25th Hour Page #2

The...

Yeah.

She said,

"Where did you get

the money for that?"

- And?

- And what did I say or...

...where did I get the money?

- What did you say?

- I said he likes me.

Does he?

No. Why do you care so much?

Just curious.

So, ...

...you're not gonna change the grade?

No. I'm not gonna

change the grade.

Great.

This was a big waste of time.

Hold on.

Slaughtery. I can't talk.

Employment number's due.

- I just...

- Call you later.

I'm supposed to meet you at Mont...

Frank. Coming out with us tonight?

- Nah, gotta meet some friends.

- Big date? Can I bang her first?

You wish.

Nah, it's a going-away party.

Listen. You still holding

those OEX contracts?

Believe it. Why? Nervous?

Claims numbers are dropping.

I'm not comfortable with it.

Claims drop,

so employment must go up? C'mon!

Frank, look at me.

Everybody thinks this

cos it's nearly always true.

When it rains, people get wet.

Right or wrong?

Not this time. I got a theory. Look.

Good. You've got a theory!

Look, Frank.

F*** you and your theory.

- Good. Nice.

- We're in deep.

- You've got 60 million dollars...

- A hundred.

A hundred f***ing million?

What are you two doin'? You wanna

join the unemployed? Back to work.

Sal, you knew.

They raised my limit to 100.

A week ago.

They raised it a week ago.

- What, you want me to sit on it?

- First, don't raise your voice.

You cannot put me, you

or this firm in jeopardy

by putting $100 million on one idea!

Right or wrong?

- C'mon!

- Yeah.

Listen. I think we're in for

a low number, alright? 140, 135.

Who gives a sh*t what you think?

You're being a cowboy.

You come in, you don't even shave.

Stop playing with this and listen.

You come here

drinking your Red Bullshit,

you stink of booze, out all night

partying, that's OK.

But when you become a cowboy,

I draw the line.

I am still your boss and I am telling

you, sell half those contracts.

Is that clear?

Do I make myself clear, Frank?

- Do I make myself clear to you?

- Yeah.

Yes? Good. Have a good day.

And by the way, we're still on for

Friday. Courtside. Don't be late.

It's mayhem at the Ex change,

awaiting the unemployment number.

Salomon Brothers,

along with most others,

feel the number will be high,

around 250, 000...

Sallie's looking for a high number.

- F*** Salomon Brothers.

- F*** Salomon Brothers?

Yeah. They're hedging their bets,

want everybody on their side.

What's the big deal with

the employment number, anyway?

Look, more jobs, fewer people hunting

work, harder to find good people.

You gotta raise wages to get them.

Means inflation goes up. Got it?

- Yeah.

- I didn't think so.

That's why I do this and you

hand out junk mail. Get off my desk.

- A striped shirt and a striped tie?

- Yeah, it's for the ladies...

Do the ladies ever say you look

like a f***ing optical illusion?

- Go away. Disappear. Come on.

- I'm out of here.

Better hop to, sonny boy.

You're not picking up

the phone to sell those contracts.

Didn't your daddy just

cut off your allowance?

I'm a little surprised. You're not

going to disobey a direct order?

Marcuse, do I come into your bedroom,

tell you how to blow your boyfriend?

No. Go away.

- Hey, Schultz!

- Yo?

- What you got on unemployment?

- 250, 270, somewhere in there.

Big number!

Frank. We alright?

We're good.

So who really knows...?

The number's coming out...

Get me out, now!

We're goin' for a ride now!

Where've you been?

I got up at seven this morning.

- You were already gone.

- Yeah, I just...

I needed to walk around, you know?

- How long you been on the stoop?

- All day.

I've been waiting for you.

- It's a beautiful day.

- Yeah, I guess it is.

Mr Doyle.

I missed you this morning.

Montgomery, I want you to talk to me.

- About what, Nat?

- How you're feeling.

How do you think I'm feeling?

I don't like to assume.

- Well, good. Don't.

- What do you want?

I want to be like that girl in

the X-Men, who walks through walls.

Go on.

If I can't do that, I don't know,

boom, one shot to the head.

Problem solved.

- Don't joke about that.

- Who says I'm joking?

What are we doing tonight?

Before you kill yourself.

Uncle Nikolai's throwing me

a party down at Bridge.

Figured we'd all head down there.

Come on. I have to go.

I got no choice.

Might as well try to have fun.

- Isn't it over with those guys?

- Yeah, it's almost over.

It's never really over

with these guys, but...

That's a nasty habit you have,

you know that?

Come take a bath with me.

No, not right now.

Go on. Go ahead.

You can't see me being a father?

No. I can see you

fathering children.

- I couldn't see you raising any.

- I won't raise my own "chalupas"?

I'll raise my own chalupas.

We're definitely not having kids

if you call them chalupas.

I think we would have very, ...

...very beautiful babies.

- Show me that.

- What? No, no, no.

I can't believe you did that.

I can't believe... Why?

You've lived in the States

all your life.

You've been to Puerto Rico twice,

on vacation.

I'm very proud of my heritage.

Yeah, but... What does that mean?

What, so I should get

an Irish flag tattooed on my ass?

There's not enough room

on your skinny white flat ass.

Well, between you and me,

the kids should be just about right.

Kids? We're not having any.

It's probably your mother.

Coming!

Doyle, cut it out.

Kostya, you have

the worst timing ever...

Sorry to bother you, ma'am.

Is Montgomery Brogan in?

Monty?

Monty!

- Montgomery Brogan?

- Yeah, that's me.

- Agent Flood, Drug Enforcement.

- I can see that. What is this?

We've got a warrant

to search your apartment.

Are you serious? Go ahead.

- Easy, Doyle.

- I see no tags on that dog.

- Inside he doesn't need tags.

- I could have the pound take him.

Seen too many men

bit by these mean bastards.

Doyle! C'mon.

Sit.

You mind if I have a seat?

No. Be my guest.

Ms Riviera?

That's your name, right?

I need you to stay right here, ma'am.

Can't have you sneaking around.

This sofa's not very comfortable.

Maybe it's your posture.

Posture's very important.

No, it's this Castro convertible.

It's very uncomfortable.

It's kinda lumpy.

I just don't understand it.

It looks like such a nice sofa.

How much did you pay

for this sofa, Ms Riviera?

- Maybe it's the padding.

- Yeah. Could be the padding.

Yeah.

Probably the padding.

Go on, get it over with.

There's something lumpy

in here, Mr Brogan.

It's a good thing I found this.

It's gonna make your sofa

so much more comfortable to sit on.

Sh*t.

Mr Brogan,

I do believe you're f***ed.

Royally.

Sh*t.

Baby?

Are you OK?

Yeah. This'll be

the best night of my life.

Best night of my life.

I just... I've been waiting all day.

- I know. I know! I know...

- Do we get any time together?

Could you just talk to me?

We haven't been talking.

- This is our last night.

- No. It's not our last night.

My last night. Not your last night.

You got all kinds of nights.
