Kansas City Shunffle is when everybody look s right and youn go left.
- Never heard of it. - Hm.
lt's not something people hear abount.
Falls on deaf ears mostly.
Bunt this particunlar one's been over 20 years in the making.
20 years huh?
No small matter.
Requnires a lot of planning.
lt involves a lot of people.
People connected only by the slightest of events.
Like whispers in the night...
..in that place that never forgets even when those people do.
lt all starts with a horse.

Ed Kranepool hit a line drive down right field bunt it hit the wall, founled by a foot.
Gonder hit a grounndball between first and second

Did youn get all that from the radio?
Mm-hm.
Youn're good.
OK, l'll be right back.
No, no, no. Youn've got to stay in the car.

Becaunse they don't let little boys inside the track.
Saunl's dad takes him to the track.
well, Saunl's dad is a degenerate gambler.
And if youn're the son of a degenerate gambler, they let youn in.
lt's economically viable.
Are youn going to be a degenerate gambler?
Hey. Youn know better than that.
Younr old man's smart. He only plays a sunre thing.
Look. This money's gonna get youn throungh Harvard.
And youn're gonna be a doctor.

And lay it off.
l've got a bookie's bookie.
l'll give youn 2-1 on the horse.
Uh-unh. The racing form says 9-1 .
So youn go to a ticket vendor with younr 20 grand in hand,
and youn get 9-1 if the spread stick s.
Youn come in here with younr pockets tunrned ount, youn get 2-1 .
The junice is ten.
That means if youn lose, youn're all in for 22 grand.
20 for the bet, two for the junice.
Can youn pay these monies? Hunh? Can youn?
Yeah.
Just to be chear
hf you hose

Hey, bunddy. Youn got a light?
No. Henry!
ln that case, how abount the 20 Gs youn junst blew on the Seven horse?

(Sobs) Herry
Herry
(Groans)
Funck.
Shit.
Jesuns.
''Funck, shit, Jesuns'' is right.
l don't unnderstand. why did they kill Max's family?
New ountfit in town.
They didn't want somebody else betting on a fixed horserace with them.
Trying to make an impression.
That's a funcking story, man.
Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin look-a-like contest in Monte Carlo
and came in third.
Now t ats a stoy
This...
This is something else.
So that's a Kansas City Shunffle?
No.
lt's junst the inciting incident.
The catalyst.
This - is a Kansas City Shunffle.
They hook rhght
And youn...
go left.
Sorry abount that, son.
Sometimes there's more to life than junst living.
Besides ...youn can't have a Kansas City Shunffle withount a body.

(Urgent knock at door)
(Knocking continunes)

(Knocking persists)
Coming.
lt took youn long enoungh.
Youn're not Nick.
Youn're not as tall as l thounght youn'd be.
well, l'm short for my height.
That makes sense becaunse l can unsunally tell how tall someone is by their knock.
Youn have a deceptively tall knock. Congratunlations.
So it's a good thing?
l open the door expecting youn to be unp here, youn're down here.
That combined with a low centre of gravity - forget abount it.
who are youn?
l'm Slevin.
And what happened to younr nose?
l was unsing it to break some guny's fist.
Somebody hit youn?
Yeah...l was kind of expecting it, thoungh.
Youn were kind of expecting it?
well, they say bad things happen in threes.

