Yes?

Sorry, is this
Marilyn Davis' house?

Grandma?

Grandma, it's me Meg.

You remember me?

I'm your granddaughter Meg.

Yes.

I was worried about you.

I called, and no one answered,

and then I wrote you
a lot of letters.



I don't know if you
got any of them.

Did... did Mrs. Saladino
read you any of them?

I'm... fine...

Thank you.

Grandma, I was wondering
if I could stay here

with you for just
a little while.

Would that be all right with you

if I stayed here with you?

Is everything all right?

Yes, thank you.

Good, good.

Poòverina.

She talks about you
when she can.

She does?



You know, I've been taking care
of her for almost a year now.

That's very nice of you, Mrs.
Saladino.

I love her.

Your parents also send me
a check every month.

I didn't know that.

So, how long are you staying?

Well, um, I don't know.

I'm looking for a
job, so if I find one,

maybe for a while.

You look hungry.

Would you like something to eat?

No, thanks.

I made some wonderful lasagna.

I bet it's great.

Um, maybe in about half an hour?

Good, good, good.

Call me if you need me.

I will. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Gina saladino.

A real pain in the ass,

but no bullshitter.

So, where do you come from?

Um, Missouri.

Where?

It's a state.

I know it's a goddamn state.

St. Louis.

St. Louis?

Dago hill.

They got some
great joints there.

Roselli's, fortuna's.

You ever been to Luigi's?

I heard it's a great place.

Yeah? Fucking guy
used to be my busboy.

He called me last week,

wanted to know my e-mail.

'Gatz, what the fuck is e-mail?

Send me a postcard.

You heard? What,
you never been there?

No.

Why not?

I didn't get out very much.

I was in school.
I was working.

So all this work you did,

any of it in restaurants?

Yeah, i... i hostessed,
and I waited tables

for about 2 years.

Italian place?

Not really.
It was called tea and spice.

Tea and spice?

We don't even got tea
on the menu here.

Well, you don't have to worry.

Nobody works harder than me.

I guarantee you would
not be disappointed.

Yeah? I hired
a college guy once,

law student.
Had a nervous breakdown.

Fucking needs it.

Heh. I just
need a job.

And once you got the job,

you gonna be
walking out the door?

No.

I don't hire
moonlighters, all right?

I got a girl
working here 10 years.

We're a family here.

I don't train you so you
can quit next weekend.

That... that
wouldn't be happening.

'Cause we do good work here.

Not spaghetti and meatballs
like fucking Luigi has.

People come here
for the real thing.

Nice, old-fashioned.
Capisce?

I understand.

I don't know.

Jesus. I don't want

that old hag saladino
yelling at me.

Come in tonight
for a training shift.

We'll give you a nice
uniform, very classy,

not made in Bangladesh
by some fucking rice-head.

And no big earrings.

Nice makeup.
Keep your hair clean.

Ok.

Great.
Thank you, sir.

Welcome to the family.

Scusa, you mind bringing the bread?
You forgot our bread.

I'm sorry.
Grazie.

Not exactly your
spicy tea joint, is it?

No, but... I'm just a little behind.
I'll catch up.

That's good to know.

Pickup. Table 7.

Come on, pick it up.

Come on, you with the legs.
Come on, pick up, for chrissakes.

Me?

What you doing standing there?
Come on, pick up!

Ok, so which is table 7?

Open your eyes.
This is 7. 7, 7, 7.

Ok.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come here, come here.

What?
Where you going?

7.
No, no, no, no.

Who carries 2 plates?
Take them all.

But I can't.
I'll come back.

No. I do everything
in this goddamn place.

Nobody does anything for me.

I hate this place.
Go! Do your job.

Here, let me help you.

How you feeling?

Great.

Shit, the bread.

Hi. Ok, we have
a chicken piccata.

I'll coffee your section.

Good thing you started
on a slow night.

I have another
chicken piccata.!

There's nothing left here.
What a surprise.

Did you have enough wine
there, gentlemen?

Hey... do that again.

Do what? I don't
see anything.

Come on. Do it again.

Do... do what?
Did you see anything?

What's a matter?
Everybody's watching now.

You want to do it again?
Grab my ass again.

What? I didn't
do anything.

Look, I was just
being affectionate.

You should thank me.

Yeah, thank you.
Very affectionate,

jokesey the freaking clown.

Ok, you know what
I need you to do?

What?

Let me know if you're
gonna do it again.

No, raychel,

I'm not gonna do it again.

Good. So let me tell
you what we're gonna do.

You're gonna pay
for these, right?

You're gonna pay for this.

Then you're gonna get up

and get the hell out of here,

and come back when you're sobered
up, all right?

Stop acting like
Johnny the fucking lush?

How about that?

Yeah?

Am I speaking
fucking French to you?

A, b, c. Your next time,
you're sober.

"D." there's the door.

Ok?

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Take no prisoners.

That woman is my hero.

All right, let's get
back to work. Come on.

Pickup! Table 8.

I look so fat, ugly, and stupid

in all those pictures.

Fat? Are you
kidding me?

You're like the poster
child for thin people.

My god, and look
at this one here.

You're like,
"come fly on my airplane."

Exactly. Stupid.

Stupid? You could get a very
good job as a stewardess

in a movie with this one.

Have I seen you in anything?

Probably not.
Grape juice?

Are we allowed to have that?

It's medicinal.

So, why do you live out here?

What's wrong with staten island?

I don't know.

Isn't it just kind
of far from Broadway

and your auditions
and everything?

I spent 10 years
in the city,

and, um, I needed some amnesia.

I'll drink to that.

Problem is I'm 34 years old,

and I'm in danger
of being a waitress

for the rest of my life.

Good night. All right,
girls, the party's over.

Bye.

No, have mercy.

You look good in this one.

I do?

Yeah. The rest of them,
you look like a fucking dyke.

Good-bye.

Good night!

I'm getting drunk.

Dyke?

Hi, grandma.

Finished, darling?

Good.

Mrs. Saladino?
By the way, I wanted to just

thank you for the
job recommendation.

Are they treating you all right?

Yeah, fine.

If gio gives you any problem,

you just let me know.

Watch out when he's
drinking the hard stuff.

Ok. Mrs. Saladino?

Do my parents ever
call or write?

No, just the checks.

I don't know what
they're doing down there,

saving souls or something

down there... what's that?

South America.

Yeah, that's it.

It's ok.

Hey, come here, paesano.

Meg? Meg!

Take these to 16.

16? But that's...
That's raychel's table.

She's in the back.
Go.

But she said that if ever
went near her customers,

she would kick my ass. Never mind. Go!

Cammina!

His father says,
"great people, love you."

His father's an
ex-marine, all right?

"Good people,
love you. Ya fight.

"Ya got spirit.
Ya got guts.

"Ya got everything.
'Cause I speak for myself

"and the whole united
states of America,

"I wish I would've killed

every motherfucking
one of you."

I couldn't fucking believe it!

Jesus fucking Christ!

What are you, fucking nuts?!
I'm so sorry.

