Family Business Page #6

I learned long ago

it's not safe to be a thief.

- You wanna get safe?

- Yeah, I wanna get safe.

Go sit in one of your walk-in

refrigerators for the rest of your life.

Who put it in your head that

being safe is what life is all about?

- I'm too young to play it safe.

- And me too.

This is f***ing cuckoo.

- Can I get another one?

- Give him two.

Adam, let me get this straight. You'll

jeopardize your whole life for money?

- For money?

- Yeah.

If it was money I wanted, I'd think

about the wholesale meat business.

Well, that was unfair.

You know I hate the meat business.

I broke my ass to give you

what he never gave me.

- I never asked you for anything.

- You never had to.

You had everything a kid ever wanted.

You didn't even need a scholarship.

I could have paid for your college twice.

- Without blinking.

- Pop.

This whole thing

has nothing to do with money.

You've never understood me,

you still don't.

- You're not doing this.

- I'm doing it.

Whether you come or not.

Whether he comes or not.

You wanna know something?

There's nothing you can do about it.

- Nothing I can do?

- Right.

There's nothing I can do?

Vito.

That won't get you anywhere.

Here.

Leave a 20. I don't want Doheny

telling people I raised a cheapskate.

Come on. Hey! We got a deadline!

Let's go, man.

Vito! Jesus, it's still dark out.

You know, it's the early worm

gets caught.

If it's about bail money, Jessie,

I'm about tapped out.

I got work to do.

I got bigger fish to fry

than a few bucks bail money.

- Oh, yeah?

- But first of all...

...who the hell smacks

a 23-year-old in public?

Punish him if you really

lose your temper, Vito.

But not a slap.

Look, Adam and I are meeting

at the weekend with a third guy...

...for this score.

You've got till then to decide.

No, there's nothing to decide.

If anything happens to Adam...

This is why you should come along.

Blood, Vito, blood.

And it's the kind of work you do to a turn.

He's going anyway, you heard him.

- He'll find two other guys.

- But you could talk him out of it.

- I doubt it.

- Try.

I'm not gonna try something

I don't believe in.

- Why not?

- It's as sweet for me as it is for Adam.

It's your choice.

I have another guy lined up, he's not

as good as you, but he's good enough.

Who?

- You've got till the weekend.

- Wait a minute, who?

Who?

- Who?

- Johnny Hunt.

Johnny Hunt.

Well, you remember. His kid brother

got shot robbing a bank.

- Johnny Hunt!

- He was never as bad as people said.

He was a weasel 30 years ago,

he's still a weasel.

People get a bum rap sometimes.

Johnny Hunt is a hell of a crib man.

- He stinks, Jessie.

- I think you're wrong.
