The Yards Page #3

Hey, you're my best friend.

I'm gonna look out for you. I'll get you in.

I know. I just hope it works out,

'cause I would like that a lot.

- I wanna work with you.

- Great. Next week.

So what did you think about Belva?

She's good from far,

but far from good, you know?

- Your cousin's very beautiful.

- Yeah, she is.

Come on, handsome, dance. Come on.

Come on. Dance.

Raise your hands.

Empty your pockets.

OK, you're all right. Go ahead.

Thanks, Glenn.

They got a lot of f***ing security here.

- It's all right that I'm coming down here?

- Yeah, you're fine. They all know me here.

- So what is this place?

- This is Borough Hall.

The train businesses live and die here.

Today. We're going after

contracts worth $ 14 million.

And there's going to be a f***ing fight

'cause all our rivals are going to be here.

Right now. Our main competition

is with the Weltec Corporation.

That's run by Mani Sequiera

and Hector Gallardo.

They're a minority company. So they're

guaranteed ten percent of business.

Frank says Sequiera paid off

two councilmen to get that deal.

Paul Lazarides works right under Frank.

He makes our presentations

to the Transit Authority.

At the head of the authority is Al Granada.

My job is to do whatever I can

to keep him happy.

So that he'll keep

sending the work our way.

Do I look OK? I don't wanna

call no attention to myself.

You look great. Come on, let's go in.

We now come up on order 42399,

regarding the replacement of the train

rectifiers on the Queens and Bronx lines.

After careful review, Welghing

both price and performance ratings,

the committee has awarded this contract

to the Electric Rail Corporation of Maspeth.

Make a note of that.

Next. Order 46964.

- It's for 230 couplers, all for the subway...

- Mr. Supervisor, please.

- Hector, let me finish.

- But that contract is part of our guarantee.

- You're wrong.

- We get the rectifiers. That's the deal.

- Hector, let me finish, please.

- I knew it.

The deal for minority quotas is 10%

of the business - which 10% is up to us.

If it was up to me, Weltec wouldn't get

anything, 'cause of your failure rates.

- That's 'cause of them.

- Let me finish.

They're trying to put us out of business.

You're a part of it.

I want to make a protest

with the inspector general.

There have been several investigations

into the allegations made by Weltec.

And we have been repeatedly cleared

of any wrongdoing. They know this.

But they continue to persist

with these outrageous accusations.

- And I think they owe us an apology.

- I owe you an apology?

Yes.

- Let's get on.

- You give me the finger?

I'm gonna knock you

right into the middle of next week.
