with a great view.

Come with me.

It's not exactly

Mulholland Drive, but...

It'll do.

#oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he

speaks the languages of love#

#Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, amore, Chiamami#

#Chiamami#

#Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

appelle-moi mon cherie#

#Appelle-moi#

Did you get her number

after that, or what?

What do you think?

I think you're turning

romantic on me.

Ah, look who's talking.

All right, brother.

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Ah-ah!

You're going down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You... down.

I felt like the luckiest guy in town.

Business was great,

my best friend was my partner,

and I just met the prettiest

girl I'd ever seen.

The American dream was so

close, I could taste it.

But, like I said,

one wrong turn can

change everything.

Micky Levine...

He was the perfect gangster.

Ruthless and without remorse.

Micky's Flunky, Vince,

handled the business with some

south-of-the-border help.

He wanted everything

the boss had and more.

#It's time you got to win#

#Lonely, lonely, lonely#

Any problems?

- No.

#Your spirit's sinking' down#

#You find you're not the only#

What?

#Stranger in this town#

When do you want to do this?

When do I want to do it?

Now.

Now. Does now sound good?

Sounds good to me.

Maybe f***ing Christmas. Moron.

#Headlines, deadlines

jamming your mind#

Nancy!

Nancy!

#You been stealing

shots from the side#

#Let your feelings go

for a ride#

Half naked all the time.

Can't you put something on?

I liked it. You liked it?

I did, but it's kind of weird, though.

I mean, would you do that?

Do what?

You know, go with an

older woman for money,

Uh, depends.

How much money we

talking about?

You look good tonight.

Thank you.

No problem.

You, too.

Thank you.

Nice building.

Ow!

Whoa!

Did it hurt?

No. In fact, it didn't hurt at all.

So, what, you were just faking?

No I...

I just...

You know, when I was

a little girl,

My Mom say I always

pretend I got hurt

when I fell down,

but that was more because

I was embarrassed.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense all right.

If you're a big faker.

Come on, you faker, hop on.

#Oh, I could hide 'neath the winds#

I like this song.

#Of the bluebird as she sings#

It's an enjoyable tune.

Makes me feel good.

How about you?

Definitely, Boss.

"Definitely, Boss. "

Well, that's convincing.

You're overwhelmed.

See, it reminds me of when

I was, like, 15, 16,

and I was making out with this girl.

She was beautiful. uh, she was

a mulatto, you know, and, uh...

I think they call those "N*ggers. "

She was half-black,

but the point was she had the

cutest, tightest, little ass.

And you could bounce quarters off it.

You know?

I mean, that's not actually what I did.

It's an expression.

Hey, wait, wait.

That Billy?

Go get him.

Yeah, that's him.

Billy was a low-level dealer

who owed Mickey little

more than pocket change.

But if there was one thing

Micky could never resist.

It was making a grown man cry.

And he didn't mind getting

his hands dirty either.

In fact, he kind of liked it.

Shut the f*** up!

Shut up!

Oh, sh*t.

LOOK WHAT THIS A**HOLE DID.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here, you little piss-ant.

Do you see what you did?

I see.

Can you see that?

Yeah.

You dented my car.

You dented my car.

I'm sorry.

You stupid f***.

What did you make me do?

I am so pissed at you.

I'll get you your money. I promise.

I know, I understand.

Aah!

Aah!

Stupid f***.

You got two days, fuckhead.

Micky's dented fender

made its way to me

after he paid a visit

to my brothers shop.

Jacob sent him thinking

he was doing me a favor.

As they say, the road to hell

is paved with good intentions.

You want to make the shop bigger?

Yeah. But I was thinking about

the corner of Pico and West.

What, the old gas station?

I want to level it and build

an Auto Mall.

Thinking big, huh?

I'm always thinking big. Always.

Where you gonna find money

for something like that?

I don't know.

But it's the right move.

I got it.

I'm sorry we're closed.

Hey, congratulations.

Uh, who's Izek here?

I am.

Izek. Good.

Uh, listen.

Uh, I here you guys

do excellent work, right?

And, uh, I, uh, had a

little mishap with my car,

which you... you can see over there.

Uh, you can fix that, right?

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem.

Good. Uh, Micky Levine.

So you make it look like new.

Now, that's stupid. That's what

you're supposed to do, right?

Make it look like new.

Let's check this out.

Let's see.

From what I can tell,

it's about a $450 job.

Good. I'll give you 500.

You do a good job.

No, I'll do a good job for 450,

Mr. Levine.

Listen, all right.

Deposit.

Now, that's not necessary.

It is necessary.

I'll tell you why.

Um, I'd like it tomorrow.

You can have it done

by Tuesday.

But I... I just said tomorrow.

You want this done right?

Best I can do is, uh, Monday.

All right, kid. Monday.

Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom.

Monday.

Okay, Carlos. We need this by Monday.

So I'll see you, uh, Monday.

Yeah. That's right.