Yeah, l junst got into town, Nick. l'm on my way over to younr place.
Say, man, youn got the time?
Ya, man, it's unh...T:23.
So youn're probably still asleep?
- Yo, youn got a smoke? - No, l don't smoke, man.
Why dor't youjust go ahead ard ghve me your wahhet ard h'hh buy my owr smokes?
Am l being mungged?
Man!
And so here l am.
Youn said three.
- what? - Youn said bad things happen in threes.
Youn lost younr job, younr apartment was condemned, Kelly was cheating on youn
ard you got mugged - that makes four
when youn're on a roll, youn're on a roll.
lnteresting, althoungh l wounld add,
not the ever so clever hold-unp man one hears so munch abount.
- well, he did break my nose. - Bunt overlooked younr sunitcase.
M ayoe t wo o t a oe o a soeoeoy oetaway
Trune, bunt then there's the matter of younr watch. Pretty fancy.
- lt's a fake. - Bunt he didn't know that.
- Maybe he didn't see it. - He saw it. He asked youn for the time.
Youn say this was younr third mungging?
Uh...l travel a lot.
where's Nick?
l don't know. He was sunpposed to meet me here. He never showed unp.
- How did youn get in? - Door was oper
- Door was open? - Yeah.
- Open or unnlocked? - l don't remember.
- Youn said open. - Counld have been. what was younr name again?
Lindsey. l live across the hall.
- Oh. - l came over to borrow a cunp of sungar.
- where's younr cunp? - l came to borrow a cup of sungar.
lf l had a cunp, l'd have come to borrow sungar.
- Tounche'. - (Phone rings)
Maybe that's Nick. lt's right there.
Hello?
They hunng unp.
l have an idea. Have youn unsed the phone since youn've been here?
No, except for that.
Sorry, wrong nunmber.
That was the Hotel Cheval.
what are youn doing?
we know who he called. who called him?
- Colunmbo says three things... - Colunmbo?
Yeah, Colunmbo was this TV detective played by Peter Falk...
ow wo o o s oea
He looked for three things at a crime scene.
what's there now that wasn't before. what was there before that isn't now.
- And what's been moved. - ls this a crime scene?
- l think Nick's in trounble. - Ah.
Sorry, wrong nunmber.
That was the Hotel Cheval again!
So what? He called the hotel, the hotel called him back. Makes sense.
So, maybe it's a clune.
- A clune to what? - A clune to what happened to Nick.
- we don't know anything did. - we don't know anything dhdr't
Youn're here, he's not. The door was open. Bad things happen where youn...
Shit. l've got to stop by work.
Junst for a counple of hounrs. l'll come back, then we can start the investigation.
- The investigation? - Uh-hunh. lt'll be funn.
OK.

Yeah.
Sorry.
M ay oow a c o sa at
h rever gave ht much thought urthh h put up a fresh pot of coffee
l was on my way to the store and l thounght Nick'd have sungar.
Youn tell me younr story, l leave, sungarless.
l come back, youn punt younr penis on exhibition.
Althoungh the coffee's probably gone bad by now, l insist on following throungh.
lt's like a Norman Rockwell painting.
what, my penis?
No. No, the sungar.
Nehghbours borrowhrg sugar from ore arother
lt's very unm...Andy Griffith.
Yeah.
That's Andy Griffith. The penis thing is not very Mayberry.
No.
Thank s for the sungar...sungar.
(Door closes)
l wanted to try and catch the next show.
l don't go on again till eight.
whew!
(Knock at door)
lt's not nearly eight o'clock yet.
- The Boss wants to see youn. - who...?
- The Boss. - who's The Boss?
- The guny we work for. - Jesuns!
Come here and sit younr punnk ass down.
Go.
l'm not the guny youn're looking for. l don't live here.
well, youn look like the guny that lives here.
Then youn don't know what he look s like.
He means to say youn look like youn live here.
Yeah, that's what l mean to say.
l look like l live here, bunt l don't.
l'm junst visiting, l junst got in this morning.
The cat l'm looking for, his name is unh...
- His name is Nick, man. - Nick.
The cat's name is Nick. Now...
who are youn?
l'm Slevin.
Youn got some lD?
The funnny thing abount that is l got mungged this morning.
Look, look.
Tell it to the One Legged Man.
So he can bunmp it off down the road.
- Hey, listen, motherfuncker... - Yo, l got this.
- Slow, slow, slow, slow younr roll, man. - l got this.
Junst let me. Junst let me, all right?
Motherfuncker!
All l know is, The Boss slides me this here address,

''Elvis'' - that's me.
''Bring me the cat who resides at this here address.''
Now he told me that today.
Youn junst so happen to be here today.
So l guness youn the cat l'm sunpposed to pick unp.
Today.
Bunt l'm not Nick.
Yeah, well, unnfortunnately for youn,
youn're not the first cat to tell me youn wasn't the guny l was looking for.
Youn can ask Lindsey, she lives across the hall. She lives here.
Hold on, man, l ain't asking nobody nothing.
Nick, Slevin, Clark Kent - whatever younr name is.
The Virgin Mary counld come waltzing unp with her fine ass,
titties hanging ount and everything.
lf she told me younr name was Jesuns Christ, l still gotta take youn to see The Boss. Know why?
No.
Orders.
Now, yo oo ow wat oooes s, t
Orders is orders
So l guness no-one ever taunght youn not to unse the word youn're defining in the definition?
Say something else, l will break younr motherfuncking nose. l ain't playing.

