I hate the sun. Let's go inside, will ya?
What else do you hate?
I hate the ocean, and I hate the beach, and I hate the sun.
And the grass and the trees and I hate heat!
- Charlie? - What?
What do you like?
I like spaghetti with clam sauce. Mountains.
Francis of Assisi.
Chicken with lemon and garlic.
John Wayne.
You know, there aren't any mountains in Manhattan.
Tall buildings. Same thing. And I like you.
I like it here alone.
You know, I'm really going to take that apartment... the one uptown.
- Are you? - Yeah, I'm really gonna do it.
Why don't ya this time?
I'm gonna. The hell with my parents. I just can't take it anymore.
I think it would be a good move.
And I'm gonna do it.
So what are ya waitin' for?
For you.
Teresa, now ya can't wait for me.
I'm closin' in on somethin' in the neighborhood. I gotta stay.
What are you afraid of?
Afraid? What are ya talkin' about, afraid? Go on. What's stoppin' you?
You say you're not afraid of your parents, so go ahead, move out.
All I've got is the neighborhood.
What about me?
The neighborhood and the guys...
That's all that's important to me right now.
Right, guys like my cousin, Johnny.
No, not exactly your cousin, Johnny.
Well, I hope not, because he is crazy!
He's drivin' me nuts. How can you be with him all the time?
He's like an insane person!
What's wrong with you?
How can you talk that way about your own cousin?
That's terrible.
Who's gonna help him if I don't?
It's supposed to matter. Nobody tries anymore.
Tries what?
Just tries to help, that's all. To help people.
You help yourself first.
Bullshit, Teresa. That's where you're all wrong!
Francis of Assisi had it all down.
- He knew. - What are you talkin' about?
Saint Francis didn't run numbers.
Me, neither. I don't run numbers.
Diane, how're you feeling?
Fine. Excuse me, please.
You know, Diane, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while now.
Excuse me.
Besides all that jokin' around that you and I do...
- You know, when you're on, I... - Excuse me.
I really think you're a terrific performer.
Fine.
Hey, no, I'm serious. You're really very good.
I know.
Groovy.
In a little while I'm gonna have the opportunity of openin' my own place.
Much nicer.
Much nicer than this.
Uptown, sort of a nightclub restaurant and everything.
I was thinkin' you'd do much... You'd do very nicely for the place.
Dancin'?
No, as the hostess. That's nice.
Hostess?
The people come in, you greet 'em and you show 'em to the tables.
Listen, why don't we get together later on?
We'll talk about it a little bit.
- Chinese food? - Hey, Chinese food.
Where do you want me to drop you off?
No, don't stop. Just pass by real slow, okay?
Hey, stop there.
What, am I crazy?
Would you take me back to where you picked me up?
- Sorry. - All right.
Hey, you crazy?
That's all I need now: to get caught in the Village with a melange.
Hi, Lou.
- Come sta? - Fine, thank you.
- Good to see you. - Good to see you.
Here you go, Lou.
- How are ya, kid? - Nice to see you.
- Giovanni, can I sit? - Sure.
Can I talk?
What is it?
It's about Groppi.
I know all about it. We'll discuss it later, huh?
Sure, I understand. Shall I serve the tripe now?
- Anytime. Thank you, Oscar. - You're welcome.
They are not like us.
They know where to come when they need us.
I realized this a long time ago, during World War II.
Charlie Lakey was working for the government, taking care of the docks.
What did he do?
He was there, that's what he did.
I said the same thing to your father 20 years ago.
He didn't listen.
You're still around that kid, Johnny Boy.
This Johnny Boy is named after me.
Nice, huh? Oh, sure.
But this Johnny Boy is a little bit like your friend, Groppi. Half-crazy.
I understand you try to help him out because of our family and his family.
Well, that's nice. I understand.
But watch yourself, don't spoil anything.
Honorable men go with honorable men.
Don't forget that.
His whole family has problems.
His cousin, the girl who lives next door to you...
