Stay with us.

You're a well-liked customer.

You're in good hands with us.

And I got to run.

I'm safe but poor.

- How's married life treating you?

- Better than you are.

Say hello to the princess for me.

She's beautiful.

I'll see you. Take care.

You, too.

That prick!

F***ing WASP whore.

Talking to me like I'm some maricn

who came over on a boat.

I tell you what. We don't need

that smiling motherf***er.

We should talk to this Jewish guy,

Seidelbaum, okay?

He's got his own exchange.

He charges 4% at the most.

And he's connected.

F*** them. Mob guys. Guineas.

I don't trust them.

Did you sweep the house this month?

The cars?

Yeah, I told you about it.

The $5,000?

- Look at that.

- What?

That cable truck there.

Since when does it take three days

to rig a cable?

What? You been watching it

for three days?

The thing has been there

for three days.

What am I gonna do, not look at it?

- What, you think it's cops, right?

- I don't know.

Could be the Diaz brothers,

coming to get me.

- Maybe. I'll check it out, okay?

- You check it out.

Then we're gonna blow

that f***ing truck back to Colombia!

Come on. We're not the only dopers

living on the block.

Okay? Remember that.

That truck could be anybody

and anything.

It could be a cable company...

You know something?

You got some f***ing attitude.

For someone who's in charge

of my security...

Here are the keys to the front door.

Go down there. Give them the keys!

I'm just trying to say something.

You're spending a lot of money

on this counter-surveillance.

I don't give a f***.

It's 12% of our adjusted gross.

I don't give a f***!

It makes me sleep good at night.

That's what counts.

- Okay? You worry about it.

- I am worried about it.

I'm telling you.

We're getting sloppy.

Our thinking, our f***ing attitude,

you know?

We're not f***ing hungry anymore.

Miami's changing.

You can see it everywhere.

New construction. New jobs.

Growth that's financed

by Florida Security Trust.

We've put your money to work

for 75 years...

building a more prosperous Miami.

Count on us being here tomorrow.

That's because for 75 years

you been f***ing everybody.

Somebody should do something

about those whores.

I mean, charging me 10 points

on my money.

They're getting away with it.

F***, there's no laws anymore.

- Forget it.

- Anything goes.

They been around 1,000 years.

They got all the angles figured out.

You know what capitalism is?

Getting f***ed.

True capitalist if ever I met one.

Did you hear that?

How would you know, bubblehead?

You ever do nothing

besides get your hair fixed...

and powder your nose?

Look at you.

You do too much of that sh*t.

Nothing exceeds like excess.

- You should know that, Tony.

- I should know what?

What should I know?

Why do you have to talk to me

like that all the time?

- Like I got to know something.

- Let me talk to you.

Listen.

What time is it?

This Seidelbaum.

Okay.

I met with this Seidelbaum...

The drug-related violence

that's plagued South Florida...

He's good for a laugh, this guy.

With a small law-enforcement

budget, how can you put a dent...

on an estimated

$100-billion-a-year business?

It seems at times all you can do...

is put your finger in the dike

and pray.

Put your fingers in a dyke?

The only place

you can get your fingers...

is in some dyke.

Not by outlawing the substances,

but by legalizing and taxing them.

These voices say that will drive out

the organized crime element.

I am not one of those voices.

I know that. But you know why?

'Cause you got your head

up your culo, that's why.

That f***ing guy,

he never tells the truth.

... splendor of our city

at its best.

It's those guys, man!

It's the f***ing bankers,

the politicians...

they're the ones

that wanna make coke illegal!

So they can make the f***ing money,

and then get the f***ing votes!

They fighting the bad guys.

They're the bad guys!

They f*** anything and anyone.

Can't you stop saying "f***"

all the time?

Can't you stop talking about money?

It's boring, Tony.

Where's this coming from?

Boring? What's boring?

You're boring.

"Money."

That's all I hear in this house.

Look at these pelicans fly.

Come on, pelicans!

- Here it is.

- Frank never talked about money.

That's 'cause he was so smart.

You know what you're becoming?

You're an immigrant spic millionaire

who can't stop talking...

Who the f*** you calling a "spic,"

you white piece of bread?

Get out of the way of the TV!

Dig a hole in the yard,

bury it, and forget about it.

I work hard for this!

I want you to know that.

Somebody should've given it to you.

You would've been a nicer person.

Know what your problem is, pussycat?

What is my problem?

You got nothing to do

with your life.

Why don't you get a job

or something?

Do something. Be a nurse.

Work with blind kids, lepers.

That kind of thing.

Anything beats lying around all day

waiting for me to f*** you!

Don't toot your horn, honey.

You're not that good.

No? Frank was better?

You're an a**hole!

Where you going? Come here!

Elvie!

I was kidding!

I was only kidding!

I guess sometimes married life

is not all it's cracked up to be.

- Where you going?

- I got a date.

You got a date? Come here.

- What?

- This Seidelbaum thing.

Yeah, it's all set up.

Yeah, well, you forget it.

Stay out of it.

I'll take care of it.

Stay out of it? It's my deal.

I set it up.

You're not a negotiator,

Manny, you know that.

You like the ladies

more than the money.

That's your problem.

What the f*** are you talking about?

I'm your partner, okay?

If you don't trust me

with that kind of thing...

who're you gonna trust?

Junior partner.

Bullshit, man.

Don't talk to me about trust,

I don't like it.

You should listen to your wife.

She's right.

You are an a**hole, man!

Come here. Give me a kiss.

Come here.

F*** you, man!

Who put this thing together?

Me! That's who!

Who do I trust? Me!

F*** him. "Trust."

A**hole. F*** called me an a**hole.

I need that sh*t.

I don't need him.

I don't need her. F*** them.

I don't need nobody.

Back then I worked in pictures

down in Colombia.

I was in that movie Burn.

You ever see it?

You saw me with Marlon Brando?

You know, we're good friends.

- I was his driver.

- No sh*t?

- Brando.

- They shot it there. Cartagena.

Gillo Pontecorvo.

He was the director.

Italian guy.

- Tell me about him.

- I also know Paul Newman.

- I worked with him in Tucson.

- No kidding?

Do you know Benny Alvarez?

In Tucson. Benny Alvarez?

- Subtotal.

- No?

He's a nice guy.

$283,107.65.

You want a company cheque here?

I got $284,600.

That's just not possible.

The machine don't make mistakes.

- Let's count it again.

- No. Come on.

Business is business. Come on.

You're talking $1,500 here.

Okay, you keep the change.

Okay? I don't give a sh*t.

- I'll count it again for you.

- No, come on.

This cheque here,

where does this check go?