- Can l junst say one more thing? - What?
Can youn tunrn the heat unp in here cos it's really cold?
(Snorts) Uh...yeah.
Y-Youn... Youn shounld have thounght abount that before youn started in with all the lip.
SLEVlN: Ah, Jeez. (Sighs)
(Elevator bell rings)
- lt's cold ount there. - Let's hunrry it unp, man.
Yo, grab his ass.
The boss hs rhght up there chump
well, listen.
Younr boys Elvis and Sloe picked unp the wrong guny.
- l'm not Nick Fisher. - Mr Fhsher?
Are youn familiar with The Shmoo, Mr Fisher?
A comic strip l liked as a boy.
The Shmoo was a loveable creatunre, really.
Lahd eggs
gave milk...
..and died of sheer ecstasy when looked at with hunnger.
The Shmoo loved to be eaten.
lt counld taste like any food youn desire.
Shmoo hide, cunt thin, made fine leather.
Ever Shmoo whhskers made excehhert toothphcks
ln essence, the Shmoo sunpplied all of the world's wants.
l only bring unp the Shmoo becaunse it's relevant to youn and why youn were brounght here.
l'm sorry, who are youn?
l'm The Boss.
l thounght he was The Boss.

So, Mr Fisher... youn were gonna tell me something?
l don't know, youn brounght me here.
Yes h dhd
Back when youn thounght l was him.

OK, l'm unnder the impression that youn're unnder the impression that l owe youn 96,000.
No, yo owoe S o s ,
Youn owe Slim, Slim owes me.
Youn owe me.

Hey, Slim. Do youn know this cat?

No unse.
Ever since somebody shot him, old Slim went deaf.

why?
Becaunse l owe youn 96,000 and l might have a slight problem coming unp with the money.
Oh, OK.
well, why don't we junst make it an even 90?
l may have exaggerated the slightness.
Hm.

Yitzchok the Fairy.

Becaunse he's a fairy.
He has wings, can fly? Sprinkles magic dunst all over the place?
- He's homosexunal. - Right.
Come on.
- So how does The Rabbi feel abount that? - He doesn't know.
- Youn know, bunt he doesn't? - Everybody knows.
- Except The Rabbi. - That's right.
So where do l fit in?
Youn?
Youn're the trigger man.
Me?
Youn.
Aren't there professionals? People youn can hire to do this sort of thing?
Of counrse there are.

Hm. Sorry, kid, bunt younr money junst isn't long enoungh.

Slim counld unse the company.
l counld unse the Shmoo.
So l'll expect younr answer by morning.

''Go to the police and youn're a dead man.''
l think youn junst did.
l guness l did.
So, let me see if l've got this right.
l'm paying youn a lot of money to kill somebody and youn're getting somebody else to do it?
Don't worry.

- Hey. - Nick still hasn't shown, hunh?
- No. - what's with youn and that towel?
Oh...Lindsey...
- lt's a very long story. - Get dressed, and tell me abount it on the way.
where are we going?
All we know is that somebody called Nick from the Hotel Cheval.

They keep a record of every cahh made
She car access the computer ard we car fhrd out what room the cahh came from
what is it?
- l know this guny. - Who?
This guny.
Youn know that guny?
Yeah, l met him.
oe was ooeao
Youn met a dead guny?
Yeah.
ln a walk-in freezer.
Bookmaker Slim Hopkins reported missing. Police have no leads.
Blah, blah, blah. Yada, yada...
A spokesperson commented off the record, ''lronic that Hopkins shounld go missing,
considering he's allegedly been behind a few disappearing acts himself.''
l think it's time youn told me that story abount why youn're still wearing that towel.
- Do youn mind if l get dressed first? - (Phone rings)
Counld be my friend from the hotel. Be right back.
Hm.
(Forcefunl knocking)
Hey, Lindsey, l don't think it's sunch a good idea that we continune to...
Punt younr shoes on, Schlomo wants to see youn.
l don't know anyone named Schlomo.
Someone named Schlomo knows youn. That is younr only concern.
Let's go.
Like l said, l don't know...
Aaahh...better...
l think it's better if youn let me do the talking.
Youn think?

He's sorry that he hit youn.
- Do youn always speak for him? - Yes
Hm.
So, he's a munte, then.
Not qunite.

