Yonkers Joe Page #4

where we can grab the most money,

and that's Vegas.

Move? What move?

Even if you can get

the dice into the game,

how are you gonna get

them back out again, huh?

A table gets hot,

every rat spotter

and high-line surveillance

device is gonna be on you.

And on top of that,

they got cameras,

they got tape

everywhere.

No one can overcome that.

No one.

Look, Joe, Joe.

Why are we f***ing around here?

Why don't we just turn these

two schmucks from Miami?

It's a sure thing.

We don't have to take

any chances.

It's not a sure thing.

And I need money now.

You get me that black light gel

and I'll come up with something.

All right.

Here we go, my boy.

You stick with Teddy, you'll learn plenty.

Your daddy's got a set,

let me tell you,

monkey balls.

You're gonna knock all five

of these levels into the game

in one shot.

Uh, levels or fronts

are square dots,

which means there's

nothing wrong with them.

We got to get them in so your daddy

can match them up with the tops.

And the tops is what

gets us the money.

We just got to

dirty them up.

Come on.

Now shake 'em up.

Shake 'em up real good.

Yeah, real good.

Come on.

That's good.

Now, you see, now they look more

like the one's they're using.

Who's got the rest?

All right, come on.

I'm laying it down. I'm laying it.

Come on, I'll lay 150.

Come on, put it down.

Bring it there.

Clean it up, boys.

I'm laying he ain't

making it.

Come on, who wants

a lay in?

You're laying 120.

Well, look who's here.

It's aces full.

Hey, Mickey, where you at?

I hope you brought your checkbook.

I'm just jocking,

just jocking.

What you doing here?

Me? What the f*** are

you guys doing here?

I bought a row of

tickets from Benny.

I do it every year.

Got to support the locals.

Benny who?

You guys want to

dance, go find a dance floor.

I'm here

to play dice, ok?

Who's in the middle?

There's 100 open. Let's go.

Yeah, I'm a really

good dancer.

I know you are.

- Who's he?

- That's my son.

Looks just like you.

That's me. 7 away.

All right, come on.

All right, there's 300 in.

I'm good. Let's go.

I'm in for 100.

I'm laying in.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on.

All right.

Come on, come on.

Let me have the dice.

Ok. All right.

You ready?

Coming now.

Come on, baby. 6.

Ok, here we go.

Here we go, here we go.

Smack 'em, guys,

smack 'em.

I'm laying 200.

Ok, put it down.

Here we go.

Get out of here,

will you?

Get him out

of here.

That's money.

Winner, gentlemen!

A winner!

He may be fat and ugly, but

he sure can throw them bones.

$200 coming out.

Come on, I got 200

coming out.

You want to change this

for me?

Come on, come on. Don't hold

me up here. Give me the dice.

Let's go.

This guy's got bad dice.

What?

What are you

talking about?

Let's see your pockets.

Get your f***ing

hands off me.

This guy's got extra

dice on him.

What are you, f***ing crazy?

I'm out of here.

He's a cheat and these

other guys are with him.

Yeah, I'll bet he's afraid

to go to sleep at night

thinking somebody's

going to steal his shoes.

Shut up!

I got nothing in my

pockets, fellas, all right?

Nothing's here. Look.

See the rabbit ears?

Nothing there,

including my money.

If somebody's cheating

here, I want my money back.

This guy cheated me

once before.

I ain't gonna let you get

away with it this time.

You know what, don't you

coat it for me. All right?

I came here, I lost my

money, now I want out.

Ok, I'm outta here.

You ain't goin' nowhere.

Yaaah!

Hey!

Come on. Let's get

him out of here.

Joe Duma's the winner!

Who's this belong to?

Come here.

The retards

like the zoo.

All right. Break

it up. Game is over.

Everybody

go home.

- You ok?

- Yeah. Yeah.

What the f*** was that all about?

I don't know.

I got made going into my pocket.

F***ing Tom is still

steaming from the cooler hand.

Should have

just brushed.

We got us an awful lot of man here.

That damn knocker

didn't know what hit him.

Yeah. That's right, Teddy.

Encourage him, ok?

Encourage him.

This is the kind of sh*t that got him

tossed out of that spot in the first place.

Here, Fitz. Take this.

What the hell is the matter with you--

attacking this guy?

You know you're not supposed

to put your hands on anyone.

You know that! I told you:

Nice people don't act this way.

Now get in the car, Joe.

I wish you were dead

instead of ma!

Hey, hey.

Don't say that.

- I said get in the car.

- Don't say that.

- I'm going home!

- What home?!

You got no home, kid!

That place is done with you. It's over.

Now get in

the f***ing car!

F*** your mother!

Joe, Joe!

No good here!

I f***ed yours. I f***ed

yours and look what happened!

Huh? Look what happened

when I f***ed yours!

Come on. Joe.

Calm down.

Calm down,

calm down.

Come on. Come on. I'll take

care of him. I'll take him home.

Calm down. Calm down.

Come on. God! God!

You ready up

those Miami guys.

- All right.

- I am done with this kid!

You got it.

Get in the car.

Go home.

How did

you get here?

You take the New Haven line

to new Rochelle,

Mamaroneck Road,

and then you

walk four blocks

and you catch the number 35

to new Main Street

and you walk

the rest of the way.

Oh. You know, you

could have called me.

I would have come

and got you.

Back in the bunk--

that's where I live--

I named it that,

'cause it sounds cool.

Now everybody

names it that.

My friend Brian-- he can only

take the bus when he's with me.

'Cause they

all trust me there.

And I'm never late.

My friend Brian had reconstructive

surgery on his eyes and his lip.

He's still ugly.

You really like it where

you live, don't you?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

In the morning,

in my room,

when the sun comes up

a certain way,

my face looks good.

Oh, I think your face

is beautiful.

All the time.

I hurt someone today.

I hit him good.

- He tried to hit my dad.

- I know. I know.

He told me

what happened,

and you were very

brave-- you were.

But I just don't think

it's a good idea

to hurt anyone,

no matter what.

I'd do it again.

I'll do it again if they

make me go to that place

Where no one

comes back from.

You know what?

Maybe the reason no one

comes back from there is

because, I don't know, 'cause

they like it so much. Right?

You know, your father

really cares about you.

He's just--

He just has a hard time

showing it sometimes.

Does he care for you?

He told me about

your wrestling medal.

Yeah. He did. He came right to

the racetrack and showed it to me.

You should-- I'm telling you,

you should have seen his face

When he was bragging

about you, how you won.

First place-- was, the

second class division?

- Middleweight.

- Middleweight.

That's what I meant.

I have

very powerful legs.

Yes, you do.

Yonkers Joe's not much

of a letter writer.

I know, and he can be

a jerk sometimes.

I know.

But it's just because--

because he's different

From a lot of people,

you know?
