat up.

Don't we think Donnie's a rat

It'll set me goin'.

He didn't know Donnie.

Right. He didn't know Donnie.

"Hyenas kills many young cheetas
and more than one could overpower the mother ..
and turn on the cubs."

Yeah.

Yeah. All right.

All right. Yeah.

- Was that for me?
- Ahh ..

No. It was a ..

guy I gotta go see.

- So late?

What am I gonna do?

Who knows .. with these people?

- Annette, don't wait up for me tonight.
- No?
- Nah. I don't know how long I'm gonna be.

And listen to me...

If Donnie calls ..

tell him...

tell him uh ..

if it was gonna be anyone ..

I'm glad it was him.

- All right? Look how beautiful you look.

- Goodbye
- Bye, Ben.

[Gunshots]