- Teresa. - The one who's sick in the head.
No, she's got epilepsy.
That's what I said. She's sick in the head.
Her mother and father came to me for advice.
She wants her own apartment. What am I gonna tell 'em? Lock her up?
You know I'm cumparo with them.
So I listen.
I have to take an interest.
You live next door. Keep an eye open.
But don't get involved.
Charlie, why don't you take a look around the place if you want to?
I've been in and outta this place about 50 times already.
Well, maybe you missed something.
After all, you should get to know the place.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ, you are disgusting!
Hi, Charlie, how are ya? Hot enough for ya?
Yeah, how are ya doin' there, Cookie?
Fine.
Teresa!
Downstairs.
Meet me downstairs now. Yeah.
What is it?
Come on.
I can't make it tonight.
All right, so, is that all? So I'll see you on Friday?
Friday...
I can't make it Friday either.
What do you mean?
I can't see you for a while.
Don't tell me that.
- Teresa. - Why?
Because you're fuckin' things up! Between you and Johnny...
- you're gonna ruin everything for me. - What?
Ruin what...?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Rucco, pardon me. Come on inside.
Why am I ruining everything?
Because. Be quiet! I'll give you a slap in the mouth, Teresa! Shut up!
Listen to me for a minute.
My uncle wants me to run a restaurant...
but I gotta stay away from you and Johnny.
- Does he know about you and me? - No.
Does he know about Johnny and those loans?
No, what are ya kiddin' me? Of course not.
He doesn't understand, Johnny.
You know, he's just a kid who needs to be...
Answer me!
What do you want from me?
I said, "Do you feel the way he does about me?"
No!
I don't feel that way. I don't want to stop seein' you.
What are you afraid of?
I love you.
- I don't want to say that. - What?
- That. - What? That you love me?
Let's just get out of here.
Let me get the restaurant first, all right? Then I think things are gonna be easier.
Okay.
So, where have you been?
Around.
You heard what happened to Groppi, huh?
Groppi? No, what?
Well, Oscar found out where his partner is.
It seems Groppi went to visit his mother.
He went to her room where she was watching television...
and he says to her that he's sorry.
That's all. Just, he's sorry.
He goes into the next room, gets a gun, puts it in his mouth...
That's it!
How do you like that? I tell you that Groppi was always half-crazy...
half-crazy to say the least.
What is it?
Not now, huh?
Doesn't he see that we are talking?
A couple of minutes, will ya? Outside.
What does he want?
He wants to talk to me about somethin'.
Hey, you spit on my shoe.
Okay, Charlie, lot of aggravation though, you know.
Like Johnny Boy...
I figure...
I give him all the breaks I can give him.
- Oh, look, Michael... - No.
No, Charlie, it's no good, see? He's a punk bastard, Charlie.
I call them down there at work and I ask them...
if Johnny Boy's there. He doesn't even show up anymore.
- They told ya that down at his place? - Yeah.
How's he gonna pay me, Charlie?
I've talked to him, I've talked to him.
- What more can I do? - I don't know.
Tonight at the party, the three of us get together...
and we knock some sense into his head. Okay?
All right, Charlie. You know I don't like bein' taken advantage of.
I mean, you're inside there with your uncle and all that.
It's kind of embarrassing to me, you know?
I apologize, Michael. We had some business.
Private. Ya know what I mean?
I'm late. I gotta meet someone.
All right. We'll settle it tonight.
- Okay. - Ciao.
And, Michael, I appreciate what you're doin' for me.
All right.
- Very intelligent, too, you know? - Yeah.
She's goin' to college. She's gonna be a schoolteacher.
I've been out with her a few times.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Let me see that picture. - Yeah, she's gonna be a teacher.
- Oh, I know this girl. - Yeah?
I seen her kissin' a nigger under the bridge in Jersey.
What are you talkin' about?
A nigger, as in... As in black, a nigger.
What do ya mean, kissin'?
