your own name?

That only makes you look weak.

Listen to me. You and I, we have

a history together.

That means something to me.

It means something to me, too.

Yeah?

It won't happen again.

All right, let's go see what this guy's

made of. Come on.

Let's take this guy for a ride.

Kulinski? Kolinsky?

Josh, pull over here.

So... Kulinksi?

Kolinsky?

How, how do you

say it? Who?

Kuklinski.

Kuklinski? With a... with a K? Or is,

what is that?

A C or a K?

A "K."

"Ski." That's a "ski", "skis" are Polish,

right? You're a Polack?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Get away from the car.

Get away.

Can you spare some change?

Get away.

Take a walk!

Would it kill you

to give me a dime?

Hey! Scumbag!

Scicoli, here's a quarter.

You should go give it to him.

Go give it to him.

What?

Guy's not going to last

an hour in this weather.

He's a f***ing' reefer addict.

Have some heart. It's the holidays.

Come on, Roy, why do

I got to freeze for a f***ing skivatz?

Here, give me the quarter.

I'll give him the quarter.

I'll give him the f***ing quarter.

F***ing give him a holiday quarter?

The f***ing skivatz.

Kuklinski.

Kuklinski.

There you go!

Okay, I gave him the quarter.

Don't you feel

better about yourself?

Yeah. You did something

nice for somebody.

That's the f***ing spirit.

Look at that.

F***ing guy's cold as ice.

Come on, you got to feel

something for somebody.

Got a girlfriend?

I'm married.

Then why do you act

like you don't give a sh*t?

What do you want?

I'm closing the porn lab.

Sorry, but you're out of a job.

If you could follow orders,

you got everything to gain.

Go put the bum

out of his misery.

If you don't have it in you,

now's the time to say it.

God almighty.

You got big hands.

Are you a lumberjack

or something?

No, I'm Polish.

Mind if I sit down?

It's your ass. Put it where

you want it.

No.

What the f*** is this?

What's he doing now?

Shut the f*** up.

Just give him a second.

Actually, I will have a drag.

What are you smoking? Camel...

Come on.

You all right?

Yeah.

Not that big of a deal, is it?

I know nobody forced

you to do anything

but, I'm going to need a guarantee

of your loyalty.

Give me the gun.

This is for you.

What you're going

to be doing is

you'll be watching my back.

You'll be collecting debts,

sending messages,

whatever the messages are.

But if I need you, Scicoli or Josh here is

going to get in contact with you.

And payphones only.

Now, you're going to deal with whatever

we can, for whatever reason.

You're only going to work

for me, nobody else.

You understand?

Sure.

Puh... please.

I got some money upstairs.

I beg of you, please?

Please?

Anything you want.

Anything, just...

I give thanks for my

beautiful wife, Deborah.

She means the world to me.

And she's carrying our baby.

Hey, honey.

Hi.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

Hi, Dad.

Take this.

Thank you.

Is that everything?

Yeah.

Perfect.

Yeah.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

How was school?

It was good.

That's good wine, isn't it?

For that price, it better be.

So how'd you guys meet?

You two?

Oh, we met on a boat.

Really?

Yeah. Like, big yacht,

one of those big fancy boats?

The one you can eat and drink anything

you want on?

So I'm in the bath

and I hear this voice

from this other stall, right?

A little mousy voice.

Oh.

And it goes, "Excuse me?"

"Excuse me? Is there somebody

in the other stall?" I was locked in.

Yeah, right. If you ask me, she

followed somebody in there.

There was a huge line

for the girls room.

How'd you meet Ritchie?

Uh, it, it doesn't compare

to the bathroom story.

I think it's pretty good.

Yeah?

Yeah, tell us.

Come on.

All right. Uh, I was working

across the street

and, uh, Ritchie would come over

every break he had

and he would bring me

flowers and candy.

And then it got really awkward,

because I didn't

know who he was.

And I started just making any excuse

I could to say no

and then one day, out of the blue

he walks in

and he tells me

I'm making a big mistake.

And I didn't know what to say,

because he seemed so convinced.

So I went out with him.

All because he wouldn't

leave you alone?

No.

Because, he knew what

I needed more than I did.

And now look at him.

He goes from dubbing cartoons

to international banking.

It's currency exchange.

Cartoons? Is that what you

call porn these days? Porn?

You're going to have

to excuse Terry as an idiot.

When me and Ritchie

weren't looking

he was using the equipment

to make porn for Adele here.

I don't think there's

anything wrong with it.

I mean, a little porn

is healthy now and then.

You guys are all perverts, okay?

Hey, look at these.

These are our girls.

Ah, look how much they've grown.

That's, um, Anabel,

and that's Betsy.

So beautiful.

Now, Ritchie...

Oh, they're gorgeous.

Yeah.

What's currency exchange?

That's when he watches the

market, like everybody else,

and he looks for trends. Okay.

Like, um, natural

disaster or typhus,

then he takes

advantage of inflation.

And waits.

Is that right?

That's pretty good.

Pretty good.

You got all

the inside information?

No. Vendor makes

the decisions.

He's the one who pays me.

In Valentino suits?

Uh, it's Bloomingdale's.

Hey, this is actually...

This is genuine Chinese silk.

It's nice, right?

Did you pick it out for him?

Absolutely not.

It's a nice shirt, Terry.

Shows off your hair.

Thank you. I spent a lot

of money on this sh*t.

That is pretty awkward.

That was really excellent.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Keep the change.

See us again, sir.

You got dinner? Yeah,

no skin off my nose.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So what do you think?

About what?

Olivia?

She's all right.

What is that supposed to mean?

Uh, you seem happy enough.

I'm happy for you. Okay.

What do you want me to

say? She ain't my type.

Well, I'm sorry you had

to be seen with us.

What's your problem, Dino?

Forgot already?

You couldn't even talk to a girl

unless I made the first move.

I suppose. You're my

best friend, Ritchie.

That's true. So I just

think about you all the time.

I wonder how you're

doing, how your family is.

You know, I used

to take care of you.

Now I have to call your wife

every time I want to see you? Really?

I'm doing great.

All right, that's good. I'm sorry.

Look, I, really, I'm sorry.

It's just that I miss you, you know?

It's okay.

Yeah.

Can I have a hug?

Give me a hug.

A hug? Jesus Christ. Why

are you hugging my husband?

My best friend?

Where did Olivia go?

She's in the restroom.

She's all locked in there. Really?

Try it.

It's the purest sh*t

you can find.

It's good.

Like I told you.

Same deal we spoke about?

Yeah, unless you want to

give me more money. No.

Here.

We should count it.

Oh! Oh!

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, sh*t.

Mom? Betsy woke

me up. Son of a b*tch.

Uh...

Go back to bed.

She had a bad

dream. This is not fair.

Oh.

Hold on.

Hm.

All right.

What the hell is going on?
