ROMA:

Then don't sweat it, George, you

know why?

AARONOW:

No.

ROMA:

You have nothing to hide.

AARONOW:

(pause)

When I talk to the police, I get

nervous.

ROMA:

Yeah. You know who doesn't?

AARONOW:

No, who?

ROMA:

Thieves.

AARONOW:

Why?

ROMA:

They're inured to it.

AARONOW:

You think so?

ROMA:

Yes.

Pause.

AARONOW:

But what should I tell them?

47.

ROMA:

The truth, George. Always tell the

truth. It's the easiest thing to

remember.

Williamson comes out of the office with leads. Roma takes

one, reads it.

ROMA:

Patel? Ravidam Patel? How am I

going to make a living on thses

deadbeat wogs? Where did you get

this, from the morgue?

WILLIAMSON:

If you don't want it, give it back.

ROMA:

I don't "want" it, if you catch my

drift.

WILLIAMSON:

I'm giving you three leads. You...

ROMA:

What's the f***ing point in any

case...? What's the point. I got

to argue with you, I got to knock

heads with the cops, I'm busting my

balls, sell you dirt to f***ing

deadbeats money in the mattress, I

come back you can't even manage to

keep the contracts safe, I have to

go back and close them again...What

the f*** am I wasting my time, f***

this sh*t. I'm going out and

reclose last week's...

WILLIAMSON:

The word from Murray is: leave them

alone. If we need a new signature

he'll go out himself, he'll be the

president, just come in, from out

of town...

ROMA:

Okay, okay, okay, gimme this sh*t.

Fine.

(takes the leads)

WILLIAMSON:

Now, I'm giving you three...

48.

ROMA:

Three? I count two.

WILLIAMSON:

Three.

ROMA:

Patel? F*** you. F***in' Shiva

handed him a million dollars, told

him "sign the deal," he wouldn't

sign. And Vishnu, too. Into the

bargain. F*** that, John. You

know your business, I know mine.

Your business is being an a**hole,

and I find out whose f***ing cousin

you are, I'm going to go to him and

figure out a way to have your ass...

f*** you--I'll wait for the new

leads.

Shelly Levene enters.

LEVENE:

Get the chalk. Get the chalk...get

the chalk! I closed 'em! I closed

the cocksucker. Get the chalk and

put me on the board. I'm going to

Hawaii! Put me on the Cadillac

board, Williamson! Pick up the

f***in' chalk. Eight units.

Mountain View...

ROMA:

You sold eight Mountain View?

LEVENE:

You bet your ass. Who wants to go

to lunch? Who wants to go to lunch?

I'm buying.

(slaps contract down

on Williamson's desk)

Eighty-two f***ing grand. And

twelve grand in commission. John.

(pause)

On f***ing deadbeat magazine

subscription leads.

WILLIAMSON:

Who?

49.

LEVENE:

(pointing to contract)

Read it. Bruce and Harriett Nyborg.

(looking around)

What happened here?

AARONOW:

F***. I had them on River Glen.

Levene looks around.

LEVENE:

What happened?

WILLIAMSON:

Somebody broke in.

ROMA:

Eight units?

LEVENE:

That's right.

ROMA:

Shelly...!

LEVENE:

Hey, big f***ing deal. Broke a bad

streak...

AARONOW:

Shelly, the Machine, Levene.

LEVENE:

You...

AARONOW:

That's great.

LEVENE:

Thank you, George.

Baylen sticks his head out of the room; calls in, "Aaronow."

Aaronow goes into the side room.

LEVENE:

Williamson, get on the phone, call

They took the phones...

LEVENE:

BAYLEN:

ROMA:

They took the typewriters, they

took the leads, they took the cash,

LEVENE:

ROMA:

Last night, this morning.

Pause.

LEVENE:

ROMA:

Moss comes out of the interrogation.

MOSS:

ROMA:

bat?

MOSS:

hands and a map. Anyone talks to
