bring each other misery and torment?

We both want what we want whenever

we want it, and we want everything.

- That doesn't sound too promising.

- That's what I'm saying.

- Then why did you come?

- Well, it wasn't caution.

- What about Joey A.?

- Does he bother you?

Is it your conscience or are you

worried about your business?

I haven't thought it through

that clearly.

If he knew I were here, he'd only

be thinking about who to kill first.

Do you want to kiss me

as much as I want to kiss you?

How do you know

I want to kiss you at all?

I really don't think we should

go through with this, do you?

Is that yes or no?

Both.

- You pack quite a punch.

- That was a slap.

If I'd punched you, you'd be

stretched out across the floor.

You're right about everything.

Right about the misery and torment.

I'm sure you're right

about what you want.

Do you always talk this much

before you do it?

I only talk this much

before I'm gonna kill someone.

Hey, Georgie boy.

Did you find Mickey Cohen yet?

Biltmore Health Club at one o'clock.

We meet him there.

Pick me up at noon. Good.

You still think we'll only bring

each other misery and torment?

With a few distractions in between.

You call what we've been doing

distractions?

- Thank you, the feeling's mutual.

- Good, that's the way I like it.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

- What time is it?

- One thirty.

The little schmuck

is half an hour late.

Who's a little schmuck?

Who are you referring to?

- You'd better show me some respect.

- You've got it backwards.

Unless your idea of showing

a man respect is to rob him.

Who said I robbed?

Everything I've got is mine.

- Yes, you stole it from me.

- What's mine is mine.

I understand from Jack Dragna

you stole 56,000 and change.

The lying fat f***!

It was 42, not 56.

- I thought you didn't steal it.

- If I had, it would have been 42.

If I were you, I'd give that money

back by seven o'clock tonight.

F*** you!

Look at me, f*** you!

If I was you, I'd shut

my f***ing mouth and watch my step.

- I could blow you away.

- Aren't we in a public place?

We'd both be better off

if you'd tone down your rhetoric.

We'd both be better off if

I never saw your f***ing face again.

- Don't laugh, this guy's deranged.

- Go get him back. Hurry up.

Jack... it's Ben.

The Cohen thing is under control.

Be at my house at 7:30 tonight.

How do you remember

all the f***ing lines from a movie?

Make it quick, will you?

I've got a hot date waiting for me.

- Are you making fun of me?

- You must have women lined up.

When I go out with a broad,

you can bet she'll be a star.

Betty Grable or Ava Gardner.

I don't go for them tarty broads.

- What tarty broads?

- That Shirley, Luciano's piece.

That nutty broad Joey A. Goes out

with, Victoria Hill. That blonde...

That's what she is. Joe Epstein,

the drummer Gene Krupa, -

- the bullfighter from Mexico...

This conversation is beneath me.

I'm expanding,

and if I'm going to expand, -

- should I expand with guys who got

taken, or the one who took them?

- What's in it for me?

- Money. $5,000 a week.

- Does that include a blow job?

- Watch your mouth, he'll plug you.

He can't. He needs me.

Ain't you been listening?

You're too busy learning lines from

those fairy acting jobs you do. Ten.

Okay, but I want the $42,000 you

stole back by seven o'clock tonight.

I put up my life and my liberty

on that f***ing score.

20. I wouldn't kick back

the whole 42 for my mother.

A penny less, we've got no deal.

- Krupa and a bullfighter?

- It ain't exactly confidential.

Krupa I know about...

and a couple of bullfighters.

- A couple of bullfighters?

- That's what I've heard.

She is who she is.

What man ever changed a woman?

I don't go by what other men have

done. I believe in fresh starts.

Without them you and me would have

been history before we were 19.

I hope you like scampi

served on a bed of soft brown rice.

Rimmed by carrots and peas.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Come on, eat.

It'll make you big and strong.

What do you think of bullfighting?

- It's a while since I tried it.

- What are your memories?

- Dangerous... and fun.

- What about drums?

- What about drums? I'm a singer.

- You ever sing with a drummer?

I've sung with all kinds of

musicians. Your dinner's going cold.

Did you think I was a virgin?

I just thought maybe there

was somebody you hadn't f***ed.

That's not pleasant.

Listen, we've both f***ed around.

You want to trade stories, fine.

We can also put the past behind us,

but don't play sulky little games.

If what we share isn't good enough,

then we should call it quits now.

- What'll it be?

- How about iodine?

You need soap and water. And wash

out your mouth, too. I'm going home.

Wait. Come here.

Let go of me.

I'm not staying here.

Get your hands off me, damn it!

Get off me.

I'm never coming back.

Benny.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- 42,000 on the nose.

- Thank you very much.

This is Virginia Hill.

Mickey Cohen.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

I've heard a lot about you.

- Can I come in?

- Could I take a rain check?

Not under the circumstances.

What happened to your head?

A vicious insect.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey, gumba, kiss my tukus!

F***ing Jew prick.

- Did you ever meet Jack Dragna?

- No.

I've got to speak to him alone.

Wait for me, please.

In there.

- The cocksucker dished it back.

- Every cent.

I'll be a son of a b*tch.

How did you get him to go along?

He brought me the money

and I gave him a job.

He'll be running my operation.

- That's my job.

- No, you work for him now.

- I'm missing something.

- Yeah, about $ 14,000 and change.

The 14,000 you stole from us,

after the 42 that Mickey took.

- Wait a minute...

- Do you want to f*** me?

- Of course not.

- You're sure? Do you wanna rape me?

- This is crazy.

- Answer me. Do not lie to me.

You stole from me.

Stealing is a form of rape.

Did you think you could get away

with stealing from me?

From Meyer Lansky,

Charlie Luciano and me?

That you could rape us

and humiliate us?

Did you think you could

get away with that? Don't lie!

Do not lie to me!

So you raped us even though

you thought we would catch you?

- It wasn't like that.

- What was it like? Answer me!

Did you think

you could get away with it or not?

- Did you?

- I won't ever do it again.

You won't do it again.

How do you know I won't kill you?

I'm begging you, Ben. Don't.

Do you want to kill me?

You want another chance?

I'll tell you something: You can't.

No one can. I can't kill me.

See. Now, try it.

Come on, give it to me.

What is it? Are you afraid to die?

Crawl.

Now, bark like the dog that you wish

you were decent enough to be.

Bark! Crawl and bark.

More, let me hear that bark.

Yes, that's good. More!

Oink like the treacherous,

devious pig that you are.

Come on, get around there.
