Mine are full.

What? What's up?

Johnny says he wants a word.

South America wants its arms.

We don't have them. What can we do?

Use another supplier.

If we can't get it together, who can?

I don't want to make a scene.

Let the teahouse incident die down.

This way, please.

Johnny, can you trust Alan?

Got to risk it. Jimmy needs replacing.

Life's about taking chances.

How's it going?

Sorry we're late, Johnny.

This is Alan. No need

for introductions, is there?

Funny we've never met.

I've known about you for ages.

- I'm antisocial.

- Too busy for the high life? Sit.

Right. I'll be frank,

I like your style.

- Are you happy with old Hui?

- Yes, I am.

Alan, you should set

your sights higher.

With your talents,

you should be making big bucks.

My arms business is real money.

It's worldwide.

Wherever there's war,

there's Johnny.

Most things go in and out of fashion--

except war, my friend.

When I say real money,

I mean it.

Everyone knows you have

the Midas touch.

Will I have you as well?

If Mr. Hui's alive,

I'm loyal to him.

Good. I like loyalty.

I paid out a fortune to get

that Jimmy working on my side.

And he brought a lot of

potential business with him.

You wasted him with one bullet.

Ability like that is rare.

I forgive you.

Well, I respect honesty.

But I came here today

to get to know you.

I'm not here to discuss business.

You got it.

I still like your style.

Who the f*** did that?

Wait till I get them! Bastards!

Stop! Stop!

Pissant! Listen up punk. You murdered

a cop, a guy in the teahouse.

He was my friend. Your thugs also

killed a lot of innocent customers.

I'm on your case, scum.

If I find anything, I bust you.

A souvenir.

Hi there, pal. A souvenir.

I don't think it's

the best place to kill him.

Leave it.

Don't want it?

Or too small for you?

What a waste!

- I'm waiting for the big one.

- Real smart, guy. It'll cost you.

- How much do you think?

- Hundred grand.

The police wouldn't cough it up.

Thirty.

I go through bloody hell for you.

I even get a gun held to my head.

Spare me the tears.

My first offer or forget it.

My mom warned me

to stay away from cops.

Johnny'll do over

Hui's arms cache tonight.

This is the spot. Be careful

with that jerk, Tequila.

He's not quite sane.

I'll see you after the fireworks

at the jazz bar.

Right.

I fixed up your ma

at the old folks home.

- Thanks.

- See her when you can.

I'll see her when I'm big-time.

No problem.

Money's in the bucket.
