Where is he? Where is he hiding?
I don't know.
I've been looking for him since yesterday.
I'm gonna ask you for the last time. Where is he?
I don't know.
What are you going to do?
You stay here in case that rat shows up.
Who you protecting... you dumb asshole?
A stoolie who rats... on his own friends.
They were your friends, too.
I got it. You wanna end up like that bitch, huh?
At... at... at Chun Lao's. Chinese theater.
You stay here with this barrel of shit.
Noodles?
Noodles.
Easy, easy...
This way. Hurry! Down there, Mott Street. Go, go, go!
Noodles.
Noodles. Untie me.
No, stay that way. No, stay. I want them to know I did it.
-Where you going? -I'm going to go get Eve.
Don't.
Why?
They... they already been there.
Do you need anything?
Money?
-I got more than I need. -Yeah, it's all yours now.
Where to?
Sir, where do you want to go?
Anywhere. The first bus.
Buffalo?
One way.
That'll be a dollar twenty.
-I want to rent a car. -Would you fill this out, please.
Noodles.
I brought back the key to your clock.
Lock the door.
When'd you get back?
Tonight.
Why?
They got in touch with me.
-Who? -I thought you might know.
Me?l don't know nothing about nobody no more.
You gonna offer me a drink.
Yeah. Forgive me. Sure. Of course. Please sit down.
Who's Robert Williams?
I am.
"We wish to inform you that following... the sale of the Beth lsrael Cemetery in...
Yeah, the synagogue sent these out if you... want them to relocate your loved ones.
I got the same letter on account of my father, alav-ha-shalom.
Only the synagogue didn't send that.
I got that last week. And the rabbi told me...
he sent those out about eight months ago.
Yeah, that's right. That's just about when I got mine.
-So what else did he say, the Rabbi? -He said I was lucky.
The bodies of Philip Stein, Maximilian Bercovicz...
Patrick Goldberg, were already spoken for.
And they were up in a very fancy cemetery in Riverdale.
What's this all mean?
It means...
"Dear Noodles...
even though you've been hiding out in the asshole of the world, we found you."
"We know where you are." It means...
"Get ready."
For what?
That's the one thing it didn't say.
What do you think?
I think the answer's here. That's why I came back.
I moved everything in here.
I had to sell the house, the back room.
I always thought you might have helped yourself to that million bucks.
But now I know.
You're on your ass worse than ever.
-But I thought it was you. -Naw, you thought wrong.
The suitcase was empty.
Then who took it?
That's what I've been asking myself for thirty-five years.
If it bothers you, I can sleep here. You can have my room.
No, it's okay.
How's your sister?
I ain't seen her for years. She's a big star now.
We should have known, huh?
You can always tell the winners at the starting gate.
You can always tell the winners. You can tell the losers.
Who would a put a penny on you?
I'd a put everything I ever had on you.
Yeah, and you would've lost.
-Well, you're beat. Goodnight. -Goodnight, Moe. Thanks.
What have you been doing all these years?
Been going to bed early.
Deborah... papa says you should help.
No.
We got customers all over. We can't do everything.
Try. I've got my elocution lessons.
Fat, you'd better spray the toilet. I saw a cockroach in there.
-Sorry. -Michugah!
-Sorry, I can't make it today. -See you tomorrow.
Okay. Bye.
Sorry, Fats.
Noodles! Bugsy's got a job for us.
Hurry up. He don't wait.
-Who you calling a cockroach? -So what are you?
You're filthy, you make me sick. You crawl up toilet walls...
just like a roach. So, what are you?
Let go!
I make you sick, huh? Then how come you showed me your tush?
To a roach?
Go look at yourself, David Aaronson.
If she don't leave me alone, I'm gonna give her what she's asking for.
-What's Bugsy want? -We gotta wake up a deadbeat.
That schmuck at the newsstand didn't pay.
Here's your money, sir.
Look at that, he looks... Wow!