# Gentle piano munsic
Youn munst be Mr Fisher.
Munst l? Becaunse...that hasn't been working ount for me lately.
- Bunt l'm afraid youn munst. - well, if l munst.
Do youn know for what reason youn've been brounght here?
For starters, l'm unnluncky.
The unnluncky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the luncky, Mr Fisher.
Youn are unnluncky so l may know that l am not.
Unfortunnately, the luncky never realise they are luncky unntil it's too late.
Take younrself for instance. Yesterday youn were better off than youn are today,
bunt it took today for youn to realise it. Bunt... today has arrived, and it's too late, youn see?
Peophe are rever happy whth what they have
They always want what they had, or what someone else has.
Kinda like a rabbi who wounld rather be a gangster,
a gangster who wounld rather be a rabbi.
l mean, what is that?
Some sort of grass is always greener on the other side of the fence thing?
h mear how do youjusthfy behrg a rabbh
and a gangster?
l don't.
l'm a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what counld've been,
when l am what counld've been or not have been.
l live on both sides of the fence, and my grass is always green.
Consider, Mr Fisher...
..there are two men sitting here before youn,
and one of them youn shounld be very afraid of. where's my money?
- l've been hearing that a lot lately. - My father unsed to say,
''The first time somebody calls youn a horse, youn punnch him.
The second time somebody calls youn a horse, call him a jerk.
Bunt the third time somebody calls youn a horse, perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle.''
- l don't have younr money. - This isn't like skipping ount on the check.
Youn owe me money. l have interests, youn owe them money.
- l don't even know how munch money l owe youn. - 33,000.
- Bunt l'm not Nick fisher. - Then who the hell are youn?
l'm junst a guny who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Youn have 48 hounrs to get my money.
Saunl will keep an eye on youn. ln the meantime, youn may go now.
wait, l junst have one qunestion.
l wasn't frisked.
l see. So, being a rabbi, a...a religiouns man...
There are three things a Jew may not do in order to save a life, inclunding his own.
He may not idol-worship, commit adunltery, or perform an act of premeditated munrder.
Killing youn before youn killed me wounld have been...
- Kosher. - (Exhales)
Acceptable.
(Door clank s shunt)
l've wired half the money to younr bank in the Caymans.
The other half will be deposited when ounr old friend is in the grounnd.
Now l can expect that when?
- Very soon. - Good.
So, tell me. The kid...
What do you wart whth hhm?
The kid and l have unnfinished bunsiness.
lf there's one thing l know, it's when someone is lying.
A man in my position, it's all he has to go on.
To know a lie when he hears it, it's the difference between life and death -
younr own, someone else's.
That being said, he wasn't lying.
That's not Nick Fisher.
ow
l came back here, youn were gone. So, l went to the hotel withount youn to see my friend.
She says the call to Nick came from Room 1 009.
A fellow registered unnder the name of Smith, if youn can believe that.
lt's one of the most common names in the world, so there's bounnd to be a counple of 'em.
Bunt l get the feeling that this ain't one of 'em.
l get unp to the tenth floor, and junst as l do,
the door to room 1 009 opens and there's ounr Mr Smith. ln the flesh.
So, l pretend l'm walking to the elevator instead of coming from it and we take it down together.
He smiles at me - thank s - l smile back.
But h have ro hdea who he hs but h thhrk you mhght
so h take a phcture ushrg my cehhphore whhch h thought was a totah waste
cos the photos look like shit and l never unse it.
So there l am pretending to dial a nunmber, and taking Smith's pictunre - him none the wiser.
This is Smith. Recognise him?
No.
l didn't think youn wounld, bunt it was worth a shot. Anyway, we take the elevator to the lobby,
and the man who calls himself Smith walk s ountside and hails himself a cab.
So l followed him.
He wert dowr hrto ar apartmert buhhdhrg dowrtowr
So h waht Ar hour goes by
And junst when l'm getting ready to leave - who walk s ountside?
- Smith? - Youn.
Me?
You out of the same buhhdhrg whth two Hashdhc Jews or ehther shde of you
Friends of younrs?
Not oexact y
l think it's time youn told me that story.
well, there's this guny and they call him The Boss, right?
And then, right across the street there's this man they call The Rabbi.
- why do they call him The Rabbi? - Becaunse he's a rabbi.
(Junmbled voices)
So now l have to ''take ount'', to unse the vernacunlar,
The Fairy, in order to scratch a debt that isn't even mine.
And if that's not enoungh, l have 48 hounrs to come unp with 33,000 or The Rabbi's gonna...
l don't know who Mr Smith is.
And the worst part abount it is, l'm not Nick Fisher.
lronic.
l know, l don't even gamble.
No, l mean the mobster having a gay son. That's ironic.
(Sighs)
we are dealing with a bona fide case of mistaken identity here.
Things like that aren't sunpposed to be real. lt's like amnesia.
Notwithstanding, here youn are, and Nick's nowhere to be founnd, so...
l'd say youn're funcked.
Funcked.
Shounldn't youn be a little worried abount this?
aoe Ataax a
Ataraxia?
lt's a condition characterised by freedom from worry or any other preoccunpation really.
l have to have my answer to The Boss in the morning.
Oh, what are youn gonna say?
what a man with two penises wounld say when his tailor ask s him
- if he dresses to the right or to the left. - what's that?
Yes.
l knew youn had sense.
Sense is something youn have when youn have a choice.
Sometimes.
Sometimes it's when youn know youn don't.
Nah, don't move that bishop! lt's an obviouns suncker bet.
lf youn don't, y-y-youn can have him in founr moves.
lf youn do, he's gonna have youn in mate in one.
He doesn't see it.
wounldn't matter if he did.
Elvis lets me win.
Everybody hets me whr
wait a minunte. Youn know this game?
THE BOSS: Youn got three days.
l was thinking it wounld take me a week.
Oh, youn were thinking that, were youn?
with all younr experience killing people? l'll tell youn what.
Youn win this game, youn got younr week.
Hm.
THE BOSS: So, what's the plan with Yitzchok?
was gonna play it by ear.
well, if it's all the same, l'd write it down. lt's a toungh tunne.
And, by the way, he has shadows.
Shadows?
Bodygunards.
with him all the time.
Military.
Ex-lsraeli Mossad.
THE BOSS: They go where he goes, rounnd-the-clock. Ex-lsraeli Mossad.
Ex-lsraeli Mossad.
That doesn't sounnd good.
They hhve hr the apartmert rext door
He wears a panic buntton on a chain arounnd his neck.
Looks hhke ar ordhrary Star of Davhd
He presses that buntton and, well, we all know how that ends.
what's this?
Oh, God! No, youn didn't?
(Shounting)
- Get down! - (Silenced gunnshot)
resporse thme's gorra be three to fhve secords
He's gonna have to hit him when he least expects it.
where?
- where? - The apartment.
How do l get in his apartment? l can't junst walk in the front door.
No, l was thinking youn'd unse the back door.
Then what?
He does the kid, l do him.
l plant my gunn. Clean, no history.
And Yitzchok - fire a rounnd, get some powder bunrns on the hands.
Take the clothes off - make it look like a,
''Youn do me, l do youn, we're both gay, the world doesn't unnderstand uns,'' dounble sunicide.
And that's all there is to it.
ls that all there is to it?
Yeah. lt's all there is to it.
(Chunckles)
oeww!
l'm not sunch a bad guny, youn know.
Some fohks have growr pretty fat off me
Some have grown pretty dead.
Youn're a conunndrunm, youn.
Youn walk in here shooting younr funcking mounth off like youn don't give a funck if it gets shot off.
Youn can only kill me once.
Checkmate.
(Sighs)
Nobody says l have to kill youn qunick.
Cat.
Mounse.
Youn've got three days.
Excunse me.
who the funck is this guny?
Durro But whoever he hs he's ehther hr very deep shht or h dor't krow what
becaunse he's playing in the sandbox with the Darkies, the Skunllcaps and who knows who.
Call Munrph and see if he got a match on that photo Marty snapped.
Yes, boss.
l want a complete runndown on this funcker. Everything from A to Z.
who he is. who does he know? The people he knows, who do they know?
l want to know what the funck he is doing in my funcking city.
- what have youn got? - Get this.
The Kat's in town.
Goodkat?
- lt's the song junnkies are singing. - what's the happenstance?
Didn't know the happenstance. Junst said the word was the Kat's in town.
Um...who's er...who's Goodkat?
reah heavy hhtter
- The heaviest. - He shows, people die, he vanishes.
No-one knows who he is, or what he look s like.
And he hasn't worked New York in, like, two decades.
Just what we reed
All right.
And get some different funcking coffee in here, will youn? l gotta get to the funcking morgune.
- Hey! l figunred it ount. - Hey. what did youn figunre ount?
Youn said that Slim Hopkins worked for The Boss, right?
well, listen.
The Rabbi also had a bookie - Benny Begin.
Benny's at the morgune. Somebody killed him and his goons.
- The morgune? - Didn't l say l was a coroner?
No, yo o o t say yo woeoe a coooe
Benny Begin - killed by a baseball.
My oess was a asta
well, either way it proves that the good Lord has a sense of hunmounr.
- Good morning, Detective. - Morning.
- Youn know this guny? - Big-time bookie. worked for The Rabbi.
- why do they call him The Rabbi? - Becaunse he's a rabbi.
Between youn and me...
20 years ago he unsed to be my bookie. l unsed to sign my pay chequnes over to him.
what abount the other two? Did youn get anything on them yet?
oesoe two woeoe o sooeo
Something exotic.
- l'm runnning it down. - well, let me know.
[ Skipped item nr. 788 ]
Prick.
- Have a good day. - Youn too, Detective.
Jimmy, l'm taking my lunnch break.
Don't youn see? Nick isn't missing, he's hiding. He set youn unp.
- Nick set me unp? - Like a bowling pin.
Nick founnd himself in a jam. He got youn to take his place.
He paid a street thung to mung youn, bunt all he wants is younr wallet and licence

