- Who made the hit bob?

- We did.

We did? How come we did?

I don't know nothing about it.

Well that's the best way in it.

Who hit him?

I don't tell.

It was a specialist job.

How come?

Dominic told me to set it up so

he couldn't have nothing to do with it.

We was all at the wedding.

- Mae?

- Charley?

Did you have any luck?

What kind of a message was that?

Who can remember

a girl in a lavender dress?

I was wearing a pink and black

dress.

So you don't know

who she is...

the woman in the lavender dress?

Oh, go suck your head!

Yeah?

Mr. Partanna please.

It's Irene Walker calling.

What?

- Is this Charley Partanna?

- Yeah, yeah.

I hope you don't mind

my calling so late.

I wanted to apologise for running

out the way I did this afternoon.

This is you?

Irene walker?

I recognise the voice,

but I didn't get your name before.

I just wanted to explain.

I hope you don't think I'm rude.

Rude? Oh, no, no.

You could never be rude.

So listen um.

Well...

Why don't we get together later,

for like a late dinner?

When you mean tonight?

I could pick you up in half an hour.

I live in California.

California?

Yeah, that's where I live.

I had to come home.

How about lunch tomorrow?

Alright.

How about the bar

at the Bell Age hotel?

That would be tremendous.

What time?

- About two?

- Great.

I was scared I was never

gonna see you again.

Dos zumos de pia

con Bacard.

What was that you said?

I ordered us a drink

something I think you'll like.

Say it again.

Zumo de pia

con Bacardi.

What is it some Puerto Rican

or something?

Yes, I guess it could be.

Pineapple juice with rum.

I had it in Cuba.

What were you doing in Cuba?

I was on my honeymoon.

I didn't know you was married.

My husband left me 4 years ago.

I don't know where he's.

I don't wanna know.

He left you!

Crazy huh!

I could find him for you.

Let him stay lost!

Well you might wanna

get married again someday.

Maybe...

but until that happens...

I don't wanna know about him.

What about you?

Are you married?

Once I was almost married.

Mae rose was her name.

We grew up together.

One night we had a big fight...

because I was dancing too much

with another girl.

I suppose I did it on purpose...

because I wanted

to make her jealous.

So she flew off to Mexico

with the guy.

Shacks up in a hotel...

Father sends some goons down there

to clobber the guy.

Brings her back to the States and

don't let her back into his house.

That was 4 years ago.

That's it?

Yeah, she can't even go

to Brooklyn any more.

Only unless it's a special occasion...

weddings, funerals,

stuff like that.

We're still friends.

She's in decorating.

She did my apartment,

Richard Condon

Richard Thomas Condon (March 18, 1915 in New York City – April 9, 1996 in Dallas, Texas) was a prolific and popular American political novelist. Though his works were satire, they were generally transformed into thrillers or semi-thrillers in other mediums, such as cinema. All 26 books were written in distinctive Condon style, which combined fast-pace, outrage, and frequent humor while focusing almost obsessively at monetary greed and political corruption. Condon himself once said: "Every book I've ever written has been about abuse of power. I feel very strongly about that. I'd like people to know how deeply their politicians wrong them." Condon's books were occasionally bestsellers, and many of his books were made into films; he is primarily remembered for his 1959 The Manchurian Candidate and, many years later, a series of four novels about a family of New York gangsters named Prizzi. Condon's writing was known for its complex plotting, fascination with trivia, and loathing for those in power; at least two of his books featured thinly disguised versions of Richard Nixon. His characters tend to be driven by obsession, usually sexual or political, and family loyalty. His plots often have elements of classical tragedy, with protagonists whose pride leads them to destroy what they love. Some of his books, most notably Mile High (1969), are perhaps best described as secret history. And Then We Moved to Rossenarra is a humorous autobiographical recounting of various places in the world where he had lived and his family's 1970s move to Rossenarra, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. more…
