Hoffa Page #4

Hey, Red!

None of us who were there,

none of us,

are undeserving of recognition.

It was the group, as it always is.

The group!

Full of sh*t.

They don't get the wops to back off,

we don't win the strike.

- That's right.

- Hey, this is my nephew.

- Petey Connelly.

- Pleased to meet you.

Hi.

Hey, Petey, Petey,

I'll catch up with you later.

- Jimmy!

- Yeah, I'm terrific.

- I got a lot to learn from you.

- That's true.

- How did you do it?

- You don't want to know.

- Yes, I do. That's why I asked.

- Oh, I see.

- I wanna know.

- Eh, you're drunk.

I tell you, you go show off

tomorrow morning, tell your nephew.

Jim. Jim, I'm born. I'm bred.

- Yeah.

- I wanna know.

I wanna put this together.

I wanna be the guy th...

I'm sure you do, Fitz.

So I'm gonna give you a piece of advice:

Don't ask for something

that it's a burden to you if you get it.

Like information or something, huh?

Like what a guy did.

You want to know what I did?

I told the wops,

"Don't drive the Kreger trucks."

Scab labor. Help the Teamsters.

He said, "Why should I?"

I said, "Teamsters drive the Kreger trucks.

"Half the trucks we drive, we take them

to a warehouse of your choosing,

and you steal the contents. "

What do you think of that, Fitz?

Does it shock or delight you?

- Jimmy!

- Yeah.

There's a negotiating tactic you can use

next time you get all jammed up.

What a f***in' guy. Hey, look.

I'm gonna go out, get drunk, get laid.

I don't blame you for it.

It was a famous victory.

Come... come with me.

Nah, I'm busy. You go get laid.

F***ing guy.

So why'd you tell him?

The thing of it is, a guy's close to you,

you can't slight him.

You can't slight that guy.

A real grievance can be resolved.

Differences can be resolved.

But an imaginary hurt...

A slight...

That motherf***er gonna hate you

till the day he dies.

Should I have told him?

And so we move on.

- Ain't that something?

- Yeah. You did good.

Yeah.

Al... Pretty chilly tonight.

- Oh, yeah. I feel it in my bones.

- Bye.

So how much money

you make organizing?

- What?

- How much money you make organizing?

All right?

- Give you a hand?

- Yeah.

A man who ain't afraid to

get his hands dirty.

I ain't afraid to get 'em dirty or get 'em

bloody. I ain't afraid of a f***in' thing.

I'll tell you why:

'cause I'm a member of a brotherhood.

Jimmy Hoffa, Local 299,

lnternational Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Now go around, get a big stone

or something, chock up this back wheel.

You want some help?

$10 each new member,

That's what you make?

What I make

is none of your f***in' business.

It's what I'll pay you, you come in with me.

I wanna tell you something...
