You know how many people

are on the fifth floor at Macy's?

That's all you told me, Macy's,

fifth floor.

- I'm sorry. I thought I told you.

- Fifth floor you told, that's all, you know.

I'm sorry.

Pretty, pretty tweety.

C'mon, bite my finger.

Look, all I came to say was I made you

an appointment Sunday afternoon...

...and I got you a doctor, okay?

I'll write down the address and,

if you want, it's $400.

Got a piece of paper?

Four hundred dollars.

How much can you raise?

Maybe two at the most.

Yeah...

You raise half and I'll try to raise half.

Okay?

I don't know anything about this guy...

...so I'll meet you there 3 o'clock

Sunday afternoon.

Got a piece of paper?

I'm sorry.

Look, if you're not absolutely

sure about this...

...then, I mean, just...

There's only four here.

You'll need another fifty.

- What do you mean, they told me four.

- Right, plus fifty for me.

Yeah? Well I don't have it.

Bring it with you.

Four o'clock.

- But...

- Here's the address.

Third floor, front.

- Yeah, but what happens if I...

- Five minutes late, don't bother coming.

But what happens if I can't go...

Wait a minute!

He says another fifty.

What?

I got thirteen. How much you got?

I think I have about...

...eleven. And some change.

We got about 45 minutes.

You got any ideas?

C'mon.

Where?

To get the money.

All right, lady, drop the gun.

How're you doing, sexy?

Gimme your face to see.

What's the matter?

Postcard once in a year?

Can't you say hello?

Hm? Give me a kiss.

Come on!

Where do you live now?

Milan or someplace, Africa?

Two minutes, you get on a subway,

you pick up the telephone...

Mamma, mamma, I want you to meet

a friend of mine. Angie...

Rossini.

Hi.

Mamma, she's a friend.

Friend? Who says no?

She's an enemy?

Where's poppa?

Where? He's losing the money.

Believe me, they live across the street

by the U.N.

They take everything so serious.

Like my husband.

With the bunch and game? Goodbye, Charlene.

What do you give me, a dollar?

I tell you what he's gonna say.

"What the damn hell, he's home," watch.

Enrico, take my place.

What the damn hell.

- He's home.

- What did I tell you?

He's got a girlfriend.

So what else is new?

Where she work, in a saloon?

- Hey!

- Poppa...

I'm sorry.

I want you to meet a friend of mine,

Angie Rossini.

Excuse my big mouth.

I didn't know he meant a friend in person.

And what I said about the saloon

is because...

...he bring home a girl...

Believe me...

I'd be ashamed to be seen

with the same girl at a party.

Ma questo mascalzone...

...he bring her in the house.

That was ten years ago and he still

put me on a bike.

How're you doing, pop?