Look at my dress.

You fucking high?

What the fuck is wrong with her?

I'm sorry,
gentlemen.

Excuse me, ladies.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Just keep her away from the
fucking steak knives, all right?

Don't you worry.
We'll take care of everything.

You, come with me.

Where was I?
Where was I?

Tell a joke, a monsoon
might fall into me.

You're here a week,

and now you're spilling
food on the regulars?

I'm sorry.
You're what?

I'm sorry.
You lied to me.

You've never waited
tables, have you?

No, I did. We didn't
have any liquor...

No, you have not.
I can tell immediately.

You spill one more
drink, you screw up

one more time,
that's it. Capisce?

Capisce?

Capisce, capisce.
I'm sorry.

And don't mess with the kitchen.

Lorenzo and I have
been working together

since before you were
sucking your mama's tit.

So you do what he says, ok?

Ok.

I know. It's tough.

It's tough working a classy
place like this. I know.

A lot of important people.

But you're gonna
be ok. Am I right?

Yeah.

Good. So don't fucking
screw up again.

Now get back to work.

Meg! Meg, come here.

Get some towels and come
in here now. Help me.

Raychel, close the fucking...
Close the goddamn door!

My god.
My god.

Motherfucker, get over here

and help out, would you?

Get the fuck over there!

Shut up and calm down.
Shut the fuck up.

What's going on?

He's not breathing.
He's not breathing.

What are you doing?

He's not breathing.

Ok, call emergency.

No hospital.
No fucking way!

This man needs a doctor!

This man needs nothing!

Tony's gonna be here
in 15 minutes.

Fuck Tony!
He isn't breathing!

You lost your fucking mind?

I called everyone
I fucking know!

What do you want me to do?

Don't you fucking yell at me!

Handle it.

Come on and give me
a hand here, would ya?

Roll him on his side.

Roll him on his side!

I said roll him on his side!

I went to med school.
Roll him on his side.

Now. What are you fucking doing?
Would you help us?

All right, all right... ooh!

You puke all over
my fucking shoes?!

Shoot! God!

Shit, my fucking pants!

That's disgusting.

What happened?

They're fucking doing
lines, fucking doing lines,

yadda-yadda-yadda.
He goes outside

acting like a freak and then
shoots his own nose off.

I don't fucking know why.
I don't know what to do.

Ok, roll him back over.
Roll him back over.

I'm gonna need some plastic.

A plastic bag, saran wrap...

Gio, plastic, today!

All right, all right!

Where the fuck you going, gio?

Turn him over again.
Come on, help out!

What are you fucking doing?!

Don't worry about
what I'm doing.

You're doing fine.

Would you hurry up
with the plastic?

Aah!

What are you fucking
doing? Today!

Goddamn it!
No, I'm gonna get fucking aids here!

You're already fucking sick!

Plastic now!
Fucking hurry.

All right.

What are you standing there for?

He can't breath through
that fucking thing.

She knows what she's
doing, all right?

Shut the fuck up!

Do something!

Ok, I need a pen.

If he dies, you go
to the can, asshole.

Looks fucking dead
already if you ask me.

He's dead already because of
you, you fucking prick!

All right, she's working it.

Ok. Fuck!

You're gonna make it, buddy.
You'll make it.

It's not working.
It's not working.

Ok, the air is still
getting through.

Here, raychel,
give me your fingers.

No! N-n-n-n-no!

Raychel, take your fingers
and put them here...

Put your fucking
fingers in his nose!

Raychel, put your fingers
in his nasal passages!

Ok, all right, all right,
all right, all right!

Keep it tight! All right!

Ok?

Ok.

Come on, breathe.

Ok.

We gotta get him
some oxygen, ok?

Somebody's gotta come
with an oxygen tank.

If I get tired,
I'm gonna teach one of you to do it.

Yeah?
You do it.

I got my fucking hands up
this guy's nasal passages,

and I'm thinking that's
enough for one day.

You do it!

He's dead already.

Looks fucking dead to me.

I'll take it from here, boss.

Thanks, Tony.

Let us know how he
is, all right?

You got it.

Here.

You did good.

Clean yourself up.
I'm gonna try

to find another spare
outfit in the back.

Let's go back to work.

♪ I'm so real for you

♪ and you know that's real

♪ is so fine for you,
for me ♪

♪ you're everything

Hey.
What are you doing here?

Can we take this inside?

My grandma's asleep upstairs.

Ok, ok.

Special delivery.

What's this?

It's a gratuity.

Tony says the guy's gonna live

just by a nose.

He lived?

You saved that guy's life.

I don't want that.

What are you doing?
You earned this.

No, I didn't.
We were very lucky that he lived.

Yeah, we are, but look,

this comes from
Mr. Santalino himself.

Well, just give it back to him.

Ok. Mr. Santalino
would consider it...

Impolite if you
didn't take this.

Well, then i'm just gonna
have to be impolite.

Are you high?

High?

Yeah. High.

Heh. You're looking
a little fucked up

to me right now, babe.

No, this isn't fucked up.

See, I've been fucked up,

but this is not fucked up.

What are you on?

What am I on?

It's just 2 glasses of wine
and a couple of valium.

Do you want some?

Valium? Heh heh heh!

Who the fuck takes
valium anymore?

What are you,
my pharmaceutical advisor?

I think I should be.

You have something better?

I got something
a whole lot better

than a couple
cheap glasses of wine

and some valium, but whatever.

Ok, raychel...

Yeah?

I really don't want that.

Meg, listen to me.
I'm a firm believer in this.

When I get a big tip,
I deserve it, ok?

It makes up for all the
times I get stiffed.

So take the money
and buy things with it,

'cause that's what money is for.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Jesus.

I know.

You sure you're ok?

Yeah, I'm ok.

So, they paid you off.

What do you mean?

You said they paid you off?

Well, I think I was
supposed to think of it

as a gratuity.

You do know
what kind of clientele

we're dealing with, don't you?

All I know is that
I wanted a job,

and Mrs. Saladino
recommended

a nice little
Italian restaurant.

Ok, seriously.

You know what kind of people

eat in that restaurant.

I guess I do now.

Maybe I should just go work

in a Chinese restaurant.

Chinese don't tip.

What about Hooters?

Hooters...
That's silly!

Fine, fine. Ok.

No, it's not about that.

Yeah, right,
right. Fine.

Listen, I've worked
in these places before,

and once you start
getting some regulars,

you can make a lot of money,

and you can be
very well-treated,

but just, please,
stay away from the back rooms.

I wish somebody had told
me that when I started.

Come on.

Show me an Italian
restaurant in this town

that isn't connected,

and I'll show you one
that doesn't serve pasta.

So, um...

How does someone
shoot off their own nose?

Pchoo!

I've had it with my nose!

Pchoo!

Maybe they stick it way up.

He didn't... stop it!

He didn't... it's not...

You can't do that,
'cause it'll go to your brain.

My god.
You're disgusting.

You stupid nose!
Pchoo!

All right,
there you go.

Yes, yes.