I mean kissing. Her lips on his lips. Kissing.
- You sure? - I'm sure.
I kissed her.
Don't worry about it, brother.
Hallelujah, I've come to create order. Carl, J&B and soda, please.
God be with you and with his spirit.
- Let me ask you somethin'. - What?
Art thou the king of the Jews?
Does thou say this of thyself or have others told thee of me?
Am I a Jew?
My kingdom's not of this world.
Jerry, hey, how ya doin'?
To Jerry...
who served in Vietnam.
The immortal words of John Garfield:
"Get him in the eyes, get him right in the eyes."
Came back with a silver star. From the boys.
Drinks for everybody!
Hey, drinks for everybody!
Could make a shirt outta that, Jerry.
- We drinkin' or we bullshittin'? - We're bullshittin'!
George, my man.
Watch this.
Put your mouth down there.
- Michael. - What?
Play only old ones tonight.
Only old ones.
"Did you ever hear of a wish sandwich?
"It's the kind that you're supposed to take...
"two pieces of bread and wish you had some meat.
"The other day I ate a ricochet biscuit.
"It's the kind that's supposed to bounce off the wall back in your mouth.
"If it don't bounce back, you go hungry!"
Charlie, Flash ain't here yet.
He said he'd be here.
Well, he isn't. Nice, real nice.
He'll be here.
Look...
I'll give ya $20 to hold ya for now.
What, are ya kidding? Twenty dollars doesn't pay the interest for two hours.
- Now with a vig, it's almost $3,000. - Three thousand?
Shit, you charge a guy from the neighborhood 1,800 vig?
One day he's late with his payments.
What am I, his father?
Ya could have come to me a little sooner, friend.
Charlie, this is business.
Be realistic.
Where's he gonna come up with $3,000, huh?
Let's work somethin' out.
Make it $1,800.
Don't hustle me.
I'm not hustlin' you.
Let's make it $2,000.
All right, now you're bein' sensible about it.
I swear to Jesus Christ and the goddamn cross.
If he thinks he's makin' a jerk off outta me, I'll break his legs.
Michael, come on, huh?
You should be smart enough not to get involved.
Don't tell me what to do, huh?
I'm tellin' you the truth.
The fuckin' truth is you're more involved than anyone.
What do I look like, a jerk?
On next payday I'm comin' down here to Tony's.
Johnny Boy better show or I'm gonna find him and...
I'm gonna break his fuckin' legs.
We understand each other?
I heard ya.
Good.
Amen, I say to thee.
Thou will not come out from it till thou hast paid the last penny.
Michael, you look tired.
You said it.
Jerry, take it easy! We're in America, Jerry!
Dance?
Do you like this song?
Charlie, there's a girl here to see you.
- Charlie? - What is it? What's wrong?
Johnny Boy is up on that building on the corner.
He's been on the roof for half an hour.
- All right, don't get excited. - He's got a gun.
Don't get excited.
- You stay here. - I'm coming with you.
- Teresa, stay here. - I don't want to...
You stay here. Tony...
Hey, Teresa, stay here.
- Come on, have a drink. - I don't want a drink.
- Carl, give her a drink. - I don't want one!
Have a drink.
- I'll have a seven and seven. - Okay.
Charlie. Hey, watch out.
Crazy bastard's on the roof.
Johnny! It's me, Charlie!
Hey, watch this!
I'll shoot the light out in the Empire State Building.
Hey, cut it out, stupid. It's me.
Hey, what do ya got up there?
A.38!
- That ain't real, is it? - Yeah.
What's wrong with him? I'll throw that fucker off the roof.
Oh, shit. Hey, lady, I'm sorry. Lady, I didn't mean it, I swear to God!
I'm very sorry.
Are you crazy? What are you doin'?
I scared the shit out of 'em!
Very funny. Give me that.
I hate that lady. I tried to get her clothesline.
What's wrong with you?
What do ya mean?
You have Teresa half-crazy about this.
Why? I wasn't shootin' at nobody. Just up in the air.
