You tell

that son of a b*tch...

he made a big

mistake with me.

And you tell him

something else!

This is what

Arty Clay has to say.

You tell him personally

from me!

Stay outta here!

Come on, sit down.

Let's go.

Come on, you go.

I missed you.

Your watch and your wallet,

blood.

How about that?

Come by the Plaza Hotel.

I got work for you.

Ask for Frank White.

Come on.

It's up to me, right?

You guys are in trouble.

I bet two hundred.

Hurry up, will you?

I'm down a lot of money here.

Let's play cards.

I got your message, Arty.

You stupid son of a b*tch.

You running games here?

I want to play.

Sure, Frank, play.

Bring your friends.

I want to play with Arty.

Come on.

Let's go, will you?

Jump deals.

Blackjack. House out.

You got some balls coming here.

Pick up the card.

Come on.

Pick up the card.

Pick it up.

From here on, nothing goes down

unless I'm involved...

no blackjack,

no dope deals, no nothing.

A nickel bag

gets sold in the park...

I want in.

You guys got fat while everybody

starved on the street.

It's my turn.

You think you're gonna

live long enough...

to spend that money,

you f***ing hump?

If any of you...

are tired of

getting ripped off...

by guys like that...

You come with me.

I'm at the Plaza Hotel.

You're welcome.

You're all welcome!

To join!

Man or ghost,

I'll kill you again.

Ed.

Aiesha, how you doing?

I'm very upset about

what happened today.

I told you, Frank,

I did the best I could...

and you know that.

Edward.

I told you I tried

to make it work, Frank.

Hello, counselor.

How are you?

Alisha, how are you?

Aiesha.

The city councilman

was just explaining to me...

why that hospital

in the South Bronx...

didn't survive

the fiscal cut this afternoon.

I'm telling him

about how disappointed I am.

I was explaining to Frank...

that there simply wasn't

money in the budget...

to fund that facility.

In a city

of twelve million people...

I find that hard to believe.

I hoped we could do better.

I hoped so, too, Frank...

but there simply was

no money in the budget.

If you think it's so easy...

why don't you try

funding it yourself?

Maybe I will.

How about sixteen million

by the end of the quarter?

Tell your friends

they'll have the money.

Counselor, you're

this man's legal advisor.

Why don't you explain to him

the hard financial facts...

of running a municipality.

I know what this city needs...

and privileged districts...

shouldn't be the only ones

with hospitals.

Forget it, Frank.

I want that place kept open.

Forget it.

The city can't afford it

and neither can you.

The city doesn't know

where to look for the money.

Let me give you some

very expensive advice...

go someplace where

you can stay out of trouble.

I thought

that's what I pay you for.

Hello, Frank.

I want to talk to you.

I don't think so.

Come on. O'Neill can wait

for two old friends, can't he?

I'm not your friend.

Come on, Frank. We missed you

while you were away.

Thought about you, too.

I heard a rumor about you.

What's that?

I heard you got AIDS...

getting dicked

up your ass in prison.

That's what I heard.

I thought about you every time

I jerked off, d*ckhead.

Why don't we

just take this outside.

Next time, wear a tie.

Get Abe.

Here we go.

Excuse us, folks.

Excuse us. Easy, easy.

What the hell is this?

We're taking him in

for questioning.

On what grounds?

This is harassment, Bishop.

You're welcome to come along.

Even your client's

got a right to counsel.

Come on. Get out!

Look inside.

Let's go.

What's that?

You tell me.

I don't know.

This is the only chance

you get, White.

What's it gonna be?

Are you arresting me?

Oh, f***. Here we go.

If so, do it.

If not, I got people

waiting for me.

Shut the f*** up, motherf***er!

Hey, Frank.

All right, that's it.

Come here, Frank.

Here, Frank, meet somebody.

Meet somebody, huh?

Piece of sh*t!

That's it!

I'll kill the motherf***er!

No, I'm gonna cap him.

Let me cap the mo...

Get in the f***ing car!

This how you do things?

I know what you're up to, White.

Forget it.

I'm gonna make you and

your friends disappear...

long before that.

Welcome home, f*** face.

Gilley, get in the f***ing car.

Last f***ing time, you f***.

We're onto your f***ing ass.

Give your friends that message.

Ladies and gentlemen...

can I have

your attention, please?

The best man

has something to say.

First of all, I'd like

to thank Tommy Flanigan...

for being the only black male

at an Irish wedding.

Are you comfortable, Tom?

I'm from the South.

Are you comfortable?

Real comfortable.

All my buddies here,

all my brothers.

He's sweating.

Joe Mulligan,

father of the bride.

Come on up here, Joe.

Joe provided these

lovely decorations for us.

Where'd you get these, Joe,

an A.A. Meeting?

Not only that, he paid

for the whole thing.

The whole two hundred dollars.

Joe, by the way,

put your shotgun away.

The test came back negative.

Roy Bishop, do I detect

a little Afro Sheen...

on that unusually

wavy hair of yours?

Tip... Kathy...

to the finest couple...

I've ever had

the pleasure to know.

Join me, folks.

They're the only couple...

that's still together

in this neighborhood.

I wish you health, wealth...

happiness,

a lot of babies, no cops.

We don't need no more

degenerate donkeys...

running around with guns.

All bullshit aside...

and may I speak

for everybody...

we love you.

God bless.

Hear, hear.

Here's to youse.

How did I do?

I'm proud of you.

Hey, Father,

thank you for coming.

Let's get Father laid.

Give me a real drink.

Get Dennis

a drink over here.

Get the house a drink.

The bar's not open now.

You pay.

That's my wife!

It was a f***ing joke!

Would you relax?

Virginia, come here.

Come here. Excuse me.

Tip, take a tip.

Gilley's after your wife.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Hell, it's more than obvious.

He'll find the vampire marks

sunk into her neck.

Get outta here!

What's what, my friend?

How you doing?

What's what? Terrific.

Yeah? How come

you're not dancing?

I'm gonna leave that

to the father of the bride.

Are you sure you're gonna

make it through the night?

Aw, sh*t. You kidding?

I'm the one that

needs the honeymoon.

All they do is stay in bed

all f***ing night.

Do me a favor.

Give this to the kids.

I got a million things to do.

Wish them my love.

You sure you won't come in?

Nah. I got

a million things to do.

I'll see you during the week.

You take it easy.

Take care, Pops.

You can tell your boyfriend

to forget about it.

He ain't got enough money.

Maybe he'll surprise you.

I don't like

his f***ing surprises.

He's got a lot of nerve

even sending you here.

You could step

all over that sh*t...

and still get

a hundred twenty a gram.

And I got

two hundred twenty pounds of it.

Comes to fifteen mil,

street value.

And I want guarantees

nobody in this town can give.

Especially him.

Look, Larry, why don't you
