Pushing Tin Page #5
Some craziness, right?
- So I took her to Enzo's.
- Enzo's?
That was nice of you.
Russell split town on her and
she was having a nervous breakdown.
Sweet kid, so I just
sobered her up a bit, you know?
It was real nice of you.
- Well, I didn't know...
- I should call her.
Have you seen Russell
around anywhere?
- He was here a minute ago.
- Yeah? How did he seem?
- What do you mean?
- How did he seem?
I'll give him a complete physical
the next time I run into him.
- Hello.
- Hey, honey.
Great. Nicky, what's up?
You wanna have dinner tonight with me?
Relax a little together?
Sure. Okay. At Enzo's?
- No, someplace else.
- Where?
- You pick.
- What's wrong with Enzo's?
- Bad experience with Mary Bell?
- It would've been better with you.
- I mean, Enzo's would've been.
- Right.
They treat us better
when we're both there.
- I hadn't noticed that.
- Right. Enzo's it is.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- What's that racket?
- Enzo's getting good, huh?
- Mr. And Mrs. Falzone.
- How are you?
- I'm fine, thanks.
- Jesus Christ.
Mr. And Mrs. Falzone, welcome.
It's so good to see you.
- Your table is this way.
- Wanna leave?
- It's Russell.
- Yeah, I know. I saw him.
Don't worry.
- Is there a table by the window?
- Sorry. We're full tonight.
- They should join us.
- Who?
- The Bells.
- No.
- Why not?
- This is a romantic dinner.
- We're in that mode.
- Your husband has a beautiful voice.
- Hi, Mary.
- Hi.
- Nice to see you.
- Bruschetta.
Bruschetta. Nick, my friend.
- Enzo.
- And Connie.
This place is filled
with beautiful women.
You and Russell work together?
He's an interesting guy.
- Thank you.
- I'll be back with the specials.
- Would you like...?
- With little Nicky and the ADD thing?
Does he need Ritalin?
Could he grow out of it?
Yeah. We've done
all the allergy tests. Honey?
He's not allergic
to chocolate or wheat.
Maybe some sort of relaxation.
- Summer camp?
- He's focused on the ice.
He got cross-checked in the first
period and he remembered.
Third period,
he zeroed in on that punk.
He got a five-minute major.
Very focused, tough individual.
- Little man in a big man's shoes.
- You okay?
I guess their kid plays hockey.
- You play sports?
- I bowled when I was an alcoholic.
Did it help?
- This is ridiculous.
- What is?
Would you like to join us?
Well, not a drink, but...
Honey?
- I'd really appreciate it.
- Why not?
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
That was a great way to grow up...
...with no electricity
My grandfather was raised
on a reservation in Oklahoma.
Is that where the alcohol problem began?
It must've been hard, socially.
- Not at all.
- We drink a lot.
I don't, but the guys at work do.
- It's more a spiritual thing.
- Was that a problem at school?
- What, liquor?
- No, being Indian.
- Half.
- I'm sorry. Nick said...
No, don't apologize. I'm half.
- Right.
- My dad's Irish.
- Your mom's...?
- My mom's Choctaw.
- Choctop.
- Choctaw. Not Choctop.
I thought you said Choctop.
My grandmother's Italian,
and that's hard.
- In the '50s...
- It's hard to be Italian?
No. I love it.
I don't speak it or anything.
It was hard for them, the acceptance.
- Tastes like chicken.
- They say that about crocodile.
My dear friends. We have
many requests for another song.
Russell, would you do another for us?
Don't ever call me at work again.
Don't ever go to Sorrento's again.
- Fine.
- What do you need?
I told Russell.
- You told him what?
- About us.
Why did you do that?
Why would you do something like that?
What are you, f***ing nuts?
Why would you do that?
Tell me why you'd do... Are you sick?
Last night was a major moment in our
marriage. We reached this honesty...
...and he shared something with me
that was unbelievably personal.
What?!
Like I'm gonna tell you.
It was important I share
with him in return.
You know I gotta work with this guy?
We work together!
I know. It's okay. He's not upset.
Yeah, right!
- Bullshit!
You understand? It's never all right!
I'm a man! He's a man! Trust me!
It's never all right. Ever! Ever!
- He was moved that I was so honest.
- Oh, Jesus!
- He surprises me.
- Maybe it's for the best.
Assuming that Russell
doesn't shoot me in the eyes...
...l'll change.
I haven't been the best husband.
I acted on the occasional wrong impulse.
I've taken the detour...
I'm way too sober for this.
I wanna say something
then you do what you must.
I must be losing my mind.
To do that to another controller
is inexcusable.
It was 99% alcohol...
You don't wanna hear that.
I don't even wanna hear it or say it.
Whatever we have to do to make it
right, I wanna make it right.
So if you wanna take a swing at me...
...I want you to know,
I wouldn't swing back.
Come on.
It's okay.
Have a seat.
Sit with me.
It's okay. Sit with me.
My grandfather said,
"If you wanna sleep at night...
...don't marry a young, beautiful woman."
Well, I did.
A 40-year-old man, I married
a beautiful 19-year-old girl.
I've learned to accept things.
I know the dangers.
I've also been on the other side,
the one following the little pink panties.
It's torturous. We're men.
We can't help it.
It's not fair.
We have a huge burden on us.
Jesus, you're being incredible
about this, Bell.
I mean, amazing. Really.
You're married to a beautiful woman.
You should understand.
- Connie?
- Yeah, Connie.
I mean, she's gorgeous.
My God, she's gorgeous.
You must go crazy
when men gawk at her.
If this happened to you...
...if you were in this situation,
you'd understand.
You might not like it,
but you'd understand.
- I don't think I would.
- You might be surprised.
Human beings can tolerate
a lot of pain.
You never know until it happens.
- Hi there.
- How you doing?
Fine. Nick invited me for lunch.
It's a beautiful day for it.
With your complexion,
you must get a great tan.
they have to do skin grafts.
- Where'd you learn to sing like that?
- I'm sorry?
Your singing was beautiful.
My father. He was a professional
- What are you listening to?
- French tapes.
You're learning French?
- I like to learn new things.
- Me too.
- You speak it?
- French? Me? No.
I've always wanted to learn, though.
They say it's the language of love.
I'm not sure how much I love it.
But...
That is nice.
If you're interested,
I'll loan you these when I'm finished.
- That might be fun.
- What might be fun, sweetheart?
- Hi, baby.
- Bye.
Hi, Russell.
Au revoir.
What might be fun, sweetheart?
What might be fun?
Oh, Russell? He's got French tapes
he's gonna loan me. Be able to...
You barely know the guy.
You call him Russell?
I know him.
What's your problem with him?
I don't have one.