Lorenzo?
Lorenzo?

What?!

This was actually
supposed to be scallops,

not veal scallopini.

Girl, you're always
in the shit?

What's the matter,
you got a flat tire today?

Whenever you make a mistake,
I get screwed, baby.

I get backlogged.

Listen, can you just put a
rush on the scallops please?

No. When you learn to do your
job, I do mine.

Yo, Lorenzo, do me a favor.

Stop swingin' your little-ass
dick back and forth,

'cause nobody cares.

Now, give Meg
her freakin' scallops

like she asked, ok?

Good. Babe,
you're comin' with me.

Hey, it's free publicity.

What the hell do I care?

That's right,
you know?

But they ask stupid questions.

They really, really do.

It's the same thing
over and over again.

But I don't know.
Every time we get an article like this,

I get another 50 customers.

Um, Meg, I'd like you
to meet Mr. Santalino.

Hello. Very nice
to meet you.

How are you? Fine.

That's my son, franko.

Hi.

The pleasure's all mine.

Sit down.
Sit, please.

That's good.
Thanks, raych.

She'll be safe here with
us, believe me.

Thanks, sweetie. Thank you.

Here, look at this.

It's the weekend edition.

It's the third time they
write about il santalino.

They ask me what my secret is.

I tell 'em it's a simple thing.

Go to Italy, live for 30 years.

You come back,
you ask me again what it is.

You know what I do whenever I go

to a restaurant?

The first thing I do?

I taste the butter.

If the butter tastes
like the icebox,

I know I got a problem.

That's it. Come here.
Come here.

I'm gonna tell her my secret.
Here's my secret.

Stupid, it's the little things.

Can you understand that?

Please, don't ask me no more.

I want you to understand
how much we appreciate

that little favor you did
for us last night?

Well, the...

Anybody would have done
what I did. I mean...

You did very, very well, ok?

Down the road,
good things always come back to you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I want you to meet
some of my friends.

This is Barbara...

Hello. This is big Lou.

Hi.

And goombavinney.

You had a good trip? It was beautiful.

Everything good?

Somebody must really like you

to put you at this table.

What can I say?

You can say what your name is.

Meg.

Meg... carmine,
Luigi.

Hello.

Umberto.
And I'm Gianni.

You're a nice new addition.

I hope you stick around.

Thank you.

How's it goin'? Good.

Enjoyin' it?
You havin' fun?

Yeah.

It's a nice place?

Should I get you
another bottle of wine?

Yeah, please.
Keep it comin'.

Ok.

Grazie.

Thank you.

So, why did you want
to be an actress

in the first place?

Um, I guess it was
my grandmother.

She was, um... she was a flapper,

you know, in the twenties.

And she used to
put on those dresses

and do the dances,
like the Charleston

and the Lindy hop
and the shimmy,

and then she would
take me to nursing homes

and the kiwanis clubs,

and we would perform.

You would do the dances?

Yes.

Can you still do them?

Yeah, I guess so. Show me!

No. Come on. I want to see.

It's so embarrassing. Come on.

All right, I'm gonna
do it just once.

Ok.

All right.

So, the Charleston...

The Lindy hop...

My god. And the shimmy.

And I loved it.

Ok, that's silly.
So what about you?

What about me?

Why did you want
to become a doctor?

There was this albino squirrel.

An albino squirrel?

Ok, when I was little,
we lived in this house,

and there was, like,
a woods right across the street,

and one day, my brother and
I were walking in the woods,

and we found this little nest...

A little squirrel's nest that
had fallen out of the tree...

And inside was this wriggling,

tiny, little albino squirrel.

Aww.
He was...

He was small enough
to fit in my hand.

And he had little pink paws

and little pink eyes.

So we fed it little
pieces of food,

and we kept it in a
little cage at night,

and we nursed it back to health.

And it was running around,

and it was totally tame.

It would eat out of our hands

and run up and sit
on my shoulder

and sit in my brother's pocket.

That's so sweet.

Yeah. But then
somehow he ran

underneath the cushions

on the seat of the couch,

and somebody sat on... killed it.

In the couch. Yeah.

Anyway, listen.
There's an upside.

Ok.

4 weeks later,
we found another baby squirrel.

It was not an albino squirrel.
It was just a brown squirrel,

but this one was nearly dead.

He had all these wounds,

and he had maggots and worms.

Gross.

So we went to the
local nature center,

and they gave us this solution,

and we poured it on the wounds

and took q-tips and
took out the maggots...

And the squirrel survived.

That's so nice.

Yes.

Ok, here's to all the
squirrels in your family.

Here's to your
flapper grandmother.

Hello.
Hey, guys.

How ya's doin'?

Ci molta Bella.

Hi, Frankie.

You are very beautiful.

Thank you.

Molta Bella, tesoro mio.

Sorry.

She's all right.

I do not believe you, sometimes.

Where did that come from?

I took Italian in college.

I can't figure you out, babe.

Why not?

'Cause you're, like, shy,

but you're outgoing.

You're insecure,
but you're conceited.

And then, like, some things,

you're totally clueless,

and then other things you
get in 2 fuckin' seconds.

So, I'm confused.

Is that supposed
to be a compliment?

See? Now you're,
like, dissed,

but you're also flattered.

I'm not flattered.
I'm insulted.

I'm not conceited.

Whatever.

But then...

Then there's
the med school thing...

And here.

And that's the thing that
makes no fuckin' sense.

It doesn't make
any sense. I'm sorry.

You must've been
pretty good, right?

I was ok.

So, what happened?

It was just something that I
thought that I was gonna be doing

the rest of my life

and that I should be doing.

And then one day...

It didn't matter anymore.

And nothing mattered anymore.

Must've been a pretty
fucked up day?

Yeah, you could say that again.

So, what happened?

Is this 20 questions?

No. I'm... ok,
I'm sorry. Sorry.

Just, like, you know,

I like to know about the help.

The help?!
Yeah.

What, are you running the place?

No, but I will be.

It's just a matter of time.

You ready?

Hey.
Let's go.

Come on.

Coming!

Ok. "Don't even

It's a little bit schoolmarmish.

Ok. All right,
listen.

All right,
these are your lemons.

My lemons. Ok.

These are your lemons.

You've raised these
with your own hands,

and the bugs are coming,
and they're going to eat them.

Ok, now, get all Clint Eastwood on me.
Come on.

"Don't even think
about it."

You're not gettin' it.

What?

You're not gettin' it.

What do you mean?

You gotta put the fear of

What shroud?

"Don't even think

"Don't even think

"Don't

"Don't even think

Don't even fuckin'

It's only a commercial.

Yeah.

Ok, so we got "raychel"
with the heart,

obviously, right?

And then "7/11."
That's my birthday.

The day I was born,

all the doctors and the
nurses in the hospital

said I was gonna
be a very lucky baby.

Yeah, but I was born July 11,

and I have never been lucky.

What?!

You were born on 7/11? Yes.

Get the fuck outta here.
What year?

A different one, obviously,

because I've never been lucky.

