Well, Mike killed Jimmy

to go back in and rob Empire again.

- What, are you f***ing crazy?

Jimmy had nothing to do

- It was a f***ing coincidence.

- I know. You know what?

It's too late.

Killed him, so.

What the f***'s Spiro gonna do when

he finds out about this?

You know he's gonna

f***ing kill us, right?

That's why I say

for ourselves before Mike,

- before him, before anybody else does.

- What?

Are you f***ing crazy?

- No.

- They're not gonna leave the money

- So we go inside and get it!

Just f***ing forget it.

So why am I even talking?

I'm not even... I'm not...

Cops won't expect it.

Nobody will.

Shut your f***ing mouth.

Will you please shut your f***ing mouth?

- I'm doing it with or without you.

- Oh really?

- You gonna do it without me?

- Yeah yeah, really.

And when I get there, you can call

the cops, you can f***ing shoot me

or you can say "F*** yeah, Eddie,

I'm with you." But you know what?

I'm doing it.

And I'm not doing this sh*t any more,
