You don't make up for your sins in church.
You do it in the streets. You do it at home.
The rest is bullshit and you know it.
What the hell is this?
Not in my f***in' place!
Keep out of my place! I know your face!
And you, scumbag!
I told ya about passin'
that sh*t in my place.
I didn't do nothin'!
You're supposed to be the bouncer.
-I didn't do nothin'.
-That's it. Ya didn't do nothin'.
Come on, hurry up with that sh*t, huh?
What's this, more sh*t?
No, that ain't sh*t. That's a German lens.
I've got two shipments of those.
That's good stuff.
Can't use it.
What do ya mean ya can't use it?
That's a telescopic one.
That's the best one they make.
It's not German, it's Jap.
This is an adaptor, it's not a lens.
You bought two shipments
of Jap adaptors, not lenses.
Jap adaptors.
Lord, I'm not worthy to eat your flesh.
Not worthy to drink your blood.
Not worthy to drink your blood.
Okay, I just come out of confession, right?
Right.
And the priest gives me the usual penance:
Ten ''Hail Marys'', ten ''Our Fathers'',
ten whatever.
Next week, I'll come back and he'll give me
another ten ''Hail Marys'' and...
... another ten ''Our Fathers'' and....
I mean, you know how I feel
about that sh*t.
Those things, they don't mean anything
to me. They're just words.
Now, that may be okay for the others,
but it just doesn't work for me.
I mean, if I do somethin' wrong,
I just want to pay for it my way.
So, I do my own penance for my own sins.
What do ya say, huh?
It's all bullshit except the pain, right?
The pain of hell.
The burn from a lighted match
increased a million times.
In finite.
Ya don't f*** around with the in finite.
There's no way you do that.
The pain in hell has two sides:
The kind you can touch with your hand.
The kind you can feel in your heart.
Your soul, the spiritual side.
And ya know...
...the worst of the two...
...is the spiritual.
Hey, Charlie, you're crazy.
Terrific. You know any other tricks?
Yeah, but I'll show 'em to ya
when I learn this one.
You know somethin'?
She is really good-lookin'.
I gotta say that again.
She is really good-lookin'!
But she's black.
You can see that real plain, right?
Look, there's not much
of a difference anyway, is there?
Well, is there?
Oh, great.
Hey, Marlboro.
For these prices, Charlie,
you shouldn't complain.
But it's the best I could do.
Maybe next week I can do better.
If ya can't smoke 'em,
maybe ya can sell 'em.
No, I'll be okay for a week.
Bless you.
Seen Johnny Boy?
No.
He's supposed to be here.
But who knows what goes on
in that kid's head, right?
I'd like to know, Charlie.
I think the kid's trying to duck me.
Don't you think you oughta care more
about Johnny's payments to me?
I think you should. You know that.
Michael...nobody's out to screw you.
I guarantee that.
Well, you're not lookin' at it from my side.
You vouched for the kid.
What happens if he doesn't pay?
-I don't want to do that.
-You're right.
I made a deal with him, not you, right?
You're right. I'm not gonna pay his debts,
believe me.
I'll talk to him. I'll straighten him out.
Straighten him out?
The bum owes money left and right.
Don't worry, Michael--
Hey! Hey, come on!
Get out of here!
-Come on, sit down.
-Take it easy.
-Hey, what's the matter with you?
-Everybody's friends here, right?
Come on, sit down.
Dammit, Charlie, I don't understand you.
I don't understand why you hang around
with a punk kid.
I mean, he's the biggest jerk off around.
Don't say that. Don't quarrel man, will ya?
What's the matter?
Family things, a few things.
I can't explain it, all right?
He really is a good kid.
All right, sure. I'll see you.
Right, later. Be well.
Come on, girls. Give her your coats.
Give her your coats.
If you don't mind, young lady,
But I'm keeping my skin pants.
Hey, here he is!
Are those the shorts
with the hearts on 'em?
Girls, after you.
All right, okay. Thanks a lot, Lord.
Thanks a lot for opening my eyes.
You talk about penance
and you send this through the door.
Well, we play by your rules, don't we?
Well, don't we?
-How are ya?
-All right. How are you?
I want you to meet
two beautiful young ladies here.
This is my good friend, Charlie.
This is my good friend, Tony,
who owns the joint.
This is, what's your name, darling?
-Sarah.
-Sarah, Sarah Kline, right?
Sarah Kline, this is Tony.
This is...what's your name?
Heather, Heather Weintraub, right?
I met them in the Village.
Bohemian.
Yeah, over at the Cafe Bizarre.
-What do ya want to drink, huh?
-Tequila.
-You got tequila?
-No.
Never mind. Listen....
I'll order somethin'
that's good for the both of ya.
Go on, give yourself a drink.
Give me and Charlie a J& B, will ya, please?
-What's this?
-What's what?
-This.
-What?
-That. What does this look like? Huh?
-What?
Where did you get this?
-What?
-Where did you get this?
-This.
-What?
-This?
-Yeah. In the back, come on.
You're makin' me look bad, Charlie.
Oh, excuse me.
I didn't mean to be rude, girls.
Mr. Civello, I'd like your presence
in the back room, if you got a moment.
Well, you mean you request my presence
for a moment or two in the back room?
I most certainly do.
Well, after you.
-Nah, after you.
