- Get the necklaces.
Go. Go.
Hey, fuckface.
What's wrong with that one?
- Uh, nothing.
It's got a thing. That's all.
- What thing?
- A what do you call it?
Like, you know, an engraving.
- So what.
- So you can't sell something-
that's got somebody's name on it.
- What are you, the f***ing
stolen goods monitor?
- No, I'm just saying
that you can't sell it if it's-
- take it; I don't give a sh*t
whose name's on it.
- Come on, danny; It's
somebody's birthday cross, man.
What the f***?
- Don't waste my time.
If you don't got the balls-
- look, I'm not gonna take
this one, okay?
- Then get the f*** out.
- What?
- You're f***ing useless.
- You asked me for a favor.
- You're my brother.
I'm doing you a favor.
Now get out.
I'll do it on my own.
Hey,
go the way we came in.
Leave the flashlight,
a**hole.
I should have known better.
- Yeah, me too.
- # oh I got into a fistfight #
# on my first day of school #
# oh I came home
with a fat lip #
# and a blackened eye to boot #
# oh it seems
the local bullyboy #
# oh he didn't like me much #
# when he knocked me down
I got right up #
# oh what else could I do #
# oh I came home to my old man,
told me what I had to do #
# 'cause tomorrow
that same bullyboy #
# be waitin' there for you #
# oh there's good
and there's bad #
# in this world
that we live in #
# I'm tellin' ya son #
# I'm tellin' ya son #
- # oh believe what you feel
not what you heard #
# I'm tellin' ya son #
# I'm tellin' ya son #
- # I met a girl at 16 #
# and she broke my heart
in two #
# oh I learned to drink at 17,
had my first woman too #
# oh the times
they were a-changin' #
# and my old town I outgrew #
# had to see the world
and live my own life #
# so many things I had to do #
# well I quit my job
at the cannery #
# and saved a buck or two #
# oh I knew I'd miss
old mom and dad #
# well it's what I had to do #
- When are we gonna get
some more es, whitey?
- People get the idea.
They don't need to see
every f***ing letter.
- You seem crankier
than usual today.
- We cleared 3 grand
on this chuck berry thing,
but it's only gonna
keep us going for a month.
- I'll find us another act.
from yesterday
that would come and play
for a lump sum.
- Well, I'm running real low
on lump sums,
especially with a shylock
up my ass.
- Maybe we'll get one of
the big movies at christmas,
run it for a couple of weeks.
- If we make it till then.
- We've got to advertise.
Look at this.
There's two pages
for the rolling stones
at madison square garden.
It's the first tour
with ron wood.
- Who the f*** is ron wood?
Sounds like a porn star.
- The new guitarist.
You know, it wouldn't kill you
to stay up on that sh*t.
- That's what I got you for.
Besides, the rolling stones
have all kinds of money.
They can afford to advertise.
We can't.
Hey,
see if you can get buddy holly.
He was big once.
Now he's not doing sh*t.
- That's 'cause he's dead,
whitey.
- Well,
that's no good.
They got to at least be alive.
- You really have your finger
on the pulse of today.
You seen it?
- Seen what?
Yeah,
f***in' freak show.
They'll play a week,
never be heard from again.
Stop bustin' my balls
and get back to work,
you little sh*t.
and the rest of the time movies.
- So you think up the ideas,
and he makes the money.
- It's not like that, ma.
He throws me a little
something extra when he can.
He's barely hanging on as it is.
- So you're really
on the ground floor
of something fantastic here.
- We're gonna turn
that theater around.
- You should turn around and get
yourself a serious line of work.
- I like what I do.
- You like it.
What's that have to do
with a job?
- Sorry, I lost my head there
for a second.
- You need benefits,
job security, a pension.
You got a good
catholic school diploma.
You're gonna throw it all away
on a movie theater
owned by a guy named whitey?
- People are always gonna want
to see movies, ma,
not just on tv,
in theaters.
- Eat.
- It's too hot.
- No, it isn't.
- It isn't?
The only thing missing
are the firemen.
- Where's danny?
Should I put something out
for him?
- Sure, you should put out
the fire in this soup.
- That's very funny, brian,
tonight, very funny.
Maybe you'd rather wear
your dinner.
- Hey.
What's up?
- Dinner's ready.
- Mmm, pork chops.
What a surprise.
- I'm going to
the butcher tomorrow.
- Uh-huh.
- I'll get some chopped meat.
- Hey, brian.
What do you call
an irish seven-course meal?
- A six-pack and a potato.
- Oh.
That's not funny?
- I heard it.
- Gets a laugh at clancy's
every time.
Where's the other guy?
- Out.
- Yeah, I can tell he's out,
because he's not here.
He's out where?
- I don't know.
- Paddy, just-just eat
before it gets cold.
- There's no chance
of it getting cold.
- There's a chance you'll
be making your own dinner
from now on.
- Hey,
let's not get hysterical.
- You don't know where
your own son is?
- He's old enough for me
to not know where he is.
- I don't give a damn
how old he is.
He's living in my house.
Tell him as long
as he's living here,
I want to see his ass
in that seat at dinnertime.
I'm not running a hotel here,
and tell him to get
his hair cut.
You got a problem?
- What?
- Something you want to say?
- Paddy, just eat.
inside that brain.
It's like I've got an alien
living here
or something like that.
Hey, big bri,
how are things on planet pansy?
Ah, come on.
Come on.
Laugh, get pissed off,
something.
Show me you've got some stones.
Maybe you're adopted.
I don't know.
- Dad.
- What?
- Don't.
That's very...
- What?
[Michael campaga
and the average johnsons'
off to see the wizard]
- Come on. We gonna follow
the yellow brick road.
Here we go.
# well I'm off to see
the wizard #
# get my business fixed #
# with all the problems I got #
# I'm gonna need
a wizard's tricks #
# lord it's all I ever seem
to do #
- When I tell them to be
at the table for dinner,
you better make sure
that they're there.
- Tell them yourself.
- I will.
I'm laying down the law
right now.
- # 'Cause you know the people
with all the money #
# puttin' a scare
on people like me and you #
# well I'm going down
to the 7-eleven #
# yeah I'm gonna play
the lottery #
# even though you know
I know you know I know #
- Hey, f*ggot.
Don't worry about it.
That one sucked anyway.
Is the old man looking for me?
- Yeah.
- Got something for you.
- What's this?
- What do you think?
- I thought you fired me.
- Look, I made a good deal
with jimmy cheeks.
I'm giving you half.
Don't bust my balls.
And don't take everything I say
so f***ing serious.
Let me ask you something.
What good are all these
f***ing drawings?
I mean,
what can you do with them?
Can you sell them?
- Probably not.
