HENRY slams the soap onto the shower floor and pounds the

wall with joy.

ROBIN (O.S.)

Are you okay? What happened?

HENRY:

Nothing. I dropped the soap. That's

all.

EXT. ROBERT'S LOUNGE - NIGHT

Private Christmas party. As they arrive, HENRY and KAREN

are hugged by JIMMY in the doorway. It is a Lufthansa

victory party, but no one mentions the robbery.

JIMMY:

(grabbing Henry

around the neck

and kissing his

head)

Come here.

(to Karen)

Look at this genius.

JIMMY keeps his arms around HENRY and KAREN as FAT LOUIE

CAFORA shows up with his new wife, DOLORES, who is also

over 200 pounds. They are beaming with pride.

FAT LOUIE:

(to Jimmy and Henry)

Come outside. I gotta show you.

Just for a minute.

WE SEE a new pink caddy convertible. The sticker is still

in the window.

FAT LOUIE (O.S.)

Is that beautiful? I got it for

Dolores.

JIMMY:

(whispering angrily

at Fat Louie)

You f***ing nuts? Didn't I say not

to go buy anything for a while?

You got a f***ing car?

FAT LOUIE:

(trying to placate

Jimmy as he enters

the bar)

Don't get excited. It's okay. My

mother bought it for us. It's a

wedding present. It's in her name.

JIMMY:

You're crazy. The bulls are across

the street. They're watching

everything we do.

CUT TO:

ROBERT'S LOUNGE - COPS IN FRONT

CUT BACK TO:

JIMMY as he watches Fat Louie walk into the bar.

JIMMY:

(angrily whispering

to Henry)

The fat f*** ought to wear a sign.

WE SEE a sailing ANGELO SEPE walk in the door and WE SEE

that his WIFE is wearing a $30,000 sable coat.

JIMMY:

Jesus Christ! Are you all f***ing

nuts?

SEPE:

(to Henry)

What's the matter with him?

Before HENRY can answer, WE SEE JIMMY start to grab the

coat off MRS. SEPE's back.

SEPE:

Hey? What the f*** are you doing?

MRS. SEPE

(hysteria risin)

Angelo! He's taking my coat!

Angelo!

Meanwhile, WE SEE JIMMY grabbing the coat off MRS. SEPE's

back and begin to roll it up and shove it under SEPE's

arm.

JIMMY:

(furiously, to Sepe)

Didn't I tell you not to get

anything big? Didn't I tell you

not to attract attention? In two

days, one f*** buys a Caddy and

another buys a ten thousand dollar

mink.

(to Henry)

Can you believe this sh*t?

(to Sepe, with some

menace)

Now get the f*** home and get rid

of the coat. Bring it back to where

you got it. I don't care what you

do, just get rid of it.

MRS. SEPE

(to Sepe, hysterical

and angry)

I'm not giving it back. Angelo? Do

you hear me?

WE SEE SEPE angrily grab his WIFE'S arm and leave.

SEPE:

Did I tell you to shut up? Shut

up!

JIMMY:

(to Henry, as they

walk toward the

bar)

F***ing guys. Can you believe

them. I told them all: Don't .

attract attention. Act normal.

At the bar, WE SEE STACKS EDWARDS and his GIRLFRIEND

dropping shot glasses of green creme de menthe into large

glasses of chilled DON Perignon. TOMMY and his GIRL-FOR-

THE-MIGHT are standing with STACKS and his GIRLFRIEND.

TOMMY is wearing a shiny silk suit that practically glows

with newness. WE SEE FRENCHY and BUDDHA with their WIVES.

EVERYONE is dressed in new clothes and flashing gaudy rings.

JIMMY and HENRY move toward a quiet corner of the bar. WE

SEE MARTY KRUGMAN suddenly burst in on them.

MARTY:

Oh! There you are. I've been

looking all over for you two.
