with this gentleman.

He's better than ever.

If you'll excuse me...

I'll see you people

in a little while...

if I'm still around.

Look at you.

Look at you.

What's the matter?

You're not glad to see me?

You belonged

where they put you.

Maybe this time you'll

stay out of trouble.

That depends on how

good my lawyers are.

I thought people like you...

didn't believe

in the legal process.

I thought people like me

were the legal process.

You know what?

You know what

I'd like to do to you?

I would like to take

you on the subway.

What can I do for you?

Tell Arty

I need to speak to him.

Wait here.

Sure.

There's some yarm out there

that wants to talk to you.

Ace is still the better.

Arty, you're still...

What's happening here?

You got aces?

Two hundred.

Two hundred?

I got to see your two.

All right. One shot.

Last ticket.

Johnny, give me

something good here.

Take it easy.

Arty. Gentlemen.

- Who goes?

- Arty.

I bet two hundred.

Go ahead.

I got a message

from Frank White.

He wants to sit down.

He wants to talk.

You tell him I don't

talk to n*gger lovers.

Let's go. What's down?

He says he's got things

on his mind...

that he wants to discuss

with you...

and he wants to know where

and he wants to know when.

You tell him in f***ing hell,

that's where.

He's gonna wish his lawyer...

left him f***ing

the Sambos in the joint...

when I get through with him.

I was making money

off them Colombians.

That's right.

If that's what you want me

to tell him, I'll tell him.

It ain't clear enough?

You tell

that son of a b*tch...

he made a big

mistake with me.

And you tell him

something else!

This is what

Arty Clay has to say.

You tell him personally

from me!

Stay outta here!

Come on, sit down.

Let's go.

Come on, you go.

I missed you.

Your watch and your wallet,

blood.

How about that?

Come by the Plaza Hotel.

I got work for you.

Ask for Frank White.

Come on.

It's up to me, right?

You guys are in trouble.

I bet two hundred.

Hurry up, will you?

I'm down a lot of money here.

Let's play cards.

I got your message, Arty.

You stupid son of a b*tch.

You running games here?

I want to play.

Sure, Frank, play.

Bring your friends.

I want to play with Arty.

Come on.

Let's go, will you?

Jump deals.

Blackjack. House out.

You got some balls coming here.

Pick up the card.

Come on.

Pick up the card.

Pick it up.

From here on, nothing goes down

unless I'm involved...

no blackjack,

no dope deals, no nothing.

You think you're gonna
