Rob the Mob Page #8

---

Don't touch that money!

Fine, fine!

All right, you know what?

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here, all right?

This piece of sh*t is leaving

the f***ing building, all right?

I'm out of here.

I tried to do something nice.

You know what? F*** it!

I tried to do something nice!

Yeah, so is this going to be,

like, a big story?

You're going to...

For, like, the front page?

Well, you know, we got

a saying in the newspaper world.

I love sayings, slogans.

This is a good one.

This is a good story.

It's like a hot girl with a miniskirt,

you know?

I-I messed it up.

A good story is like

a miniskirt on a hot girl.

Okay. You want it long

enough to cover the subject,

short enough to be interesting

Oh, yeah!

I like that.

I didn't make it up,

but you know what I'm talking about.

All right, so Rosie?

Yeah, Rosie.

You're from around here?

Yeah, I grew up two blocks over.

Oh, I'm over at Elmhurst.

No kidding.

Yeah.

And Mom and Dad still here?

Still live here?

Yeah, my mother lives

in the house I grew up in.

And my father passed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Miss him?

Do I miss him?

Yeah, I miss him.

Yeah?

Yeah, so get this.

So when he got sick, he says,

"When I go, Rosie gets my car."

So when he died,

my mother and my brother

they want to sell the car.

Can you believe that?

And I said no,

because he loved that car.

You know?

Right.

Yeah, and then every Christmas,

we would take the car

into the city

to go and see the tree

and all the windows on Fifth.

Right. Yeah, that was,

like, our thing.

That's good.

So it's like the regular

things that I miss.

If you're going to...

Right, right.

And that's the car you use

to hit the clubs? What?

Is that the same car?

Yeah.

All right.

What about your friend?

Where is he from?

Oh, Tommy?

He ain't from around here.

Tommy. Tommy and Rosie.

Yeah, two M's, yeah.

What's Tommy like?

Oh, first of all, super handsome

Yeah, and he's like...

he's just like a genius.

So this was his idea then?

All this stuff?

One day,

I come home from work, Right.

And Tommy was thinking

these guys are a**holes.

No one is getting hurt,

so is it really a crime?

Yeah, well...

I guess that's something to think about.

What do you think?

You think it's a crime?

No, I don't.

That's probably don't make sense, huh?

No, I get it.

Yeah?

Yeah, I get it.

Not for nothing,

but I like the way you write. Oh, thanks.

All right, so Tommy and Rosie.

Yeah.

Tommy is how old?

29. Tommy!

This is Mr. Cardozo

from the newspaper.

I know who the f*** it is.

What the f*** are you doing?

What did you f***ing tell him?

I didn't say anything.

What did you tell him?

I assumed...

No, shut up.

No one is talking

to you, all right?

Pardon me, excuse me. Get the f*** out

there. We're just doing an interview.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

He's going to tell our story.

He's going to tell our story!

Listen to me.

Stop talking.

Sorry about that.

No.

Are you a cop, or working with

any law enforcement agencies?

No, not a cop.

I don't work with any associated agency.

I'm a reporter.

That's all I do.

Ask questions and say whatever you want.

That's a cute picture.

Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, we read your column.

So, uh... All right,

so how does this start?

Well, I'd like to ask

a couple of questions.

You know, how this works

is you don't want to answer,

You don't answer.

That's all.

I'm only going to write

what you tell me.

Well, what did she tell you?

She talked about herself.

You, I don't know

where you are from.

I'm from the Bronx.

From the Bronx.

Let me ask you...

can I ask you where did you two meet?

Where did we meet?

Yeah.

A party. A party?

We didn't meet at a...

What, you mean when

you were with jerk off?

Yeah, basically she was with

some jerk off at a party.

Ask him...

go ahead and ask him the next question.

Yeah, actually let's not talk

about that,

because, you know,

we don't have an anniversary

and the reason we don't have

an anniversary is because...

Let's not talk about that.

What's your next question?

You want to get married?

Are you serious?

Yeah, yeah, I'm serious.

I'm serious.

And you're not just f***ing

with me right now?

Baby, no.

I'm asking you...

will you marry me?

Yeah, all right.

When?

Well, I was thinking, you know,

Christmas is coming up.

I thought maybe we could get

married on Christmas Day.

Oh, my God.

I love that.

That's right.

Yeah, right?

No, it will be, like,

my two favorite days.

Like, Christmas

and our wedding anniversary.

That's what I was thinking.

It would be like a...

you know, like a twofer.

Yeah, like a twofer.

Yeah.

I was thinking that, you know,

we could get married,

and then maybe after that,

we could, I don't know,

move to Florida.

And what,

and open a flower shop?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, I mean,

I was thinking that.

You're right.

We could... we could do it, babe.

We could do it if we made

a little bit more money.

We could buy a shop.

We could live above the shop.

I mean, that's

a good life, right?

Yeah.

With your charisma...

And your charm.

And my charm, yeah.

Well, I never been to Florida.

Oh, Florida, it's paradise.

Really?

Yeah, they have palm trees.

Oh, yeah, right.

And coconuts.

And alligators

and air-conditioning

I mean, I haven't

been there myself,

but that's what I hear

is it's f***ing paradise

down there.

Oh, my God.

Wait, when will we go?

Well, what I was thinking was

get married, Yeah.

January first, go to Florida.

That's smart.

Yeah.

A new year for our new life.

Yeah, it will be

like a new life.

Call it a day.

A new year.

Newlyweds.

New everything.

Yeah, a new everything.

Start over.

Do you want to do it?

Yeah, I want to do it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It would make you happy?

Yes!

All right.

Yeah?

Yeah, let's do it.

You serious?

Yeah, we got goals.

You ended up getting awfully

friendly with those two.

All her words.

I just took notes.

I liked them.

He's a little out there.

He's on his own little planet. She could

make a fortune running a P.R. firm.

They're a couple of small-time

scumbags as far as I'm concerned.

With a couple

of brass ones though.

They did end up taking down

a pretty big fish.

What do you mean?

Not for publication yet, okay?

Okay.

But they got something

that we've been trying

to get our hands on

since J. Edgar ran the show.

They got something

hat's going to help us

take down Big AI

and the rest of the Vazallos.

And the final nail in the

coffin of the whole mob.

What have they got?

A list.

Joey D sends his regards.

Joey D? Joey D...

Oh, yeah, sure. Joey D.

Is he still building docks?

He remembers you, too.

He's got a lot of stories

about the old days.

A lot of names.

A whole list of them.

Yeah, well, he's a storyteller.

He's got a wild imagination.

How about that?

They're heroes.

What are you going to do?

What kind of deal

are you going to give them?

Deal?

Yeah, deal.
