Am I late?
Right on time.
How's the club?
Fine.
Will there be anything else?
- You want anything else?
- No.
Okay. Don't get too fat.
Goddamn it. The stupid son of a bitch.
Hasn't learned yet.
Cosmo. You leave the cake at the table?
- I just wanted to thank you.
- For what?
It's been seven years. That's a long time.
For me and you.
Yeah.
- Can I buy you a drink?
- No. No, thanks.
I'm gonna have the coffee and the cake.
Is it all right?
You know it's all right. It's all there.
You want to count it again?
Nah.
Cosmo, you're a prince.
Now you can go out and work for yourself.
Marty, you're a lowlife.
No offense, but you have no style.
I do business with ya,
but you have no style.
Cosmo...
anytime you need some help...
come to me.
I don't ever want to see you again.
Don't push it.
Asshole.
I think there's a bar
on the next corner.
On the right.
Miss, may I have a scotch and water?
- Tall?
- Tall, please.
I've been pointed out by people
My name is mud
I've been dreaming all the dreams
And dancing in the evening
- Singin' in the shower
- Will you get out of here.
But nothing seems
To take your place
I'm almost in love with you
I nearly miss you
I've hardly seen you
When I do, I get
A feeling that
Something should be
There
- Do you mind if I sit down?
- Hey, I paid for the cab.
- Yeah.
- I got out. What do you want from me?
Come. Let's go.
Come on.
What's your name?
You called me Eddie just a
half hour ago. You forgot my name.
- Eddie.
- You had enough. I'm telling you.
- I had enough of you, Eddie.
- You forgot my name.
It's been a long day, Eddie.
Yeah, I know the problems you had...
- but I also know you got a family and kids...
- How do you know?
So let's blow this snake pit. Come on.
- Come on, lover.

Oh, boy. You know what you
are? You're a meshuggenah.
- You a Jew?
- Yeah. A little bit.
From where? Where were you born?
- New York.
- No kidding.
So are you. Good people
come from New York.
What part of New York?
- Every borough. Well, I missed one.
- You were born in every borough?
- No. Born...

- Born in the greatest street in the world-Mott Street.
- Mott... I know Mott Street very well.
I was born uptown.
I was born on 29th Street...

- Near Bellevue Hospital.
- Anything past Broome Street.
- Know where Bellevue Hospital is?
- Oh, yeah.
- The morgue?
- Yeah, but at least you had the river.
The beautiful river.
- All you rich people live by the river.
- We used to swim in that river when we were kids.
- You're right.
- We swam that way.
- The scum.
- You remember?
- That's right.
- The bags. The scumbags.
- I used to go to the Hudson River.
- Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
But now we're going home.
- Where?
- Your house.
There's no river there, Eddie.
Hey, pardone. You want
me to pay the driver?
Wait. Yo! Eddie!
Thank you. Right.
Nice man.
Good evening, boss.

Nice to see ya. You're back?
- Well, you don't have to worry. The place is dead.
- Oh, not again.
- Again.
- It'll pick up later on.
It'll pick up.
Hey, everything's slow. You
know, I talked to Verna.
- She said Irving's dying.
- Who's Verna?
Irving has been dead for years.
- Oh, that's not nice.
- Irving Lowe?
Rachel, could I have one
of your eyebrow pencils?
- Sure.
- It's the times.
What's the times?
- Everybody's dying.
- Well, some people are living. I wouldn't say everybody's dying.
- Teddy.
- Yeah?
I put on the news this morning.
I couldn't sleep.
- Yeah?
- These two girls in Memphis, Tennessee.
- Memphis. Yeah.
- This is gonna kill ya.
- Well, kill me.
- Early this morning, I couldn't sleep...
I don't care if it was early this
morning or late this morning.
- Oh, these boots.
- Well, this gopher...
- This gopher.
- There are a couple of kinds of gophers.
Gopher. From a hole! From a hole.
Oh, I thought you meant one that
went for coffee like you used to.
Yeah, right. No, this is a gopher...
That's terrific. Now this is broken.
- Well, gotta tell ya...
- Where did this happen, this thing with the gophers?
- Or the gopher.
- Honey, no. No chance.
- I don't know. You know.
- What are you looking for, Rachel?
I'm not the only one
in this dressing room.
- Rach.
- Rachel. What are you looking for?
Rach.
I want you to hear
this story.. all of ya.
- We're listening.
- Listening.
- These two girls caught a gopher...
- Shit. I broke a nail.
And they took the gopher home,
and they cut the tail off.
- Then they cooked the tail, and they ate it...
- For Christ's sake.
And they died of botulism.
Botulism? What do you know from botulism?
- These mine?
- Yes. The other ones are mine.
- You're not listening.
- When did you hear about botulism?
I never laughed so hard in
my life. I thought I'd die.
- I don't think it's funny.
- It isn't true. He does this all the time.
I swear to God. On my mother's grave.
- Cosmo.
- They ate... they ate... they ate the tail...
and they died of botulism.
- They died...
- That's sick.
- Well...
- Making me sick, you know.
So, what else is new?
What else is new?
What else is new? What's new
is I can't get this on right.
- The market went down.
- What canyon do?
For a change?
Oh, I'd love to get this mustache off.
And women's fashions are
changing. The skirts are gettin' longer.
- Oh, yeah?
- What do you know about women's fashions?
I look like Salvador Dali..
- All right. See you in a while.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- See you later, Cosmo.
It's all right, Vince. It'll pick up.
- Have a big night.
- Okay.
Hey, your mother's ass!
Any action?
- Are you looking for us?
- Yeah.
Come on in. There you go.

