Somebody call Nino.

Do you remember this?

Hello?

Nino?

No, sorry pal.

Why don't you call back later, we're closed.

I could, but i think Nino would be upset

that you made him wait.

- Can I ask what this is about?

I have something of his.

- And that would be?

A million dollars.

- Please hold.

Nino:
You have something that

f***ing belongs to me.

Seems that way.

- And you're calling me...

- Why?

- You're expecting to buy my own sh*t back from you?

I'm not selling it.

I'm gonna give you a time and place,

and you're gonna come and get it.

Do you Understand?

- What are you getting out of it?

Just that.

'Out of it.'

- And your partners are happy with that?

I don't have any partners.

- you discuss this with anybody else?

No, just with you.

- You're not very good at this.

Are you?

Can I talk to you for a minute?

- I can't talk,

I have to go.

Can I just walk with you...for?

I have to tell you something.

Standard was into some...

guys in prison for a lot of money.

And it would ruin you and benicio

if he wouldn't pay it.

He asked me for my help.

It just went wrong,

you know.

I'm sorry.

I still got the money.

You can have it,

if you wanted to.

You can take Benicio...and.

I just thought,

we could get out of here. If you wanted.

I could come with you.

I could look out for you.

Sorry...uh...

Wrong floor.

He came into my apartment, Shannon.

How did they know where I live?

- I told you,

I was gonna call Bernie.

I just want him know that...

that it wasn't about that,

you are not interested in the money.

and that you just did it for the girl.

You told him about Irene!!!

I just wanted him to know that...

as soon as you return the money,

that was the end of it.

I didn't know.

How was I suppose to know

How was I suppose to know that?

Okay?

Look, let me just talk to Bernie..

Okay?

Why did you have to f*** everything up, Shannon?

How was I suppose to know that?

They're gonna come looking for me.

and they're gonna come for you.

Do you understand?

You gotta get out of here.

and you gotta get out now.

Listen to me.

Listen to me, Shannon.

You get out of here and you never f***ing come back.

You never come back.

What are you gonna do?

I already gave you my advice.

You should've taken the money,

and left the guy alone.

- It's just not that simple Bernie.

No! of course not!

Now everything's bounced up in your face!

You know, I owe you this guy.

Just give me a little time and I'll get rid of him.

Shut the f*** up.

You f***ing monkey!

The money, belongs to some half-assed wise guy,

out of Philly. Now...

I got tipped off...

he was stashing a million bucks in a pawn shop;

He's gonna invest it here in L.A