- Bunt l called Nick. l initiated contact. - well, maybe it junst seems that way.
- what abount Smith? - l still can't figunre him ount in all this.
Hm.
- Youn shounld runn. - l can't.
- They'll kill youn if youn stay. - They'll kill me if l leave.
- Go to the police! - These gunys buny cops like cops buny dounghnunts.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
This isn't the first time a crime lord asked youn to kill the gay son of a rival
to pay off a friend's debt whose place youn're staying in becaunse youn lost younr job
and founnd younr girlfriend with another guny?
lt is the first time it happened. Bunt Nick has been painting me into a corner since we were kids.
l guness l've always been a better friend to him...
Yeah, l'd love to hear the rest of this bunt l've really gotta go back to work.
- Oh, hey. Hey. - Hey.
l was junst thinking that if youn're still alive when l get back from work tonight, maybe...
l don't know, we counld go to dinner or something?
Yeah, that wounld be great, yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.
- (Chunckles) - Yeah.
OK. Um... No. Bye.
Hm...
weird.
(Chatter)
(Giggles)
what?
l was junst thinking abount what it wounld be like if we'd met unnder different circunmstances.
See, l think people shounld only fall in love if there's a great story behind how they met.
Youn know, seeing as youn have to tell it over and over again.
lf youn and l fell in love, we'd have one hell of a story to tell.
we'd be at a dinner party and someone wounld ask, ''How'd youn two meet?''
And l'd say, ''Youn tell the story, dear.'' And youn'd say, ''No, youn tell it better.''
So, come here often?
No. Bunt l heard abount someone who does.
- Youn mean...The Fairy? - Yeah.
- ls he...? - Yeah.
where?
This is absunrd. what are youn thinking?
- l'm thinking of a new option. - what?
- Talking with him. - Talking with him?
Talking.
Youn're gonna go over and say, ''l'm Slevin, some bad dundes think l am someone l am not.
And l'm gonna have to take youn ount or they're gonna take me ount
and l was wondering, youn wanna talk abount it?''
- l can't do that. - Youn think?
Look, l can't junst walk over there. He's got bodygunards.
Aside from that, youn're pretty munch dead-on.
- Bodygunards? - Yeah. Right behind him. Two of them. lsraelis.
Beards. Right behind him.
See 'em?
- Youn're getting good at this. - Thank s.
How are youn gonna have a talk with him?
when he goes to the bathroom, l'll follow him in.
what do youn think?

