The Iceman

Mr. Kuklinski.

Do you ha ve any regrets

for the things you 've done?

You know, it's not very polite.

Ask a girl out for coffee,

you should have

something to say.

Like what?

I don't know.

You're the one

that asked me here.

So, what do you do

for a living?

I dub cartoons for Disney.

No way!

What's your favorite?

Cinderella.

Really?

Yeah.

What is that?

He, he used to be some sort

of devil, I think.

I don't know.

I was trying to look tough,

I guess.

How come?

Does it bother you?

Not at all.

You're, uh, you're a, you're

a prettier version of...

What?

Nah. No, what were

you going to say?

Um, uh...

You were going to say something.

What?

No. Nothing.

So, you got any family, or...?

Yeah, my sister and brother are

around somewhere, I guess.

What, you don't talk to them?

Not really. They're lousy

conversationalists.

Well, I guess it runs

in the family.

Most people I talk to don't

have nothing to say.

No, l... I didn't mean

anything. I just...

I get nervous

around new people.

I didn't mean you.

No? Okay.

You're a prettier version

of Natalie Wood.

I don't look anything like her.

To me, you do.

Cheers.

I thought it was bad luck to cheer

with water.

I don't believe in bad luck.

Oh, you're funny.

I hope so.

I'm sorry. My aunt is

always late.

You don't have to wait.

I don't mind.

I had a really good time.

I'm glad you insisted.

You mind if I call you again?

Please do. That would

be great.

Um, here she is.

Goodnight.

It's Earl, right?

What do you do?

I do business.

I'm a businessman.

Ask Terry.

He knows.

Yeah. He delivers,

uh, f***ing diapers.

What do you do?

Me and Ritchie,

we make porno movies.

Yeah, we dub 'em.

So, Terry, which one of these guys

dates that girl Deborah?

That'll be Ritchie.

Yeah?

Yeah, how do you know Deborah?

My friend Danny

went out with her.

Girl waited three weeks

to tell him she doesn't have sex

'til she's married.

Hey, Earl, have some f***ing

respect, okay?

It's his future wife

you're talking about.

I guess, if he's

desperate enough.

Ooh.

Yeah, I'm pretty desperate.

But, where there's a will...

Oh! Nice

shot, Ritchie.

There's a way, my friend.

Good shot,

Ritchie. Jesus.

Nice.

Whoa.

Where there's a will,

there's a way.

Unbelievable, man.

Good job.

Hey, what the f***

you think you're doing?

No, what is this, man?

Come on. What?

This a**hole turns you down,

so I take the bait?

Easy, Earl, you just

pay what you owe.

No, I'm not paying

you anything.

Put the money on the table.

Put that money on the table.

Trust me.

Take your money.

All right, go.

Go to your porn lab,

jerk off with your friends.

I'm going to f***

a real woman tonight.

Wow.

And good luck getting

your dick in her.

Take a walk.

It's not worth it, Rich.

Yeah, Ritchie,

don't sweat that.

Not worth it.

Come on, stack 'em up.

Ah!

Dr. Hunter, to Delivery, please.

Dr. Hunter,

to Delivery, please.

Mr. Kuklinski?

Yeah.

Your wife and daughter

are in recovery. They're doing fine.

Oh, thanks. Thanks.

Uh, can I see them?

Come with me.

All right.

They're in here.

Oh, wow.

They're asleep now.

Congratulations,

you're a father.

Yeah.

Ritchie.

What the f***'s the matter

with you? You still there?

We're still seven boxes short.

They called me twice already.

They're probably on the way over

there as we speak.

Don't we got any shoes to give,

it's the wrong date?

Roy Demeo is with them.

This f***ing guy is crazy.

Go home to your family.

Trust me on this. Okay.

Hang up the phone

and walk out. You hear me, Ritchie?

All right.

What's this guy's name?

Dino Lapron.

Lapron?

He's probably going

to accuse me of f***ing up the dates.

Did you?

What kind of question is that?

Yes or no?

Did you?

No.

Are you Lapron?

Excuse me?

You Dino Lapron?

That's not him, Roy.

Where's Dino Lapron?

He's not here.

Open the door. There's nobody

in here.

Just open the door.

Let's go.

You're coming.

Seen any good movies lately?

I don't really watch them.

I'm not into porn myself,

but I got to look out

for my customers.

What do you got for us?

Well, Dino had the date

for the 28th, you know?

We can't take the blame if you

change it last minute.

Hey. That's

f***ing bullshit.

That's not what I asked you.

We're seven boxes short.

Seven. We gotta adjust

the machines when they run all week.

If somebody would of told us

they needed the order

earlier we could have...

You like that? Huh?

You got something to say to me,

you say it to my f***ing face.

You f*** us and try

to act like a tough guy?

If I work all night they'll

be finished tomorrow.

Hey, look at me.

Stupid f***.

Tell me the truth.

Let's kill the f***ing guy.

F*** Lapron.

Put the gun down.

I didn't f*** nothing up.

I'll f*** you up. Come on.

I'll smack you

in the f***ing mouth.

What's your name?

Ritchie Kuklinski.

You know who I am?

Mm-hm.

So if I came down here,

I must have had a good reason.

I didn't say you didn't have

a good reason,

I said the date was...

If you want to complain

about life,

you're talking to the wrong

f***ing guy.

You'll have this done

by tomorrow? Yes?

All right, good.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Hey.

We're at the Gemini Lounge.

It's on Flatlands

near the parkway.

I'll drop the prints

off tomorrow.

It's got nothing to do with that.

Roy wants to see you.

Just be there.

There.

It's okay.

Well, what's Mommy

been looking at?

Four bedrooms.

Is this a private conversation?

Yeah, she's doing

all the talking.

Well, so don't mind me.

Did I wake you up?

No, I have to feed her.

Huh?

Oh.

So, what were you

two talking about?

She says she don't

like living here.

She wants a four-bedroom

in Dumars.

Well, she's got good taste,

our daughter.

Did you just get home?

Yeah, not long ago.

Hm. It's so late.

How was your day?

It was good. What happened

to your hand?

Eh, some jerk left some film

cans out,

I almost fell on my face.

So, what do we got here?

Oh, it's just Vice President

Nixon's house.

He just put it on the market.

You want to look at it?

Sure.

Why are you laughing?

If we could afford an apartment in Hoboken

I'd be happy, Ritchie.

No, you wouldn't.

You think I'm a spoiled brat.

No. You like to be

taken care of.

There's nothing

wrong with that.

I like the way

you take care of me.

Thank you.

Hey, the guy from the porn

lab's here.

You want me to bring him up?

Nah.

Let him wait.

Come here. Sit down, I want

to talk to you.

Yeah.

What is it?

You're really keeping that

mustache, huh?

Why, you don't like it?

Nah, it just doesn't seem like

it goes with your face.

Listen to me.

The word's come

to me from the city

that you're using

my name again, Josh.

No, l...

No, not really.

Not really?

No, it was just, it was just for

the Westies.

I didn't want to walk in there

for the deal,

and with them thinking I'm

nobody, Roy.

I'm not going to use Rosenthal.

It's too Jewish.

You don't respect yourself to use
