Hey, here drink up.

Chugalug!

Hey, don't bother with her, we'll

get him out of here soon enough.

I hope you burn like hell

when he leaves here with me.

How about another one?

This one's on me, huh?

Hey, how do you like my tits?

I guess they're real.

C'mon, Jack,

let's get out of here.

Norma, let's stay a while.

We're having fun here.

Hey Willie, give me

another drink here.

Have you been taking

dancing lessons, Joe?

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Tommy, you should've seen Donna

when she was born,

she was such a

beautiful little baby.

Look at her now all grown up and

married and with a baby of her own.

- What are you showing us here?

- C'mon, c'mon.

It's a little beat up now,

but just you wait.

That's it?

Eh, shut up.

I'll fix it up a little. It will be as sharp

as any bike on the road, right, Tommy?

Oh, absolutely.

Besides, watch this.

- I get the first ride.

- Not you.

What the hell are

you doing out there?

The party's in here.

The best tits

in the Western world.

What is this?

All tits and no c*nt?

C'mon. I'll show you.

All of you.

Hey, I was first.

Get out of here.

C'mon.

Spook, you're missing my party.

Come back up here.

I'll fix that for you tomorrow.

It's a nice party, Joe.

All I can say is that without that chair,

you would have been in trouble that day.

What's that?

The goddamn chair you hit me with.

Without that, I would've

kicked your ass.

- Oh, you mean at the union hall?

- Yeah.

That was really something,

wasn't it?

C'mon, this is supposed

to be a party, huh?

My baby! My baby!

Something happened to the baby.

What? What happened to the baby?

Oh, Jesus, what the hell is he

doing on the floor?

Donna, Donna, he's just a baby.

You got to keep an eye

on him all the time.

C'mon you bastards,

I'll f*** you blind.

Let's get some beer!

Make a f***ing line.

Oh, and we'd like to thank my

brother Paulie and his wife Theresa

for the wonderful,

delicious sandwiches.

Oh, oh, oh, I see the head

of our union coming in, Boyce,

and we'd like to thank him

for helping us with a union

loan, especially for the party.

First I wanna congratulate

Joe and his family.

Tommy and Donna are good kids

and I wish them the very best,

and may they have many little ones.

Hear, hear! Hear, hear!

Thanks, Boyce.

And now, I see a lot of union men

here tonight,

and I want you guys

to be the first to know.

At tonight's meeting with management

those SOB's finally gave in.

You hear me? We beat them. We're

going back to work Monday morning!

The strike is over!

Hey! What's the matter with you,

riding your bike in here?

- You seen Tral around?

- Get that thing out of here!

Go on! Get it out!

Get it out of here! Go on!

- Is anyone keepin' score here?

- Who the f*** can count that far?

Dear Tral,

I wish there was some way

for you to know

how much the time we spent

together has meant to me.

I hope and pray that I will

live through this war

and that someday you and I

will see each other again.

Until then, I'll dream about the day

when I come back and see your face

and we can once again be together

like we were these last few days.

Love, Steve.

Good, now I'm not last in line.

Get away from her.

Get away!

Get away from her!

- Get away, leave her alone.

- What's wrong with you? Take it easy.

All of you, leave her alone.

Leave her alone!

Don't.

Don't cry.

Listen, any problems with Donna,

problems with the marriage...

What do you say, Joe?

Tommy!

You come to me, understand?

I've been with Ella 26 years,

never had a single problem.

So I know what I'm

talking about here.

How's the baby doing?

Cries all day, shits

all over the place.

He's real good.