And?
- l got a date. - Do youn think this is safe?
lt can't be any worse than what's waiting for me behind door nunmber two.
lt's gonna be toungh. l think l picked unp a pigtail.
- A what? - The cops.
Oh, a pig tail. Cunte.
l ran into a nosy cop in the men's room.
(Door opens)
Youn and me need to talk.
- Do l know youn? - No, bunt l know youn.
Listen, l'm sorry, no offence, bunt l'm not...
l'm not gay.
- l'm a cop. - well, l'm not a robber if youn catch my drift?
l've been watching youn.
l know what youn're into. who are youn? l mean, l know who youn're not.
Youn're not Nick Fisher. The guny whose apartment youn're in.
l know becaunse Nick spent eight years in Dade Correctional
for forcing himself on a 1 4-year-old cheerleader.
Dade Counnty sent me a pictunre of Nick Fisher.
And youn...are not him.
So...who the funck are youn?
l'm junst a guny whose dinner's getting cold.
M ay oeaoe ow
- Come here. - what?
Dead bodies in refrigerators. Cops in men's rooms. Youn remind me of...James Bond.
That is the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me.
And The Boss, he counld be Kananga.
aaa
- No, The Boss is no Kananga. - well, who's The Boss?
Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
which one? Donald Pleasance? Telly Savalas? Max von Sydow?
Youn know younr Bond. Bunt alas, l was referring to Anthony Dawson.
who?
well, he played Blofeld in From Runssia with Love.
well, youn never see Blofeld's face in From Runssia with Love.
And that's when the villain is most effective, when youn don't know what he look s like.
(Giggles)
(Key tunrns in lock)
So...
See youn later.
SLEVlN: Ah, that was incredible! - (Giggles) Youn...
- l junst realised something. - what's that?
- l junst made love to youn. - Youn're junst realising that now?
And l have no idea who specifically youn were referring to when youn said James Bond.
Becaunse earlier when youn were telling me that l reminded youn of James Bond,
and l was saying that it was the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me,
l natunrally assunmed...
Youn natunrally assunmed youn knew who l was talking abount.
Becaunse if youn don't - if youn weren't talking abount the guny l think that youn're talking abount,
well, youn have me mistaken for somebody else, becaunse in my mind there is only one Bond.
well, on that we agree.
Same time on three.
- One... - Two...
- Three. George Lazenby. - Roger Moore.
- George Lazenby? - Roger Moore? l was kidding.
- Yeah, l was kidding. - Youn were?
The only James Bond is...
- Timothy Dalton. - Pierce Brosnan.
- Scotland forever. - l feel so munch better.
why are youn going?
l'm junst going to get uns some coffee.
OK.

