Come on!
You boys lost?
- Friends of yours, Tony?
Open it.
Come on, motherf***er.
I'm telling you, Ty.
We gotta go back there tonight.
Yea? How am I
supposed to do that?
Tell your bud to go to hell. If he
don't like it, you can stay with me.
What if this guy
doesn't even like me?
Stop f***ing around, go for it.
Tsingtao?
She just danced with
some guy, yo. It's no big deal.
Who asked you? - Come on, man.
What you want her to do?
You want her to stay home every night?
Well, she will. Unless she
learns who to hang around with.
I still don't know what I
did that was so wrong.
You wanna socialize?
Stay in this neighbourhood.
Yeah, and what if there's no one
I like in the neighbourhood? - Why?
'Cause they're all Chinese?
Why don't you just mind
your own business.
This has nothing to do with you.
- That's a load of sh*t.
We're Chinese, Tyan,
that's how it is.
Can't stay in Chinatown,
you stay home.
Your supper's ready.
She's right, you know. She
didn't do anything wrong.
She's my sister. I'll decide
what's right or wrong for her.
Why don't you just leave her alone?
- Cause she's my friend.
Well she don't need
friends like you.
You're half the problem of all
those bullshit anyway.
I can take care of her by myself.
I don't need your help.
This ain't China, yo.
We'll see you later, Ty.
That's what America does to them.
So? What are you gonna
do about the "Canton Garden"?
Nothing. It don't
belong to us anymore.
Bullshit. That store's mine, man.
We don't do bussiness
in Little Italy, Tsu.
(speaking Chinese)
I don't care.
I don't want no trouble.
I've got enough as it is.
You worry too much, man.
You gotta relax... This is business.
I know what it is, just forget it.
You stay out of there.
Leave that store alone.
So what'd that knucklehead say?
Look, the kid had no bussiness
being down there to begin with,
you know what I mean?
- Yeah, but he knows this.
He gotta be told this.
You must spit on my f***ing shoe.
Oh, they are from Flatfish, right?
- Hi, how are you doing?
Oh, look at this, look at this.
- Grand opening.
Grand-gook-opening.
What does this mean?
There's a whole bunch of them.
Hey, smile pretty.
Hey, Romeo, what's that on your face?
Sh*t, it's too hard for you, Mercury.
Eh, you look good with
that coltex on your nose.
Why don't you run across the street
and get the fish out to take your picture.
I'll tell you now, Tony... I catch you in
that f***ing neighbourhood again
I swear to Christ I'm gonna smack the
sh*t outta ya, you understand me?
- Told you, I wasn't in that neighbourhood.
That was wrong. How many times I gotta
tell you to stay away from these people?
People? They don't even look human.
Look at them. Did you ever seen
one without a camera in his hand?
Did you ever noticed that they're
squinting even when it's cloudy?
Thank God I ain't stupid...
Hey, Alby, look...all the
dough is ready for tonight.
Can I get out of here?
What's the big hurry?
Eh, I made plans. I wanna go out.
Come on.
Where you going?
I don' know, maybe
I'll go to Rosetta.
Did you bring those
cases up from the basement?
Yeah, don't worry about it. Look,
can I go? Nicky'll take over for me.
Go ahead.
Come over here.
You do what I tell you, understand?
Go ahead, get lost.
Sound like p*ssy to me.
Hey, where you going, Rosetta's?
Don't I get a kiss? Hey!
What's up, Joe? How's it going?
Hey Tony, I got something for ya.
Where's Alby?
He's working.
Is that Tony?
- Yeah, it's me, mom.
How did things go at work today?
Alright, not bad.
Hey, don't eat a lot of bread,
you'll ruin your appetite.
Ma, did I get any phone calls today?
- No, not today.
Where'd you get the pretty flower?
Rosy gave it to me.
What, ma? - Let me see your nose.
- It's alright.
You're supposed to
change that band-aid.
All right, I'll do it, I'll do it.
- Go change it now.
Ma, where are the band-aids?
I don't know.
Where'd you leave 'em?
Another greaseball.
Where's Yung?
He's afraid to cross the border.
He's afraid of the old man.
What about you?
I don't take orders from nobody.
What do you want here?
- You know what we want.
You making mistake. I have
Just 'cause you moved two blocks
don't mean sh*t.
You're Chinese, your store's Chinese.
And you pay us for protection.
I have no more money.
I pay for everything.
The Chinese do business
with the Chinese.
(speaking Chinese)
You got it?
That's all he's got, man.
You bring us the rest by tomorrow.
Let's go.
Hundred, hundred-fifthy...That's why
we went there for? That's all we get?
What about the money?
- I'll pick it up tomorrow.
What about Yung?
F*** Yung.
F*** that.
He don't even f***ing care...
F***ing greaseball!
If you'd like a coctail before dinner,
waiter from the bar will take your order.
Enjoy your meal.
20 years ago the Italians
own 40 blocks north of Chinatown.
Now they own three.
Five years from now, you'll
have to go to Brooklyn to get a pizza.
Yung-kan... we have
high hopes for you.
But you must learn
what it means to be a real Chung-tzu.
A gentleman of the people.
Our relationship with the
Italians is of mutual benefit to everyone.
It is good for the neighbourhood.
And a real Chung-tzu does
only what is good for his people.
Peace is good for his people.
Obedience is good for his people.
Bloodshed is bad for his people.
It's simple.
You understand?
In other words,
either you control your friends...
...or we will.
Hey, there's your date.
Yeah, that's terrifing.
Somebody should lift up their
skirt and send him to the hospital.
Come on, man, what's going on?
Forget about it, I'm not going.
What's there to be worried about?
We'll just tell your brother
we went out to play mahjong.
Thanks, you guys
are of lot of help.
Then tell him the truth. I mean, he
has no right to make you stay home.
Last chance...
Nah, you guys go ahead.
I'll talk to you later.
If we see you know who we'll tell him
you've got an a**hole for a brother.
I'll call you if I see him there.
Hey, what's going on? You guys
having a party without me, man?
Yeah, something like that.
Who's coming?
Hey, Tsu.
You know the rules. No one
moves north of Canal Street, nobody.
It's all Chinatown anyway.
And Chinatown is ours.
Nothing is ours until it's given.
Yeah, but the stores here
belong to the triads.
The stores out there
belong to the Italians.
And there ain't nothing for us.
What are we supposed to do?
Hey, just wait alright.
The old man knows we're here.
I'm sick of stinking
like fish all day, now.
You're the one the old man's
gonna name, not us.
He don't even know we're alive.
What can we expect? You're a Dai-lo.
You gotta take care of us.
The old man'll kill anybody that
moves without his OK, me included.
To hell with the old man.
I eat rice while he
dines a f***ing duck?
He ain't a problem, you're the problem.