Wait a minute.
No, no, no, no, no.

These are very, very,
very lucky numbers.

It's like very...
Almost a spiritual thing.

It's, like, every time, like,
I do, like, play roulette

or freakin' bet on the
horses, whatever,

I always win.

And then, like,
my last boyfriend, Marco,

I met him on 7/11,

and I broke up with him on 11/7.

So, you know what
I'm talkin' about?

Yeah, but were those both lucky?

Yeah. Well, I mean,
it's hard to explain.

It's like, ok,
when I first met him,

he was really cute and
everything and all that,

but then, like the rest
of my boyfriends,

he turned into a total asshole.

So, I guess they were both good,

but I can't believe
you were born

on the same day as me.

It's such
a coincidence.

It's bizarre.

Maybe you are gonna
make something

out of yourself after all.
No, I doubt it.

I told her she should
be in musicals.

Musicals. You should
see her dance.

See, look, you're
even dancing now.

No, no, no, no, listen.

7/11 is comin' up next week.

We gotta do somethin',
like, really, really big.

Like, really...
Like, just go sick.

Like, I think you guys
just show up, right?

And I'll just do it all.

Like, you guys,
just don't dress down.

Dress up.
You know what I mean?

We're gonna freakin'
swing it on home.

I wish I was born on 7/11.

Well, you'll be with us anyway.
Whatever.

I can't believe you were born

on the same day as me.

She's not
bad, though, that's all.

Frankie,
would you like some more wine?

Mr. Santalino?

Yeah, gimme a little, then.

Just a little.

Grazie. Grazie.

Come here.
Come here a second.

See if you can help
me out with something.

I get this real bad
burnin' sensation,

this feeling after I eat,

like, right in here.
Right around, like, in here.

Sometimes, right after,

my heart starts beating so fast

I can't even stand up.

Have you been experiencing

a lot of stress
lately, Mr. Santalino?

Nah. I have no problems.

Ok, I think it's acid reflux,

and a drug like Nexium
can take care of it.

There is a surgical procedure,

but I don't think
that you need that.

The rapid heartbeat,

which is called
ventricular tachycardia,

can be triggered by the reflux,

and if that doesn't go away for
about 10 minutes afterwards,

then you should take
a beta blocker.

No operation?

No. I don't think so.
You'll be fine.

You are some kid.
Put this in your pocket.

Put it in your pocket.

Go ahead, pour the wine.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you.

She saved my life.
I'm gonna live.

Salute?

Cheers.

So, I found
this really great

converted loft space,

and...

And it's just gonna be me there.

It'll be the first time
I ever had

my own place.

So, I'm excited.

But I'll be sad to leave here.

Thank you so much for letting
me stay here, grandma.

It's been so great.

I felt like I was
a little girl again.

Now, I'm gonna be very close by,

so if you need anything,

you just tell Mrs.
Saladino to call Meg.

Meg.

Yeah.
That's me. Meg.

Thank you for
letting me stay here.

It's been so wonderful
to be able

to spend this time
with you, grandma.

I love you so much.

Good.

This
is interesting.

Well, guys,
what do you think?

Meg,
why is there a picture

of a dead fuckin' crow
with toe tags on your wall?

It's not my crow.

It came with the apartment.

I... i like it.

I don't know why, but I like it.

See? Thank you, Kate.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Any more mango margaritas?

You know what?

Other than that dead crow...

You did really good
with this place.

Yeah.
It's really nice.

Thanks.
Cheers.

Cheers.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Now let's talk
about you getting laid.

What?

No, thanks.

I... i can do very well

without that complication
in my life,

thank you very much.

What about Frankie?

Frankie is not for her, ok?

Trust me on this?
I know.

That's ok. That's ok,

because I'm really
not interested in anybody.

Come on. There's gotta
be somebody. Wh... why?

What happened? What, did you get
dumped really bad or something?

Like, what?

No, I'm just... I'm
just not... not ready.

Nothing like that.

Look, I guarantee you,

whatever it is,
we've all been through it. Right?

Definitely.

So?

Um... ok.

Um, I was engaged
to be married...

And we'd been living
together for about 2 years...

And he was the one.

There was no question about it.

And one night,
we were coming home late from a party,

and I was the designated driver,

and he was...

I thought he was asleep,

and all of a sudden,
he popped up,

and he... and he called out,

"hey,
look over there."

And he pointed,

and I turned my head so fast

that the, um...

The right front wheel,

it... it... it... it went off
the road into the side,

and... and we started
going into a slide.

And...

After that, I don't really...

I don't remember very much,

except that I heard him scream,

and then we hit
a telephone pole...

And...

And he was killed instantly.

And...

And I just had a few
cuts and bruises and...

Holy shit.

Do you know...

Do you know what he
wanted me to look at?

It was... it was a Ferris wheel.

It was a fuckin' Ferris wheel.

Sorry.

How long ago did it happen?

Um,

um, it was about...

I don't know.
It was...

It was... it was...

It was 3 months ago yesterday.

I'm so sorry.

Ok. Ok...

This is what we're gonna do.

Next week,
it's me and Kate's birthday, right?

Right.

And what we're gonna do is,

you're gonna
be a part of it, ok?

Right? And it's
gonna be, like...

It's gonna be,
like, a rebirthday, ok?

And we're not gonna fuckin' cry,

and we're not gonna
celebrate the fuckin' past.

We're gonna
celebrate the future,

because all of us have a lot

to look forward to.

Right?
Yeah.

Thank you. You got it.

Ok, cheers to the rebirthday.

Ok, cheers.

Thank you.

Celebrating life.

Yeah.
Ok.

You guys are so sweet.
Thank you.

I need some more fuckin' wine.

There you are, sir.
Thank you.

Meg. Hey, can you sit a minute?

I'm pretty busy.

Sit down one minute.
It's my restaurant.

I, i got some
of that medicine

for my, you know, the agita.

It's like a miracle potion.

It was gone,
like it never happened.

Great.

You're impressive, kid.
You're impressive.

You know, you really
do know your stuff.

You're sweet.

No, no, you're a good kid.

Look, let me do the right
thing, will ya?

No, no, no.
That's not necessary.

Mr. Santalino,
I don't...

Honey, we're not
talking necessary, ok?

You treat me good,
I treat you good.

It's the way of the world.

Thank you.

You know, I was thinkin', um...

I'd like you to get to
know my son frank better.

He's a good boy,
the kid, you know?

I... i think you got
a lot in common.

I'm not really looking...

Hey, pop.

Hey, fra... I'm just
talkin' about you.

Yeah?

How you doin', Meg?

I'm good, Frankie.
How are you?

I'm doin' well.

You know, you're startin'
to look better and better.

Thanks.

When you first came here,
you were such a klutz.

You were something more
like the cat dragged in.

The improvement is really
nothin' short of miraculous.

Il santalino's been,

apparently pretty good
for your health,

right, pop?

Well, you know, the food here...

She's a very attractive woman.

Do you know that he's got

a college degree,
too?

No. I didn't
know that.