Take 'em inside. Listen, you drive around
the corner, you park in this parking lot?
All right? Okay.
Okay.
Where's the kid?
Well, where's the kid
who parks the cars, Vince?

Well, thanks. I'm sorry you brought 'em here
on a Sunday night. We're a little slow.

Sophistication here?
- He sure is.

I mean, I understand what it is on a
Sunday night. I'm a club owner myself.
- You are?
- Oh, yeah. We got a joint in Santa Monica.
It's not like this. I mean, it's a
little different. Gambling, you know.
- Yeah.
- But it's clean air, seaside.
Well I'd like a little action.
Hey, the sky's the limit
anytime you want to come out.
Right this way.
Rita, table number one.

- Oh. Sorry, sweetheart.
- Wait a minute. Hold it.
- Okay.
Got all those tiny
little bubbles in there.

I like vodka on the rocks.
- With just a little bit oaf twist.
- Yeah?
- Gets on your teeth. Real nice.

Well, I like a lot of things, but-
You're gonna like that. Drink it.

- Okay.
- How's that look? That looks awfully nice.
Yes, thank you.
All set?
Yeah. Go ahead, for Christ's sake.
Okay.
Lamarr, I thought you

- Well, I at least got the pin in.
- Right.
All right. Let's go. Here, sweetheart.
Don't spill it.
- There you go.
- Watch it.
Hand me that thing. I smell cigars.
No, it stinks like
perfume in here already.
- No.
- Give me that.
Come here, you!
- We've got plenty of time. We'll go out bouncing.
- Oh, how lovely..
- We'll go out dancing'.

Thank you, darling.
Oh, I got somethin' for you too.

It's an orchid.

- Oh, that's sweet.
- See you soon, Betty.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Night-night.
Have a nice evening.
Oh, well.
I feel like a shill sitting
around here doing nothing.
Yeah, really. Did you see that guy at that
poker table in the back giving me the eye?
- I can't take it anymore.
- Great.
Well, we can't stay in here
all night. You know what I mean?
All right, you guys.
Let's go. Come on. Come on.
Hey. Wait a minute. Wait
a minute. Just a minute.
Come on. No one's noticing your face. They're looking
at your tits, and they're looking at your ass.
Yeah.
That's your line, honey, not mine.
I got more to offer than that.
- A lot more.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay. Let's go.

Commodore, chairs.

