Not that one!

That one.

You sure?

Wrap it up pretty.

Good morning. Peggy home?

She's taking a bath.

That's great. Would you be

so kind to tell her I'm here?

Hey, Ma. Another bucket of water.

Wait!

- What do you want?

- Me?

- Mama said you were looking for me.

- Oh, yeah! No! The guys told me that...

- What?

- I'll come back some other time.

Noodles!

Noodles! Noodles!

Noodles!

Did you get it?

- His a**hole blinked, but we got him.

- Nice going, Fartface. And on duty too.

You boys caught me

with my pants down that time.

No, we caught you with

your schmuck in a minor.

- Put this someplace safe.

- That's all right. Hey, hold it!

Where you going?

Hold it! Wait a minute!

Hey, you, stop! Hold it.

- What are you gonna do with that plate?

- Depends. What time is it, Max?

I think it's time

we got our watch back.

- Okay, boys, we're even.

- The hell we are.

You'll be collecting your

pension before we're even.

Hiya, fellas!

What do you boys want?

First off...

- ... you're paying Peggy for us.

- Okay! That's it?

Go ahead while I tell him.

I can't believe it. My first time

and a lousy cop's paying for it.

Now, look, what else do you kids

want for that plate, huh?

Noodles was telling me about a guy called Bugsy.

Seems he's boss in this neighbourhood, thanks to you.

- Meaning what?

- Meaning he pays you off.

Will you slow down?

What is your hurry? Take it easy.

If you keep this up,

you're gonna come too fast.

Do you see what I mean?

You're so stupid. I can't believe it.

So why does Bugsy pay you?

What do you do for him?

- I close an eye once in a while.

- Well, now you close an eye for us.

Why?

What are you kids up to?

He'll tell you!

Me, him, Cockeye and Patsy,

we're working together.

Bugsy will flatten you.

And besides, I don't put up with no

trouble on my beat.

You'll put up, and you'll shut up.

You hear nothing, and you see nothing.

Just like you did for Bugsy.

Sh*t!

Don't get upset. That makes it worse.

It can happen the first time.

- It's them two talking out there.

- Can't you see you're ruining the mood?

We made our deal.

- So take a walk.

- Come here, honey.

- Feel good, bubeleh?

- He'll never get it up.

Relax. Okay.

Calm down, calm down.

Okay. Okay, come here.

I'm glad the baby's better.

- Happy Pesach, Deborah.

- Happy Pesach, Becky.

Hurry.

We're gonna be late.

- There's Deborah.

- Sorry. Mama needed help.

Good girl. I just locked up,

and I'm giving you the keys.

I thought I'd just practice
