- You don't know one thing about me.

You and your self-righteous bullshit

will cost me my job.

If you pull it, you'd better use it.

Watch this, okay?

I only want to do this once.

Look, see how the impression

hardly leaves the ashes?

There wasn't enough pressure.

This is good, but this ain't money.

The box contained samples or plates,

and this is a counterfeiting war.

And you should talk to your partner

before you go to the suits.

We were going to cut you in.

Don't ever say you didn't have

a good time with Charlie Vincent.

You know the American girl,

is she around tonight?

Come here, baby. Join us.

Come on.

What is this?

It's still moving in my mouth.

I haven't taken the silverware,

so just take a hike.

Nicky, what are you doing?

Sit down. Join us.

Superintendent Ohashi would

like to see you in the morning.

Smoke a little peace pipe here.

We're all partners now.

Mas, please join us.

We'll have a good time.

- Come on.

- Thank you.

Conklin, I did my duty.

These are the men I work for.

You talk to your partners

before you go to the suits.

You should think less of yourself

and more of your group.

Try to work like a Japanese.

I grew up with your soldiers.

You were wise then.

Now, music and movies

are all that America is good for.

We make the machines. We build

the future. We won the peace.

Not one of you guys

has ever had an original idea.

Are you guys

going to argue all the time?

What is this, a conspiracy

to f*** up my evening?

Mas, what are you doing?

It's good-time time.

- Kampai time.

- Up and down.

Can I talk to you?

Look, I need your help.

I've got my tits in the wringer.

Just talk to me

for a couple of minutes.

Give that woman down there $50

and go where she takes you.

Show a little mercy,

some people are trying to eat.

- You like that stuff?

- Yes.

"That's Amore".

I was a teenager when it was new.

I was a teenager when it was old.

If you're going to hang around with

NYPD, here's what you have to do.

Lose that tie, it's a fire hazard.

Here's a little gift.

Straight from the Big Apple,

from Charlie Vincent to you.

- Thanks.

- It's my honor.

I like you.

- Top drawer, yes?

- Top drawer.

Hey, meatball, what are you doing?

You can't hit a note.

- You could do better?

- Yes, I could do better.

- Put it up or shut it up.

- To you, from me.

- Thank you.

- Don't quit your day job.

That quick?

What's he talking about?

Ray Charles.

You and me.

Detective, wait.

Masahiro Matsumoto,

ladies and gentlemen.

Masahiro Matsumoto!

If you're looking for Sato,

I can't help you.

He hasn't been here in over a year.

- Who did he do regularly?

- Do you think I pay attention?

Craig Bolotin

Craig Martin Bolotin is an American screenwriter and film director. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley where he studied philosophy and penned film reviews. He’s written and rewritten numerous screenplays (several unaccredited) for such directors as Ridley Scott and Francis Ford Coppola. After moving to Los Angeles, Bolotin wrote and directed the short film Sapphire Man starring Powers Boothe, which was selected to play at the Sundance Film Festival, and won the Special Gold Jury Award at the Houston International Film Festival. His screenwriting break came with his first uncredited rewrite for the critically acclaimed Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna. The film was named one of the 10 best films of the year by The New York Times. Arquette was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a comedy. Shortly thereafter, Bolotin sold his first original screenplay, a comedy No Small Affair starring John Cryer. His next produced credit was Black Rain starring Michael Douglas and directed by Ridley Scott, which grossed over 140 million dollars. Bolotin then wrote the original screenplay Straight Talk, produced by Disney. He directed his first feature film for producer Arnon Milchan and Warner Brothers, That Night, starring Juliette Lewis. This was also the first feature film for actresses Eliza Dushku and Katherine Heigl. He then wrote and directed the original screenplay Light It Up with Forest Whittaker and Rosario Dawson, a story that shines a light on the plight of inner city school children. Bolotin wrote the script for The Longest Ride (2015), based on the novel of the same name for Fox 2000. He recently adapted Hilary Mantel's novel Eight Months on Ghazzah Street, which Michael Apted is attached to direct. more…