I'm in.
Fifty and 400.
He raised it 400. 400 to
you if you care to play.
- Costs $800.
- No, no, no. Wait a minute.
- 450 it costs me.
- No, no, no.
He was in for the original $50. Fifty-dollar bet.
He called, and then he jacked it up over there.
- Oh, that's right. Listen...
- Plus $400.
I'm gonna need more credit.
I'm sorry, Mr. Vittelli. No more credit.
- Cost you $800.
- I know it costs 800!
Wait a minute, will ya? What
are you trying to do, embarrass me?
I'm sorry. No.
- Well, can I have the credit, or can't I?
- I'm sorry. There's no more.
Well, then let me see Mr. Weil.
Go get him, will ya?
The man said I could
have unlimited credit.
Unlimited credit? I never heard of such a thing.
What do you mean, "unlimited credit"?
Well, then, cash a check.
I'll cash a check for $2,000.
- No way.
- You got my checkbook?
No way, Mr. Vittelli.
I can't cash a check.
I got it right here.
What are you telling me
you can't cash my check?
Man, I'm telling ya I can't cash
a check. It means my ass if I do.
Well, how about credit cards? I got
gold credit cards, silver credit cards...
orange credit cards, green credit cards!
- Is that all right?
- All right. With credit cards I'll take a check. All right?
What does it say on your watch?
What's the name of this place?
- The Ship... ship...
- Ship Ahoy. Ship Ahoy.
Darling, don't do that.
It irritates me, will ya?
It's all right. It's only money.
This entourage of biscuits
follow you wherever you go?
Mr. Vittelli. Gentlemen,
this is Cosmo Vittelli.
- Care for a drink?
- No, thanks.
May I see your credit cards, please?
Andy our driver's license?
It's there.
Excuse me, Mort.
Who gave this gentleman credit?
Mr. Vittelli...
do you plan to pay your debt by check?
Well, I don't usually carry
that kind of money in my bank.
You know, all the money I make...
I put back into the business.
And it's paying off handsomely.
Now, look, I intend to pay.
I'm not one of those guys who consider
a gambling debt just a piece of paper.
I'm sure.
And as you'll see there...
there's a... there's a...
triple-A credit rating.
Oh, yeah. There's a gold gas card.
Why don't we have that drink, girls?
I... I'd... I'd be willing to
pay for it. A round for everybody.
No, no, no. Ladies,
excuse me. I'm sorry.
Please be seated. Just
make yourselves comfortable.
$23,000 is a lot of money.
- Eddie let me have a Form 223 and a Form 17.
- All right. Okay.
And a pen. No, no, no.
You've got two Form 17s.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Can I have a pen?
Yes. I'll get one to
you in just a minute.
All right.
- And that's 17.
- And a pen.
Thank you.
Okay. Mr. Vittelli, right here, please.
Okay. And here.
Okay. Again right here.
Very good. Great.
Thank you very much. I'm
sorry about all this...
but you're welcome back anytime.
- Thank you.
- Ladies, please come again.
- Good day.
- See ya, champ.
Thanks.
Well, does this mean we
all look for a new job?
Are you gonna start a cutback or what?
You know, the only reason I ask,
Cosmo, is because I'm only 5'2"...
and that's a couple
inches under the limit.
I just don't know too
many places who'd hire me.
You know what I mean?
Oh, my orchid. Where's my orchid?
Here.
- Thank you.
- Get a good night's sleep.
- Good day's sleep.
- See you.
Thank you. Good night.
Good morning.
- Thank you.
- Why don't I walk you to your door?
Yes, please. Thank you.
So, what are we gonna do?
It's all paper.
- Certainly has been a depressing evening all the way around, hasn't it?
- Yes.
Be right back.
Aren't you gonna come in?
I feel sexual.
I don't know what the hell I feel.
I think the thing to do is to get
some cash and go back down there.
- Want me to come with you?
- Nah.
All right.
- Let's go to the club.
- Okay.
Thank you, Lamarr.
Thank you.
All dressed up and no place to go?
- I'll have a coffee.
- How you doin' over there?
- Okay.
- You gonna let me audition for you?
You don't wanna do that.
Get me the coffee, will ya?
Nice and hot. You want
me to fix it for you?
You've got a good body.
And I can dance too.
- How old are you?
- I've been there.
- No.
- You going back to the place?
- Yeah.
- You want me to audition for you?
I can get Abe to sit in form.
There's not much oaf turnover
at this hour of the morning.
Let me close this door.
Find the switch here.
Damn thing never works.
- Do you have a dressing room?
- There it is.
- I need a costume.
- Yeah, wait a second.
Follow me.
There's costumes over here.
This batch. Try on anything.
I'm okay now. Thanks.
Do you have any music?
Yeah, we got music.
Rainy fields of frost and magic
Morning dew
In late afternoon
Alone I sit
For a moment
Lost in thought from
when all the moon
And the twilight skies
Bring silent cries
And tonight's moon rise
Fills my eyes
I think I'll step
inside to build a fire
Hang up my coat and clothes
Loving all change
Winter desire
To be one with the lady I love
And the amber light
From the cabin side
That's very good. You
took... what, ballet?
- Yes.
- Hey, what is that jump called?
A tour jete?
- Do that again.
- An understanding that we share
Okay, just walk up and down, will
ya, so I can take a look at ya.
No, you don't have to jump anymore,
sweetheart. Just walk up and down.
And still knowing this
We really care
And when the time is right
Oh, it's almost mine
So completely like
A wanton night
- Hey.
- Rainy fields of frost
- Come on over.
- And magic
Flowin' through a thought
That I just had
Cut it out, will ya?