Come on, guys.
Come on, come on!
Well, make up your mind.
-Noodles, let's take the dollar. -Yeah.
Skip. You go.
That one.
Him.
Hey, Sam, I'll see you next Thursday.
That one.
Are you nuts?
Bugsy said we could take the dollar or we could roll a drunk.
Yeah, but he ain't even drunk yet.
We'll wait.
Well, you roll that one over there. What's to roll? He drunk it all.
Bounce that little shikker.
Jacket.
It's Fartface.
Shit!
We should of took the dollar.
Coulda had ten hot coned beef sandwiches on poppy seed rolls.
Look... The wagon'll hide us from Fartface. Get ready!
Now! Throw your jacket over him.
Hey, mister, you sick? Poor guy! You'll be okay. Come on, I'll help ya.
Come on, up you go.
Now, you're worse than my Uncle Nathan.
Why do you want to get soused? You can't even walk.
I'll take you home. Go, mama.
Stop right there. You! Yeah, I'm talking to you.
What the hell are you kids doing here?
-What are we kids doing here? -We're getting it up the ass.
Yeah, getting screwed. Is there a law against it?
Can you spare a dime for four poor little pisherkehs that just got it up the ass?
Get out! Come on, get out of here. Come on, get off the street.
Get off the street. Go ahead. And don't come back.
I don't want to see you here again. All right?
Hey, stop by for you later.
Yeah, but my turn at the John first.
My old man's praying and my old lady's crying.
And the light's turned off. What the hell should I go home for?
At least in here I can read.
-Where do you think you're going? -Mama, don't get worked up.
You got pots to do.
I'll be right back, ma.
I gotta go to the can.
Hi, Peggy.
At least you could lock the door.
Don't you like it?
-I've seen better. -You seen lots!
How many you seen?
I'll tell you how many. None.
Lemme see yours.
Looksi's, no feelsies.
Peggy, Peggy, l...
-You like it, don't you? -Not for free I don't.
You bring me a charlotte russe with whipcream...
and then you can do anything you like.
Tomorrow. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I promisse.
-Look, I don't give credit. -I promisse.
You'd better stop squeezing me or I'm going to poop in my pants.
Well, you getting out?
Come on, come on.
Gimme six copies.
Drop your pants and I'll stick it to you again.
What do you mean, again?
That's a long story. And look what time it is.
It's already six thirty-four. And I gotta go.
Boy, I got a lot of work to do.
Hold it a minute. Now it's six thirty-five.
And I ain't got a damn thing to do.
Just you wait, asshole. I'll do something with your time.
Since we're talking about time, it looks like you're gonna break...
that lamp at six thirty-six.
-Where'd you pinch this? -It's mine.
-Prove it. -I gave it to him.
Oh, yeah.
Who the hell are you?
-Where you from? -The Bronx.
And you give away watches?
He's my uncle.
And who gave it to you?
-My Uncle Nathan. -My little brother.
Tell your uncle to stop by the precinct.
-He's dead. -Alcoholic.
In Kishnev, Poland.
Then he don't need it no more. It's been requisitioned.
Requi... what's that mean?
Pinched, by him. At sixty-thirty-seven.
Just remember, I got my eye on you two.
I got my eye on you, too.
Take it! Take it! Take the lamp off. I can't hold it.
Max.
Who's this?
My uncle.
That one! With the cream.
-The five cent one? -Yeah.
For the two penny one she only gives you a hand job.
I can do that myself.
Not that one... that one.
You sure?
Wrap it up pretty.
-Good morning. Is Peggy home? -She's taking a bath.
That's great! Would you be so kind as to tell her I'm here.
Hey, Ma. Another bucket of water.
Wait.
What do you want?
Me?
Mama said you were looking for me.
Oh, yeh, no. The guys told me to... eh...
-What? -I'll come back some other time.
Noodles!
Noodles! Noodles! Noodles!
Did you get it?
I think his asshole blinked but we got him.
