You don't want to

get too smart.

You know, 'cause jackie --

oh, jackie.

Yeah.

Okay.

I mean, he loves you now,

but you never know.

He could drop you

any second.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay. All right.

Don't get too smart.

You know, just a tip.

Thank you,

and I'm sorry.

Sorry? No,

you don't have to apologize.

You did a great job.

Okay.

I mean, you could have

got us all killed.

But you did a great job.

Okay.

Just remember

who brought you in.

You did.

Okay.

All right.

[ mid-tempo music plays ]

Jackie:
Sam!

Sam!

Jackie.

How are you?

Good to see you.

So, this is it?

This is where

you've been working?

Uh...Tateh,

this is mr. Solomon.

Mr. Gold, jackie solomon.

A pleasure to meet you.

You know, I never appreciated

working with my dad

Until he was gone, sam.

Well, hopefully,

shmuel knows better than that.

Oh,

I'm sure he does.

He's been a great help

to my business.

He was?

Yes, incredible.

Not so great.

Oh, no, he's one

of the smartest kids I know.

And I'm sure he's gonna make

a great rabbi.

I mean, that's the goal,

right?

Shmuel's been

working for you?

Well, a little bit, just lately.

He's been doing a great job.

I enjoy working

with mr. Solomon.

And I enjoy working with sam.

He's been great.

If there's anything that you

ever need, just give me a call.

Yes. Sure.

[ speaks yiddish ]

[ speaks yiddish ]

I'll see you guys later.

It's too much, shmuel!

Shmuel!

Tateh, it's fine!

No, this is -- no!

You don't listen!

[ car alarm blaring

in distance ]

Yosef:
Usually we recruit

in three neighborhoods --

Williamsburg, crown heights,

borough park.

Try to avoid groups.

Look for stragglers,

young families --

People that need extra money and

won't ask too many questions.

You know what I'm saying?

Just sell it.

Sammy gold,

the salesman.

You're a good salesman,

right, sammy gold?

Show time.

[ snorts ]

you all right?

Yeah.

You're all right. You'll get it.

Watch the master.

[ grunts ]

Excuse me, sir.

How are you?

How are you doing?

Listen, I have a golden

opportunity for you.

How are you?

Let me ask you a question.

Are you from around here?

What are you in a rush for?

[ scoffs ]

Woman:
Oy, ziggy,

talk to your boss.

Boys, come here.

Give me a hand.

[ clears throat ]

Take the children inside.

Can I help you?

Uh, no. Thank you.

Child:

This is so heavy.

Vartn.

If you could

help my wife...

Shalom aleichem.

Ma'am, have you ever

been to europe?

Yosef:
Wait, the bear --

wait, wait.

The bear and the rabbit

sh*t in the woods.

Okay, hold on. I know, I know,

I know. Hold on. They can wait.

The bear and the rabbit

sh*t in the woods.

The rabbit -- the bear turns

to the rabbit and says, "hey."

Hold on one second.

Can you hold on one second?

The -- the bear

says to the rabbit,

"hey, have you sh*t

here before?"

And then the --

What the f*** are you

talking about, seriously?

These are f***ing andrew's guys

from brighton.

They pay $40

a f***ing pill.

Watch the way

I handle these guys.

All right, cool.

Yeah, yeah,

cool. Cool.

I hope you guys are not wasting

my f***ing time here.

Man:
That was bullshit.

He had us

going over bridges

And through tunnels in

the f***ing mystery machine.

You mean brooklyn?

Really?

I don't know

about the other customers,

But we got a lot of money.

Cool out, man.

Yeah, what's up with your boys,

andrew, seriously?

Hey, bro,

That are ready for this sh*t,

so let's get it on.

Who are these characters

What's that?

Hi, boys.

That's why you don't

buy drugs from a jew.

What the f*** did you say,

It's unprofessional.

Unprofessional?

Well, excuse me for being

un-f***ing-professional, andrew.

Come here. Come here.

Go ahead.

No, no, no, no!

No? All right, hold on.

Jackie, hey.

I'm almost ready to lock up.

Is it all here?

Yeah.

Okay, good.

Good job.

Thank you.

Sam,

Yeah.

[ dial turns, safe opens ]

Hey, sam?

Yeah?

I need you

to do me a favor.

I need you to take

some of my cash to europe.

When are you leaving?

Uh, we could do, uh, Sunday

first thing, no problem.

Sunday is good.

Me and rachel are leaving

tomorrow morning,

So that makes sense.

All right. But we're going out

tonight. You want to come?

Jackie, it's shabbos.

I can't go out.

Jackie:
That's right.

It is shabbos.

I forgot.

I got to call my mom.

No.

I'm being polite.

You tired, sam?

It was a long flight, right?

No, I'm okay.

You know, the anne frank house

is here, as well.

I'd like to see that.

I know.

I've tried to go twice.

And both times

the line was too long.

Yosef:
That's 'cause

you were stoned.

Sammy boy, good job.

You're doing a mitzvah

for your family.

You should both

be very proud.

Here. Try this on.

It's heavy.

Don't touch it.

Come on. We're gonna

miss your flight.

Please.

We need a moment alone.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Make it quick.

[ thunder rumbles ]

Rabbe horowitz:

Sheep follow sheep.

I'm not a sheep, rebbe.

I don't know

what that means.

It means there are rumors

Spreading in the community

about you.

I import garments

wholesale.

Your good friend leon

is very concerned.

I've not spoken to leon

for a long time.

I travel.

People get ideas --

their imagination.