Long island university.

Really?

What was your major?

Administration of justice.

I wanted to learn
how the system worked.

So, why did you
abandon the tradition

of coming here
for your birthday?

Well, when I was 14,

my father disappeared,

and this is, like, our place
to go, and whatever.

And, um, when he was gone...

Since he was the only one in my
friggin' family who really gave a shit

about me at all anyway

and the only one who ever
remembered my birthday,

the tradition kind of
went with him.

So, why come back now?

Well...

I don't want you to think
I'm freakin' crazy,

but you already do anyway,
so... so who cares at this point?

But, don't get, like,
all full of yourselves, or whatever...

But seriously, for, like...

For the first time
in a really long time,

I kind of feel like
I have a family again.

You know what I mean?

That's sweet.

So it was time to come back.

You know what I mean?

How's everything?

Hi, Angela.

Everything ok? Very good.

The clam sauce?
I was worried.

The best.
Good.

It was really good,
and I'm not even a clam fan.

You know what?

It's so nice to be back here.

You know what?
You've been gone too long.

Too long, raychel.

I know. And I miss
your father.

Thank you. You know,
it's been a little rough in the beginning,

but now, you know,
it's getting better.

The place looks so good.

I know. I'm trying
to keep it the same.

It looks just like... Joey!
Joey, get over here.

Get these things off your head.

Hi, Joey.

Hi.

Look at these
beautiful ladies here.

That's Meg, and that's Kate.

It's all of our birthdays.

What do you say?

Merry Christmas?

Very funny!

He's driving me nuts.

What is he, a wisenheimer?

Is he worse than me
when I was little?

Let's not talk about you
when you were little,

'cause you all had
a nice dinner,

and we don't want
to ruin it, right?

I'll be right back.

She used to watch over me.
She's cool.

You know everybody here.

Well, it's like, you know,

when I was, you know,
growin' up,

my father, every single year

he made, like,
a really big deal out of my birthday.

He would have, like,
freakin' Roman candles

and what is it, the m-80s?

And they would, like,
all blow up outside,

and I would look out the
window, and it was so nice.

My god.

I can't believe you.

We didn't have the romans,
but happy birthday.

Thank you so much.

You're gonna have
good luck this year.

Thank you.

It's beautiful, right?

Let's all make a wish.
Ready?

Right now.

Ok, 1, 2, 3.

Ok, no matter what
happens, next year,

we're all gonna
be here 7/11, right?

Birthday girls, rebirthday girl.

All of us together.
Champagne, sparklers, and all.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Cheers.

All right, make a pact.
Make a pact.

Grab your sparkler...

All right!

Not bad?

What the...

What the fuck is your problem?!

Do that again.

Excuse me?

I said do that again.

What the fuck
did you say to me?!

Excuse me.
Forget it.

Hey, why don't you
pick on someone

your own fuckin' size, dickhead?

Move outta my way', bitch...

Excuse me, if it's about fuckin'
her, it's about me.

Ok, come on. Let's
just get out of here.

Not until I say so. Hey!

Get the... what are you...

Don't even think about it!

Don't you fuckin'
think about it!

Don't even fuckin'
think about it!

What's goin' on?

All right, let's go.
Let's go.

Get him outta here.

Whoa!

My god, you guys, I wish...

I wish you had hit him.

It felt so good.
I think I found my forte.

I like smacking people!

Come on, let's go find
someone else to smack!

Fuckin' smackin' people!

Whoo!

My god,
you guys are so great.

Thank you so much for letting
me be a part of your birthday.

What, are you crazy?
This is your birthday, too.

Happy rebirthday.

Megsie.

Do me a favor.

Take this over
to table 7 for me.

Gianni the lush?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Gianni the lush.

Alrighty.

Alrighty.

Your swan, sir.

Anything else?

Nothing.

♪ Do do Dee do

raychel, what's this?

♪ Show some discretion,
please, thank you ♪

♪ take that

♪ de Dee Dee

I don't get it.

Ok. Il santalino's
world-famous takeout.

Some people like
cheap wine and valium.

Some people like swans
with zesty takeout. Bing.

All right, Meg,
consider it your fee

for services rendered.

It's money, remember?

You take it
and buy things with it?

Like pants...

Sweater...

Shoes...

I don't know.
Get your hair done.

You owe me money!

All right, then. Pay it.

Quit the fucking bullshit!

I want my fuckin' money! All right!

Gimme the fuckin' money! I gave you
the money!

Bullshit!
You owe me the vig!

Where's the vig?!
Where's the vig?!

What are you gonna do?
Calm down!

What are you gonna do?

What are you
gonna do, tough guy?

Give me my fuckin' money,
you shit!

I gave you your money!

Give me my fuckin' money!

Gimme my fuckin' money!

I gave you your fuckin' money!

I want it!
I want it!

Let go!
Let go of him! Stop!

Get the fuck off of me.

Come on, go inside.
Go inside.

I'll give you your money.

Jesus...

Look at this.
Fuckin' mess.

Come on, come on, come on.
Go to the bathroom.

Goddamn it. Look at this.
I don't know.

Long night?

Are you ok?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Ok. See you tomorrow.

Kate?

Yeah?

Do you ever deliver
leftovers to customers?

Yeah, when they ask.

And does raychel
prepare that for you?

Not necessarily.

I usually get 'em
from Lorenzo. Why?

Never mind.
It's nothing.

Ok. It's been a long night.
You're tired.

Go home. Go to sleep.

Bye.bye. Good night, gio.

Good night, hon.

So these are all the receipts.
They're all done.

Good.

Tomorrow night's that reception,

so make sure you do something
nice with your hair, all right?

Ok. Thanks.

I'll walk you out.

Thanks,
Mr. Santalino.

I can't tell you how happy
we are with you here.

You know all my regulars
ask for you now?

Even Lorenzo occasionally has got
something good to say about you.

Wow.

Well, I just can't
thank you enough

for al the good things
you've done for me.

No, don't even mention it.
Don't even mention it.

You know, raychel...

She believes in you.

You know, she believes
you could be trusted?

So do I.

Thanks. you're welcome.

Come on.

How is your grandmother?

My grandmother?

You know the little Italian
lady that takes care of her?

She told me that the check
she gets from your parents

is not really enough
to give her a good life.

I didn't know that
there was a problem.

Well, it's not
a problem anymore.

I took care of it.
It's handled, ok?

Your grandmother's gonna me much
more comfortable from now on.

But, you didn't need to do that.
I could...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

We're family.

Families take care of their own.

Ok.

You're a good girl, Meg.

You're a fine, fine girl.

Thank you.

Go on. Get outta here.
Go home. It's late.

You'll be all right?

Yeah, thank you.

Buona sera.
Buona sera.

You always had such
pretty, fine hair.

I remember when I was little,

you told me that I had your
hair, and I was very happy.

Things are going
really well right now.

I've got a great place.

It's really nice...

And work is going better, and...

And I have these
2 wonderful friends

that you would really like.

I think you'd find
them really great.

Grandma...

