Uh, sure.
(ENGINE IDLING)
So, uh, what are you doin' now?
Probably grab some food.
North Shore?
Sorry... full booth tonight.
Yeah, bullshit it's full!
No, I'm not seeing Robocop.
I know, I hate cops
and I hate robots.
Guys, I know I sound
like a broken record, but...
The Princess Bride is like
the best thing...
I've seen in like five years.
You don't wanna tell people
that.
I saw it with my father
last weekend.
- That makes it...
- Now I'm thinking about it...
- nonstop, it was so good.
- That makes it even worst.
- Saw it last week with my father?
- They're not fuckin' into it.
- Hey, Didi.
- Didi!
- The usual.
- The same.
I'll have the same.
What was that?
- What?
- The menu?
I was just... wondering what
else they have.
After three years of coming
here?
Yeah, maybe there's
something else.
Better than a double
cheeseburger deluxe...
side of disco fries and a Coke?
Not... better just...
different.
Cubbies comin' to town
this week.
- GIO: Yeah?
- ANT: Mm-hm.
Gonna be a lot of nice cars,
Benzis, Beemers.
- We should do a run.
- Definitely.
Let me come.
Again, Ant?
Why not?
You know why, you'd fuck it up.
You don't know that.
What we do, you gotta be cool
under pressure.
It takes a certain amount
of cool. And you...
You ain't exactly Steve
McQueen.
No, yeah, you're not Bullitt.
Okay I have other skills
though... I've, I've...
Like what?
I can fit through windows better
than you guys can...
fuckin', beefy gorilla-type.
Ladies like it.
Ladies like it, a certain kind
of lady, not a very smart lady.
Are you sayin' we don't get
smart chicks?
I'm saying there's a
correlation...
between the kind of hot girls
you get...
and the kind, dumb girls
you get.
Wow! Correlation, that's a big
word!
Thank you. I've been studying,
my brother's got a Thesaurus.
Jesus!
He does.
ANNOUNCER (OVER RADIO): El Sid, turning up

Lenny, watch the counter.
Let's see what you got.
Not bad. Not bad.

It's Friday night, of course
I'm gonna go out.
Ogni sera, Friday night, every

You gotta think of the future,
Gio, il futuro!
Come on, Pa, the future speech

Look-a you brotha. He go to da

He use-a the brain. Come on!
Gio, your brotha, he studied
the business, right?
He got a nice girl.
I got a girl, I got lots
of girls.
Gio, a nice girl.
Some of 'em are real nice.
What kinda girl you think
you gonna find...
on the street, on the
boulevard?
Una puttana!
Huh? You think I meet-ah you
mother on the street?
- Come on!
- I'll see you guys later.

