We went to war for you. The

Uncles wouldn't have done sh*t.

Listen, Yung, by tomorrow "Canton

Garden" gonna bring what they owe.

If they don't, we're going

back up there to get it.

Now, either you're with your

friends or you're with your Uncles.

That's how it is.

We're off the streets.

Nobody goes nowhere.

So I guess the greaseballs can

go on f***ing your sister.

You do what you want.

We're collecting on the "Garden".

Then that's it! You're being served.

Hey!

Are you crazy?

What are you doing here?

Looking for somebody.

How'd you find me?

Come on, everybody knows

where your brother lives.

Leave, go away.

I don't want any more trouble.

Hey, I ain't looking for trouble.

Name's Tony.

Tony Monte.

What's your name?

My friends call me Ty.

- Ty...

Please, someone's coming.

Now, I ain't leaving until you

agree to meet me somewhere else.

Alright, where?

Eh... 13th Street, the metro.

You know where that is?

- Fine.

- Tomorrow, 8 o'clock.

F***ing pouring, man. I'm soaked.

My towel...

You guys, eh...

Give me a minute, okay?

What's that about?

Look, Tyan, nobody's

looking to ruin your life.

You're my sister and I love you.

But you're my responsibility

and you have to do as you're told.

If you got hurt, if you get in trouble,

it's my fault.

You gotta look at

it from my side, too.

Come on, Yung. I can't sit

at home the rest of my life.

I wanna go out.

Well, just stay in the neighbourhood.

That's all I ask.

Why do I have to stay

in the neighbourhood?

There's a world

outside of Chinatown, too.

Think our parents would've liked it?

If I let you do whatever you want?

That's not what I'm asking.

I just wanna go out

and be like everybody else.

But you're not.

You're Chinese.

I know that.

Doesn't make me any different.

Ty, you've got

yellow skin and almond eyes.

You're nothing but a chink to them.

That's why we live in Chinatown.

It's no mistake.

That's the way they want it.

Trust me, I know how it is.

Come on, don't make me

worry about you.

Alright?

Okay...

Is he inside?

Yeah, but you wait here.

Wait here.

Let's talk, come on.

You know why I wanna talk to you?

- Yeah.

I want you to listen very

carefully to what I have to say.

This trouble isn't a concern of you.

I wanna resolve it, without your help.

What do you want me to do?

Let these bastards come into this

neighbourhood, like they own it?

- That'll be taken care of.

Yeah, but you taking care of the

situation don't help me. I mean,

how does that make me look?

- It's not your problem.

No, it is my problem.

I live here.

I'll take care of it.

You wanna be a wiseguy, Albert?

Well, maybe I ain't got no choice, eh?

The Chinese have paid

plenty for what they've got.

Don't confuse the issue.

Just walk away.

What happened? - I had to

wait for my brother to leave.

Come on, let's go.

F*** this son of a b*tch, Alby!

I don't know what's he talking about.

He's talking about his f***ing business.

- Yeah, I sh*t on his business.

How about that? You know,

Alby, we are gonna be selling

shrew toasts instead of calzones

here, if they get away with this.

Hm? He don't give a sh*t about us.

He don't give a sh*t for the block.

He is up in Staten Island waiting

for the next payoff. That's all.

Look, what the f*** do you

want me to do, huh?

Jesus Christ!

- Hey, look at this! Look, look...

Come on out!

Everybody hurry up!

Come to me. Come on!

Everybody out! Come on!

Down this way, come on!

I know you did it!

Animals!

Everything's ruined!

Look at it, look at it!

Everything's ruined!

Son of a b*tch!

I'll kill you!

Bastards! Animals!

Leave me alone!

Everything's ruined now...

What are you doing?

Alby, what are you doing?

- They wrecked the store.

- What are you talking about?

The f***ing Chinese

blew up half of the block tonight.

- So what are you gonna do?

- Mind your own business.

Don't f*** with the Chinese, Alby, they'll

f***ing kill you! - Get your hands of me!

- No! For Chirst's sake, let

Perito take care of it. - F*** Perito!

Alby... Alby!

You're f***ed up, you know that?

Get that f***ing cigarette

out of your mouth,

you a**hole. - Hey, I'll

f***ing kill you, motherf***er.

Come on!

You want me?

Come on!

Come on!

What do you got?! Come on!

- F*** you, f*** you!

- Come on!

Come on!

Cut him! Cut him in the face!

- Come on!

You don't listen!

I'll kick your

f***ing head! Come on!

Where's everybody going?!

Chinks f***ing cut me, Alby!

They cut me, they cut me...

F***!

Sh*t!

Come on!

Where are you, motherfuckers!?!

Johnny, don't!

- Motherfuckers!

Come on...

It's been an accident.

Let's take him to the f***ing hospital.

Just give me a f***ing drink...

What the f*** is this?

Who the heck do you think you are?

What are you, a f***ing wiseguy?

I'll teach you to be a f***ing wiseguy!

Come on, you wanna be a wiseguy?

What'd I tell ya?!

F***ing wiseguy!

You wanna be a f***ing wiseguy?

You go to Chinatown again,

and I swear on your mother...

...I'll cut your f***ing throat.

He knows what we want.

Get them the f*** out of here!

We must never allow

ourselves to be divided by war.

Or to be interfered with

by police investigations.

All because of few reckless children...

...cannot live within

the tradition of our society.

Our responsibility is

to control our children.

So you like to throw bombs, eh?

They're nice.

Thanks.

What's gonna happen

now if they find out about us?

They won't.

We just gotta be careful.

I'm scared for us, Tony.

Don't be scared.

We can't let

them ruin our lives, Ty.

Nothing matters but you and me.

Wish we would never had to go back.

This sign right here is crooked.

What's up with this tape right here?

Good feast, sure.

Yeah, sure. I gotta win one for you.

Hey, man of the hour. Where you've

been? Thought you'd never come back.

- Hey, Tony. - Hey, how're you doing?

- Haven't seen you

around here for a while.

Hey, Alby.

How are you feeling, man?

- Alright. Where've you been?

- Uptown.

- Yeah, doing what?

- Nothing.

Look at this, look at this.

With the lanterns. Look.

Whoa, they can't even

leave the Virgin Mary alone, Alby.

Look at this, they're selling Budhas

at a catholic feast.

Hey, mama-san! Papa-san!

You got any fish head soup over there?

Get your Budhas!

Hey, Budhas! What do you got,

little egg rolls over there?

They gonna do a good business.

You should be worried.

Hey, those chopsticks you bought me for

Christmas? Get 'em out now, I'm hungry.

Go ahead.

Hey, is that your daughter? Pretty girl.

Shut the f*** up, Mercury!

- What?

- You heard what I said.

Shut the f*** up.

Hey, you don't like it, you go over

there chinks' booth, how 'bout that?

They ain't chinks, they're people, man.

"They're people..."

Why don't you take a look and see

what them people did to your family store?

And what people did

this to my brother, eh?

Hey, Alby, what's this kid whacked on?

Somebody better talk to him.

Who? Somebody like you?
