Please, leave me alone.
Don't arrest me."
He got sent upstate to Shirley for,
I think, two years or something.
I haven't talked to him.
It's crazy how you can be
best friends with someone
and then five minutes later
you're f***ing enemies. Right?
It's crazy because...
What the f***, George?
- Nicky, are you serious?
- Get down on the floor.
F***, Nicky.
You heard the man.
On the floor.
Victor, you know I'll do it.
Get the f*** down.
What are you doing?
What the f***, man?
Jesus Christ.
I thought we were friends,
Georgie.
I been setting this up
since I've known you.
George, we met two years ago.
Exactly.
He's good, huh?
F***!
F*** you!
You f***ers!
Cocksucker.
It's f***ing frozen.
Guess I know
where he hides it.
Hey, Nicky.
When are you gonna take me out
and do something?
How old are you?
Hold on, Nicky.
Melissa, I don't pay
you to talk. All right?
Go get dressed.
We open in an hour.
You hire relatives, that's what you get.
All they wanna do is chit-chat.
She's a good kid.
I'll see you.
Whoa, Nicky. Where are you going?
What's your rush?
I got to go. I'm late for Sal.
I'll talk to you later.
Sal and Jerry were in here last night.
The place was packed.
Yeah. Yeah, I noticed.
You're doing real well for yourself.
On that note, um, I hate
to bother you with this,
but do you have
that grand you owe me?
I'm sorry, Michael,
I don't have it.
Things been pretty slow.
You know?
Slow. Yeah, I hear you.
You know, if you want,
I can get you a job down at the deli
or I can give you a couple of
hours over here in the kitchen.
You could pay me back,
work it off.
Don't bust my balls,
all right?
I ain't that guy.
You ain't that guy?
I ain't that guy.
Which guy?
The guy who doesn't pay?
The guy who doesn't work?
Or are you the guy
that wants to make trouble?
Do me a favor, Nicky.
Give me the money
when you have it, please?
And say hi to Sal for me.
You got it.
- Thank you, Nick.
- Thank you.
- All right.
- All right.
Hey. Nicky, how are you?
I'm here to see Sal.
Oh, yeah.
You got an address.
Now, take care of it.
You got to know,
there's a guy on that paper,
ain't gonna show up
nowhere never again.
Capisce?
Yeah.
Get this shifted.
Just move the boxes onto the trolley there.
All the boxes. Okay?
Hey, Nicky.
When you're young,
you got options.
Later on, you don't.
Enjoy the sunshine, Nicky.
What's going on with my
chatty friend over there?
I never heard you so quiet.
You want some air or something?
You want me to roll the window down?
Yeah.
You know, you don't have to
do this if you don't want to.
We can go get
something to eat.
The first one is hard.
After that, it's...
I'm just leaving
I'll be home in
about a half an hour.
I love you, too.
Excuse me.
Easy.
Easy.
Good to see you.
- Sal.
- Nick.
A big day for you.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
In honor of the family,
the family is open.
...want to enter
into this organization...
...to protect
my family...
...and to protect my friends.
Our thing you
wish to be a part of,
it's a wonderful thing.
The greatest thing in the world.
Do you feel this way as well?
Yes, I do.
And wish to be a part of it
for the rest of your life?
Yes.
You agree
to be a soldier,
follow the rules and
obey our code of omerta
until your dying breath?
Yes.
Jerry, will you be
Niccolo's compare?
Proud of you.
As this saint burns,
so will my soul burn.
I live and die
by the gun and the knife.
secrets of this thing that we have
and to obey with
love and omerta
the Sicilian code of silence.
This family,
we help each other
because our people
became outlaws.
What took place here today,
only the Ghost knows, by God.
He who is blind,
deaf and mute lives 100 years of happiness.
Which finger do you use
to pull the trigger?
Mr. C.
Hey, Nicky.
Thank you for seeing me, sir.
Hey. My pleasure.
Got those credit card numbers
we talked about?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, I wanted to tell you,
it was a stroke of genius.
Coming up with this idea.
- You want a drink?
- Sure.
Mikey,
get him a drink, please.
These numbers ain't never been run by you,
right?
No. That's the way
you wanted it, right?
Yeah, that's the way I wanted it,
but you had these over a month, right?
Nicky,
I double-check 'em myself.
If I say they're over a month,
you can go to bet on it.
I'll see you next time.
- Thank you, Mr. C.
- Okay.
Nicky.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Don't forget, you're in to
Michael for a grand, too, right?
- Oh, that f***ing prick.
- You owe a lot of people money, man.
- F*** that cocksucker.
- You gotta chill with that sh*t.
I work in his f***ing deli, my ass.
What a b*tch.
So go get him.
He knows everybody by name.
He knows everybody in the neighborhood.
He'll go crying to Sal
like a big f***ing baby.
So what? You're a made guy.
This guy's a f***ing blowj*b.
What am I missing?
Oh, yeah.
Listen, no more free ziti with
meatballs and Italian subs. All right?
What's going on here?
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
The problem is you've opened four of
these stores in the last three years.
How much money can you really be making
selling f***ing mortadella and prosciutto?
- Seriously? You're serious.
- What else are you doing?
Why are you asking
all these questions?
You're driving around
in a brand new Mercedes.
You wouldn't f***ing
lie to me, would you?
I see.
You got your button now. You bring
your baby gorilla here to scare me?
You know what? Why don't you tell Jerry to
give me a call. We'll settle this, okay?
Hey, wait. That's not...
That's not how it's gonna go.
That's no way to talk to me.
You're a gangster now?
No disrespect,
Nick, but f*** you.
I ain't paying you sh*t.
Shh, shh, shh.
All right?
How many accounts
receivable you got?
How many people
haven't paid you?
- You're asking me this?
- I'm asking you.
Ten, 20, too many.
Stand up.
Come on, get up.
Stand up.
Listen to me. All right?
Listen to what this is.
I take care of you.
You take care of me.
Anybody who don't take care of you
is also not taking care of me.
I gave your brother Vito
a job when he was a little kid.
And now it's
time to repay the favor.
Yeah, let's go take
a look at your books.
I'm gonna take care of
everything, all right?
What are you
It's 32 grand in there.
I got 12 coming in from
Freddy Charles in Lynn.
Also, you know, Tony's running
them Slavic girls on the side.
Don't worry about Tony.
Don't worry about Tony.
And don't worry about his daughter either.
Call isuckcock.com
if you get lonely.
No, you can't call them.
The Feds know about that, too.
What?
- Suckcock.com?
- Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What the f*** do you want?
We, uh...
We heard you been running
Ukrainian girls out of here.
