''Did you ever hear of a wish sandwich?
''It's the kind
that you're supposed to take...
''...two pieces of bread
and wish you had some meat.
''The other day I ate a ricochet biscuit.
''It's the kind that's supposed
to bounce off the wall back in your mouth.
''If it don't bounce back, you go hungry!''
Charlie, Flash ain't here yet.
He said he'd be here.
Well, he isn't. Nice, real nice.
He'll be here.
Look...
...I'll give ya $20 to hold ya for now.
What, are ya kidding? Twenty dollars
doesn't pay the interest for two hours.
-Now with this week, it's almost $3,000.
-Three thousand?
Sh*t, you charge a guy
from the neighborhood 1800 vig?
One day he's late with his payments.
What am I, his father?
Ya could have come to me
a little sooner, friend.
Charlie, this is business.
Be realistic.
Where's he gonna come up
with $3,000, huh?
Let's work somethin' out.
Make it $1,800.
Don't hustle me.
I'm not hustlin' you.
Let's make it $2,000.
All right, now you're bein' sensible about it.
and the goddamn cross.
If he thinks he's makin' a jerk off outta me,
I'll break his legs.
Michael, come on, huh?
not to get involved.
Don't tell me what to do, huh?
I'm tellin' you the truth.
The f***in' truth is
you're more involved than anyone.
What do I look like, a jerk?
On next payday
I'm comin' down here to Tony's.
Johnny Boy better show
or I'm gonna find him and...
...I'm gonna break his f***in' legs.
We understand each other?
I heard ya.
Good.
Amen, I say to thee.
Thou will not come out from it
till thou hast paid the last penny.
Michael, you look tired.
You said it.
Jerry, take it easy!
We're in America, Jerry!
Dance?
Do you like this song?
Charlie, there's a girl here to see you.
-Charlie?
-What is it? What's wrong?
Johnny Boy is up on that building
on the corner.
He's been on the roof for half an hour.
-All right, don't get excited.
-He's got a gun.
Don't get excited.
-You stay here.
-I'm coming with you.
-Teresa, stay here.
-I don't want to--
You stay here. Tony....
Hey, Teresa, stay here.
-Come on, have a drink.
-I don't want a drink.
-Carl, give her a drink.
-I don't want one!
Have a drink.
-I'll have a seven and seven.
-Okay.
Charlie. Hey, watch out.
Crazy bastard's on the roof.
Johnny! It's me, Charlie!
Hey, watch this!
Hey, cut it out, stupid. It's me.
Hey, what do ya got up there?
A .38!
-That ain't real, is it?
-Yeah.
What's wrong with him?
I'll throw that f***er off the roof.
Oh, sh*t. Hey, lady, I'm sorry.
Lady, I didn't mean it, I swear to God!
I'm very sorry.
Are you crazy? What are you doin'?
I scared the sh*t out of 'em!
Very funny. Give me that.
I hit that lady.
I tried to get her clothesline.
What's wrong with you?
What do ya mean?
You have Teresa half-crazy about this.
Why? I wasn't shootin' at nobody.
Just up in the air.
I want to wake up the neighborhood.
It's dead.
I hate that woman
with a vengeance, a passion.
You and your numbers!
F***in' chicken shits!
Back to Bataan.
Now they're gonna get
a real back to Bataan.
An atom bomb,
wake up the neighborhood.
-What the f***? Put that out!
-Put what out?
-Johnny, put that out!
-Surprise, you want to see?
-Want to see?
-Johnny, put that--
Let's hide in here for a while.
What's wrong with the door?
-What are you kickin', stupid? Get in there.
-About time.
Remember when we played hide-and-seek?
Never mind that.
What's this crap about last week?
What?
You got some balls not showin' up
for work last week.
After all we had to do
to get you on that truck, stupid!
What's the matter with you?
Charlie, come on, man.
My arm was hurtin'--
Your hand was hurtin'.
Your mouth's gonna hurt from this kick!
For what? Hey, I swear to you,
what are you talkin' about?
Besides, I don't like loadin' crates.
You're not supposed to like it.
What gets me is your attitude.
My attitude?
What gets me is your attitude.
-Did you ever load crates? You don't work.
-My attitude....
You tell me to go to work
and then you do all the talkin'.
What do you do? You do nothin'.
I'll tell ya somethin' I don't do:
I don't owe anybody 2,000 clams, stupid!
I got Michael to make it $2,000,
give ya a break on that.
Oh, yeah?
Go to work tomorrow
or I'll break both your arms.
-We understand each other?
-Yeah.
I'm sorry. I really am. I mean...
...'cause I appreciate everything
you're doin' for me. I mean, I do.
So I was figurin' that the next
logical thing to do-- Don't get mad!
-How?
-How you get.
-You know a way out of this?
-Yeah.
Well, let me hear this one.
Talk to your uncle.
Oh, that'd be just really great for you,
wouldn't it, huh?
But not for me!
Johnny, one more word out of your mouth,
my uncle hears one word about this--
All right.
I was just askin', that's all.
That's what I get for gettin' involved.
Look...
...on payday, at least show up
at Tony's place to meet him, okay?
This way he won't think
you're tryin' to make a jerk off out of him.
-Yeah, all right.
-I'm not askin' ya, I'm tellin' ya!
-Johnny, come on.
-What?
Come on.
What, we are goin' now?
-Hey, Shorty!
-F*** you, Charlie, will you?
Shorty, you must be havin'
illusions of grandeur.
-What do ya want from me?
-Talk to him.
Gonna see you and Johnny Boy
down here tonight, right?
Yeah, we'll be here.
I'm tellin' ya, Charlie, that kid doesn't
show up tonight, I'll find him.
I'm gonna drag him down here.
I'll tie one of his legs
to that Cadillac bumper.
I'll tie the other to the Ford. And, boom!
We'll be here!
Better be here, Charlie.
Michael, don't you f***in' threaten me.
Miss? Excuse me, Miss?
What do you want?
I just want you to remind your cousin
he's gotta see Michael tonight.
Then tell him yourself.
I'd love to. Where is he?
I don't know. He's not here.
He's here all the time.
-F*** you!
-F*** me?
Why am I taking this from you?
Look what you did--
Here.
What am I doin'?
Would you just give me
my f***in' eggplant, please?
You got some mouth, you know that?
Get outta here!
Now just be sure and tell him
to be here tonight, all right?
You sure he didn't say anything
about tonight?
I told you before, nothing.
Charlie, will you listen to me?
I can't stay here too long this time of night.
Now, Michael was looking for him.
-What's happening?
-Nothin'.
I don't believe you.
Son of a b*tch.
What? What did you just say?
Teresa, watch the hands already!
Charlie, what do you think?
Well, don't you realize
what this apartment means?
Maybe after a while
you could even move in yourself.
Enough with that apartment already!
I don't want to hear anymore!
I got enough on me
with your bastard cousin.
You want to move, go on.
But leave me out of it!
Teresa, I didn't mean that,
but we've got a situation right now.
-Yeah, a situation.