A fantasy that was all

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
Aw, fuck!
Oh...
Good evening, Officer Brant.
What did we talk about the
other night, Gio?
The catalytic converter.
Oh, uh... it's attached.
I can hear your exhaust
from Flushing.
You think I cut off my
converter?
Oh, come on!
Attach it.
Seventy fuckin' five?
- Jesus!
- What? What, dollars?
Yeah, I...
No, drachmas, you fuckin' goon,
what is wrong with you?
Dude, what the fuck, you don't
have to yell.
I'm gettin' a cone.
ANNOUNCER (OVER RADIO):
The same, old music...
Look, I don't care what you say,
Cookie Puss is not a cat.
Dude, why would they call him
"Puss" if he wasn't a cat?
He's a space alien, do you not
see the commercial?
He's a space alien... he's
a cat from outer space!
Yeah... what, what are you doing?
Oof... that is a one,
lucky cone.
- What's your name?
- Francesca.
Francesca what?
Russo.
Francesca Russo.
All right, just to give you
a heads up...
in about a year, it's gonna
be Francesca Fortunato.
- Is that so?
- Just thought you should know...
in case you, you know,
order new checks and whatnot.
- That's very considerate of you.
- I'm a very considerate guy.
Where you from, Francesca?
- Brooklyn.
- Brooklyn, nice.
Where exact?
- Bay Ridge.
- Bay Ridge.
You got the Verrazano, we got
the Whitestone, mini version.
Do you come here often?
Ah, y'know...
How's it I never seen you?
Lotta people...
I'da noticed you.
Gio.
- Fortunato.
- Hm, smart girl.
- So, when's the wedding?
- You and me?
As soon as possible.
- Where are you going?
- Dress shopping.
Can I get your number?
Nah.
Well, how about I give you
my beeper?
No, I'm good... I'll...
(ENGINE STARTING)
I'll see you at the chapel.
You seriously don't want
my beeper?
Are you fuckin' kidding me?
Go get her, Romeo!
(MUSIC PLAYING)
What do you want?
What do you think he wants?
He wants to... fuck you!
Is she right?
You want to fuck me?
I mean... yeah.
Wait. You're not actually...
Okay.
Okay...?
Okay, let's fuck.
(MOANING)
GIO: Aw, fuck!
Do I get your number now?
That's my beeper.
Are you hungry?
Me and my boys are gonna
hit the diner.
You're welcome to come.
ANT: She said no?
You invited her to the diner
and she said no.
Maybe she's playing hard to get.
Who plays hard to get
after you fuck them?
Guys... every guy on Earth.
It makes no sense. She liked me.
- Did she come?
- Of course, she came.
- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
I don't know, cuz.
Doesn't sound like Cabriolet
got properly dicked.
Fuck off!
Get that Carbone bastone,
know what I'm saying?
- (PHONE RINGS)
- Huh?
I'm guessing that wasn't...
(CALL RINGING)
AUTOMATED VOICE (OVER PHONE): We're
sorry, you have reached a number...
that has been disconnected
or is no longer in service.
If you feel you have reached
this recording in error...
please check the number
and try your call again.
No fucking way!
Yeah, it's impossible.
It's like... like two plus two
equals five.
Are you gonna eat your pizza?
CARBONE: Aw, it happens, cuz.
Not to Gio Fortunato.
- Maybe she wrote it down wrong.
- Her own number?
Oh, hell yes!
Porsches are tough.
Not for Chris Carbone.
Remember that 944, at the
temple?
Just pull the fuck over!
Fuckin' idiot, hurry up!
Jesus Christ.
You're spotted.
Let's go!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
- (GLASS SMASHING)

What the fuck you doin'?
God-fucking-damn it.
Fucking idiot.
Fucking asshole! Get in the
fuckin' car!
- Whoo!

- Fuckin' Nakamichi, bro!
- Oh, shit!

- Yeah!
Fuck, yeah! Whoa, yeah!
Three hundo, easy, cuz.
Video Vic's gonna cream his
fuckin' sweatpants.
- What the fuck?
- What are you doing?
Hello?
Depeche Mode.
When? They just announced. Two
at the Garden, one at Nassau.
Francesca... Francesca!
Francesca?
Oh my God, is that... him?
Your Italian stallion?
Hey...
I'm not really Francesca.
My name's Jessica... Jessica
Weinberg.
Francesca's my bad-girl alias,
yes.
Oh my God!
The fuck was that?
Cabriolet.
That's Cabriolet?
Fuckin' JAP was playing
dress-up.
Thought it'd be fun to play
guidette for a night.
Take a little walk on the
wild side, cunt!
(SPEAKING ITALIAN)
(BEEPER RINGS)
And... Manny...
Thanks, Mom, it's good.