I wonder if you ever
took a few steps

without knowing
where you were going,

and then you took
a few more steps...

And all of a sudden,
you found yourself on a different path

than you ever thought
that you would be on...

And you had no idea
how to turn around.

I wonder what you would have
done, grandma.

But then I bet you wouldn't ever

have been in this
situation to begin with.

'Cause you were always so good.

Hey, what are you doin'?

You don't grab
the frickin' bottle.

Why don't you go cook me something
in the kitchen, all right?

It's been fun.
We'll get married.

Hey, I have an
announcement to make...

Gianni, you touch
my ass tonight,

you're gettin'
a bottle upside the head.

Good night, guys.

You know what it is, don't you?

It's this tacky fuckin'
dress you got on.

What am I gonna do?
Teresa Marie picked it out.

Yeah, just 'cause you're
in the wedding party

don't mean you don't work here.

I'm working, all right.
Megsie...

College girl, let's go.
Quit yappin'.

All right.

Grappas all around for Frankie's table.
Let's go.

Hey!

You got a problem? No, she don't
got a problem.

I don't like to be hit on the
ass, but that's ok.

Excuse me.Gio.

Come on. Let's go.

Gio. Me and you
goin' dancin'.

Right? We're
gettin' married.

Next wedding is you and me.

Me and you in leather.

In a thong.

Whatever you want.
Thong schmong.

Listen to me.

What is up with him?

Why is he riding me like that?

Ok, I wanted to tell
you, he's a little upset

about you knowing about
being a part of the deal.

"The deal"?
Yeah.

All right, but don't
worry about it. It's good.

Just give him
the freakin' grappas.

They're drunk.
Don't engage with them.

Just do your thing, ok?
Good, good, good. Good night, babe.

What, did I put these here to collect dust?
Come on, let's go.

Sorry. I was just
saying good-bye.

Let's go.
Ok, ok.

You're late.

All right, I'm
coming, I'm coming.

Tick, tick, tick.

Ok. Come on, honey.

Hey!

Move.

I told you, don't touch me.

Hi.

Hey, Meg, how are you?

I'm fine.

Sit down.
Sit for a moment.

No, I can't.
I gotta...

Come on, everybody's
enjoying themselves.

Sit down. Have a drink.

I can't, 'cause you know...

Hey, gio works for me.

Don't worry about it.
I'm telling you, park it.

Come on, please?

Ok.

You know, you got
so much goin' for you.

Sometimes, I look in those
big, beautiful brown eyes,

and I see sadness.

I just want to tell you

I think you're
a fascinating woman.

Thanks.

And whether you know it or not,

I'm your ace in the hole.

Ok?

Ok, ok.
All right, give me a kiss.

No, I can't kiss you.

Come on. One kiss.
It's a wedding party.

Gimme a kiss here! No! I...

One kiss, one kiss,

Come on, please.

One more!
One more!

No, no, no, no.

Please, baby, one more.

No, no, no.

Excuse me.

I really need your help.

I'm so sorry, Frankie.

That's all right. Hey.

This is for you.

It's just a taste
of what's to come, ok?

Hey, that's a good name
for a porno movie?

Taste of what's to come.

My god.

I cannot believe
the men in this place.

You want me to smack 'em,

you just let me know.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you fuckin' doin'?

What?

You bring us 2 grappas...
Are you fuckin' stupid?

Hey, easy?

That's what you asked for.

1, 2. 1, 2! 2 more!

What the fuck is so hard
to understand?

You asked me for 2,
so I brought you 2.

2 each! 2 each!

Jesus fu...

What are we, supposed to
share this and sing Kumbaya?

Ok. So it's one more each.
Right?

You want me to write you a note

so you can remember when
you get the fuck over there?

Good.

What the fuck is that?!
Fuck it. I'll get it myself.

Come on, come on,
come on. Relax, relax.

What's the matter?
Relax. Come on.

We're having a good time.
Have a drink.

Come here, sweetie.

I don't know about you,

but I had it
with that fucking guy.

You just say the word.
You understand,

I'll rip his fuckin'
throat out. Capisce?

Are you gonna be all right?

Good call.

He's a really mean drunk.

Sure you're gonna be all right?

Fine. You want to
have brunch tomorrow?

Yeah.
Ok.

Ok. Bye.
Bye.

1, 2.

Thank you, sweetheart.
Thank you.

Look at this fuckin' girl.

She's still
fuckin' finishin' up.

That's enough?

Half an hour ago,
I told her to do this.

You fuckin' believe it?

If she was a doctor,
I'd be fuckin' dead by now.

Ain't that right, puttana?

If I were a doctor,
I would have let you die by now,

you misogynistic little prick!

Excuse me, what the fuck
did you say to me?

What part didn't you understand?

"Little prick" or fuck off?!

Beautiful, baby.

Pull the little prick out.

He's all talk
and no dick, right?

You fuckin' hit fuckin'
girls, motherfucker?!

Get up,
you son of a bitch!

Get up!

You all right?

You sure?

Get up, you piece of shit.

Hey, hey, enough, enough.

What is this?
What's happening here?

You... you did that?

Gio...

You like to beat up women.

I... i didn't know that.

I didn't... I didn't know.

I... i... i didn't know.

That bitch... Deserved it.

She deserved it?
She de...

Aah! Aah!

You fuck! You fuck!

You fucker!

Pww! You fuck.
I spit in your fuckin' soul.

Look at you.

Come here. Come here.
Please come here.

I'm not gonna hurt you. It's me.
Come on. Come on. Come on.

Look at what he did
to your face.

Hold that there.
Here, baby, baby.

He was a thief.
He was robbin' us.

Ok? He was robbing us.

Don't mean anything.

You gonna be ok?

Ok.

I'm sorry. It's all right.

I'm ok. I'm ok.

I'm sorry.

Ok. I'm ok.

Take care of everything. Ok, ok.

I'm gonna make a phone call.

Go get me 2 tablecloths.

Now! Go get me
2 tablecloths!

Move!

Hurry up. Andiamo! Hurry up!

Give it.

Wrap up his fucking head.

Wouldn't fuckin' listen,
would you?

He's... he's... he's alive.

He's still breathing.
He's still breathing.

Shut up. Wrap up
his fuckin' head.

But he's alive!
He's alive! Gimme this!

He's alive!
He's alive!

We could help him.

Get outta here.Please.

Please, we could do
something for him.

Please, please.

Get away from him! Frankie... Please.

You can't save him now.

Let's go.

We got business.
Move!

Yes, steak over
at oneskie's is good.

Yeah, it's good for nothing.

Nothing like viencarlugas.

Viencarlugas to die for.

To die for. Best cuts of meat
you'll ever have in the world.

I'm telling ya,
the best thing you'll ever taste.

Nothin' like it. Come on.
Let's get outta here.

God, what is this place?

It's a surprise.
It's a special surprise.

Frank, what are you doing?

No.

At this time, we're in need of
your special and unique talent.

What are you talking about?

You know. Just like you med
students do in first year.

