Mikey and Nicky

It's 7-1-2-7-4-3-1.

Mikey?

I'm in trouble.

Can you talk?

I'm in a phone booth,

Montel and Grand

the southwest side of the street,

all right?

Don't bring your own car.

Don't come all the way with a taxi.

Stop around three blocks and then

walk the rest of the way, all right?

The phone booth, right.

All right.

Bring cigarettes, huh?

Son of a b*tch.

Yes.

Nick? It's Mikey.

Nick.

Nick, it's me.

It's Mikey from the corner.

I came as soon as I got your towel.

What are you doing in there?

Nick?

What are you doing in there?

Open the door, Nicky.

Open the door and let me in.

Nick, you're gonna have to let me in

now. I don't know the rest of the tune.

- Schmuck, open the door, will ya?

- Mikey!

Mikey!

Open the door, Nick.

- Mikey!

- It's Mikey, yes.

- You can't come in.

- What do you mean?

What did you call me for

if you don't want me to come in?

- Come on, Nick. Open the door.

- I don't want you to see me like this.

Will you stop being a horse's ass?

What way am I going to see you I haven't

seen you before? Open the door.

Open it!

Come on, Nick!

Open it up!

Everybody's comin'!

They're all comin' now!

I swear to Christ.

Don't shoot me, whatever you do.

You almost took my eye out

with the bottle.

Jesus Christ.

There's nobody here.

Hey, come on.

Look at me, will you, Nick?

Come on.

Christ's sake.

Hey, hey, come here.

Come here, come here, come here.

Here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, take it easy.

You understand me?

- I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die!

- You're not gonna die.

All right, take it easy.

All right.

- I'm scared. Oh, boy.

- I know you are.

- I am so scared.

- I know.

Come on.

Stop f***in' yourself up.

You know, I don't shave.

Did you know that?

I don't take care of myself.

I think, if I don't take care of myself

and I sit still and I don't move,

maybe they'll forget about me.

But then I'm scared of that too,

because I think maybe

if I sit there too long, maybe when

I want to move, I won't be able to move.

You sound like you're ready

for a straitjacket.

- I'm gonna die.

- Come on.

You're not gonna die.

You see the picture of Ed Lipsky?

In the paper?

You see it on Tuesday?

In Tuesday's paper?

Yeah, that was terrible.

He was all shot up.

His neck was broken. You see that?

But, uh

nobody thought you had

anything to do with Lipsky, Nick.

You're in the clear.

There's a contract out on me.

There's a contract out

on Ed Lipsky and me.

I know that for a fact.

Resnick put it out. I know it

for a fact they're gonna kill me.

- Nick.

- They're gonna kill me.

- You are not gonna die.

- Oh, boy.

Even if somebody wants to kill you,

that doesn't mean you're going to die.

- They're gonna kill me.

- I want you to stop.

- Oh, boy.

- What is it?

Your stomach?

Your stomach?

Answer me.

You did it.

You worked yourself right up

into an ulcer. Come on.

Get up. Get up. Come on.

Come on, get on the bed.

Come on.

- Here. Take this.

- What?

- Take it.

- What is it?

- Take it.

- I don't want this.

Take it or I'll shove it

down your throat. Open your mouth.

I'm gonna vomit it up.

I don't want it.

I don't want it.

If you vomit,

I will give you another one, dry.

- What is that?

- It's poison.

- What is it?

- It's Gelusil.

What do you think it is, moron?

Come on.

- How come you brought Gelusil?

- Nick, I know you for 30 years.

You call me, you say "come right away"

in that voice, I bring Gelusil.

- Now, come on.

- I can't swallow.

Try. If you throw it up,

I'll give you another one. Come on.

- Nick. Come on. Just chew it.

- Please. Don't.

They don't taste bad.

Come on.

Open the door,

let the train come in.

Come on, open the door.

You didn't smoke, did you?

You don't wanna feel better.

You want to die.

There.

- All right, cry.

- I'm scared.

You gotta take them.

Chew it. That's it.

Chew it up

and swallow it.

Come on. That's right.

That's right. Swallow it.

Okay. Give me the room key.

I'm gonna get you some half and half.

Nick, there's a coffee shop

around the corner. Now, listen to me.

- I will be right back.

- I don't want you to go.

- Nick, ten minutes.

- No.

I'll give you my watch.

You can check me.

- I will only be gone ten minutes. Nick.

- Don't go.

You're eating up the lining of your

stomach. Do you want to die?

That ulcer's going to perforate.

I have to get you some half and half.

I'll be back in five minutes.

Come on, stop that.

All right, I'm going.

Here.

- Here, it's 9:
15. Hold the watch.

- Don't go.

In ten minutes, when the hand

hits 9:
25, I'm gonna be back.

- I'm goin'. I gotta go.

- Wait, wait.

I gotta go.

Let go of my tie.

Let go of my tie.

Let go of my tie.

You're not back in ten minutes,

I'm not gonna let you in.

Good. Try and take

another Gelusil.

Good night.

Give me some milk and some cream

in separate cartons to go.

Some skim milk?

- No cream?

- Not to go.

What do you put in the coffee here?

You have any cream?

- We use these little bottles here.

- Okay, give me 15 of those to go.

- Give me a couple cartons of milk.

- We don't give these bottles to go.

You want coffee to go, I put the

cream in here and use the dispenser.

All right, give me a carton of cream

from the dispenser.

- How many coffees?

- No coffees, just a carton of cream.

I can't do that. I'd have to charge.

Cream is for coffee only, not for sale.

Charge me for 15 coffees

and give me the cream.

- Fifteen coffees?

- That's right.

You give me that in 30 seconds,

you hear me? Or I'll kill you!

- Okay. Okay.

- Because I'm crazy!

- Now, give it to me!

- Yes, sir. Okay. Okay.

Give it to me!

Come near me and I'll kill you!

Nick, Mikey.

I got it.

What's the matter?

There's no one here, Nicky.

There is no one here.

Please.

What, look at this.

Would you believe? Ugh.

Murder.

All right.

Good enough, huh?

Huh?

That's good.

You're doin' good.

So, how did you know

there was a contract out on you?

Hmm?

- A guy I know told me.

- What guy?

A guy I know.

Wanted to do me a favor.

- Well, who was it?

- A friend of mine. A guy.

A friend of mine, wanted to do me

a favor. What difference does it make?

What do you mean,

what difference does it make?

Was it a doorman?

Was it Frank Costello? Who was it?

I can't tell you.

But you gotta trust me.

I know.

Take my word for it.

I'm telling you

it was someone I know.

Were you in on this deal with Lipsky?

Are you crazy?

I didn't even know Lipsky

until Resnick brought him

into the bank.

The runners knew him

better than I did.

Well, how do you know

it's even true?

I got a better one for you:

How do you know it's not true?

- How much money you got on you?

- I got $1,000.

- $1,000 right here.

- All right. I'll send you the rest.

Come on. I don't want

to call the airport from here.

- Wait a minute. Where are we going?

- I'm going to get you out of town.

- Now?

- Yeah, now.

Listen, Nick, if they're

really looking for you

and you say they are,
