Money for Nothing Page #4

- I already checked it

Well, check it again

If I found that kind of money,

you'd never hear from me again

Twenty-four hours

- and not a single clue.

- That's because $10,000

isn't enough reward

You might not catch the guy

who stole the money...

but you'll probably

get his neighbor

This is South Philly,

Mr Hrbek

If you weren't familiar with

the neighborhood, you wouldn't

even know that street existed

If somebody in one of those

row houses got $12 million

believe me, they're gonna talk

to somebody

Is that how you solve crimes in South

Philly, Detective? Waiting around

for the crook

to tell the wrong person?

You know somethin'?

You guys are in business

because people can't be trusted

And if we don't find that money

to everyone's satisfaction

you might not be in business

for too much longer

Now, both your drivers passed

their polygraph test with flying colors

And the insurance company

knows that the accident happened

due to equipment malfunction

so you can forget

about a settlement

Raise the reward

It costs money

to find money

Mr Hrbek

I'll double the reward

$20,000 is still below

the going rate of a row house

Well, I'm not familiar with the price

of real estate in South Philly

Well, maybe you should

read up on it

You come up with 50 grand,

somebody's gonna talk

No, no, the reward stays at 20

- You guys are still issued

rotary phones?

Yeah, you Just put your finger

in the little hole around

the number and drag it around

It takes a little longer

but it still works

Thank you

Ladies and gentlemen

Ladies and gentlemen

Monica

Hey,Joe

Get in

El D

Real leather seats

You're doin' good,Joe

Comin' up in life, huh?

It's a nice car

I've been doin' some thinkin' I want

you to be straight with me on somethin'

- Will you do that for me?

- I think that's always best

Now, nobody died in your family,

so I know you didn't inherit any money

- No, everybody's healthy

- I'm glad to hear it

And I checked the paper

You didn't win the lottery

No, I wouldn't waste my money

on a government racket

Uh-huh

And you're not a big gambler

Here and there,

a little bit, you know

Joe, I want you

to do me a favor

Yeah?

Can you show me what

$12 million looks like?

I could arrange that

It's like you dream

of somethin'like this happenin'

and then it happens...

- and-and you feel numb,

you know what I mean?

- Mm-hmm.

Think about it, whatever you need,

like medical, take care of your family.

I mean, even after that,

you know, anything.

Anything

that needs to be done...

can now be done

I mean, that'll really work

on your brain, you know what I mean?

I mean, what'd you want? Anything in

the worid Where do you wanna go?

- To Paris for breakfast?

Anything, it doesn't matter

- I would love

to go on vacation with you

Now we can go to the Caribbean, you

know Take one of those cruise ships

- Yeah

- Take some mambo classes

Two hundred extra for mambo

And we could use some new clothes

to go on the trip with, you know

Yeah You need some clothes

- Not the five and dime, come on

- Oh, she wants the top of the line

Yes, I do And, you know, I've always

wanted to continue my education

- College?

- Mm-hmm

- That's gonna take money

- Yes, it will

That's for college

And this is for uh, for uh,

your-your breeding and your grades

Excuse me?

Look who's talking

God, you know, I thought I had

a decent Job taking home $350 a week

Yeah

I'd be, I'd be a grandmother

by the time I earned $12 million

You'd think a life's worth of toil would

amount to more than this, you know

- And all this is only half the money

- Half?

- Yeah

- Where's the other half?

It's bein' washed

Washed?

Yeah Washed

- As in laundered?

- Yes, as in hand-washed, laundered

So we can spend it while we're young

That's the idea

Who did you give the rest to?

A friend

Someone I know?

You might

Who,Joe?

- I went to Catholic school with him

- You went to Catholic school

with 400 people.

Don't tell me Dino

Not Dino Palladino

The one and only

So, he's the only one

who knows besides you and me?

- Except for Kenny

- You told Kozlowski?

Kenny was there when I found it

Dino doesn't know because

Kenny says he wasn't there

You know what I'm sayin'?

That's Just great,Joe

So, it's Just, you know, basically,

Dino, Kenny, me and you

- This is great

- Where you goin'?

Look, I'm not stickin' around when Dino

and his boys come for the rest of it

Those guys will slit

your throat for five bucks

Those guys are businessmen

like everybody else

- Yeah, right

- All right,you're so smart...

I come to you for advice

the other day and you wouldn't

even give me the time of day

What are you gonna do if a

million-two drops in your lap

and you gotta change it?

I'll tell ya what I wouldn't do

I wouldn't give $600,000 to some

small-time hustler,Joe

And I wouldn't go spend

a fortune to show off to some girl

who already

gave up on you.

You're saying you're only here

with me 'cause of the money?

Good-bye,.Joe.

- Hey, you kids Hey, wait a minute!

- Cops! Come on, let's go!

Hey, come here!

Hey, come on back.!

- Oh, hey, hey, hey, come here

- No
