Yonkers Joe Page #3

- Hi, fellas.

- Hey!

Yeah.

Hey, Stan.

Hey, Joe.

Hey, this is Joe.

That's my kid.

I'm making belly

strippers for 30 years.

Some half-ass hustler is gonna

score big with this paper,

and me?

I get $12 a deck.

Well, I've heard it before,

Stanley, ok?

Hey! Get away

from there, please.

All right, just...

it's ok.

Just tell Stanley

you're sorry, all right?

Tell his mother to go

eat a bowl of c*cks!

My mother has been dead

for a very long time, kid.

Let's dig her up

and f*** the skeleton.

Oh, sh*t.

I'm sorry, Stanley.

I like him.

Listen to me.

Listen to me, ok?

You can't talk like this

to people, all right?

You're not

a kid anymore.

Just sit down.

Listen, I need a full line

of tops for the bait tomorrow.

What do you need?

and do me a favor.

Would you give me

the sand finish?

You know, the polished ones

are too slippery.

Yeah. In the cabinet.

Joe, I think I found something.

Two guys out of Miami.

They got a ton of money.

Perfect for the turn.

Listen, every time you want

to do something like that,

you know what happens,

you know?

These double-cross moves

always come back to haunt you.

Joe, listen to me.

These guys are rank suckers.

They go off big

in Vegas.

We can take down some

serious numbers here.

Yeah? Well, you know what?

I don't mind robbing

these guys.

I don't mind robbing anybody,

but I don't do it

with my mouth.

I do it with my hands,

all right?

I'll get that move.

Yeah,

someday, huh?

See these, kid?

These are tops, ok?

You know why

they call them tops?

They got no 5s, they

got no 3s, and no Aces.

You see?

We get away with it

Because you only see three

sides of the cube at once.

See that? Here.

I'll give you $20

If you can make

a 7 with these.

I think you're making

a big mistake here.

Maybe.

No, no, not maybe.

Definitely.

Maybe we can go

another way.

What do you mean?

The casinos

in Atlantic City,

What do they use to make the

dice glow, make the 7 light up?

Black light gel.

But you need an ultraviolet

lens or filter to see it.

You know, like the eye

in the sky.

Kid, come on, please.

Please stop that.

Can you get me

any of that stuff?

All right, forget it.

You know what?

What do I owe you

for the tops?

Ah, we're even.

Joe!

Please. It's ok.

Let him have it.

Go ahead.

All right, come on.

Here. I'll give you $20

for trying to make the 7.

I didn't make the 7.

That's ok.

Come on, let's go.

I'm sorry about the kid,

you know.

He's, uh-- I--

- See you later.

- Bye.

Just a sec!

Hey!

This is Big Joe.

Hey, Big Joe.

I'm Janice.

Hi.

- Hi. How you doing?

- Good.

We got some stuff

from Gino's.

Great.

Come with me.

Janice, this is a very

beautiful house.

Oh, thank you.

I have to use

the bathroom.

Oh, yeah, sure, sweetie.

Just straight down there.

Dad, I'm using

the bathroom.

All right. Go ahead.

So what's

the problem?

I need you to help me

do something, all right?

I got to convince this kid

to get into the group home.

Well, I don't know

what the big deal is.

He seems

very sweet to me.

- Sweet?

- Yes, sweet.

Sweet? He ran out

in the street naked,

he beat the sh*t

out of an orderly,

and then he told Stanley

to eat a bowl of c*cks.

It's not funny.

No. Well, Stanley needs

to eat a bowl of c*cks.

Listen to me. I am stuck

with this kid for 6 months

if I don't get him into

that home in a few weeks, ok?

It's not the end of the world.

Joe, it's--

What's your

address here?

It's 1524 Pelham Manor.

Excuse me.

You come sit down

and eat

right here in the chair

of honor.

Want a breadstick?

Yeah.

Let me serve you some...

Oh. This is my high school

grad ring. See?

Hey. Hey, you. Uh-uh.

You know, your father tells me

that you'll be graduating soon

from that place

where you live.

Yeah!

Come on,

hurry up and eat.

Chasing the shots

is running tonight.

Well, I don't think

I can make it tonight.

What? Are you

kidding me?

I've been waiting

He's a mudder

and it's gonna rain.

Well, the problem is

you make grocery money

and I blow the whole

bankroll.

So who says you have

to bet on every race?

Dad.

I can't bet one race.

I'm broke.

Dad!

What?

There's this guy and

he went to the doctor

and the doctor says,

"I have good news, I have bad news.

The good news--

the bad news is you have cancer

and you're

gonna die.

But the good news was

the nurse in the hall...

Um...the bad news was

the nurse in the hall--"

No, that's the good news.

Yeah.

"The nurse in the hall...

I'm f***ing her!"

Yeah,

"I'm f***ing her!"

He's a character.

# if you want to see her #

# tell her that you aren't

very far away #

# oh oh oh #

# we can't complicate it #

# make sure we say it #

# we have a love

we can't betray #

# I'm gonna find my way

to get to you #

# and make our dreams

come true #

# the road ahead of us

isn't far #

# ahh ah ah... #

Hey, Joe, want to bring

that music down?

Come on,

give me a break.

# you know I need you,

you know I love you #

Hello?

Mr. Duma,

it's Irene Santini.

Hello, Irene.

I just want

to let you know

That I spoke to the

administrators at the group home

and they've done everything they

can, but their quota is filled,

so it's not possible

to take Joe Junior on,

not in the time

that we discussed.

What?

I'm sorry.

I mean, come on, Irene,

he's doing so good.

He's not cursing

or anything.

The filing is done and it's

too late to begin the process.

You told me three weeks,

so what do I do now?

The next session for the group

home begins in the fall.

I told you, I can't

keep him here that long.

At this point,

there is simply no other option.

All right, what about

that place we talked about,

that Golden Gates

or something.

Oh, you mean,

the Golden Handle?

Right.

Like I mentioned, it is

a great deal of money.

What about if I'm willing to

pay the whole thing in one shot,

you know, for the year?

If that's what

you really want to do,

then I will pass on

my recommendation,

and I'm sure that

it will help.

Yeah. All right, thanks.

# used to be

all by myself #

# I needed someone else #

# to give me... #

You know, they grabbed

my picture at the casino.

Janice's too.

They got us on tape.

That's how you

discovered the gel, huh?

What were you,

playing to smear?

Ah, you know,

it don't matter.

They got you on tape,

you're f***ed.

They got us on tape

doing nothing.

Janice was just picking up

the dice and throwing it.

That's it. The tape

could prove that.

You know, and I could walk

into any casino I want.

I just can't take down

the money.

Joe, you're not thinking

about going back

to Atlantic City,

are you?

No, I'm not going

to Atlantic City.

I'm going to Vegas.

Vegas?

That's a whole other

ball of wax.

Security in Vegas is 10

times tougher than A.C.

That's right. And if A.C. has it,

you can bet that Vegas had it first.

You better believe it.

So if we're gonna

make a move,

I say we make a move in the spot
