F***ing dirty mooks.

Cocksuckers!

Is there one f***ing honest cop

in this f***ing city?

Joey.

Give me your gat.

Take this sh*t

and get rid of it.

And do me a favor--

don't f*** it up.

No!

Give, loser punk!

Never...dickwad!

Sorry. You OK?

Sh*t.

I didn't mean to do that.

Call now.

Hey, boss.

What are you doing there?

Whacking off

to the E! Channel again?

I just want to smell you.

Stay just like that.

You didn't call,

you son of a b*tch.

Let me guess.

Those are my pearls

you have been promising?

No. No, it's nothing.

Just a little recycling.

Joey, come on.

You are looking for trouble...

because if Tommy ever found out

about that--

Just remember it's just our little

insurance policy, all right?

because there's no way in hell

I am going to be thinking

about getting

some of this right here...

looking at you through

some glass window.

There's no f***ing way.

No, Joey, come on.

No, no, no...

No. No!

Come on, baby.

Baby, look. Look at me.

- What?

- Nicky's around.

No, Nicky's busy.

Come on, I will be quick

and real quiet. Come on.

Quiet? I don't think so.

Quick, I can believe.

You know something, Mrs. G?

- What?

- You're bad.

Yeah, yeah... Sure.

- I got a rep.

- Yeah? You got a rep.

- Yeah, some things--

- You got a crazy rep.

Teresa likes to make it

on washing machines.

On select occasions, yeah.

- No, no.

- What?

My sauce! My sauce is bubbling!

Wait, that's how I like it!

Yeah.

F***! Come on!

Hey! You use language

like that...

you ain't getting

no after-dinner dessert.

Go find Nicky.

I think he's up

in the bedroom with Oleg.

Why's he always

with that Russkie kid?

Don't he have no other friends?

Joey, you know, they get along.

It's fine. What do you want?

I don't want him going over there

no more, that's what I want.

I know. He knows.

He knows.

I will go get him.

Yo, Nick.

Dinner.

Sh*t.

Come on.

Get down.

Dinner.

Can Oleg stay?

Babe, it's already been

I am sure his mom would like

to have him home for a change.

It's OK. I am not even hungry.

I will see you tomorrow.

Go Razors.

You, go wash up.

Those hands are scary.

- Good night, Oleg.

- Good night, Mrs. Gazelle.

He's not even up there.

They turned the damn basement

into a sports complex again.

Well...

Come on, T, how many times

am I supposed to tell him?

Joe, what do you want?

They're just boys. They--

Dad, I won't do it again,

I swear.

Don't you expect me

to make book on that.

Now go get your grandfather.

I just washed my hands.

All right.

Hey, Nick.

Razors and Blues Friday night?

No way!

It's going to be a total deathmatch

between Chester and Erlich.

- They're going home in body bags!

- Red ice!

Hey... can Oleg come?

He's never been to one game, and--

No. No, not this time.

Sal can only score me

a pair of tickets.

Maybe next time, though.

Go get your grandfather.

Get up.

Get up.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Make it different this time.

Get up.

Get up.

I said, get up!

What is this?

Wolfgang Puck.

It's your favorite.

It's thick-crust...

you damn blyad.

I cut off crust for you.

It will be better.

Bring me another Moskova.

Hey.

Hey.

Come here.

Come here.

Come.

Watch this.

John Wayne in The Cowboys.

I don't like cowboys.

Come on.

It's the Duke.

Come. Sit.

When I was growing up

in Kishinev...

we had no VHS,

no DVD back then.

I remember...

I did a job for

this friend of my father.

I pickpocketed a key

off this apparatchik.

The man gave me as a reward...

this children's projector.

It came with 3 films--

Speedy Gonzales,

Tarzan of the Apes...

and John Wayne in The Cowboys.

I watched that thing...

a thousand times.

Anzor, it's getting cold.

I was 9 years old.

I didn't know how long

movies were supposed to be.

My version of The Cowboys,

it was only 10 minutes long.

No John Wayne getting shot.

Because it was for kids,

they left that part out.

I didn't know this...

until I arrive in America...

and see it on TV

for the first time.

I hate it.

I want my 8-millimeter back.

Because on that one,

the Duke lives.

Some things were better

in the old place.

Not too many. Some things.

Let me show you

from the beginning.

No, no...

Go forward.

This part's better.

Without the Duke?

Where are you going?!

You don't walk out on the Duke!

She said he's always distracted

and he never finishes his work...

and she wants to get him tested.

Wait, she wants to get him tested?

Tested for what?

I think maybe...

attention disorder or something.

I am not f***ing A.D.D.

Hey! You don't use that word

in front of your mother.

What's wrong with "A.D.D."?

The other one, smart-ass!

And he don't use that word, period!

I don't want to be on medication.

You can't make me take it,

because I won't.

No, no, Nick. You know what?

Don't even worry about.

There's no way in hell anybody's

going to put you on meds, OK?

T, why don't you tell

that teacher...

to come down to the rink

and watch him wax that puck?

That's perfect concentration

every time.

That's different, Joe.

We're just--we're just trying

to find out what's going on with you.

OK? Buddy, she said