I want to wake up the neighborhood. It's dead.
I hate that woman with a vengeance, a passion.
You and your numbers!
Fuckin' chicken shits!
Back to Bataan.
Now they're gonna get a real back to Bataan.
An atom bomb, wake up the neighborhood.
- What the fuck? Put that out! - Put what out?
- Johnny, put that out! - Surprise, you want to see?
- Want to see? - Johnny, put that...
Let's hide in here for a while.
What's wrong with the door?
- What are you kickin', stupid? Get in there. - About time.
Remember when we played hide-and-seek?
Never mind that. What's this crap about last week?
What?
You got some balls not showin' up for work last week.
After all we had to do to get you on that truck, stupid!
What's the matter with you?
Charlie, come on, man. My arm was hurtin'...
Your hand was hurtin'. Your mouth's gonna hurt from this kick!
For what? Hey, I swear to you, what are you talkin' about?
Besides, I don't like loadin' crates.
You're not supposed to like it.
What gets me is your attitude.
My attitude? What gets me is your attitude.
- Did you ever load crates? You don't work. - My attitude...
You tell me to go to work and then you do all the talkin'.
What do you do? You do nothin'.
I'll tell ya somethin' I don't do: I don't owe anybody 2,000 clams, stupid!
I got Michael to make it $2,000, give ya a break on that.
Oh, yeah?
Go to work tomorrow or I'll break both your arms.
- We understand each other? - Yeah.
I'm sorry. I really am. I mean...
'cause I appreciate everything you're doin' for me. I mean, I do.
So I was figurin' that the next logical thing to do... Don't get mad!
- How? - I know how you get.
- You know a way out of this? - Yeah.
Well, let me hear this one.
Talk to your uncle.
Oh, that'd be just really great for you, wouldn't it, huh?
But not for me!
Johnny, one more word out of your mouth, my uncle hears one word about this...
All right.
I was just askin', that's all.
That's what I get for gettin' involved.
Look...
on payday, at least show up at Tony's place to meet him, okay?
This way he won't think you're tryin' to make a jerk off out of him.
- Yeah, all right. - I'm not askin' ya, I'm tellin' ya!
- Johnny, come on. - What?
Come on.
What, we are goin' now?
- Hey, Shorty! - Fuck you, Charlie, will you?
Shorty, you must be havin' illusions of grandeur.
What do ya want from me? Talk to him.
Gonna see you and Johnny Boy down here tonight, right?
Yeah, we'll be here.
I'm tellin' ya, Charlie, that kid doesn't show up tonight, I'll find him.
I'm gonna drag him down here.
I'll tie one of his legs to that Cadillac bumper.
I'll tie the other to the Ford. And, boom!
We'll be here!
Better be here, Charlie.
Michael, don't you fuckin' threaten me.
Miss? Excuse me, Miss?
What do you want?
I just want you to remind your cousin he's gotta see Michael tonight.
Then tell him yourself.
I'd love to. Where is he?
I don't know. He's not here.
He's here all the time.
- Fuck you! - Fuck me?
Why am I taking this from you?
Look what you did...
Here.
What am I doin'?
Would you just give me my fuckin' eggplant, please?
You got some mouth, you know that?
Get outta here!
Now just be sure and tell him to be here tonight, all right?
You sure he didn't say anything about tonight?
I told you before, nothing.
Charlie, will you listen to me? I can't stay here too long this time of night.
Now, Michael was looking for him.
- What's happening? - Nothin'.
I don't believe you.
Son of a bitch.
What? What did you just say?
Teresa, watch the hands already!
Charlie, what do you think?
Well, don't you realize what this apartment means?
Maybe after a while you could even move in yourself.
Enough with that apartment already! I don't want to hear anymore!
I got enough on me with your bastard cousin.
You want to move, go on. But leave me out of it!
Teresa, I didn't mean that, but we've got a situation right now.
- Yeah, a situation. - Come on.
