"we will get to do all the hiring, right?"

Yeah right

"Alright, I'll meet you downstairs when

you are finished with this stuff"

Say what?

Steve doesn't want me to do anymore

of the bussing or anything

Are you for real?

What?

You're getting so conceited. It's like

don't know who I'm talking to anymore

"What is your problem, man?"

"You pour drinks,"

you hang out with some high-class

stuck up a**holes...

"... and suddenly you are some big star,"

you can't get your hands dirty

"Look at you, dealing more drugs than

"Johnson & Johnson"

Hey that money is for Anita's studio

You know that

"Oh, I see"

"You know what, Shane, your head is

filled up with so much sh*t,"

you don't even know what you are

talking about

"Hey, Greg, cool it man. I'm your friend"

"Yeah, friend, who is trying to

scope my wife"

What the hell are you talking about?

She is the only girl this side of

Fifth Avenue you haven't balled

You don't know what you're talking about

"F*** you, Shane 54"

Come on

Lay off!

Lets get out of here

Sit on it!

F*** off!

I'm not your slave!

"You know, I told him before

we got married"

I told him what the deal was

"I said, I love you but need to be free,"

I need to have fun

"You know maybe not forever, but for now!"

"And he said, okay, okay. You know,

whatever you need"

I want you to be free

My ass!

"I could f***ing kill him, when he

gets like that!"

What's wrong?

"Shane, Shane stop!"

"Shane, he is there"

Let him watch

This is bad for him

"The Dow Jones Industrial continued

its slide today,"

bringing the two day drop to forty

points. The news from Washington today

"Where you been, turkey!"

"Great to see you, Gracie!"

Are those for us?

Whoa! Tinsel teeth

"Thanks to you, I shouldn't have

taken your money"

"Lets go in, I'm freezing"

"Whoa, nice car. Is it yours?"

"I'm famous, you know"

"Yeah I know, we saw you,"

"in the paper, dancing with some old lady"

And I read that Princess Grace

showed up there too

Did you tell her about us?

I was off that night

"Come on, I'm starved"

"Why don't we go for a ride,"

I mean no one is home anyway

What?

They went to Aunt Mary's

Ricko's aunt got into the studio

one night

And she told us...

she saw you putting something

up your nose

She is such a liar

"Hey, maybe you can come in

I'll try to talk him into it"

No thanks!

"Don't make them right about you, Shane"

"There is nothing wrong with this stuff,

Gracie"

"He drinks,"

it is the same thing

Good. I want to try one of these

"In the morning, I went to breakfast

at the Alpine Inn,"

"like we used to, the day after Christmas

when mom was alive"

"Could I get a cappuccino, please?"

Excuse me?

Wrong side of the river!

Hey...

Hi

"I'm Shane, we met at the... "

"Yeah, I know who you are"

Would you mind? Could I...

Sure

What are you doing out here?

Spending the week with my parents

You look like you crawled out

from under a rock

Well it hasn't been the

greatest homecoming

I see

"Hey waitress, two cups of coffee, please"

When in Rome...

"It is a whole other world, huh!"

"You will learn. Two languages,"

"two sets of clothes, two sets of friends"

You kept your friends out here

"Well no, actually the clothes were

a lot easier"

"It is insane, isn't it?"

"I mean, Manhattan is a whole

other problem,"

"it is up one minute, down the next"

"Story of my life, one thousand percent"

Two thousand percent

"You know, I have had so much coffee,

I'm realy to take flight"

Bird of Paradise

Hold on...

So you remember today

Thank you

Whoa

Who would have thought!

What?

That you were so sweet

"You got to tell us what we want to

hear about him,"

or we are going to nail you

We are talking a audit that goes

all the way back

"And my friend, we find something

we don't like,"

"and believe me, we will"

"Guess what, your house, is gone

Your car, is gone"

You... are seriously gone

I'm talking 10 to 20 years

"You want to investigate, go ahead"

"My car, not in my name. My house,

not in my name"

"My back account, don't have one"

"You know what I got, Agates"

What about the drugs?

Were they in your name?

The were in the glove compartment

Yes!

"Wow, you are good"

"Four brothers, and I never lost a game"

Oh really. I have been meaning to

tell you something

It is sort of embarrassing

"You can tell me,"

...what are you talking about?

After I saw that picture of you

in that gossip column

"It was, you know, inspiring"

What?

"I mean it, just to see someone else,"

...from Jersey who made it

Made it? You are kidding right

I'm on Soap

Right

Wrong. Soap work is the pits

"Why do you think I'm at "54"

every night?"

I don't know

Maybe to meet somebody interesting?

Exactly

"In this business it is all about

who you know. And since,"

"I'm going to get a movie or die trying,"

"... there is no place better than "54"

"One big bender, with business cards"

"See the thing is, if you meet the right

producer like Ron Sax for instance,"

You got it made

"I mean, he has his hands in everything"

"Music, movies, clubs"

Right. But you don't need that

"Shane, come on,"

"you are a "54" bartender"

You know how things work

You know what this is all about

You have had to maneuver

"Sometimes you use your charms,"

...sometimes other things

Okay you got me

This place is really great

You can actually see people here

You are so cute

Starting the decade with

the perfect kiss

What could be better than that?

Picking up that 7-10 split

"Oh yeah, I'm going to do it first"

"No, you are not! It is mine"

"Forget it, come on, give me that ball"

Opps

"Yeah of course, you are on the list"

Okay

What is this?

It is the missing money. I took it

What money?

You know... Anthony's money

Oh that is adorable!

"Now Greg is very lucky,"

to have a friend like you to

cover for him

You knew?

Yeah. You know I see everything

that goes on here

"You don't think that I'm watching,"

...but I am

He would have never touched that money

if he had been made a bartender

in the first place

He is really a great guy Steve

He thought he would be a busboy for

the rest of his life

Yeah I'm sure
