Ah. Ah. Perhaps I can advise you

Excuse us, will you...?

WILLIAMSON:

AARONOW:

WILLIAMSON:

Will you take it outside, we have

people trying to do business here...

AARONOW:

74.

AARONOW:

AARONOW:

Uh, uh, did he go to the restaurant?

(exits)

ROMA:

I'm very sorry, Jimmy. I apologize

to you.

LINGK:

It's not me, it's my wife.

ROMA:

What is?

LINGK:

I told you.

ROMA:

Tell me again.

75.

LINGK:

What's going on here?

ROMA:

Tell me again. Your wife.

LINGK:

I told you.

ROMA:

You tell me again.

LINGK:

She wants her money back.

ROMA:

We're going to speak to her.

LINGK:

No. She told me "right now."

ROMA:

We'll speak to her, Jim...

LINGK:

She won't listen.

Detective sticks his head out.

BAYLEN:

Roma.

LINGK:

She told me if not, I have to call

the State's attorney.

ROMA:

No, no. That's just something she

"said." We don't have to do that.

LINGK:

She told me I have to.

ROMA:

No, Jim.

LINGK:

I do. If I don't get my money

back...

I'm talking to you...

ROMA:

joint off, I'm doing business.

I'll be with you in a while. You

is heading for the door)

Where are you going?

LINGK:

I'm...

ROMA:

Where are you going...? This is

me...This is Ricky, Jim. Jim,

anything you want, you want it, you

have it. You understand? This is

me. Something upset you. Sit

Am I going to help you fix it?

You're goddamned right I am. Sit

Sometimes we need someone from

outside. It's...no, sit down...Now