Simply wild
Over me
When I'm wild
When I'm mild
- Still wild over me

When a lady asks for more
I say Love, you get what for

- Oh, shut up.
- Look what you have here.
- They go wild, simply wild
They go wild, very wild
Over me
Come on, baby. I'm

We're going to smoke it.
Do you like to eat it instead?
Did you hear what she said?
- Come on, baby.
- Listen, there's a cop.
You see, ladies and gentlemen...
there are now laws against
such things in Paris.
It is not the Paris of old.
Or is it?
Give you anything but love
Love, love Sweet love
Love, love, love Sweet love
I can't give you anything
But love

Just wanted to drop by and say hi...
see how you were feeling.
Those Fu Manchu mustaches.
And they're very uptight, you know.
They're very resentful because they don't
know whether they're Chinese-American...
or American-Chinese, you know.
His name is Ling.
Well, what does he do?
Well, he's a bookie.
A Chinese bookie.
See, what we need you for is
this. We got this little problem...
and you can help us out.

- Listen. Wait a minute.
I think I understand.
I'm not dumb, but I...
- I'm not a fool.
- Did you call him a fool, Mort?
Did I call you a fool?
Nobody called you a fool.
- That's good.
- Be smart, Cosmo.
This guy owes us money.
He's gotta pay.
I want to reduce the debt,
but not get rid of it.
So, you want to reduce the debt but
not get rid of it. Is that right?
That's it. Yeah.
How much?
Boys, look-
Mr. Vittelli...
the first rule of good businessman
is to know what you're talking about.
Now, Mr. Vittelli, what
are you talkin' about?
Wait a minute, fellas.
- We're goin' too fast.
- We're goin' too fast.
Yeah. Fast.
Hey, Rach.
I'm hot.
It's hot down here.
I'm not hungry. Give me some...
Coca-Cola.
Let's do somethin'.
What do you want to do?

Get out of this heat, get in
some air-conditioning?
All right. Enough. We've
seen three pictures.

I got it.
Here we go. Come on. Let's
go, girls. Here we go.
Jesus Christ. It's night.
Here. Here's your hat.
Lamarr, why didn't you
come in and get us?
- Didn't want to disturb you.
- What time is it?