Hot steamy night alone
I wait for you
Cold brittle morning alone

(BEEPER RINGS)
(CALL RINGING)
JESSICA (OVER PHONE):
Hello?
Yeah, I got a call from this
number?
Gio?
GIO (OVER PHONE):
And this is...?
Uh... Jessica.
Francesca-Jessica.
What do you want?
JESSICA (OVER PHONE): I just wanted
to call and say "I'm sorry."
I-I didn't think I would ever
see you again.
Surprise, surprise.
You must think I'm such
an asshole.
GIO (OVER PHONE):
Nah.
JESSICA (OVER PHONE):
Jappy, little suburban girl...
having her little adventure
in Queens.
Well, yeah, pretty much.
I actually had a really
good time.
It was the most fun
I've had all summer.
It's so boring in Great Neck,
you can't imagine.
Why do you live there?
I'm just home for the summer.
Yeah?
I'm in college, I go to Brown.
Oh... Brown...
okay... um... where's that at?
Rhode Island...
I should've stayed in Providence
this summer.
What the hell was I thinking?
I don't know...
maybe you were thinking
you'd meet a real, cool guy.
So tell me something,
Jessica Weinberg...
Yeah?
GIO (CONT'D):
Why are you calling me?
I told you... to apologize.
GIO (OVER PHONE):
Nah, that can't be it.
What do you mean?
You want something more.
Like?
GIO (OVER PHONE):
You wanna see me again.
Oh... do I?
You do... told ya'.
I didn't say anything!
GIO (OVER PHONE): Oh, yes,
you did, you said it all.
Oh, my God!
GIO (CONT'D): Look, you're obviously
curious about the scene.
The scene?
The scene, the boulevard,
Franny Lew.
Why don't you come back...
I'll give you a grand tour,
show you the routine.
- There's a routine?
- Of course, there's a routine.
- When?
- Tonight.
You're going tonight?
I go every night.
We can't use my car tonight.
What's up?
It's all booked out.
Girl?
Cabriolet?
Are you fucking kidding me, man?
- We talked, it's all good.
- You're joking.
- She's cool.
- She's a fucking bitch!
That kosher pussy's gone to your
fuckin' brain!
Hit the beat now
Lost in emotion
First thing you do, take a
little lap around the bully.
- The bully?
- The boulevard, Franny Lew.
Ahh.
Do a once-and-back, scope out
the scene.
What are we looking for?
Just seein' who's out.
That's the Carvel Crew.
Sergio Tacchini guidos,
Bon Jovi chicks.
Who's that?
Roid boys, juiceheads.
Oh, those are the Fry Guys.
Because of, like, McDonald's
and...
- They're all fried.
- Bingo.
Those are the Nicks.
- Basketball?
- Greek.
Whitestone Lanes is the
Glow-in-the-Dark Girls.
Hot guidettes with the neon.
That'd be your spot.
You think so?
Definitely. I could definitely
see you as a Glow-In-The-Dark.
Ahh...
We should probably head up.
Head up where?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mint.
Sick.
They're impressed.
They should be. It's a 3.8-liter
sequential fuel injection turbo.
That sounds... fast.
It's the fuckin' Millennium
Falcon.
Which would make you Solo.
Look at you with the
"Star Wars"!
- Why, 'cause I'm a girl?
- Yeah.
- Ouch!
- Sexist.
So can it make the jump?
- The jump?
- To hyperspace.
Why don't you find out
for yourself?
(ENGINES REVVING)
Relax.
You're in good hands.
(ENGINES REVVING)
Three...
Two...
One.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
You okay?
Whoo!
Fuck, yes.
You hungry?
Starved.
Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Be nice or I'll kick your ass.
- The usual.
- Same.
Oh um, I'll have the Mykonos
salad with grilled chicken.
Hold the onions, please.
- And to drink?
- Uh, Diet Coke.
How's the French Dip?
Very good.
I'll do that.
And a Sprite.
What?
So, Jessica...
How's your salad?
It's delicious, would you
like a bite?
No, thank you.
So I hear you're from Great
Neck.
- I am.
- That's cool.
Not really, it's pretty much
the opposite.
Oh, shit!
- ANT: Oh, shit!
- GIO: Fuck yeah!
Lennie!
- You like baseball?
- I do.
- All right, good girl.
- Yankees all the way!