Look, go and play your fuckin' games with that dunkhead. I don't care.
Teresa, it's no game.
- Hey, hello. - Where were you?
Where was I? I was around.
Answer me, you son of a bitch! Where were you? Shut up!
Shut up, Teresa. We don't want to get Charlie in trouble here, do we?
Don't be cute. I've been goin' crazy here!
What's the matter with you?
You're about an hour and a half late!
Oh, that's too bad.
Michael's waitin' for us. You forget or what?
Your cousin was gettin' sick worryin' about you.
We'd have started callin' up everybody!
Yeah? That's too bad. Isn't that too bad?
Huh, Teresa?
So, kiddies, yas make any plans yet, or what?
When are yas gettin' married?
- Gonna get engaged? - Don't get smart.
What do ya mean? I'm stupid, remember?
- You heard me. - I'm a stronzo.
I'm so stupid you gotta look out for me, right?
What's the matter? Hey, Teresa.
She's upset. Now what are you so upset about?
You don't understand Charlie.
Charlie likes everybody, everybody likes Charlie.
- Enough! - Fuckin' politician over here.
- Watch your mouth! - I'm goin' home.
Hey, no. Wait Teresa! Teresa, whoa!
Hold it. Teresa, come on, stay here.
I don't wanna break up a nice, happy household here.
- No, I'll be honest... - Stop foolin' around.
I swear to God, if you open your mouth about any of this...
About what?
You know what I'm talkin' about.
About what? You two?
Who cares? I won't even say nothin' to my aunt and uncle.
The guys don't give a shit. What do they care?
I won't even say nothin' to your uncle, Giovanni.
I wanted to ask you somethin', Charlie.
I always wondered about her. This is the God's honest truth.
I always wondered about what happens when she comes. She get a fit?
What happens when she comes, I mean...
You dirty, fuckin' bastard! Don't ever hit me again!
I'll tell your uncle!
- Go ahead. Do it! - Right now!
I'll tear your fuckin' eyes outta your head!
- I'm gonna kill you, bastard! - Go on!
Teresa! What did you do? You know about this?
Hey, how should I know? She's your fuckin' girl.
Teresa?
Hey, you! Come here, get out!
Do you know what to do?
I don't know. She had an attack.
What do you mean what you did for me? You didn't do nothin' for me, you fuck!
Fuckin' bastard, you're a fuckin' bastard!
- Come on. - You're a fuckin' bastard!
Come on, what are you doin'?
What are you doin' for me?
Don't show up tonight. We'll see what happens to you.
How much money you got for Michael tonight?
I got nothin'.
You got anything?
I got eight fuckin' dollars on me.
Well then, here. Take $20. Take $22. At your rate that'll...
make $30 we'll give to Michael. I'll keep $11 for the weekend.
Maybe we'll get some chinks later.
Take it stupid, I'm doin' it for you! Come on.
Carryin' on, huh? Cut it out, will ya?
Come on, Charlie. $30 ain't nothin', you know that.
The only way you're gonna do is if you talk to your uncle.
- That's it. - Get away.
- Why not? - I ain't gonna do it. Forget about that.
Did I hurt you?
You're over an hour late. Michael said he'd be back though.
- Have a drink. - I don't want any.
Hey, cut it out, will ya?
- Where are ya goin'? - To the bathroom.
All right, now. Take it easy, don't get excited.
No!
Who's the girl?
Jewish.
- How do you know? - Look at her.
She don't look Jewish.
She's in here every night with a different guy. You know how they are.
I love you.
Ever since that first day when I saw you playing volleyball with the nuns...
I couldn't help myself.
- Let's go. - Fuck off.
- Let's go. - You go. I'm staying.
It's obvious the girl doesn't want to go with you. What do you think?
Look, fella, this is private.
Nothin' is private.
I want to go.
If she wants to go or not, she's not. How's that?
Let go of her.
- Take her away. - You're hurting me!
Physically, you take her away from me. Go ahead.
