haven't even looked at me.

I'm looking

at you now.

Buy me another?

Of course.

Last call!

I'm a-goin' down to the

cellar. You want the box on?

Now you

be good.

What's in

the cellar?

You don't

wanna know.

Hey, Crush, it's

time to go home.

Thank you.

Ooh.

So.

So.

What's your

story, cowboy?

You don't

wanna know.

Don't move.

Don't move.

For the next 15 minutes,

I'm gonna call you lollipop.

Any issues?

Okay, lollipop, I have

a very simple question.

I'm pretty sure

you know what it is.

Where is my cash?

That's it, that's it,

scream all you want.

You and I both know no one

can hear you in this room.

And from the

looks of things,

I'm sure all I have

left in life is time

and the pleasure

of your voice.

Oh, come on!

I got two kids, man.

I'll never have any.

Now where did

they hide my box?

They were wrong.

Now ask me

how come.

How come.

It's doesn't

take three licks

to get to the center

of a Tootsie Pop.

Now please, tell

me where my cash is.

Six... 66 Benning

Road, man.

They said

you'd know where.

Look me in the eye

and say that again.

Sixty-six Benning Road.

That's all they told me.

Bring your mouth

to the hole.

Bring your mouth

to the hole!!

I can't. It'll

kill me!!

Soda water

doesn't kill people.

I kill people.

Why?

I had a friend once.

She used to

call me Lobo.

How was she?

Sixty-six Benning Road.

My friend,

I'm from Libya.

We play football

with our feet.

I coach team.

Win six games.

How many quarterbacks

do you need?

You're not

from here.

Everyone from here,

even gay, love Redskins.

Oh. You're

a cowboy.

Hey, f*** you,

3. 95, you walk.

You're like me

with my wife.

That's why I talk

so much at work.

Crazy b*tch.

Nobody can get a

word in edgewise.

Hey, man,

I go to the movies.

I'm hip, I'm

cool, I'm down.

I'll be your

homeboy tonight.

Let me guess. You're a

drug dealer from New York.

And that

duffel bag is full of rocks.

You're going to sell

to M13. It's cool.

Who?

Ah! He speaks.

You know, M13. The,

how you say, gang.

The thugs.

It's beautiful tonight.

World War II memorial.

They haven't finished it.

There's only one way

for a war memorial to truly be finished.

Everyone dies.

When they were

planning to build,

the people, they

flight constantly.

"It's gonna destroy them all. "

"Put it next to Vietnam

or over by RFK."

How soon we forget

to honor the good and punish the wrong.

Don't you think?

Pull over here

on the bridge.

Right here.

For some,

It's hard to believe.

What's that?

That the people back there,

they have too much.

And the people, right

here, one mile away,

they have

not enough.

Pull over right here on the bridge.

I promised you

a good tip.

You better go.

Padre Nuestro, que

ests en el cielo...

santificado sea

Tu nombre...

I think we're all

prayed out, Sanchez.

Hey!

It'd be sweet

without the sour.

Nah. It wouldn't

be sour without the sweet.

You still ain't

figured it out yet, kid.

What's that?

You're still young.

You got time.

More fun figuring

it out on your own.

Yes and no.

Here we are,

in the middle of the biggest gang

war in the history of the world.

So I guess it wasn't about

defending Lady Liberty?

In the beginning.

You and I

both know, sir,

we gave up defending Lady

Liberty a long time ago.

You know, when we pull this

off, you guys have an out.

Why do you think I was so smiley

when we played shoot 'n tell earlier?

Right, then what?

Then back

to the D. C.

To the devil I know.

At least there,

on those streets,

I think I know who

the bad guys are.

What about you?

I don't know.

No!

May I help you?

Have you seen

those men before?

Is that

your daughter?

What can

I do for you?

I need you to get

under the counter.

So,

a great general is killed after a

long battle, by his enemy's sword,

he gets to the

gates of heaven,

he looks through and he sees

former presidents, kings and queens,

his parents, seated

at this long table.

Saint Peter approaches,

introduces himself,

the general asks him,

" How do I get in?

How do I walk through those gates?"

Saint Peter says, "Well,

you have to spell a word. "

The general asks,

"What is the word?"

St. Peter says,

"The word is 'love. "'

The general spells it and St. Peter

welcomes him in.

About a year later, St. Peter

comes up to the general and says,

"I need you to watch

the gates for me today. "

A little while later, sure

enough, he sees a man approaching,

he walks toward the gate,

so he recognizes his enemy,

the man who

killed him.

They talk for a minute,

his enemy apologizes,

and then he asks,

"How do I get in?"

The general thinks for

just a second, he says,

"You have to

spell a word. "

So the enemy asks,

"What is the word?"

The general says

'Czechoslovakia. '

Let's go.

I thought you'd

be bigger.

But I guess that's

the way it is with legends.

Reality's always less.

Who did it?

What difference

does it make?

Who did it?

The United States

government owes me that much.

We're soldiers.

We follow orders.

Hey.

Stay.

What are

you doing?

Stay!!

What do you

think I'm doing?

Trying to find a short-term

answer to a long-term problem.

You make that

call, you're dead.

Everybody you've ever

known, loved or talked to is dead.

I just saved

your life!

Yes, but you just

ended yours.

Those two men you

just shot are Feds.

I need bolt cutters.

Do you have bolt cutters?

And something flammable.

I need your help.

Alright, douse them.

Hey, these guys, they shoot

first and ask questions later.

In 10 minutes, we're

gonna look just like that.

Give it here.

Okay.

Okay.

C-

Z-

C-

H-

O-

S- L-O-

V- A-K-I-A.

Bodies?

Burning.

Well, I guess

that ends that.

For your sake,

I hope that's true.

I'm going to

make a call now.

Make him wait.

It's not my life

we're playing with.

He's asleep.

You wanna be the one

that wakes him up?

And by the

way... Johnny!...

you still answer

to me as well.

Taking in a flight this evening, sir?

Why not?

Yes, sir.

I need to get

out up there.

It's New

Year's Eve.

Some of us have people we

wanted to see at midnight.

We could, uh, we

could give you a lift.

Maybe in

another life. Sir.

Let's go, Johnny.

It's not too deep.

I'm gonna need you

to take this thing out.

If I do this...

I'll do everything in my

power to wash your hands.

Okay now, clear that table.

Clear that table!

Oh!

Lay down.

Hey, hey wait,

wait, wait.

Once you get it out, it's easy,

it's just like sewing a

patch on a pair of pants.

Yeah, right.

Hey! Hey! Hey.

Hey, oh, hey!

Whoa, what is that?

What is this?

Barrington's.

How old

is this?

I think 15 years.

Yeah, 15 years.

January 15, 1991.

Last time the Skins

won the Superbowl.

Hey, you better take a

swig to ease your nerves.

I haven't steadied

my nerves since 1991.

What color?

Gold.

I just realized, I

never got your name.

Sometimes they call me Mac.

What's yours?

Nice to meet you.