What the fuck, Yankees?
- Get the fuck outta here!
- Yankees suck!
- Don Mattingly, baby!
- What a bunch of fuckin' scrubs.
Ooh, Dan Pasqua, Bobby Meacham.
At least they're not a bunch
of cokeheads.
- Excuse me.
- What'd you just say?
- Gooden, Hernandez, Strawberry...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mookie Wilson? You're telling
me Mookie does blow?
- Mookie's clean, man.
- Fine, one guy.
Don Mattingly, he fuckin' sucks
off donkeys.
I don't think he does.
Now, Gary Carter on the
other hand...
Whoa, whoa!
I mean she was hot, but not
enough...
to get me to sit through
fuckin' "Dirty Dancing".
Fuckin' Heather Locklear
couldn't get me...
to sit through that shit.
I saw it and I actually
liked it.
Says the person with the vagina.
What's the damage?
Like nine, ten each.
But you got the French Dip.
All right.
Gold card.
From my dad, he wants me to
start building credit.
- I got you.
- You sure?
- Absolutely.
- Thanks.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- You, too.
He's so cute.
- Who? Anthony?
- Yeah.
- He gets all ladies.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- I like his car.
He's got it says "Greek God"
on the license plate.
Because he's a Greek god.
CARBONE: Yo.
What's up?
C'mere.
What do you want?
C'mere.
Be right back.
What?
What the fuck?
Check it.
No stealing at the diner,
strict rule.
EX-550, on a plate.
I got...
It'll take two seconds.
I don't want her to...
See what you do?
Fast.
Let's go.
Must be some kind of release.
Dude, hurry the fuck up.
Okay, scoot over, Jesus Christ!
Got it.
Son of a bitch.
Minchia!
Gotcha, bitch.
JESSICA: Gio, I left my lip
gloss in the diner.
What are you doing?
- We were just, uh...
- Stealing a radio.
What? It's what we do.
We steal car radios.
I'm sorry.
You never should've seen that.
My dad got his radio stolen...
I wonder if you took it.
Is that what you were doing
in Great Neck?
Look, Jess...
So how does it work?
How does what work?
Stealing radios.
You're asking me how it works?
For our next date.
Show me.
You got your Becker, your
Alpine and your Blaupunkt.
Those are the Big Three, okay?
BMWs come factory with
Blaupunkt.
You see a Beemer, there's gonna
be a Blaupunkt inside.
Same with Mercedes and the
Becker.
So those are the two
you look for?
Not necessarily.
They're worth a lot, but they're
kind of a pain in the ass.
You gotta rip 'em out,
wires and all.
Benzis, you just grab
and go.
- The pull-outs.
- Yeah.
Don't people take those
with 'em?
Nine times out of ten,
they're under the seat.
So Benzi's the way to go.
But you don't know what
you're gonna get.
Bust into a Saab with a hole
in the dash...
there could be a Kenwood
under the driver seat...
or it could be
some piece-of-shit Delco.
Fuckin' radio roulette.
Do nice cars ever have shit
radios?
Ooh, all the time, and the
reverse...
you could see some piece of shit
Gremlin with a Nakamichi in it.
Nakamichi, that's good?
That's the magic, purple
unicorn.
This is wild.
So, like, how do you break in?
Metal bar, slips right
in the door.
- You don't smash the window?
- That's for amateurs.
- What if an alarm goes off?
- You run.
- Have you ever been caught?
- Never.
- Would you go to jail?
- Not for long.
Oh, my god.
All right, let's do it.
Right.
You see a "No Radio" sign,
you know what that means?
Radio.
Wait, give it to me.
You said you were gonna show me
how it's done.
- Show you.
- I wanna do it.
- Are you serious?
- Give me the fucking bar.
All right. Feel it.
Listen.
Hook it.
It's okay, I'm your lookout.
It's not here, there is nothing.
Check under the passenger seat.
- They must've taken it.
- Pop the trunk.
- How?
- Left, by the brights.
Okay.
- Panasonic 410.
- Is that good?
It's a nice deck.
So, now what?
You take it.
(MUSIC FADES UP)
Hurry!
