Be Cool Page #5

Synopsis: Streetwise mobster-turned-movie producer Chili Palmer is back, but this time Chili has abandoned the fickle movie industry and veered into the music business, tangling with Russian mobsters and gangsta rappers and taking a talented, feisty young singer named Linda Moon under his wing. From the recording studio to an Aerosmith concert to the MTV Music Awards, he manipulates events to watch them play out the Chili way, using his signature blend of wiseguy skills and negotiation tactics. It's a dangerous business, and everyone's looking for their next big hit.

What's up, man?

I need to talk to you, Nick.

They give me mahogany.

Goddamn teak.

You could deck the QE 2

with the wood they gave me.

Who even cares if they can sing?

Look, man, Chili Palmer

came up in the club. I gotta...

You're still my b*tch.

Love ya. Out.

Man, we gotta talk

about this Chili Palmer.

Robin, who's on three?

Robert's on three,

Marty's on four.

Don't be...

Marty, you pimp.

Make me smile.

Nick. Nick, for real.

Look, I'm serious, man.

I need to talk to you here.

- No. No, you did not.

- Can I talk to you for a minute, man?

Marty, hold on a sec, will you?

What do you want, Raj?

It says in the paper that Chili Palmer

used to be a gangster.

He was a hired hand.

You know him?

Tell me what you want, Raj.

Linda Moon says she's gonna leave

and have Chili Palmer be her manager.

She told you that?

No, man, he told me that.

What'd you do?

I told him she's got five years

on her contract, you know.

You feel you had to explain it to him?

You didn't kick his ass?

Man, he hit Elliot

right in the damn throat.

He broke him smooth down.

Wow. What a surprise.

Elliot's a f*ggot.

P*ssy.

You think it's cool to have a queer

for a bodyguard?

What good is he?

Chili Palmer's no manager.

He's a talker.

You shoulda hit him in the mouth.

What he does is make movies

about shylocks, 'cause that's all he was.

A shylock.

That's right.

He did that movie Get Lost.

That's my sh*t, man.

That sh*t was tight.

There is no way

we are losing Linda Moon.

"A," she's under contract,

and "B," she's under contract.

So, what's crackin'?

You want Joe Loop.

Man, all I want is

for Chili Palmer to disappear.

You want Joe Loop.

Yeah. Joe Loop.

Loop. Nick Carr said should call.

Yeah, sure.

Well. got something

for you to take care of

or do need to call somebody else?

No, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

I would love to.

Here's your breakfast, sweetie.

Pancakes again?

Panca... Yes, pancakes again.

Baby, would you tell this girl

when we were comin' up,

all we had was sugar sandwiches?

Please. She does not know

how good she has it.

She does not know

how good she has it.

- Bye, baby.

- Bye, Mommy.

Bye, baby.

Deshawn, eat the pancakes, okay?

I put cinnamon on there,

there's butter, they're very good.

The strawberries are fresh.

Eat up.

We got ten minutes, okay?

I don't want you to be late.

Top of the morning, Marge.

Top of the morning, Sin.

Ain't this somethin'?

What's up, dawg?

Must you play into the stereotypes?

Turn that mess down.

This is the suburbs.

I'm on the damn Neighborhood Watch.

- Who did it?

- Not me.

You know, that b*tch

owed me 300 grand.

I shoulda sent the coalition.