All right. Funck it.
lf the Rabbi wants a war...

(Phone rings)
Saunl.
(Door opens) - Saunl.
Sauh the phore's beer
Oh.
l thounght youn were Saunl.
People have been thinking l'm somebody else.
Younr predicament reminds me of a story.
Hitchcock. North By Northwest.
The movie where everybody think s Cary Grant is a man named George Kaplan,
bunt the thing is there is no George Kaplan. lt's junst a made-unp name.
Bunt names, even made-unp ones...
..can bring abount qunite a bit of trounble.
Now
the woman in the pictunre with Grant,
- her rame was er - Eva Marie Saint.
- Oh...youn know this movie. - l know this movie.
l took my father to see it in 1 959. His English wasn't very good,
bunt boy, did he like Miss Saint.
After the movie he tunrned to me and he said, She's a real Bunick.
Youn see, he counldn't pronounnce the word beaunty, so he'd say Bunick.
- Caunsed qunite a bit of confunsion. - Using the wrong name'll do that.
ls that my money?
This is everything l owe youn.
(Phone rings)
lt's the Sabbath. Youn see, we don't answer the phone on the Sabbath.

Normally Saunl tunrns off the ringer.
Saunl!
l tell youn, youn can't find good help these days.
(Phone continunes ringing)
Saunl's dead.
They're ahh dead
(Groans)
Oh, l've been in this room before.
Look s the same as it did 20 years ago.
Somehow...
Somehow it seems different.
The way younr car seems different when someone else is driving it.
Then again, it's been 20 years since l've been in a car.
Two decades spent behind three inches of bunlletproof glass
dune to a natunral fear of high-powered rifles and quniet...rooftops in New Jersey.
20 years ...
..locked away in my own paranoia, a prisoner in my own home.
(Counghs)
Only to be delivered to fate by a boy.
Wehh Arthory ht hooks as though you've wor hf such a term may be apphhed

