Putney Swope Page #7

What do you really want to do?

Advertise garbage or do what's right?

Both.

The man's a genius.

Good people.

I tested them but they did not cop.

- You mean that whole scene was a put-on?

- That's right.

There's $8 million and change here.

Figure what's left

and divide it up equally.

Forget the messengers

and forget the Arab.

Beautiful, baby, beautiful!

Putney, if you want to push

cigarettes and booze...

- it's all right with me.

- That's right.

Putney, I don't care what you advertise,

as long as I get my raise.

Brother, if you want to advertise crap,

that's your prerogative.

- You're my man.

- That's right.

I'm with you, Put.

Whatever the hell you wanna do,

I'm with you.

You're a genius, Putney.

Do your thing.

Putney, I hear you're splitting up

the money equally.

- That's good.

- How did you find out?

- The drum.

- The drum should have told you...

- you ain't getting a penny.

- If I don't get my piece by sundown...

your ass is mine.

Hey! Do you have my bread, brother?

The man says you

gets nothing, Arab.

What? Man, you better get

your story straight.

What you talking about? The drum

says equal shares for everybody.

And everybody means me.

Don't you understand, mister?

So come out your dream world...

and get your story straight, man.

Before I get hot here...

and I have to tell my cousin

Sirhan Saran Wrap.

The man says you gets nothing.

You gets nothing.

The man say I get nothing.

Then I gets nothing.

- You got a light?

- Right.
