Donnie Brasco Page #10

You don't mention his name.

That's the rules.

-F*** the rules.

-That's the rules, Donnie.

Say his name.

-Come on.

-Say his name.

Come on. Nicky.

Say Nicky.

You can't say his name

because you know that I'm f***ing right.

Say it! Say Nicky!

Say his f***ing name!

Nicky was a rat because

Sonny Black says he was a rat.

Who the f*** am l?

Who am l?

I'm a spoke on a wheel.

And so was he, and so are you.

Quit riding the f***ing brake.

You the boss. You the boss, Boss.

-He looks good, huh?

-Sonny Black.

Congratulations, Sonny!

Boss!

-Sonny. Congratulations, Sonny.

-Congratulations.

-Oh, God!

-No, everything's okay, Maggie.

Yeah? If everything's okay,

what are you doing here?

Mind if we come inside, Mrs. Pistone?

I'm not sure. That depends.

At that point, he became hysterical.

As if the Bureau were responsible

for this audit.

-Whereas, well, self-evidently...

-Did you ever think of giving him a raise?

The only way to give him a raise

would be to upgrade him.

Yeah.

GS-14 is a supervisor, Maggie.

So he's a supervisor.

But he's undercover.

He's not supervising anyone.

The point is,

that's the last time we heard from him.

Standard procedure is that

he is to check in with us every day.

Maybe he might miss a day or two

here and there, but...

-lt was three weeks ago.

-I want you to tell me

where my husband is.

I demand that

you tell me where my husband is!

-We can't tell you because we don't know.

-lf he gets in touch with you,

you have got to try to talk sense into him.

Mrs. Pistone, please help us here.

-You want me to help you out?

-Yes.

You want me to help out the FBl

that used my husband and sucked him dry,

so that a bunch of supervisors

could become SACs

and prosecutors could become judges

and a**holes like you

could get promoted to GS-16?

Maggie, come on. You don't mean that.

Let me tell you something.

I hope he crossed over.

Mrs. Pistone, there is a war going on

in the Mafia family where Joe is undercover.

Three leaders of a rival faction

have been murdered.

He's right in the line of fire.

Not because he's one of us,

because he's one of them.

Who he's with and who he's close to,

they're all the top dogs now.

It's just not a problem we anticipated.

We have got to pull him out.

You have got to talk to him.

He'll listen to you.

You think so?

He was here a week ago.

He snuck into the house after I was asleep.

And he didn't even wake me up,

didn't even say hello to me.

He came to get his sport coat.

-Let's take a walk.

-All right.

Left, what are we doing?

We're gonna walk and talk.

We got too many eyes around here.

Here it is, Donnie.

Sonny Red's kid, Bruno. He's disappeared.

Now, as long as he's on the loose,

ain't none of us safe.

-Right?

-Yeah.

You got no idea where the guy is?

He's got a nickel-a-day coke habit.

He's gonna turn up somewhere.

Anyway, we got the contract.

Now, this thing gets done right,

when the books open up,

I'm proposing you for membership.

-You know what that means?

-Yeah.

Yeah? What?

-lt means I can't f*** it up.

-You read my mind.

-You read my mind. You can't f*** it up.

-No, I won't f*** it up.

You're gonna be a made guy, Donnie.

Capisce?

Yeah. All right.

Yeah. All right.

Come on. Let's go back inside!

-Left.

-Yeah, what?

What? I'm freezing here!

You know that boat you used to have,

that Bertram?

-Boat? What about it?

-Yeah, boat.

How much is it? A boat like that?

How much? What do you think?

You could get a sports fisherman

for maybe 300, used.

Why are you asking me

about boats, Donnie?

I was just wondering.

I was curious, you know.

-You're curious about boats?

-Yeah.

It's 10 degrees out here. I'm freezing.

You're asking me about boats,

after what we just said?

You losing your marbles on me or what?

-No, I'm all right.

-So don't ask questions like that.

-That's crazy, okay?

-Yeah.

You hit this cocksucker,

and you leave him in the street. Come on.

-You want to tell me what's going on?

-Nothing. Go back to bed.

I'm looking for something, all right?

I'll be right in.

That's not gonna work anymore.

Where is it?

There's $300,000 in that bag.

How do you know what's in that bag?

I counted it.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-You counted it?

-Yeah.

What do you mean, you counted it?

It's none of your business.

Not my business? It's in my house.

Who'd ever believe it wasn't my business?

I want that f***ing bag, Maggie.

FBl men do not walk around

with $300,000 in a bag.

-Joe, you could go to jail for this.

-Shut the f*** up. Nobody's going to jail.

Did you think about your children

for a second?

-You have no idea what you're talking about.

-I don't?

-The bag belongs to somebody else.

-Does it? Who?

-Whose bag is it, Joe?

-One of my best... Just some f***ed-up guy.

-A f***ed-up guy needs $300,000?

-Yeah, right. Where's the goddamn bag?

You're becoming like them, you know that?

Did you ever once ask yourself

how I make it through my days?

I pretend I'm a widow

with medals and scrapbooks and memories.

I pretend you're dead.

That's how my life makes sense to me.

Just go away. Stay away.

God, why do you hate me

when I love you so much?

You think I hate you?

I don't hate you.

This job is eating me alive.

I can't breathe anymore.

And if I come out, this guy Lefty dies.

They're gonna kill him,

because he vouched for me,

because he stood up for me.

I live with that every day.

That's the same thing as if I put the bullet

in his head myself, you understand?

I spent all these years

trying to be the good guy.

You know, the man in the white f***ing hat.

For what?

For nothing.

I'm not becoming like them, Maggie.

I am them.

Left? Donnie.

Donnie? Where you been?

Yeah, look...

-I gotta see you.

-You're right, you gotta see me.

-We found Sonny Red's kid.

-Bruno?

Yeah, he's on a boat on Staten Island.

-I'll pick you up.

-We don't have time, Donnie.

-You meet me there.

-Okay.

Bruno's here. He's down the end of the pier.

We'll wait here a minute

while he has his drink.

Let him get a little sleepy.

-I'm getting a little sleepy myself.

-How's his boat?

-The boat?

-Yeah.

Nice.

Forget about it. One thing I know is boats.

I'd like to pop him, throw him in the water,

take the f***ing boat.

Remember you said a couple of times

how if you had that Bertram again,

you'd drive down to the pier with Annette

and just go?

Remember you said that? North, south,

east, west, nobody'd ever find you.

That was before.

Don't remind me about that now.

-Yeah, but I'm just saying...

-I don't want to think about that.

Did you mean it?

Mean it?

Who am l? Rockefeller?

I'm gonna go buy a boat?

-I'm saying, what if, Left?

-What if.

What if...

I mean, I got a couple of things

going on the side. A couple of jewel things.

Maybe I could get that kind of money

for you.

You're gonna find money

for me to get a boat?

-Maybe.

-Yeah?

That would be real generous of you, Donnie.