Chop-chop-chop.

No. No, no, no, no.Yeah.

No, I won't do that.

Come here!

Come here! Come here.

No, no!

It's very simple.
Either you do this,

or you'll never leave
this fuckin' place alive.

Do you understand?
You understand?

Please don't make me do this.
I beg you. I beg you.

No more talk.
No more talk!

I beg you, please.

Cut him into small bits
so he fits in the machine.

God, no.

You do it right,
and nobody ever finds out.

You're gonna be part
of this now.

I... can't do that.

I can't do that.
I just can't.

You want to live,
or you want to die?

You don't think I'll do it?

I'm sure you'll do it.

Aah!

Get that gun away from my head.

Time to operate, doctor.

And I fucking did it.

I cut him up into little pieces,

and I put him into the grinder,

and then... then they
washed away the blood,

and they took my dress 'cause
it was covered with blood,

and they put it in the truck,
and then Mr. Santalino came,

and he threatened me,

and then Frankie came.

Frankie wanted
to kiss me good night.

But I should have
let him fuck me!

That's what I deserve!

I don't believe this.

But he had a gun
to my head, right?

He had a gun, so I...
You know,

I would have been dead, right?

There was a moment...
There was one moment

when I was standing there
in front of gio's naked body

with all those saws and the
cutters and the meat grinders...

And... and i... and i...
And I thought,

"I should just do it. I should just
let Frankie shoot me in the head,

and then it would be over."

That's what I should have done.

I couldn't fucking do it!

I couldn't fucking do it!

My whole fucking life
is a fucking lie!

Now I just have
to get out of here

as fast as I possibly can,

and... and... and
please tell raychel

that I said good-bye.

I tried to call her,
but she wasn't there,

and... and... and I just
love you guys so much.

You've been so wonderful to me,

and I just want
to say good-bye. You can't go, Meg.

What are you doing? Move back.

What... what are you doing?

You were a witness to a murder.

You can put these guys away.

What are you talking about?

Do you know what these
monsters will do to me

and what they will
do to my grandmother

if I ever said anything?

I have to go.

No!

Stand back. Get back!

I'm a police officer.

You're a police officer?

Kate?

I'm wired.

Everything you said about
the murder is on tape.

In about 2 minutes,
my partners will be up here

to make sure
you don't go anywhere.

I didn't want it
to turn out this way.

I had no choice.
I'm sorry.

You're a fucking great actress.

Do you
understand the seriousness

of the charges
that you're facing?

This is
bullshit.

They know what they're doing.
She'll break.

Look at her.
She doesn't care.

Threats aren't gonna work.

Look, when she realizes she can
spend a long time in prison...

She not gonna spend
a day in prison.

There's not enough hard evidence

to convince anyone that she
was an accessory to murder.

We got her on drug trafficking...

So I spent
6 months undercover

to what, bust a waitress,
put her away for 6 months... a year?

No, wh... she could be convinced it
could be a lot longer than that...

There is not enough time to
convince her of anything.

If she doesn't show up to
the restaurant tonight,

she becomes a target,
and we're all out of fucking luck!

Fine. You go talk to her.

I'm not gonna talk to her.

I'm the last one
she's gonna listen to.

I don't think so.

Agency protocol.

"Undercover do not
interview their targets."

Yeah, well, I'm making
an exception here, so...

It is not my job. Well, I'm making it
your job.

It's not my job! I'm making it
your job.

It's not my fucking job!

Jesus, when'd you stop
following orders?

Could you just do
what I fuckin' asked, please?

Fine. Get rid of
the fucking douchebags!

Fine.

You want me to do your
fucking job for you, too?

Man, I fucking
hate this place.

Yeah, fuck you, asshole.

I'm here to offer you something.

You have an opportunity.

Yeah, right.

Listen to me.
You don't have to like me.

I don't.

You can even hate me.
It really doesn't matter,

but I suggest you hear me out.

You have a chance to make
your life right again.

I don't have a life anymore.

My life's over.

That's not true.

I know you didn't intend to consort
with drug dealers and murderers.

You were just trying
to get back on your feet,

and along the way,
you made a few bad choices.

I'm looking at one of them.

And this is your chance
to make it right again.

Who are you, the moral police?

I mean, how dare you
come in here

and talk to me about
right and wrong?

I know what I did.

I know what I did.

The santalinos were running
a major drug operation

out of that restaurant.

You didn't even witness
a fraction of it.

Our problem has been to get
them with their hands dirty,

but they're too smart for
that, until the murder.

Now, you, we, have a chance
to put them away for life.

You already told us that
they dispose of any evidence

at the meat plant,

and unfortunately,
the cold, hard fact is

that your testimony
will not be enough.

So what do you want from me?

We want you to go back
into the restaurant wired

and get Frankie
or Mr. Santalino

to talk about the murder,
place themselves at the scene.

Are you out of
your fucking mind?

You will be under protective
custody until the trial,

and then you will go in the
witness protection program.

The d.E.A. Has connections

with some very good
medical schools.

Go ahead, shake your head,

but don't be stupid just
'cause you're pissed off at me.

This is your chance.

This is your chance to
start your life over again.

What would happen
to my grandmother?

This is not about
your grandmother.

Yes, this is
about my grandmother.

You know if I do
anything to help you,

you know what's
gonna happen to her.

Fine. You give us a written
statement that you will work with us,

and we will take care
of your grandmother.

And how do I know that I
can trust you this time?

You are under arrest,
and if you don't show up for work,

both you and your
grandmother are fucked.

You fucking callous
little bitch.

You fucking bitch!

So, the mic is
in the locket, ok?

Now, we got
2 surveillance teams...

One in the front,
one in the back...

But inside, you're on your own.

And nobody does nothing

until you get Frankie
or santalino

to talk about gio.

I just can't believe
that they would

do anything that stupid.

If it doesn't work,
we'll try something else.

Would you cut the shit?

There is nothing else.
We got one shot.

Shut the fuck up.
You can do it.

We go in 15.

So, what about raychel?

What's gonna happen to her?

She's a part of it.

Small-time, but part of it.

Jesus.

I'll do what I can to help her.

So thisis where
you change for work?

I mean, when I called you,
did a phone ring here?

Were you waiting around here?
I don't understand.

Is your real name even Kate?

No. No, it's not.

So, what is it?

It doesn't matter.

So, what else isn't
true about you?

The flapper grandmother?
The dancing?

Obviously the auditions.

I'll tell you
what's true about me.

Ever since I was a kid,
I wanted to be a cop.

And for the last
10 years of my life,

I've worked my ass off
to get the scumbags

like the santalinos
off the street.

For that, I have no apologies.

And I'll give you 2 more things

that are true about me:

One, I hated working
in that shithole.

And two, believe it or not,

I'm gonna miss you and raychel.

Ok, time to go.

Garcia,
you in position?

We are in position.
Over.

10-4.

Hey, fellas,
how you doing?

Come on, let's go inside.

You look very nice tonight.

Raychel, how 'bout it?

We're hungry.

Megsie, look...

