I have to get at these guys...

Let me reiterate.

You said you were going to protect

my butt and be my guardian angel.

Hang on, hang on.

There is an engine block

clearing customs...

...Tuesday, 10:
00 pickup.

Fulton Meat Market.

An engine block?

Clever, clever, guys.

I'd like an '86 Lincoln...

...IIlinois 354-DOG-6"7", please.

Ramone Chi Chi Testamente,

a Salvadoran national with quite a record.

Remember, you were harping on me

about having a date.

Dream on, baby.

I want to tell you, what I turned down

tonight, you could never come close to.

You should become a science-fiction

writer, instead of a cop or a DA...

...with that imagination you got.

You're right.

How you doing, Mr. Abandano?

Chi Chi, how you doing?

- I do not like this place.

- You do not like this place?

No, I don't want to go into this place.

You know I hate places like this.

- What don't you like about it?

- The element!

You know something, darling?

I really think that you should lighten up,

because...

...we're gonna party.

This is my lawyer. Say hello.

- Two for dinner?

- Just drinks.

Good work.

I don't believe it.

Sit down here. You're gonna love

this place. I promise.

Salvano, the f***ing cockroach.

I don't believe this. You always do this

to me in front of people.

That is beautiful.

Excuse me.

I love it.

You'll have your engine block

on Tuesday, Boss.

If this happened a week from Tuesday,

I could read about it in the paper.

Relax. It'll make you famous.

Just what I need, to be famous.

Can you believe this?

Lieutenant Strozah, meet those two cops

in the back alley.

We got it down pretty good.

We got guys in the front,

we got a couple of cars out back.

Sealed off pretty good.

Three of our best guys.

I handpicked each one.

Jackson, Lukich, Nico. They're all topshelf.

They know how to do this.

They've done it before.

I can tell how much you love it here.

God! Now I know why I'm a vegetarian.

You eat meat. I know you eat meat.

- I'm gonna throw up.

- I've heard you eat meat.

Nico, keep the channel clear.

Don't embarrass us.

Right over there.

Two guys in the alley over there.

Definitely the Feds.

Frank, it's f***ing infested down here.

What are you trying to do to us?

Someone from downtown got wind of it.

Don't worry.

They're trying to make points.

Just handle the pinch.

This ain't a bust, it's a f***ing convention.

I don't believe this.

Look at this, boys. Here we go.

Here we go. Jackson, stay back.

I think they made you.

You're too pretty to be a meatpacker.

It's going down, boys. Let's go.

Keep your heads up.

Woman, let's do it.

The cars are going around the corner.

Come on, Nico. Lukich, get up there.
