Leo
You know Bernie's chiseling you because he's a
chiseler. And you know he's a chiseler because
he's chiseling you.
Airily:
Caspar
Sometimes you just know.
Leo
. . . So you wanna kill him.
Bluepoint
For starters.
Leo nods, thinking. He swivels to look interrogatively at
Tom.
Tom gives an almost imperceptable shrug. The ice cubes in
his glass clink.
Leo turns back to Caspar, pauses.
Leo
. . . Sorry, Caspar. Bernie pays me for protec-
tion.
Tom, peering over his drink, does not entirely conceal his
surprise.
Caspar stares at Leo, his mouth open. It is not the
response he expected.
Caspar
. . . Listen, Leo, I ain't askin, for permission.
I'm tellin' you as a courtesy. I need to do this
thing, so it's gonna get done.
Leo
Then I'm telling you as a courtesy that you'll
have trouble. You came here to see if I'd kick
if you killed Bernie. Well there's your answer.
Caspar's voice is harder:
Caspar
Listen Leo, I pay off to you every month like a
greengrocer--a lot more than the Motzah--and I'm
sick a gettin' the high hat--
Leo
You pay off for protection, just like everyone
else. Far as I know--and what I don't know in
this town ain't worth knowing--the cops haven't
closed any of your dives and the O.A. hasn't
touched any of your rackets. You haven't bought
any license to kill bookies and today I ain't
selling any. Now take your flunky and dangle.
Caspar is staring at Leo. He looks at Tom, then rises
slowly to his feet. Back at Leo:
Caspar
Ya know I'm tryin'. . . I'm tryin not to raise my
voice in anga. I've always gone along to get
along. But you make me lay off the Matzoh and
you're givin' me the needle. I told you the
sheeny was robbin' me blind, I told you I wanna
put him in the ground and I'm telling you now I'm
sick a the high hat.