Mr. Santalino needs
those appetizers, like,

sometime this century, ok?

Ok, I'll do it.
I'll do it. Here.

Ok, order in.

Look, I hope you don't mind
taking orders from me, ok?

I'm just trying to do my job.
You know that, right?

I don't mind at all.

Ok. Look, Lorenzo.

The guy knows.

You learn something new
every day.

I'm sorry for the delay.

It's good to see you
again tonight, Meg.

Thanks, Frankie.

You're looking more
beautiful than ever.

I second that fuckin' motion.

Clean up your language
in front of her.

Don't you know why
she's special?

Why?

Because she's as beautiful
inside as she is out?

Thank you.

Can I get you
something else?

I didn't get your bread.

No, we're in good shape.

Just your company, honey.
Just your company.

You stop by later
with us, all right?

Ok.

Ok. Thank you.

Mangia.

Salute.

She's angelic.

We'll see.

How you doing?

I don't know if I can do this.

You can do it.

How ya's doing?

Great.
Good. Thank you.

Got everything under control?

Yeah.

Ok.

Congratulations.

Yeah. Whatever.
Thank you.

I think
Mr. Santalino knows.

He was looking at me
really strangely...

No. Shh.
It's ok. It's ok.

There goes Frankie
into the back room.

Go ahead.

You can do it.

It's ok.

What is it?

It's Meg.

Come on in.

Hi.

Hey, sweetheart.
How you doing?

Not so good.

Could I have some aspirin?

My head, it feels like
it's about to explode.

Yeah. Sure.

Why don't you have a seat?

2 aspirin comin' up.

Thanks.

What's the problem,
sweetheart? Rough night?

I haven't been able to eat
or sleep since last night.

I keep seeing gio's bloody face

in front of my eyes. I...

Shh...

I don't know how to handle it.

Here.

It's gonna be ok.

That better?

Yeah.

Don't stress.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I promise.

Look at you.

You're so calm.

How do you remain
in control like that?

I have other things on my mind.

Yeah?

Like what?

It's the first time
I have you alone.

You're so beautiful.

I'm sorry.

It's ok.

I'm sorry that I fought you.

It's ok. It's ok.

You're so much stronger
than me. It's never...

But why did you
have to kill him?

Couldn't you have
just beaten him?

Why did you have to kill him?

I don't know what
you're talkin' about.

Would you excuse me
for a second?

I have to make a phone call.

Thank you.

Thanks for the aspirin.

My pleasure.

Everything's quiet.

10-4.

Hey, what are you doing
back here working so hard?

What are you talking about?

Well, you're always
the first one to leave.

What are you doing? Go home.
I'll do this for you.

I'm the manager now.
It's my job to close up.

You know?

Yeah, but I could do it.

It's fine. I don't mind.
You should just go home.

What's goin' on with you?
You havin' a little trouble

taking orders from me
or something?

What's goin' on?

Raychel, listen to me.
You have to get out of here.

What are you talking about?

You gotta get out of here.

Just trust me.
I can't explain why.

What's going on?

Everything ok?

Yeah, everything is
just fine and dandy.

I was just saying that
raychel looked a little tired,

and in honor of her
being manager,

I thought that you and me
could close up for her.

I think it's up to raychel
to do what she wants to do.

Thank you.
I'll do my job.

Goddamn you, Kate.

Why can't you do
something decent

for a change?
She's our friend.

I'm aware that
raychel's our friend.

What the hell is going on?

Lay out
the champagne, boys.

Time to toast our new manager.

Hey, now.
How you doing?

Hello, baby, to you.

I get a freakin' toast now?

Of course, baby.
You deserve it?

You deserve it.

Thank you.
I'm trying to class up

my act a little,
you know what I mean?

You clean up real nice.

You're the best.

To raychel.
She's the best.

Yeah, to raych.

Cheers. Ba bing.

Success.

To you, baby.

Give me
some more of that?

We're almost out.
It's the hostess with the most-ess.

It's going to my head.

I gotta get back to work.

Don't want some more?

Hello. I came back
like you asked.

Great. Sit down.

I've been thinking a lot
in the last 24 hours,

and...

You see...

All my life...

I've somehow been involved

with guys like gio,

guys who would,

abuse me or hurt me,

either with their fists
or with their words,

and sometimes it was both.

You know what I'm saying?

And...

And all my life,
I never had anyone...

To defend me
from those monsters.

Until last night.

And I just want to thank you...

Because I never realized
how much I needed...

Someone to do that for me.

Someone to...

Be my hero.

I just wanted to thank you.

That's it.

That's all I want to say.

Meg.

Come here.
Sit a minute.

Can I make you a promise?

If any person

ever lays their hands on you

and hurts you,

I'll do to them

what I did to gio.

I'll crush their throat.

You got that?

Ok, that's our deal together.

I promise you.

I'll always look out for you.

Always, you hear?

Ok. Thanks.

Whoa. Hold...
Hold one second.

What?

My god.

Now.
Movin' in.

Move in! Move in!
Move in! Move in!

What is that?

You fuckin' bitch. You...

Police! Don't move!

Get your fucking hands
on the table!

Don't move!

Get away from the bar!

Get your fucking hands
on the table!

Don't move!

Drop the gun! Do it now!

Get 'em out of here now!

Aah!

Aah!

Kate!

Kate, try to breathe.

Aah! Aah!

Look at me!

Look at me!
My son is dead, you puttana!

Puttana!

Put your gun down!
Put your hands up!

Hands behind your back.

God.
Please breathe.

Don't struggle.
Let's go.

Jesus Christ.

Police! Don't move!
Drop the knife!

Her lungs are filling up
with blood! She's dying!

No!

Joey Jr., I need you
in the kitchen now.

Happy birthday, raychel.

What are you doing here?

We made a pact to meet
at the shore club

for our birthday.

A pact with someone
who's pretending

to be somebody else does
not mean nothing, ok?

Well, it meant something to me.

I got a lot of work
to do, all right?

Raychel, we had
enough hard evidence

to put you away
for a very long time,

and, um, you just got probation.

Why do you suppose
that was, coincidence?

I don't know, Kate.

I really got a lot to do, ok?

I got something for you.

Look...

I really appreciate
the gesture, ok?

But I just want you to know

that none of this
means anything to me

without Meg, all right?

I agree with you.

Why 3 glasses?

What, is that supposed to be,
like, a symbol or something?

No.

I really don't need
this right now, ok?

Could you just please
leave me alone?

Raychel.

What...

My...

Happy birthday.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Well, I could tell you,

but then I would
have to kill you.

What is this?

This, um, breaks every rule
in the book, but...

The rebirthday pact overrules.

Happy birthday.

Happy rebirthday.

I love you guys so much.

I love you.

And I love you, too,

even though you're
a freakin' cop.

All right, now we need
some food or something.

Let's sit down.

You remembered
to bring me what I like.

Maybe we could just get
wasted and forget the food.

I don't know.

Is Lorenzo back there?

Maybe we could go smack him.

Let's go smack everybody.
