Whatever I say?
Whatever I say.
I say
you're a dirt bag.
That's what I say.
What do you say?
- I say you're right.
- You're right I'm right.
Say, aren't you here
to get down on your knees
and suck my dick?
Is that right?
I'm just kidding.
Not really.
I'm here because you and I,
we got mutual friends.
And out of respect for those friends,
I've come here to apologize.
So there you go.
There you go.
Okay, pretty boy. One...
We don't have mutual friends.
You, you're just a wannabe
punk for Salvatore Vitaglia.
You don't got your button,
so quit pretending.
Not yet.
Not... Not yet?
I think I heard the sound of a
little piece of sh*t talking to me
without a sincere apology.
Sincere... You hear
a sincere apology, Joe?
This is Joe.
Joe don't talk much,
except with his eyeballs.
What his eyeballs say,
blow your mind.
You ever have your mind blown, Nick?
Ever?
Look, Tony, I come here to
apologize to you. All right?
What else do you want from me?
You know,
I like cocaine very much.
I like ladies with big tits
rubbing them all in my face.
I like Italian cars.
I like Irish whiskey.
I like things all men like
but are afraid to admit to
their girlfriend or their wife
for fear she'll make
him sleep on the couch.
I like the couch.
It's relaxing.
I don't need a man cave
in the basement
with flat screen TV,
video game,
hiding out like
some f***ing mouse.
I don't need a f***ing man cave
because the whole f***ing world,
that's my man cave.
You have a man cave, Nick?
No.
Nick, come here.
Come on, come on.
Just come on.
I want you to tell me
what you think of me.
The truth. You seem like a guy
who tells the truth. Come on.
Come on, Nick. Blow my mind.
The truth?
I think...
I think today if you're
rich and you're Italian,
that makes you a gangster.
Like on some TV show.
What?
You mean, I'm a TV show?
I'm a TV show?
I'm a TV show?
Apologize for insulting me,
you f***ing a**hole!
Mr. Matazano, I am sincerely
sorry for acting so out of line.
I meant you no disrespect.
Please accept my
sincerest apology.
Get out of here. Go on.
You tell that dipshit
mongoloid cousin of yours,
if he fucks with my daughter again,
I'll rip his f***ing throat out.
You... Hey! I f***ing
saw that, cocksucker!
All right, let's go! Let's go!
Start the f***ing car, George!
- Come on, George!
- What?
We gotta f***ing go!
What the f*** is
the matter with you?
They're right behind me. Can we go?
- Who them? Man, I'm f***ing...
- Drive the f***ing car! Do your f***ing job!
When you f***ing bug out...
F*** you!
Why are we stopped?
Swear to God, George.
Why are we f***ing stopped?
You know, Nicky,
you're the only guy I know
who goes into a titty bar
to suck a f***ing cock.
What? You think that
I wanted to go do that?
I had to, all right?
You didn't have to.
You f***ing chose to.
Look, you wanna be
a part of that whole thing
and eat a plate of sh*t every time
these guys f***ing serve it up to you?
Go right ahead.
Just don't expect me to be sitting there
with a fork and knife next to you.
And I'll tell
you another thing.
If that f*** crosses me again,
- I'll f***ing bury him.
- All right, all right, all right.
- F***ing apple face.
- All right, all right.
Look, I know. All right?
But don't worry about it.
Sal's gonna make...
Sal's gonna what?
Is that your new mantra?
"Sal's gonna"?
You know, I don't gotta join a
club to know who my friends are.
It's not about
f***ing friends.
It's about business.
All right?
No, it's about
business with me.
With you, who knows
what the f*** it's about?
You got all these f***ing big ideas.
You know what I got?
I got little ideas.
And they keep me
fed and not dead.
Can you please get me
the f*** out of here?
Hey.
Ali here?
What can I get for you?
Let me get a whiskey sour.
$6.
Keep the change.
You Ali?
Who's asking?
I'm Nick.
Okay. What's up?
I heard from your father there was
some kind of problem with my cousin
at the hair salon you
were at the other day.
I'm here to apologize for him.
You're apologizing for him?
Well, I don't have
a problem with you.
It's your little sh*t cousin
that called me a c*nt.
And who cares, anyway?
I care.
The person I
work for, he cares.
It was an insult to
you and to your father.
I'd like to try
to make amends.
My father's insultable.
What are these?
They're for you.
They're flowers.
What am I
supposed to do with them?
I don't know.
Put them in water.
Wait. Look. Okay.
I know there are
better flowers.
Oh, really?
Why didn't you bring them, then?
Next time.
Next time.
What was your name again?
Nick. Nick Tortano.
Okay, Niccolo.
You go back and you tell your
boss that everything's fine.
You'll live to
see another day.
Whoa, whoa... Just...
Hang on. Hang on.
You gotta let me
do this the right way.
Miss Matazano,
I am sincerely sorry my cousin was
acting so disrespectful and out of line.
It was
completely inappropriate.
I hope you can accept
my sincerest apology.
Okay.
Thank you.
That was really nice.
And thank you for the flowers.
Hey.
You wanna go out with me?
Not in a million years.
What's up, brother?
I thought you
were coming alone.
You gonna bust my balls?
I'm not allowed to have
a friend in the world?
It's me. Let me in, Victor.
All right, come in.
F***ing a**hole.
Victor, you know Nick? No?
Yeah, yeah,
we met a couple of times.
- How you been?
- Good.
Yeah?
You wanna line of coke?
No, thanks, I'm good.
Are you sure?
This sh*t's cut
with creatine, man. It's fire.
Well, if you don't mind,
I'm gonna do a line.
Ooh.
Hey, Victor, where's Blackie?
He don't live with you no more?
What was that? Huh?
I said, where's Blackie?
He don't live with you no more?
No, no. Not since
he got sent upstate.
It's all right, though.
He's too into himself,
you know what I mean?
A real narcissist.
I can't be surrounding myself
with people like that anymore.
F***! Where are my manners?
Do you guys want a beverage or something?
I'm good, I'm good. Thanks.
But Blackie, you should've
seen him when he got arrested.
The f***ing guy started
crying like a little b*tch.
F***ing idiot.
Now, he's in the union.
F***ing union job.
Who wouldn't want a union job?
Like I don't want a union job?
I'd love a union job.
Making 1,800 a week.
I'd never f*** that up.
He's full of it.
Always talking big talk.
I f***ing... I never understand
guys like that, you know?
They go on and on and on
about nothing at all.
It's crazy.
He's in the union.
Sh*t don't make no sense.
What am I doing?
It's all good, right?
Of course it's good.
Of course this sh*t's good.
I know it's all here.
I'll be right back.
You know what else?
Like, what's he thinking?
The cops ain't gonna f***ing bust him
'cause he's banging hammers
and pounding nails and f***ing running
wires on the weekends?
F***ing crazy.
Like,
"Oh, I got a W-2, Officer.