- Of course it's late!
The show, for Christ's sake.
Let's get in here. Come on, girls.
Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
Let's go, for Christ's sake!
Let's go.
Hey. You're gonna make me...
Come on.
Quiet. Quiet.
- Many a heart is
- Hold it.
Breaking
If you could read them all
- What the hell kind of number is that?
- Many the hopes
- That have vanished
- "After the Ball Is Over. " The ball is just beginning.
- Go on and get dressed. I never want to see that song in the show again.
- After the ball
It's a strip joint. Nobody takes
their clothes off, for Christ's sakes.
- After de ball is over
- Take it away, Fifi.
This show is going so bad maybe
I should take all my clothes off.
Cosmo.
Hey, Mort. How are ya?
Didn't find him, did ya?
Nah. I didn't want to find him.
I don't understand.
I don't want to reduce the debt.
- You don't?
- No.
Well, what do you want to do?
Well, I owe you money, I'll pay ya.
- Step outside.
- I'm busy. I'll see you in a few minutes.
Please, do yourself a favor.
I mean, you know I like you.
Do yourself a favor and step outside.
Okay, Mort.
Okay. Okay.
I get the message.
Beautiful-
Beautiful.
Now... baccio la mano.
Now we have a relationship.
Now we can talk.
Sure.
Mi, what a wonderful...
Che bello.
Well?
Give it to him.
You know how to load it?
Check the bullets, Flo.
Don't forget the bullets.
Put that safety on.
Yeah. That's right.
Oh, we borrowed a
car. It's parked behind us.
That's what you'll use.
Yeah.
It's real hot.
There won't be an alert
out for an hour or two.
Take a look at it so you
know what you're driving.
It's automatic.
It's run on a wire, so don't
stall it. There's no key.
Cosmo.
You see this?
You know where the
Laurel Ventura Freeway is?
- Yeah.
- You go over Laurel.
Two blocks on the other side of the
Valley, past Ventura Boulevard.
Stay to your right. Under
the bridge, you get on.
Stay to your right on the
freeway to get to the Hollywood.
You take that straight until you
come to a three-prong freeway.
It's on the map. Take a look at it.
It's where one freeway
becomes three freeways.
The Pasadena, the Santa
Ana and the Harbor.
You take the Pasadena on your left.
Stay on that till you get to Rossmore.
Get off at the Rossmore exit.
Go east till you come to Philbin.
It's on the map.
Park the car, walk seven blocks.
Wulton and Gray. It's all marked.
Here's the book.
The steps are in there, numbered.
Police car came by, but it...
they kept right on goin'.
Here's the key.
Now, we got it from the locksmith
who put the Chinaman's locks in.
We know it works.
For the back stairs only, Cosmo.
And you gotta stop off at
a joint and buy some beef.
Got three dogs.
You could buy 12 hamburgers.
Don't put mustard on 'em either.
And no pickle or they... or ketchup.
And don't put any onions on 'em.
Yeah, yeah.
We've been told-good
information... that...
Benny Wu goes to bed about 9:00.
I think that you should...
Wait a minute. I thought
the guy's name was Harold Ling.
- Well, what we mean is...
- The man goes to bed... The man retires at 9:00.
Yeah. Yeah. That's... That's what I meant.
Anyway, we've checked this thing out.
He's an old man. He sleeps alone.
There's an A-frame house
in front of the big place.
Got a lot of guards living there.
- The guards live in the A... frame?
- Right.
Yeah. There's always somebody wandering.
Sometimes two outside.
They're quick... and quiet.
And there are lights, and there
are trip wires, aren't there?
Only in the front of the driveway.
- In the front of the driveway.
- Take a taxicab back.
Wipe the gun clean and throw
it away. It can't be traced.
Use the light.
Study the map. Check the
book. The steps are marked.
That's your bible.
- Eddie, do you have the papers?
- Yeah.
Give him the markers. Let
him examine the markers.
Mr. Vittelli...
you want to check these?
That's the original copy.
You owed us $23,000.
That was our receipt.
You can tear it up if you want to.
Go ahead.
Hey.
No traffic violations.
Yeah. Yellow Cab...
I'm at the corner of Genesee and Pitts.
Well, it's the,
Economy Self-Serve.
Well, it's the Economy Self-Serve.
My name is Ted Byron.
Well, I'll be right here.
Right. I'm not goin' anywhere.
Sonny. How's it goin'?
Well, who's on stage?
Margo and Sherry?
Why are only two girls
on stage? Where's Teddy?
He just came on.
All right. Well, what's he singin'?
What song is he singin', Sonny?
But how can that be... Sonny.
How can that be the song
with only two girls on stage?
Sonny.
Who's this?
Vince. Vince, I can't understand
Sonny. Who's on stage now?
The... The... The...
The... The short girl.
Margo Donnar, right? And the tall girl.
Right. Sherry. Yeah.
And... what...
what number is it?
Is it the Paris number?
The Paris number! For Christ's sake,
you've been at the place seven years...
you don't know what the Paris number is?
Well, are there signs
on the wall? P-A-R-
The Paris number.
Are there letters on
the wall that say P-A-R-
There's another card that says "moon."
Well, what's he singing?
Is it "I Can't Give You
Anything but Love, Baby"?
I can't give you
Anything but love
Baby
I'm the one who called ya.
- Where you goin', pal?
- Downtown.
- I mean, where downtown? This is a pretty big city.
- I'll tell you when we get there.
Look, mister, I don't like to take anybody in
the cab that doesn't know where he's goin'.
Well, I know where I'm goin'.
I just don't know the address.
- All right. You call it out when we get down there.
- Yeah, okay.
Sure. Fine. Fine.
- You wanted 12 hamburgers to go, right?
- That's right.
- Well-done, right?
- That's right.
- I even had them individually wrapped for you.
- No, no. No, that's wrong.
- You didn't want 'em individually wrapped?
- No. I... I...
I don't want 'em wrapped.
I want 'em all together.
My wife hates waste.
Paper comes from trees.
She hates that. She can't
even throw the garbage out.
- Just do what I tell you, will you?
- But...
- I want 'em all together.
- But you can't put 12 hamburgers in a brown paper bag.
- I mean, you're gonna ruin it.
- That's the way I want it.
Okay. Your hamburgers.
Her husband died last year.
You know, you get angry.
Get lonely.
Sometimes it always
goes like that, don't it?
Yeah.
I know. Believe me, I know.
I lost my own wife three
years ago this fall.
May she rest in peace.
Hey, look, man. I'm really sorry. I...
I thought maybe you were lonely.
I thought maybe you had a problem.
- I didn't really mean anything.
- It's all right.
Sue. Sue, listen.
Listen. It's all right.
I told him. You didn't
mean anything. I told him.
Hamburgers!
- Hey, you got a cigarette?
- Yeah.
All right. Thanks.
Whee!
I'm real bad.
Real bad.
I'm so sorry.
Go check it out.
Halt!
Goddamn it!