You bastard!
Hey, Joyce?
Maybe we'll meet at bingo some night.
Hey, Mike!
What's the story, John?
I was here earlier tonight. You kept me waiting for an hour.
Hey, I'm sorry, Mikey, but you know...
I had somethin' to do.
But I got somethin' for ya.
Not much, but I got somethin' for ya.
He has about $30. That's all he's got on him, Michael.
- Where's the rest? - Yeah, where's the rest?
I bought a few rounds of drinks while I was waitin'.
You know what I mean?
Tony says my credit ain't no good no more.
You know $30 is enough of an insult.
But I'd take it for Charlie here.
John...
$10!
You're really somethin', you know that?
You too good for this $10, huh?
It's a good $10.
You know somethin', Mikey?
You make me laugh, you know that?
I borrow money all over this neighborhood...
left and right, from everybody, and I never paid 'em back.
So I can't borrow no money from nobody no more, right?
Who does that leave me to borrow money from but you?
I borrow money from you because you're the only jerk off around...
that I could borrow money from without payin' back, right?
'Cause that's what you are...
that's what I think of you, a jerk off.
He's smilin' because you're a jerk off. You're a fuckin' jerk off.
And I'll tell you somethin' else.
Mikey, I fucked you right where you breathe...
'cause I don't give two shits about you or nobody else.
Easy!
Come on, fuck-face!
I got somethin' for ya, motherfucker! Come on.
I'm a big shot.
Come on, D.D., Disappointed Duncesky.
Right, asshole! Come on.
You don't have...
- You don't have the guts to use it. - I don't, huh?
I don't have the guts. Come on, asshole. Come over here.
I'll put this up your ass!
Hey, asshole, this is for you asshole.
Fuckin' asshole.
You stupid bastard, were you gonna use that?
Were you gonna use that?
Fuck, fuck, fuck! I'll fuckin' kill you, Johnny.
Big fuckin' man.
All right.
So, now you did it.
No bullets in this.
Now ya did it!
Get him outta here before this blows up.
Hide the gun, Tony. Throw it away.
Listen, Tony, I gotta borrow your car. We oughta...
take a ride. We shouldn't be around here now.
Don't go driving around. Go to a movie or somethin'.
This is no good, all right. You know what I mean?
- You understand? - Maybe.
You got what you wanted.
Get in the car, John!
Murderer!
Teresa, you all right?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I told ya I'm sorry.
He's in trouble.
What do you mean? What's going on?
Look, Teresa, just trouble, all right?
We gotta leave for a few days, till I get a chance to talk to some people.
I need a couple of bucks to get to Greenwood Lake.
- Where are you goin'? - To Greenwood Lake.
- I'm coming with you. - No, you're not.
Do you want more trouble? I'm comin' with you.
Teresa, I got no time for this.
- So, what happened? - Forget it.
I really think we should talk to your uncle. That's the only way.
No!
- What happened? - It's all right, Teresa. Will you forget it?
What are you gonna do, hide me or what?
That's right.
I guess you could safely say that things haven't gone so well tonight.
But I'm tryin', Lord. I'm tryin'.
What are you, talkin' to yourself?
Louder, louder!
Go right ahead. Turn on the radio, John!
We're goin' to a party. How about some fun?
Where are you goin'? To Brooklyn?
Why don't ya make it louder? Go ahead!
- Where are we goin'? - Seriously, do you know?
Where are we goin'? You don't know where you're goin'.
We don't know Brooklyn. What's this?
Right you are.
Is this the right way?
Do I know Brooklyn? Do I know the jungle?
Watch them...
- Watch where you're goin'! - You're crazy!
You're outta your mind. Didn't you see that light?
The light was red, right?
- Slow down. Will you slow down? - What does red mean?
I wish you'd slow down your mouth a little.
What is that guy, crazy?
Hey, jerk!
Now's the time!
Get down!
John!
Johnny!
Get down!
Get down! Johnny!
Good luck and God bless you.