Nice going, Fartface. And on duty, too.
You boys caught me with my pants down that time.
No. We caught you with your shmuck up the tochis of a minor.
Put this some place safe.
Wait. Hey, hold it! Where you going? Stop! Hey, wait a minute!
Hey, you stop! Hold it. What are you kids gonna do with that plate?
It depends. What time is it, Max?
I think it's time we got our watch back.
-Okay, boys, we're even. -The hell we are.
You'll be collecting your pension before we're even.
Hiya, fellas.
What do you boys want?
First off...
you're paying Peggy for us.
Okay. That's it?
Go ahead, while I tell him.
I can't believe it. My first time and a lousy cop's paying for it.
Now look, what else do you kids want for that plate?
Noodles was telling me about a guy called Bugsy.
Seems he's boss of this neighborhood thanks to you.
-Meaning what? -Meaning he pays you off.
Will you slow down? What is your hurry? Take it easy.
If you keep this up you're going to come too fast.
You see what I mean? I can't... I can't believe it.
So, why does Bugsy pay ya? What do you do for him?
I close an eye once in awhile.
-Well now, you close an eye for us. -Why?
What are you kids up to?
He'll tell ya.
Me, him, Cockeye and Patsy, we're working together.
Bugsy'll flatten you. And besides...
I don't put up with no trouble on my beat.
You'll put up and you'll shut up. You hear nothin' and you see nothin'.
-Just like you did for Bugsy. -Shit!
Oh, don't get upset. That makes it worse. It can happen in the first time.
It's them two talking out there.
Can't you see you're ruining the mood. We made our deal.
So take a walk.
Come here, honey.
-Feel good, bubbala? -He'll never get it up.
Okay, feel good.
Okay, come here.
I've got the baby, sir.
-Happy Pesach, Deborah. -Happy Pesach, Derkie.
Hurry, papa, we're going be late. There's Deborah.
-Sorry I'm late. -I just locked up.
I just thought I'd practice my dance routines. That's all. All right.
-Okay. Goodbye. -See you later. Bye.
Get down off of there, roach. That record is just like Ex-lax.
Every time I put it on, you have to go to the bathroom.
-What are you doing? -Gimme a drink.
We're closed. Nice people...
don't drink on Pesach. They go to the synagogue.
So what are you doing here?
Somebody's got to keep an eye on the place.
There are a lot of little thieves out there. One of them could get into your house.
Especially if you leave the door open.
You can pray here, too.
Here or in the synagogue, to God it's the same difference.
Come over here and sit down.
"My beloved is white and ruddy. His skin is as the most fine gold...
his cheeks are as a bed of spices."
"Even though he hasn't washed since last December."
"His eyes are as the eyes of doves...
his body is as bright ivory...
his legs are as pillar of marble."
"ln pants so dirty they stand by themselves."
"He is altogether lovable."
"But he'll always be a two-bit punk...
so he'll never be my beloved."
"What a shame!"
Somebody's there.
There ain't nobody.
-It's Max. -Ah, so that's who it was.
Noodles!
Go on, run. Your mother's calling you.
Noodles!
Just gonna see what he wants.
-Hey! -Yo?
-You been here long? -No.
Were you in there?
You're a lousy kisser.
I seen you go in there after that ball-buster.
Here's the stuff from last night.
We got four for the silverware, and six for the typewriter.
Shitsy Lipschitz wouldn't cough up anymore. We got to get somebody else.
I came to divvy up.
-Tomorrow, with the others. -I also came to pick you up.
I can't come right now.
The houses, the stores, they're all empty. We got our pick.
-And you pick that. -Yeah.
Some partner I got.
Have fun.
How's it going, boys?
Who's that?
Bugsy.
I hear you guys are in business for yourselves now, huh?
I hear you are doing real good.
Ain't you gonna introduce me to your friend here?
I'll introduce myself.
Excuse the glove.
Son-of-a-bitch!