- Man, I ain't goin' up there.
Come on.
Damn, Eddie. Get that dog.
Let's go.
Taxi!
Go straight. Then I'll
tell you where to go.
- What is that, a movie house there?
- Yeah. Right.
Yeah, well, I feel like
a movie. Stop here, will ya?
Okay.
- This all right here?
- Yeah.
- There you go.
- Hey, thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
You on duty?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
What happened?
Oh, my God.
Mom, you gotta call me a cab.
- No.
- I have to get to the club.
No, you stay home.
Mom'll take care of you.
A Peruvian. A Peruvian...
shepherd named Bruno said,
"This about love I do know."
Thank you. Mine was...
"A woman is fine, a sheep is divine...
but a llama is numero uno."
- Marty, how are ya?
- Hi, Mort.
Good to... Jesus Christ. Good to see ya.
- Having a party?
- Yeah. A little celebration. Some friends in from New York.
Clare Benoit, Mickey Noeaux and Mike.
- Clare Benoit?
- Yeah.
- This is Ingrid.
- Pull up a chair.
Please. And Alvinia
I'm sure you remember.
Hi.
Listen, Mort, I just heard on the radio that
something happened down there at the Chinaman's.
Sounded like a real bloodbath... people
hollering and screaming all over the place.
- Oh, my God.
- What happened?
I don't know. I didn't hear all the details.
They had a reporter doing an on-the-spot number.
Was it a tong war?
I don't know, but the way he said it,
there was about 25 squad cars there.
There was some asshole that went up
and just started shooting. Kids too.
Who's the Chinaman, Mort?
Downtown... a guy
in import-export.
- Did you know him?
- Yeah.
Yeah, Do you want a drink?
Well, I'm sure you'll excuse me.
- I have to meet someone over there.
- Well, come back, okay?
Nice seeing ya. Sorry about... you know.
- That's okay.
- But come back, okay?
Good night, Alvinia.
What's the matter? Don't you like him?
- Oh, he's sweet.
- He's a nice guy. He's a nice-lookin' guy.
Is he a nice guy?
Notice how upset he was
about that Chinese massacre?
- Will you excuse me, please? I have to freshen up.
- Sure.
How long were you and Mort married?
- Listen...
- I really don't remember.
You don't remember?
You were married to him,
and you don't remember how long?
- Don't worry about it.
- No.
So I gotta put up a chimney
to carry the smoke out.
Why can't the smoke go
in the house? Hi, Mort.
Flo, I gotta talk to you... alone.
Screw. Have yourself a whistle.
You, take off with him. Get her ready.
- I'll be with you in a while.
- Guess what. I got a message from Marty.
- You see Marty?
- I'm always looking at Marty.
- Say hello to Marty.
- Greatest guy in the world.
- You know what he told me?
- There he is.
- That's him.
- The two-finger salute.
- It's all right, Marty.
- You know what he just told me? Stopped by the table.
- Yeah, what'd he tell ya?
- He said the Chinaman is dead.
The Chin...
I thought you'd be happy. Now I'll
give you something to cry about.
You gotta go get Vittelli and kill him.
Good evening.
Bonsoir.
Well, I see that the booze
is plentiful tonight...
which is good...
because it's good for the house, and what is good
for the house is ultimately good for yours truly.
Now I shall... mesmerize
you... all of you.
- Hypnotize you.
- How's it goin', Sonny?
- Busy.
- And make you use your imaginations...
to take you on another trip...
to another day...
to another dream...
another dollar.
Imagination.
Imagination
Is funny
It makes a cloudy day
Sunny
Makes the bees
Think of honey
Just as I
Think of you
Imagination
Is crazy
Your whole perspective
Gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do
What to do
Have you ever felt
A gentle touch
And then a kiss
And then
And then find it's only
Your imagination again
Oh, well
Imagination
Is silly
You go around
Willy-nilly
For example
I go around
Wanting you
Take it off now.
And yet
I can't
Imagine
Fabulous place.
- Thanks.
- For times delizioso.
Good girls.
Just like home. I've
been waiting a long time.
I've been playing games.
Do you know Match One?
- Five, four, three, two, one.
- Yeah.
- Do you play?
- Well, not now.
Got a little problem here.
You know...
I gotta meet some friends at 11:00.
Maybe you should, like, come along.
We're all fairly interested
in your experience.
Well, I'll tell you about it,
you can tell them, because...
I don't feel too hot.
No one could have pulled
that off. I know myself.
- Ten years ago I shoot some Mexican...
- Hey.
- How you doin'?
- I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring.
You're kidding.
- You love me?
- You know I do.
- Say you love me.
- I love you. I gotta get back.
And then
And then find it's
only your imagination
I don't want to keep
my friends waiting any longer.
Again
Over again
Imagination
You're a hell of a nice guy.
I never believed I could
tell that to anyone.
It's too bad I wasn't nice.
Where are your friends?
Anybody home?
That jerk Karl Marx
said opium was the...
religion of the people.
I got news for him. It's money.
Money. That's... Jesus Christ.
My father was right.
Although my father put it
another way. You know, capisce?
He says... Mio padre...
mi ha detto...
"Hai fatto...
una bella cacata."
Yeah. It's a great
enjoyment, a good crap.
You know what's wrong
with the world, Cosmo?
Including me and everybody
else that might be here.
The whole world needs
to fart at the same time.
There's nothing wrong with
you, Cosmo. Money. Money.
My father was a nice guy. You
should have met my father.
He could listen to me like you could.
That's why I like you.
There's not many people that
can listen like my father.
You cry when your father died?
He promised me one thing. He said, "Hey"
"Don't let 'em bury me."
Didn't like the electric company,
the gas company, the water company.
Why don't you do yourself
a favor and get out of here?
You're an amateur.
Take a walk.
Where are you going?
That's my friend in
there. Take care of him.
He's your problem.
Say hello to everybody
and give them my love.
"Za," play ball.
Asshole.
Vittelli.
Cosmo?
"Cosimodo"? It's Mort.
Cosmo.
Hey, Cosmo.
Sorry about that.
In fact, I'm sorry about the
whole thing, Cosmo, but...
it couldn't be helped, you know.
I mean, that's why we're
here to talk about it.
It just happened to be you. I like you.
I personally like ya. I felt it when
I met you. It was instincts, ya know.
I just know the whole
mess is on the news.
I don't know if they know who you are.
I don't know if they know
you're connected with us or not.
But we can get you out of town for a while.
We'll take care of the joint for you.
You come back in, you run
the joint just the way you wanna.
It's your place. Fire the acts, hire 'em.
Stage it. Whatever you wanna do.
You've got some kind of guts, man.
You know who that was?
You know who the Chinaman was?
He was the heaviest cat
on the West Coast, Cosmo.
You did what we couldn't do.
I mean, you knew you
were set up, didn't you?
I mean, it was a plan, and
I was part of it, but...
I like myself, you know. I mean...
I believe you could kill me right now,
and if that's what you want to do...
then go ahead...
but you've got enough heat on
you already, and we can help you.
Hey, Phil.
Dago!
I'm gonna kill you!
Hey, champ!
I think it's about time to make a deal.
Answer me, ya son oaf bitch!
Vittelli?
Vittelli!
The Dow Jones industrial

