And when I see red, I tear you apart.
Sh*t. You think I'm scared of a little gun?
[BELICIC AND HUGSNY

MAN 1:

MAN 2:
Oh, God!MAN 3:
It's running.MAN 1:
What a night!MAN 2:
My leg...Christ, another one.
You really know how to mess up
an act, you know that, mister?
- You know what they call people like you?
- Fashionable.
- Get in there. Get in there.
- All right, all right.
Well, I guess that makes it you.
Look at you!
I could vomit.
- Jesus, Mary and Joseph, is that her mink?
- Yeah.
CARMINE:
All right, give it back.VIVIAN:
I don't want it.That's not my Gaetano.
I wanna go home.
- Okay, Gaetano, the jig's up.
- All right.
Take the crap off.
The wig, the glasses, the moustache,
the mink. Everything.
Okay.
I want you all to meet
my splendid brother-in-law, Gaetano Proclo.
That's not Mr. Proclo. He is.
- Who is?
- You are.
Who? Who?
[CARMINE GRUNTING]
PROCLO:
Keep it quiet.
I don't wanna hear that voice.
[VIVIAN CRYING]
Don't cry, viv.
"Don't cry," he says.
Look at him like that,
telling me not to cry.
Do you want your coat back?
Oh, look at my husband,
the man in the mink coat.
Oh, I can't wait to go to bingo
with you like that next week.
But I won't be there, if God is merciful...
...because I'm gonna have
This is grounds for annulment, sis.
I don't want an annulment, I wanna die.
[CHATTERING IN ITALIAN]
Vivian. Vivian, what are you doing?
You can't even swim. Don't.
Well...
...is this what you wanted, Carmine?
Boy, I can understand you hating me
as a brother-in-law...
...but killing someone
over a garbage company?
[CHATTERING IN ITALIAN]
You're married to a flaming homo,
that's perche...
[CHATTERING IN ITALIAN]
- He came here tonight, didn't he?
- A cab driver brought me here.
Because you told him to.
You see that, vivian? Even a cab driver
knows what a fata he is.
I just hope you're not gonna insist
on mentioning this in confession.
For my sake, for the children,
please, don't tell about this.
I wasn't planning to.
It's just a phase you're going through.
Last year, it was miniature golf.
How the hell do you prove something
like this to your own wife?
Okay, Carmine, I give up. You win.
Let him go. Let him go. Let him go.
Get off of me.
PROCLO:
Don't splash. Don't splash.
CARMINE:
Get out of here,you pest. Get out of here.
- Let's get out of here.
- Vivian, wait.
Don't you even speak to my sister.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Thirty-seven thousand, five hundred
on the week.
The rain killed us tonight, and next week
we got the Jewish holidays coming up.
Well, good night, boss.
Who is that?
Oh, it was just a person.
- She called you "boss."
- A lot of people call me boss.
It's not what you're gonna think, vivian.
"Vespucci Enterprises, Inc.
Carmine vespucci, president."
- This is a statement.
- I was gonna tell you about it.
VIVIAN:
We own this place?- Papa done a lot of expanding.
We own this place, Guy.
He don't have to know.
This isn't the place to talk about it.
You knew what kind of place this was
all the time.
CARMINE:
So did he. That's why he came here.
I can't help it if we own it.
It was just a coincidence.
- What kind of a cab did you come in?
- What?
What kind of a cab did you come in?
- It was the opera. Aida Cab.
- Aida Cab.
- We own that company.
- We do?
What did the driver look like, Guy?
- All I remember about him is his stutter.
- His stutter?
- Yeah, he stuttered and smoked pot.
- Cousin Tito.
I should have guessed.
It's gonna be very hard
to forgive you for this.
I don't want no forgiving.
VIVIAN:
Take the hit off of him, Carmine.- Vivian!
- Take it off.
- No.
If you don't, I'm gonna tell Frankie...
...about you muscling in on the bingo
at the feast of St. Anthony's.
And he is gonna put a hit out on you
and you're gonna be wearing cement shoes.
There's gonna be more grief and less peace
in our f***ing family than there already is.
- "Get Proclo." You heard Papa.
- I got Proclo. Now, take it off, Carmine.
I'll lose face.
- Not under the East River.
- Sh*t!
Now, I wanna see you two
forgive each other.
[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]
[PROCLO SCOFFING]
I wouldn't kiss him for a million dollars.
That's exactly what's it's worth, Guy.
- I wouldn't kiss him, period.
- For me. For me.
- Kiss. Kiss him.
- Hmm?
MAN 1:
Yeah.MAN 2:

Come on, kiss.
Hey.
VIVIAN:

[STAMMERING]
PROCLO:
Hey.MAN 1:
Hey.MAN 2:

Hey.MEN:
Hey!
[CARMINE SCREAMS
THEN GRUNTS]
[MEN CHEERING]
You can go
fangoo/ yourself, Carmine.
It's people like you
that belong in garbage.
It's people like me that just marry into it.
Get him out of here, men.
Into the steam room, girls.
[MEN SINGING]
CARMINE:
Hey, don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Hey, you get your hands off me.
ABE [o vER P.A.]:
Okay, everybody.
Tonight's talent contest has been won
by Claude Perkins and partners.
TIGER:
We're sorry, Googie.
You build someone up like that
and it's all a lie.
That is a low-down,
dirty trick you've made.
Hey, do you believe that?
They told me
Mr. Big was going to be here tonight.
Who's Mr. Big?
Who's Mr. Big?
Only the man who produces miracles.
A producer, who else?
- My uncle's a producer, Miss Gomez.
- Oh, yeah?
- What's he produce?
- Shows.
Legitimate shows?
I don't do no dirty stuff.
Right now, I think he's casting Oklahoma
for a dinner theater.
Oklahoma.
It's a stretch, but I could do that part.
Listen, you could get me
an audition with him?
- Oh, sure thing.
- Oh, good.
I tell you what,
I see you in Bimbi's across the street.
We run into my boyfriend, Hector,
we tell him you're my agent.
I see you two skunks later.
I thought you quit.
That's show business.
You really got an uncle
who's in show business?
Seymour Pippin. He's a producer.
Forget it, mister. Come on, Tiger.
CHRIS:
I suppose you're wonderingwhat happened to Bunny.
Entered her in the
Princess Margaret look-alike contest.
First prize is a gay guide to Leningrad.
We also called the 16th Precinct,
they'll be right over for him.
Hey, listen.
Thanks for helping me tonight.
Oh, you just let me know the
next time you three are coming in.
I wanna be sure not to be here.
If you're ever in Cleveland,
That's the best offer I've had all night.
- Who was he talking about?
- Carmine.
Oh, you gotta do something
for him.
Don't worry, I will.
VIVIAN:
Promise me?
