Blood Ties Page #3

That's what I know,

I wanna be with you.

I wanna be with you.

And I ain't gonna leave you again.

That's Vincent and Partenza.

They're working with Scarfo,

the one your brother put in

the joint. You know them?

I know him. I don't know them.

Guys from Philly.

They started up three, four years

ago, doing girls and scores.

We've become friendly.

They're prepping a job right now,

except they're having trouble

with some guys tipping the cops.

They need someone reliable, Chris.

I could introduce you.

No.

Understood. You change

your mind, you let me know.

It's your call.

Whoa, Monica, babe.

- You look gorgeous!

- Hey!

Old habits die hard.

I was in the neighborhood.

Oh, yeah?

You want a drink?

I'm with clients. Gotta go.

Take it easy.

You okay?

Well, I'm good.

It belongs to the city.

But it's got potential.

Just imagine, hot dogs,

french fries, drinks, huh?

I just don't wanna go into

this by myself, Chris.

So what do you say? You interested?

What, you want us to go

into business together?

Yeah!

I don't got a cent to my name.

We don't need much.

What do we need, huh?

A coat of paint?

Look, the deal is, the park

commissioner has to pick us. Right?

But Martin thinks that anybody

he recommends has a good shot.

Chris, this is something

we could call our own.

Mikey, we just been inside.

It's not our best

attribute, I know that.

But the mayor's looking for good

stories on his work release program.

So the redemption angle works.

Come on, give it a look.

I mean, look at this. It's

pretty much built for us.

I mean fix this up a

little, throw a nail here.

Paint it.

We change the sign, you

know, "Mike, Chris, Chris."

Whatever you want, or we

don't even have to change it.

Girl, I can understand

how it might be

Kinda hard to love a guy like me

I don't blame you much

for wanting to be free

I just wanted you to know

I love you better

than your own kin did

From the very start

It's my own fault for

what happens to my heart

How you going, you're good?

Yeah, I'm good. And you?

Good, good. Couldn't be better.

I love this song. You know it?

No.

How the f*** would I know it?

Yeah. Hey, look.

I'm, um...

I'm sorry that I... I... That I

stopped coming to visit you.

Just, you know...

You know there was all the sh*t

that went down and I knew that...

You having a cop brother was

going to be tough on the inside.

Oh, so you did it for me.

Not one visit in nine f***ing years

but you did it for me? F*** you!

Listen to me, I didn't do

anything that I... that I...

Don't worry about it.

Life goes on.

Now you must do what you gotta do

He's living with you, isn't he?

I'm not sure that's such

a good idea, Frank.

What, is this your personal opinion,

or is this coming from higher up?

Well your brother has a very loud

reputation, you know, so people talk.

A man's allowed to help

his... family, isn't he?

Frank.

I'm not gonna turn my back on

him just because I'm a cop.

You know, I mean he's

trying to get his life

- in order again...

- I'm not asking you to do that.

What are you asking me then?

I'm just asking you to

be careful, that's all.

All right? You just do what you

think is right. But be careful.

Oh, f***...

Hey, is this the guy?

All right, lose the hat.

Sorry I'm late. Hey, Mike!

How are you?

Mister Herley. Hey, wow!

Mike you really did it, huh?

Jeez.

Well...

Well, great! Great job!

Now, I know what I said, Mike,

but unfortunately there's nothing

written down, right? So...

How... How can you say that?

I mean, just like that?

I'm sorry.

If it was up to me, you'd get it,

I mean, I gave you my full support.

So what's the problem?

Well, the mayor's been getting

these anonymous letters.

You know, and some of

his people have too,

and, you know, they're

not too happy about it.

Wait, wait. You knew about our records,

so did the commissioner, right?

Yeah, right. But, this guy,

you know, he's gonna make

a stink with the whole city.

So, I mean, what do

you want with me?

- You said it was as good as done!

- Yeah.

- That's what you said! Right?

- Right! I did.

And, and I said I'm sorry!

And I am very sorry.

But, you know, we got

an election comin' up

and, the mayor, he's just...

I mean it's just too risky!

Who sent the letters, do you know?

There's no point even telling you.

But if it's any consolation, Mike, that

guy's not gonna get the bid either...

- I don't f***ing care about that!

- Mike.

What I care about is you

keeping your f***in' word!

- You f***ing weasel!

- Don't touch me.

Do not ever touch me again!

You guys, now you're in real...

Now you're in real trouble!

This is... Now you're in...

You're in such trouble!

- F***ing weasel!

- F*** you!

F*** you!

You are f***ed!

If I f***in' had a gun... F***!

- Prick!

- F***!

What is this?

You're f***ing serious?

I don't have a choice.

You're coming after

me with a judge now?

You owe me, Chris.

10 years of child support.

I was in f***ing jail!

What do you think you're

gonna get outta me?

I hear you're starting a

business with your friend.

Yeah, well that just

went up in smoke.

I know you inside and out, Chris.

You make promises and

then you break 'em.

I'm telling you, I'm not

gonna let this drop,

because there are a lotta things.

Things even money can't undo.

What do you want from me?

What do you expect me to do?

I don't have anything.

You know, my brother has

to lend me a f***ing room.

I'm at the end of my f***ing

rope, you know that.

Oh, yeah. Poor thing!

Oh, it's been so difficult for you.

Nobody is helping you.

And you wanna change.

Yeah, you wanna be a nice guy now.

Don't give me that sh*t, right, you

can't change, you're trash to the core.

You shut your f***ing mouth!

Go to your room, honey, okay?

Word is you found yourself

a nice young thing.

Why don't you pimp her?

Huh? You out of practice?

Oh, she too good for that, right?

Me, am I too good for that?

You shut your f***in' mouth!

You wanna know something?

Your new one, she'll

be hooking soon...

See?

- I know you real well.

- Yeah, I know you too.

You just want that money to

sniff it up your f***in' nose!

No one's telling you to go on

whoring. So stop judging me!

Hey, what's the matter?

I think it's better we

stop seeing each other.

- What did I do?

- You didn't do anything.

This f***in' pisses me off.

It pisses me off to have

to do these shitty jobs.

Pisses me off to see you

at that f***ing desk.

And all this being with you like this,

without money, without anything.

It f***in' pisses me off.

Can't you see I don't give

a sh*t about any of this?

I mean do you really think

that I care about money?

Is that how you really see me?

Come on, Chris, I just wanna be

with you, that's all that matters.

I don't care if you bring me stuff.

It's better this way, believe me.

Yeah, give me a beer,

please. A Miller.

What'll you have?

So, the situation here is

we've got two crews