and tell her there was a accident.
He was hurt.
Could you come over a few minutes...
And now the world at a glance.
California congressman...
Because I don't know
if he's coming home.
I don't know if you know
a doctor or whatever.
I said I don't know if he's coming home.
Mom, would you get off the telephone.
Lashes out at the general assembly.
He... He might try and call. And if he calls and
the line is busy, he won't call back again.
- Mama, get off the darn telephone.
- I don't know if he's coming home or not.
- Who you talking to anyway?
- Your brother.
Mama.

Why isn't your daughter at work?
Are you serious?
I mean, there's a show goin' on.
She's my girlfriend, but
she also works for me.
Are you really serious?
I mean, people are struggling
to keep the show alive.
Oh, by the way, I feel wonderful.
I mean, in case you were
wondering whether I was dying.
We were a little bit curious, yes.
Never felt better in my life.
Could I have a talk
with you a moment, please?
- Oh, sure.
- What's happening?
Will somebody please
tell me what's goin' on.
Don't worry, Rach. I
got a lot of insurance.
- I'm serious. What's go...
- I gotta go talk to your mother.
Could we please have a talk?
Well, now.
I don't know what to think.
I mean...
I'm not feeling well,
to tell you the truth.
I mean, it's not...
My stomach is upset,
and I need some...
some...
I don't know what I need.
I don't know.
But...
I didn't expect that. I
didn't expect a double cross.
You're a funny lady, Betty.
My mother was very funny,
had a great sense of humor.
Yeah, that's right.
She was so funny, she ran
off with this big, fat butcher.
I don't know where she is.
But...
You're terrific.
You're wonderful.
You know any butchers?
- No. I didn't run off with no bu...
- Oh, no, you didn't...
And I don't give a
shit about a... butcher.
That's right. Well, that's what she did.
And my father was...
I don't give a damn about your father.
That's right. Yeah, well,
he was a... he was a moron.
- I don't care.
- Well, I care!
- Well, I don't!
- Well, I do!
I don't know what to do with
my hands. I swear to God.
How long's that coffee been there?
Cosmo, I think what happened...
was wrong.
And you won't go to the doctor...
because you think you're gonna live...
with the bullet in you.
And I don't want you in my house no more.
Because I'm not strong enough for you.
Okay, babe.
Listen.
I wish you luck in whatever you endeavor.
And I gotta go because
there are no rivers here.
- I still love you.
- Yeah.
- But you can't stay here no more.
- Absolutely.
Because I don't know what's wrong, and I don't
know what happened, and I don't want to know.
- I know.
- And I don't want to know...
- Pay the guy.
- Yes, sir.
And there's never anyone around
To hear it
Never anyone around
To hear it
The first star

