I thought we discussed this yesterday.
All I want is my money.
There's people here. We can discuss this another time.
Every time I have to come get my rent.
It's every three months.
'I'll try to get the bag like this!'
'It tickles!'
Sanchez, I've got bigger problems.
I'll clear it up tomorrow.
Pay me that money or I'll call the City Marshal.
Three months rent!
What kind of operation are you guys running here anyway?
What? What?
I don't think the boss buys your story, either.
Morini was family. He was also my brother-in-law.
Sonny, I'm sad about what happened, but I got shot!
You think I'm making this up?
I don't know what I fucking believe!
Joe, Snake. Go to the garage, get some cars.
First thing tomorrow, take Mr Vargo
to his castle in the woods.
- Right now? - No, next fucking week!
Let's go!
Passenger pigeon!
Somebody grab the goddamn thing!
- Grab him, Vinny. - Yeah.
I got him. Here you go.
Get out with that flying rat.
Just get the message off him.
Send him home, Vinny.
It says, "If a samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off,
"he should still be able to perform one more action...
"with certainty. "
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
It's poetry.
The poetry of war.
Excuse me, excuse me!
Step into the alley, please!
OK!
Plan B.
Hello, I'm Bob Solo. I'm with West Side Realty.
I have an appointment with Mr Vargo.
How did you get in the gate, Mr Solo?
Mr Valerio gave me the code.
It's very important. I may have a buyer for the estate.
Go inside, Sammy. Check this out.
I'll stay here with our Mr Solo.
Mind if I stretch my legs?
No, you stay in the car, Mr Solo.
OK.
Why don't I give you my card?
Jeez...
You sonofa...
Sonofabitch!
Jesus, it's the fucking birdman!
Ah, Jesus...
I've been expecting you.
It's you again.
You borrowed my book.
Goddammit! You shot me in the same place as last time.
I'm your retainer. I don't mean you no disrespect.
Besides, I don't want to put too many holes in you.
Where's Sonny Valerio, Louie?
I'll see you later, Louie.
Vinny? Vinny?
I'm in here, Louie.
Wow!
That's a big bear you killed there.
Yep. The fucker weighs about 300 pounds.
Yeah.
It's funny. I didn't even know it was bear-hunting season.
What are you, a game warden? Some kinda Fed?
No, no. I'm just asking, you know, just asking.
Well, I'll tell ya.
There aren't too many of these big black fuckers left here.
So when you get a clear shot at it, you sure as hell take it.
That's why you shoot 'em...
.. 'cause there're not that many left?
I don't think I understand your question.
You know, there ain't that many coloured people here, neither.
You oughta get back in your car and go about your own business.
Yeah... maybe you're right.
Jesus Christ, you fucking hit my knee!
You know, in ancient cultures...
bears were considered equal with men.
This ain't no ancient culture here, mister.
Sometimes it is.
'Aaaahh... '
You know, Louie...
There's one good thing about this Ghost Dog guy.
What's that, Vin?
He's sending us out in the old way.
Like real fucking gangsters.
Hang on, Vin. You're gonna make it. Just hang in there.
Oh, Christ! Fucking five-o.
Remain inside the vehicle.
When you're in the city, you never see a cop,
but here, they're like the fucking Gestapo!
Like we're in some fucking foreign country!
My friend has to get to a hospital.
What happened to your arm?
I'm fine, it's my friend here.
License and registration, please.
We don't have time!
Don't push me, mister! Remain inside the vehicle.
Oh, yeah... This is terrific.
What's the situation here, sir?
Let's get the fuck out of here, Louie!
Jesus, Vin! You just iced a woman, you know that?
You know what you are, Louie?
You're a fucking male chauvinist pig.
What do you mean, I'm a male chauvinist pig?
- You just shot a broad! - A cop!
I just shot a cop.
They wanna be equal... I made her equal.
Vin?
Hey, Vin! You with me over there?
Oh, no. No...
Hey, Raymond.
I ain't seen you in a while, man.
That little girl, Pearline?
She probably wanted to give me that book back.
I wonder what she thought about it. Hey, man...
It's a little big, but one of those Haitian tailors
can cut up, fit it for you.
Yeah, that's for you.
Hi, guys!
My fucking Jaguar! Shit! Fuck!
You got a phone? Oh, man.
Shit!
What the fuck?
Ghost Dog. Power and equality.
Always see everything, my brother.
Raymond! Raymond, man. Hey.
You look worried.
Don't worry, man. It's OK.
It's all right. I need to get inside the truck, all right?
Let me get in the truck.
Turn around, man.
Turn around, turn around.
No, no... No, thanks. I'm not hungry.
Here, I wanna give you this.
I don't want you to worry, Raymond.
Don't you worry about nothing.
Everything happens for a reason.
You know that guy who was here, with his arm in a sling?
Yeah... I know that guy.
He's name's Louie.
I'm his retainer.
See, once, a long time ago,
he helped me out.
You motherfucker!
What's going on? What's the problem here?
'And I owed him for that.
'See, a samurai must ALWAYS stay loyal to his boss.
'No matter what happens. '
Anyway, me and him, we're from different ancient tribes.
And now, we're both almost extinct.
Sometimes...
you gotta stick with the ancient ways.
The old-school ways.
I know you understand me.
Hello? Anyone home in there?
No, but thank you. I'm not really hungry.
Ghost Dog, I brought your book back.
I finished it a few days ago, but I didn't see you.
What did you think?
I liked all six different stories.
Ancient Japan was a pretty weird place.
But I especially liked the first story.
It's one story, but each person sees a totally different story.
- That was really good. - "Yabu No Naka".
That's my favourite, too.
Well, thank you for returning it,
and thank you for your comments.
- Will you do me a favour? - What?
Take this book... and you read it some time.
You don't gotta read it right away.
OK. Is it good?
Yeah, well... I liked it a lot.
It's not exactly a story, it's kind of a...
Ghost Dog!
You should go home now.
What is this, Louie?
"High Noon"?
This is the final shoot-out scene?
I guess it is.
Yeah...
Well, it's very dramatic.
It's very dramatic... and I understand.
You have to avenge the death of your bosses, right?
Well, OK, then.
Stay back!
Raymond! Stay back.
Now you're gonna be the boss of your own clan, right, Louie?
'Cause... there ain't nobody else left...
Ain't that right, Louie?
No, not exactly, Ghost Dog.
Stay there!
It's like you said, better you than me, right?
Nothing makes any sense any more.
It's OK, Louie.
I've seen everything I need to see.
Do me one favour, though. One favour.
What do you want me to do?
You take this book...
and read it some time. Then, later on...
you can tell me what you think.
Yeah... sure.
Let's go! Let's get out of here!
This is my book.
No, Miss Vargo, I got it from the guy, from Ghost Dog!
Can we get out of here?
It takes place in ancient Japan.
You should read it.
We can go now.
Pearline, you're in the way, honey.
Why don't you go in the other room to read your book, darling?
