And you wanto to turn me into a ho?

MURRAY:

Would I... Would I steer you wrong?

So what's the split?

Okay. Now, now we can discuss things.

I didn't say I was interested.

I want to know, what would it be?

Well, you know,

an agent gets 10% usually.

A manager will take 15%.

The guys in the art galleries get 50%.

- They split 50-50.

- Mm-hmm.

I'd say 60/40 would be nice.

You know, favoring you.

Favoring you.

All right, let me think about it.

As soon as we get

the lice out of his head,

I'll take you on the carousel.

Can I go on The Twister?

Yeah, we'll do it all.

You know,

I just want to get him de-loused.

- I got a question, Uncle Mo.

- What?

Why do all these people have...

- What?

- Curlies and beards?

Yeah, and sideburns.

For warmth.

It's for warmth.

[BRAKES SCREECHING]

[CARS CRASHING]

- Unbelievable.

- I was merging!

I was merging right straight

across the street.

What are you, blind, cowboy?

There's a stop sign right there!

What's the matter with you people?

...in the car with

a herniated disc.

If anything happens to her,

let me tell you something,

There's going to be

a big problem here.

- I don't want any trouble.

- You got to be kidding me!

[MEN SHOUTING]

What happened?

- Watch your tzitzit!

- Thanks, Dovi!

Are you all right, honey?

If anything happens

to my wife, you're...

I'm very sorry...

Take it easy? This guy just

rammed right into me and my wife.

- Look at the dent.

- I see the dent. It's a bad dent.

I'm not excited!

Get off my back!

Where's the police?

- [YELLING]

- Jesus Christ!

Speak English!

You're in Brooklyn!

We speak English!

[SPEAKS YIDDISH]

You're not in the old country no more!

This is Brooklyn!

[SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER]

Miss, could you back?

CHILD:

Mommy, what's wrong?

Who were those guys?

Shabbes goys.

MURRAY:

Hey. Is it my imagination,

or do I know you from someplace?

Have I met you before?

You bought my husband's s'farim.

Exactly. Exactly.

I bought your husband's books.

Of course.

He died two years ago.

Right. A heart attack.

Oh, Jesus.

He was a wonderful rabbi.

A great man.

Hey... hey!

I went to the shiva.

I... he had a wonderful

collection of books.

I knew...

I knew I knew you.

I... what's...

What's the story on his hair?

He's got lice or...

how big is a louse?

The size of a sesame seed.

- You see?

- Oh, Jesus.

You know, I brought gloves.

Because I'm not going

to touch these kids.

- I'm not going to touch it.

- Don't worry.

They don't usually go for men.

I'm going to wear

the gloves anyhow, you know.

The blood. Too acidic.

Hasidic?

[CAR HORNS BLARE]

How do you do?

Hello. Nice to meet you.

These are for you.
