And he knows how to treat a woman.

All right?

- He knows how to treat a woman?

- Yes.

By taking her to the toilet

to make out?

You've been a great audience.

I got a special treat for you.

Here's a guy I found in the jungle.

From Caracas, Venezuela.

He's unlike anything you've seen.

Give a warm Babylon welcome

to the one and only Octavio!

Look around. Go out with someone

who has something on the ball...

- who's going somewhere in life.

- Like who?

For instance, someone who's got

a real job, like a banker.

Or, or a doctor, a lawyer...

What about you?

- What are you talking about?

- Why don't you take me out?

Are you crazy?

I see the way you look at me,

Manolo.

Do you think I'm blind? I see.

Come on.

What?

Look, Gina...

Tony and I are like brothers,

all right?

You're his kid sister.

- So what?

- That's where it ends.

- That's where it stays.

- Are you afraid of Tony?

- You afraid of Tony's kid sister?

- I'm not afraid of anybody!

That's not the point here!

It's not for me. Don't look at me.

How do you know?

'Cause I'm not here.

Really? Then where are you?

Sh*t, you're weird.

- I'm weird?

- Hello?

Hello, Miriam?

Tony!

Put Manny on, okay?

Okay. Just a second.

It's Tony.

What are you doing,

checking up on me?

Get your clothes on and meet me...

in front of Lopez Motors

in 45 minutes.

What? What happened?

Nothing we can't face.

All right. I'll be there.

You're still on the phone. Let's go.

Take it easy, okay?

I'm leaving now. F***.

Nick?

Yeah, Tony.

This is what

I want you to do for me:

You call Lopez.

Call him at his office

at 3:
00 sharp.

And you tell him:

"We f***ed up, he got away."

Okay. Yeah.

Got it? What're you going to say?

"We f***ed up. He got away."

What time?

So when are we gonna make

some money on this thing?

Six months to start

don't mean sh*t, Larry.

I'm not a Rockefeller, you know.

Not yet, anyway.

So you owe me.

Listen, go down

to the ball game tonight.

I couldn't make it. I got things.

I'll tell you about them.

You're kidding? What was the score?

Three to two?

Mel, guess what?

My Little League team,

the Little Lopezers...

they won the division tonight.

That's great. Congratulations.

What'd you do, fix the umpire?

Jesus Christ.

Tony, what happened to you?

They wanted to spoil my $800 suit.

Who the f*** did this?

Hitters. I don't know.

Somebody must've brought them in.

I've never seen them before.

Hello, Mel.

Got an answer to this, too?

There always is, Tony.

I'll bet it was the Diaz brothers.

They got a beef going back

to the Sun Ray thing.

Maybe you're right, you know?

Anyway, I'm glad you made it, Tony.

We'll return the favor for you,

in spades.

I'll take care of this myself.

What is the gun for, Tony?

What, this? It's nothing.

I'm... How do you say? Paranoid.

You gonna answer, Frank?

It must be Elvira.

She got mad after we left the club.

I'll tell her you're not here, okay?

No, it's all right.

I'll talk to her.

Hello.

It's all right. I'm gonna be home

in an hour. Don't worry.

Frank, you're a piece of sh*t.

- What are you talking about?

- You know what I'm talking about...

you f***ing cockroach.

What are you talking about?

Listen to me.

You know what a chazer is, Frank?

That's a pig

that don't fly straight.

Neither do you, Frank.

Tony, why the f*** would I hurt you?

I brought you in.

So we had a few differences,

no big deal.

I gave you your start.

I was the one who believed in you.

I stayed loyal to you.

I made what I could on the side,

but I never turned on you, Frank!

Never!

But you...

a man who ain't got his word

is a cockroach.

Mel. Do something, will you?

It's your tree, Frank.

You're sitting in it.

All right, Tony. I was the one.

Please, give me a second chance.

Will you do that? Please?

Give me a second chance.

I'll give you $10 million.

Okay? $10 million.

I got it in a vault

over there in Spain, Tony.

We go over there,

we get on a plane, and it's yours.

Okay? All of it. $10 million.

Okay, Tony?

Please, Tony?

Elvira? You want Elvira?

You can have her. I'll go away.

I'm gonna disappear.

You'll never see me again.

Please, Tony, I don't want to die.

I never did nothing to nobody.

No, you never did nothing to nobody.

You had somebody else do it for you.

Tony, I'm begging you.

- Get up! Get up now!

- Jesus! No! God!

Look. Tony, no!

Don't kill me, please.

I won't kill you.

- Christ, thank you.

- Get off my foot.

Thank you.

Manolo, shoot that piece of sh*t!

No! No!

Every dog has his day, Mel?

I told him...

it didn't make any sense...

clipping you when we had you

working for us. He wouldn't listen.

He got hot tonight about the broad.

He f***ed up.

You, too, Mel. You f***ed up.

Don't go too far, Tony.

I'm not, Mel. You are.

F***. You can't shoot a cop!

Whoever says you was one?

Wait a minute!

You let me go. I'll fix this up.

Sure, Mel.

Maybe you can hand yourself...

one of them first-class tickets

to the Resurrection.

F***ing punk! Son of a b*tch!

- So long, Mel. Have a good trip.

- F*** you!

- Okay, come on.

- What about Ernie?

You want a job, Ernie?

- Sure, Tony.

- Okay, then you call me tomorrow.

Man, you got a job!

Tony! Thanks.

God, what's happened?

Where's Frank?

Where do you think?

Come on. Get your stuff.

You're coming with me.

So you come to me

with some kind of thing. Okay.

You propose it, I talk to you.

But we got a problem.

I can't pay more.

I'm bringing in twice as much

as I ever did before.

We're doing $10 million,

$15 million a month. Come on.

That's serious money.

You bank boys gotta come down a bit.

No way.

- That's crazy. We can't do that.

- Then that's too bad.

- What am I gonna do?

- We're not a wholesale operation.

We're a legitimate bank.

The more cash you give me...

the harder it is for me to rinse.

That's a problem. I didn't know.

The fact is, I can't take any more

of your money...

unless I raise the rates on you.

- You gonna raise the...

- I gotta do it.

The IRS is coming...

Don't give me that sh*t! Let's talk.

I'm talking.

I go low, you go high.

I know the game.

- This is business talk.

- Let me explain something.

The IRS is coming down heavy

on South Florida.

There was a Time Magazine story

that didn't help.

There's a recession.

I got stockholders

I got to be responsible for.

- I got to do it, Tony.

- You'll learn from him.

I got to go 10% on the first

$12 million in denominations of 20.

I'll go 8% on your $10 bills...

6% on your fives.

- We'll go somewhere else.

- That's it.

- There's no place else to go.

- F*** you, man! F*** you!

I'll fly the cash myself

to the Bahamas.

Once, maybe. Then what?

You'll trust some monkey

in a Bahamian bank...

with 20 million

of your hard-earned dollars?

Come on, Tony. Don't be a schmuck.

Who else can you trust?

That's why you pay us so much.

You trust us.

Did you hear that guy?

You got to listen to him.

You'll learn something.
