(0.00 / 0 votes)Nervous, huh, kid?
Matty,
when your father went away...
to look after you.
I considered it an honour.
And not because
he was Benny Chains...
my sister, but because of you.
Ever since you were
a little kid, you been nails--
tough as f***ing nails.
When you go down there,
be decisive...
because that is
the motherf***er...
who is responsible
for your pop being sent away.
Matty, tonight is the night
that you become a man.
This is all wrong.
Totally all wrong.
Teddy, you know.
You got to know.
Guys, this is Bobby Boulevard.
That's the life, Matty.
It's always the guy
you don't want it to be.
Hey, Matty.
How you doin', kiddo?
Hey, Bobby.
Oh, no, Matty. Matty, come on.
Why would l want to rat
on anyone? No.
Come on. Hey, hey, Matty...
who taught you
the hook serve, huh?
Got you 7 points off your dad
first time you ever set foot...
on a handball court
with him, huh? Who?
You did, Bobby.
You remember the time l got you
that bundle of "Hustlers," huh?
You made a f***in' fortune...
selling 'em to those kids
at Aquinas Prep.
Wasn't me, l swear.
I'm no informant.
Shut the f*** up!
I feel better already.
Come on, Matty. Now's the time
for stomach, son. OIK?
You gotta decide,
does this guy live or die?
Come on.
Just give the trigger
a gentle squeeze.
I'm sorry, Uncle Teddy.
It's all right. It's fine.
Look, you're not cut out
for this. We know that now.
Go on outside.
What are you gonna do to him?
Nothin' much.
Move him outta town.
It's your f***in'
lucky day, Bob.
Go on. Here.
Sure. OIK, Jill.
Right. I'll see you
at the stadium. Bye.
So, Mr. Demaret.
-Matty.
-Matty. Fine.
So, personnel tells me you were
up for an assistant's Job...
but you got Joanne over there
to convince me to meet with you.
-So...
-Excuse me.
So, l want to be an agent,
you know, a sports agent.
And why am l gonna
make you that?
Well, honestly, Mr. McCreedle...
I think l been preparing for it
my whole life.
When l was a kid,
l started going to ball games...
and l remember spending
a lot of time alone...
ball season to keep me company.
I had this uncle in the ushers
Local 1 76, so l got to know
all the ushers...
at Yankee Stadium and Shea, too.
Before l knew it,
l was wired at the Garden...
and l never missed
As far back as l can remember,
working with ball players...

He owns it.
So, are you, like,
related to him?
Yes, l am. He's my father.
Well, that's
Well, you've got enthusiasm...
but there's nothing in
your Job experience for me to--
-Listen, l know--
-No, l'm glad that you came in.
I know what you're thinking,
because l've heard it before.
It's always
the same story for me.
I get cold-cocked the minute
my father's name is mentioned.
You gotta Just--

Look past the name
and Just hire yourself a guy...
