Frankie and Johnny

...it's good but

Penn is the place to be.

I like Northwestern.

We shall be arriving

at Altoona in about 15 minutes.

On your right

is Rockview Correctional Institution,

one of the largest prisons

in Pennsylvania.

...today you need

a BA and a Masters degree.

Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Get out your baggage checks

for Altoona.

...the obligation of placing

in his home the Holy Scriptures

and provide him with instructions

in the Christian faith.

As Thomas grows in years,

do you Frankie, as godmother,

and you, William, as godfather,

promise to fulfil these obligations?

Then, by the power vested in me,

I baptise you Thomas.

In the name of the Father, the Son...

Michael! Stop shooting,

you're making the minister crazy.

I'm outta here!

By the power vested in me

by this state,

I declare you released from custody.

- You're a free man.

- Thank you, Master Lincoln.

Try to stay out at least a year.

Good luck, Johnny.

- Thank you, Mr Rosen.

- You're the best cook here.

I sincerely pray

I'll never see you again.

- I'll miss your omelettes!

- I'll send you the recipe.

New York City can be

a real dangerous, hostile place.

It'll be a nice change.

New beginning for you men,

make the most of it.

Come back and cook for us, Johnny!

Delaney! I'm in, I'm out

I'm out! Out!

Nice thought, Lester!

Fresh air.

We're really free.

It was a beautiful christening.

Thanks for letting us use your house.

I love babies. Now, I don't have

any grandchildren...

Don't start, Mum.

Would you stop cleaning and sit down?

Come on.

This is the way people live, Frances.

Real people.

- What time's your bus?

- Late.

I want to spend some time with her.

- Now it's my fault!

- Nothing's your fault.

It was a lovely ceremony.

- You wanna try it again?

- One more time.

- No!

- Please! Yes, one more time.

- Great christening, honey.

- Gotta go. Bye, Frankie.

I better get going.

Baby, I worry about you in New York.

I'm fine, Mum.

Maybe I'm not the happiest person

who ever lived...

but that's not your fault.

Welcome to New York, you sinners.

This city is filled with sinners,

we don't need any more,

but you could be saved if

you follow the word of the Lord.

Will you follow? The Lord

can save you. Do you wanna be saved?

Do you? You must choose your way

today, brothers and sisters.

Do you hear me? You must choose...

Leo! Meet me at the corner.

Thank you.

Cabbie! Taxi!

- What are you doing?

- Helen's sick.

They're sending her home.

I don't know what's the matter.

Do you want water?

Nedda, get me some water, please.

You're going to be OK.

- I'm fine.

- I'll tell you when you're fine.

- What's wrong?

- He's sending me home.

Twice in one week?

Dizzy spells, not good.

It's my medication.

- Nick, I got a cab.

- Good.

Here's $10 for the cab,

you take Helen home.

- What about me?

- You take the bus.

I'll call you this afternoon.

That woman at table five

stiffed me last week.

OK, thanks for telling me.

I'll burn her toast.

I tell her to stop working so hard,

now she tells me that she's fine.

She doesn't look so fine to me.

She's been waiting on me

for ten years.

No wonder she's sick.

What are you talking about?

You know that nice dress...

Not so much butter!

I say this much, why you use

that much? Get off the phone.

In a minute, Tino.

Listen, baby, as soon I...

- Don't tie that thing up all day.

- Luther, who's gonna call you?

Scrambled with sausage, home fries

and a gun

to shoot that b*tch on three.

- How was your weekend?

- It was great. I saw my mum...

Where's my bacon?

I'm backed up. Help me

and get lover boy off the phone.

...that underwear I bought you.

- Jorge, hi! Lmmigration!

No, I was just kidding!

OK, here we go.

Good morning, Frankie.

There you go. Sorry it took so long

but Tino's real backed up.

Walt learned to juggle oranges,

he thinks it gives him vitamin C.

Hi, we have two specials today. We

have a feta cheese omelette for 3.95

and a western omelette for 2.95.

- I'll take the pancake special.

- No, there are no special pancakes.

There's the feta and the western.

I'll have the French toast special

with double syrup.

- My goodness! Did you see that?

- Yeah, I saw it.

I'm all right, don't worry.

Look what you did! My father

had to work very hard for this car.

- Get her off!

- Poke him in the eye!

...when you give them change,

they say, "No, I give you 20."

I bring you from Greece

to teach you business.

- I try, Uncle Nick.

- You can sit anywhere.

Go on, take any table. Once again.

No, it says you looking

for a short-order cook.

We're always looking for cooks

but they come and they go.

I'm not a come-and-go guy.

I'll stick with you if you hire me.

I like your hair like that.

- You don't think it's too young?

- No, it's perfect.

- See the guy on two?

- The cop?

Wants chopsticks. Where's my bacon?

My references,

signed by the governor.

- More like a diploma.

- Excuse me.

- Sorry.

- Peter, phone call.

This chopstick has tape on it,

you can't be that cheap.

- The other one is good.

- One chopstick?

You want me to sharpen it

and have him stab the food?

Good idea. So, what do you think,

pookie? You think I should hire him?

- Yes.

- Why?

- I like his face.

- Me, too. You're hired.

Thank you, sir. Really, thank you.

- OK. You wanna know why? Ask me why.

- Why?

I believe in giving men

another chance. Close your ears.

Until he fucks up.

This country gave me another chance.

Close your ears, pookie.

I didn't f*** up.

- This is between us.

- Thank you.

I won't... Could you close your ears?

I won't f*** up.

Here. Fill this out,

you bring back tomorrow, all right?

- You start tomorrow, 6am.

- I can start now.

Tomorrow's good.

I'm Nick, you're Johnny?

- How'd you hurt your hand?

- Soccer. You play soccer?

- No. I play handball, though.

- OK, tomorrow.

Nice you meeting, pookie.

I'll see you at six.

- Got a job today!

- Who gives a sh*t?

The head is ten points.

How much for the belly button?

Man! Winner! One more.

You know what I'm saying.

Stop playing and get out of here.

Come on.

You took away our playgrounds

now you take away our stiffs.

Guy comes out of the garage,

gets in his car and gets shot.

Hello? How are my shelves?

- I'm a friend of Tim's. I'm Bobby.

- Where's Tim?

He's in his place.

You were out of beer.

- Nice elephant collection.

- Thanks.

He asked me to help

with your shelves. You like 'em?

A little crooked but... yeah.

The shelves aren't crooked.

It's your floor.

There she is! There's the

little godmother. Welcome home.

Have you met Bobby?

We met at a Dr Pepper audition.

He was the big pepper,

I was the little pepper.

Hands on buzzers.

Acrophobia is the fear

of high places,

agoraphobia is the fear

of open spaces,

but what are you afraid of

if you're xenophobic?

Foreigners.

- Foreigners.

- Foreigners or strangers. Correct!

Lucy, this is Bobby.

He'll be taking you for your walk.