Get it! Go, go, go!
(MOANING)
I'm so happy I met you.
My summer was sucking majorly
until you came along.
Happy I could help.
Let's go to the city.
Manhattan?
Tomorrow. We'll hit the Village.
Sure.
Do you go much?
To the city? Y'know...
You?
As much as humanly possible.
CARBONE: Whoo! Look at you!
Where you goin'?
Catching a train.
(MUSIC FADES UP)
Are you ready boy?
You came into my life
The look in your eyes
took me by surprise
It's you and nobody else
Your love has made me so
blind I can't see
I am descending
From heaven above
So catch me
I'm falling baby
Hold onto my love
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me now I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
I never heard of a single
fuckin' one of these.
Trust.
Around here's my first choice.
I'm sure my parents would rather
get me a studio...
on the Upper East, but no way.
We'll probably end up
compromising on Gramercy.
I'm sure they'll insist
on a building with a doorman.
They want me to find an
investment property...
we can buy with my
Bat Mitzvah money.
I figure I'll start with
a gallery job...
unpaid for a year or two,
but who cares, y'know?
Be an assistant, work in Soho.
Castelli, Mary Boone, that's how
you get in the door.
Make connections, build a rep.
I'm gonna open my own gallery...
one day and discover the next
Basquiat.
- Who?
- Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Oh, we are covering it
all today.
Jean-Michel. What is he, French?
He's Haitian, he's from
Brooklyn.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
He was a graffiti kid,
dropped out of high school.
Sounds familiar.
Maybe you're in training to be
the next great artist.
Except I can't paint for shit.
Not that that stopped him.
Picasso said it took him four
years to paint like Raphael...
but a lifetime to paint
like a child.
Mm, all I know is, this guy
needs some fuckin' lessons.
Yeah, well...
Tell that to the guy who just
paid $50,000 for one.
Fifty grand?
So what do you wanna do?
I don't know. Maybe go grab
some dinner?
No, with your life.
My life?
Yeah, you can't be a radio thief
forever.
I don't know. I haven't really
thought about it.
How is that possible?
I'm just kinda livin', ya' know?
Okay... if you could do anything
you wanted...
- I can't.
- Sure you can.
- Says who?
- Says me, you're so smart.
What?
What's so funny?
I just... I've been called
a lot of things.
You're totally smart, you just
haven't been exposed.
Exposed to what?
To the world, fucking New York!
You really think I'm smart?
Yeah.
(MUSIC FADES UP)
Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through
with a bolt of blue
- It's no problem of mine

JESSICA (OVER PHONE):

I just put it on.
What do you think?

JESSICA (OVER PHONE):
England.
Yeah? I like it.
JESSICA (OVER PHONE):

We are now approaching
Flushing-Main Street.
This is my stop.
Have fun tonight?
So... where'd you two
lovebirds go?
- The city.
- The city.
- What?
- Nothing.
What are you gettin' at?
Nothing, just catching up,
ain't seen you in a while.
What are you, my wife?
Sounds like you already got one
of those.
Fuck off.
I'm just lookin' out for you,
is all.
Oh, is that what you're doing?
This chick, she don't take you
serious.
- You don't know.
- She thinks she's better than us.
- No, she doesn't.
- I saw her at the diner...
throwing around her fucking
Gold Card like she's the shit.
- She was paying.
- She doesn't carry cash.
You're a fuckin' idiot.
You actually think she's
serious about you?

- What the...
I'm not fucking good enough
for your track?
Hey, I did not say that.
You know what I think?
I don't think this has shit

I think... it's because
you're a pussy.
Excuse me?
You like to act all Miss Rebel,

little fuckin' art galleries...
but deep down, deep down...
you're scared.