I'll warm your hands
and make you smile
Come on!
Hey.
- Hi, Cosmo.
- Hi, Margo Donnar.
Hello, Sherry.
- Hi, Cosmo.
- How are ya?
Hello, big guy.
Well, what's goin' on here?
- Waitin' to start the show.
- Nobody wants their check this week?
- Yeah.
- I do.
- You want your check, don't ya?
- Yes.
Let's get our asses
downstairs. We got people.
So, let's go. What's the problem?
Where's Rachel?
Yeah, is Rachel sick?
Yeah, she's not feeling
too good. She has the flu.
- And she has another job.
- Oh, really?
- Bigger and better things.
- Yeah, where is she?
Got a new job.
- Bigger and better things?
- She's got the flu.
And she's depressed.
Just like you guys.
What is this depression?
There's a problem...
- Come on. I know there's a problem.
- There's just a misunderstanding, Cosmo.
- What is it?
- The problem that: It's not a misunderstanding.
It's a problem, and it
has to be discussed now.
Look, I don't want to
pull a big star bit...
but people do come here because I'm...
well, some unique kind
of personality, I suppose.
A bit far out, a bit
freakish maybe, but...
- Far out. Okay.
- Not a freak at all.
- Yeah, but freakish.
- Straitlaced.
But... Freakish. But unique
in my own way.
And when things go badly...
who gets the booing?
- I do. But when things go well...
- My music director...
they... they, they, they get the
applause and all the cheers...
because they flash their tits.
- Hey, no way!
- Bullshit!
Let us be civil, ladies.
Now, Teddy. Teddy.
Everything takes work.
We'll straighten it out. You know.
You gotta work hard to be comfortable.
Yeah, a lot of people
kid themselves, you know.
They... They know when they were born,
they know where they're goin'...
they know whether they're gonna go to
heaven, whether they're gonna go to hell.
They think they know
that. They kid themselves.
Right?
But the only people...
who are, you know, happy...
are the people who are comfortable.
That's right.
Now, you take Carol, right?
Take her. Take Carol.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
No.
A dingbat, right?
A ding-a-ling.
A dingo.
That's what people think she is, 'cause
that's the truth they want to believe.
But you put her in
another situation, right?
Put her in a situation that's tough.
Stress. Where she's up against
something, you'll see she's no fool.
- Right?
- A little silly, but no fool.
Right. 'Cause what's your
truth... is my falsehood.
What's my falsehood is
your truth and vice versa.
- Do you have a Kleenex?
- Right?
But let's let that go.
That's too confusing.
I confused myself.
Now, let me see. Where was I?
Oh, yeah. Well, look. Look at me, right?
I'm only happy when I'm angry...
when I'm sad, when
I can play the fool...
when I can be what people want
me to be rather than be myself.
You understand?
Yeah.
And that takes work.
Gotta work overtime for that.
Yeah. Doesn't matter who you are
or what personality you choose.
- Come on, baby. Silly boy.
- "Come on, baby. " Choose a personality.
- Get dressed.
- Let's go down there and...
- I'll give you a rubdown after the show.
- Right.
- We'll do a great show...
- Watch out.
We'll smile, we'll cry...
big, glistening tears
that pour onto the stage...
and we'll make their lives
a little happier?
So they won't have to face themselves.
They can pretend to be somebody else.
Be happy. Be joyous.
Come on. You. Maestro.
- Yes.
- Give me the downbeat.
The downbeat.
Let's go.
- Come on.
- Come on, Teddy. Get into it.
Come on. Snap those fingers.

All right. Keep it up. No
fooling around. Let's do it clean.

But then Cleo played her hand
And love conquered just as planned
