Prizzi's Honor Page #6

the cops tell us...

the guy who got snatched the day

they did the number on the cops wife...

was in big business

with the Prizzi family.

I wanna make this a short meet.

I wanna put it to a vote right now...

that Dominic Prizzi...

tells us what the hell

he's gonna do about it.

Alright?

Raise your hands.

Hold the hands.

Who do you think

you're talking to?

I am Dominic Prizzi.

When most of you people was walking

around with holes in your pants...

I was holding up gas stations.

We was the biggest family

in the country.

And now most of you have figured out

how to push broads...

we're still the biggest.

We lose more when the cops

get in an uproar...

than any of you.

Now we don't like it...

but you ain't gonna tell us

how to run our business.

We ain't taking any sh*t

from any outsiders...

about the family business...

especially from a scummy little pimp

like you, Seor Bocca.

I hope you like it!

Thank you.

Padrino, you never saw anything

like this here...

the broad pushes the wrong button

on the elevator.

The door drops just in the minute...

when the second man drops

the bodyguard.

The woman is standing there.

She makes all three of us.

She had to go.

I'm sure you didn't act

without thinking.

That's why I called you here today.

You're a thinker.

Dominic is a sick man...

and the return of

his daughter brought him no ease.

He has got older.

I'm gonna move Dominic out

to Vegas...

and make you boss.

I'm speechless Padrino.

This...

is an honour...

beyond my dreams.

What could I do to show

my gratitude?

For the time being

this must be our secret.

You must not even tell your father.

I don't understand Padrino.

We'll announce everything once

the Filargi thing is settled.

Then Dominic will move out

and you'll move in.

God, I missed you.

So I gathered.

What's been happening?

Plenty.

Just had a meeting with the Don.

A private audience.

Here.

He wants me to take over.

He says that Dominic is sick.

They're gonna send him to Vegas.

I'm gonna be the boss.

Charley,

that's fantastic.

I don't know.

Sounds fishy to me.

Number one...

should have been Dominic

told me...

instead of the Don.

Well maybe the Don hasn't broken

the news to Dominic yet?

Whether he has or he hasn't...

he would have told Pop.

He don't decide what Mass to go to

unless he talks to Pop.

Big deal like this they'd go over

every angle fifteen times.

They didn't?

No.

And worse than that.

The Don says for me not to tell Pop.

Wanna know what I think, Irene?

What?

I think they're setting me up.

I think you're right Charley.

I think they're after our scalps.

How do you know?

I gotta a couple of things to tell you.

I went out to L. A on orders

of the Don.

He told me to bring back the money

I took from Louis Palo...

plus 50 percent interest.

So you did ice Louis Palo.

You swore to me that you didn't.

You lied to me.

I lied to you because

you wanted me to.

I only told you what

you wanted to be true.

And I told the Don

it was all my doing.

Jesus Charley, I'm so sorry.

What's the other thing you got to tell

me?

Dominic has put out

a contract on you.

What are you f***ing nuts?

No, Charley,

I'm the contractor.

Dominic hires my own wife

to clip me?

Charley he didn't know

I was your wife.

He just wanted the best.

Charley!

Honey,

let's go to Hong Kong tonight.

What are you talking about?

Let's beat it while we still can.

Beat it?

Yeah, scram, split,

let's make a run for it.

Look I know this guy in Hong Kong

who can give us...

new prints even new faces

in a few days.

We can get out of this crazy world,

we can start fresh.

We can be together all the time.

Hong Kong?

Hong Kong, Brazil, South Africa.

It doesn't matter.

What matters is us together.

Listen, I've been doing three four

hits a year for the last few years.

Most of them full pay.

That many?

Well it's not many if you consider

the size of the population.

The thing is

I got almost a million.

In a safe deposit box on the coast.

You must have at least

that much put away.

We can take all the money

and make a run for it.

We can go where we want,

do what we want...

we can be together

all the time.

Please Charley let's just go

before they get us.

They're not gonna get us.

Piss on the Prizzi's.

These people can't win all the time.

There has to be a way to beat them.

Bastards.

Let's call Pop.

And the Don told you to keep

making you boss a secret from me?

Yeah.

And he told you he's letting you off

for giving him back the money?

Plus fifty percent.

And Dominic gave you a fifty dollar

down payment to hit Charley?

Absolutely.

Brand new bills.

Oh, he's hot.

I ain't never seen him this hot.

It's just business, just business.

What are we gonna do?

We have to take away the only thing

the Don wants,

Filargi.

You have to snatch Filargi again

This time from the Prizzi's.

How many people you got out there

holding him down?

Two.

My people,

they do whatever I tell them.

Good.

Filargi is worth seventy million,

maybe more to the Prizzi's.

Including the bank.

So what are you next to

seventy million dollars?

Nothing.

They'll take whatever deal

you offer them.

Yeah, no choice right.

They know we can let Filargi

go and testify against them.

Or even worse...

you can try and go into...

the Governments

witness protection programme...

and testify against

the Don and Dominic.

To a jury the colds facts would be

you shot the Captains wife...

on orders from the Don and Dominic

after they hired you for 150 dollars.

You're very dangerous to the Prizzi's,

Irene.

Yeah.

It could turn out to be a good thing

Irene zipped the police captains wife.

It could solve all our problems.

We're here tonight to honour

my son.

He's gonna leave us...

to live in a 935 dollar

house...

next to his own golf course

in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And I said to him,

from you, from my heart...

God speed you!

God bless you Dominic!

And I want to present you...

with these tokens of esteem

from your entire family.

Some going away presents.

A complete set of

Stealing silver golf clubs.

That bag is made out of the hide

of an elephant.

It's the only one

in the United States.

And one thousand of your favourite

Mexican cigars.

We're gonna have a song...

in celebration of this grand

occasion...

the great Tenor

Tomas Innovarata.

Get moving.

Holy sh*t boss.

Somebody done the job on Fingo.

The Bocca's.

This killing of the Police captain's

wife is costing us all too much.

I got something to read to you.

It's a letter.

A letter?

Who from?

Charley.

You all set?

Dear Eduardo...

You're probably hot right now

cause we took Filargi.

But when you hear

the reason why...

you and the Don are gonna understand

there was no other way we could go.

Dominic put out a contract on me.

He's a f***ing liar!

You wanna hear the letter,

listen don't talk.

There's a 130 million dollars here

maybe more.