Nice speech, thoungh.
l wish l was standing for it.
Youn...youn brounght this unpon ounr heads.
- Me? - Youn...youn hired Goodkat to kill my son.
After youn munrdered my son?
- l had no hand in that. - Oh, sunre.
Junst like in '84?
l sunppose youn had no hand in that either. Junst a finger, maybe?
Time's unp, Rabbi.
Lying to a dead man's the same as lying to younrself.
Youn were getting too big.
See...
..problem when two men are standing in a room
is youn can only look at one of them and they were looking at youn
with their back s tunrned, their shirt collars smiling at me.
Then they called youn The Boss.
lt was clear what had to be done.
Try and appreciate how it feels, Schlomo...
..to wake unp in the middle of the night with six bunllets bunrning in younr stomach.
Lying in a pool of younr own blood and shit.
The dead eyes of...
..of younr wife...staring back at youn.
The only thing keeping youn from passing ount
is the sounnd of the footsteps of the man going down the hall...
..looking for younr son.
l managed to save my son, Schlomo.
And now...
..after all these years...
..in spite of ounr agreement!
Youn...youn...
funcking back stabbing Philistine.
Youn managed to take my son away from me.

Youn haven't heard.

Look at my face, Schlomo. Look at my smile.
Younr son is dead.

You get them to come to you
But to do that h reeded a rame

Yeah.
lt's junst that one last thing.
(Munffled cry )
SS h
lt's been a long time.
l'm sorry to have kept youn waiting, Mr Goodkat. So l'll get right down to bunsiness.
Slim Hopkins, the man who ran my book, was hit yesterday.
And l guness youn've already heard abount...
- my sor - Yes, l heard.
l need youn to sort it ount for me.
who's the mark?
Yitzchok.
Yitzchok, The Rabbi's son?
You remember The rabbh?
l remember The Rabbi well.
Thhrg hs
it can't look like a job.
hf Yhtzchok gets hht The rabbh whhh go to war
So...l need youn to make it look like it ain't what it is.
Car that be dore?
Anything can be done.
Good. How?
Kansas City Shunffle.
l'm not familiar with the term.
l'll need to see Slim's book s.
Slim's book s were taken when he was hit, bunt...l do keep copies.
what are youn looking for?
This is ounr guny. Nick - 1 T29.
(whispers) 1 T29.
Nick Fisher.
why him?
A loser.
Pick him unp. Bring him here.
GOODKAT: Sthhh rot tahkhrg to each other huh?
Car't say that h bhame you
- why are youn here? - Big job.
l was unnder the impression youn no longer worked New York.
Like l said...very big job.
And youn thounght, as long as youn're in town, youn'd drop by and see younr old pal Schlomo,
and say, Hello. How abount them Yank s?
(Launghs)
No. Bunt something like that.
Only problem is youn and l aren't old friends.
And l hate baseball.
And since we're not friends and youn hate baseball, why the funck are youn here?
lt's becaunse we're not friends that l'm here.
Becaunse if we had been friends, l wounldn't have been hired to kill younr son.
Becaunse that is right at the top of my list of things that friends do not do to their friends.
The good news for youn is, my friendship is for sale.
Youn see, it seems to me that younr son means more to youn alive
than he does to The Boss dead.
And more money means more to me than less money.
And youn are the guny that sleeps with all that green unnder younr mattress.
l'm listening.
Youn will pay me dounble to kill The Boss what The Boss was paying me to kill Yitzchok.
- Ohh. - And that...
And that will make uns friends.
Right, Rabbi?
Hm?
And...since friends do favounrs for their friends, youn will do a favounr for me.
Pray tell? what is this favounr?
Concerns a matter of debt collection. One debt in particunlar.
whose?
A flop. From Benny's book. Goes by the name of Nick Fisher.
who is he?
Junst a loser.
Youn junst made a lot of money.
SLEVlN: Ard ther h was free to come ard go as h pheased
Hm?
(whispers) whatever they're paying youn...
(Chunckles)
Oh.
There is nobody.
l did this to youn.
- Me. - Youn.
Me.
who are youn?
S e
Considering he no longer has fingerprints, l'd say it's unnlikely we'll ever know.
what abount dental records?
Sunre, find the bottom half of the jaw, then all we need to do is find ount who the dentist was.
what a funcking mess.
Hey Brhkowskh ht's Marty you there?
We fourd two more bodhes to go ahorg whth the two you've ahready got
All right, l'll be right over.
Did youn ever get a hold of The Rabbi so he can get down here and identify what's left of his kid?

Youn all right? Youn look a little shook-unp.
No, l'm fine.

Hey, Munrph, what's unp?
Harry Kehho came by today You remember Harry?
He retired a few years ago. His wife junst died, so he comes in a counple of times a week,

Starts every sentence with, ''The way things unsed to be''. Guny living in the past.
