-Good night.

-Good night, my love.

-Good night.

-Take it easy.

-'Bye.

-Good night, Harry.

Take the jacket out of your mouth,

sweetheart.

Boy, sometimes they're too much for me.

But then I can't afford

a woman coming in anymore.

I think you manage quite well.

Well, I just laugh all day long.

I'm glad you called.

Tell me, have you seen Charlie?

Yes, I saw him last night.

Wanted to see the kids...

...and then he started playing

a little Russian roulette with his revolver.

What happened?

What could I do? I went next door,

we finally got him to stop.

What do you tell your children...

...when they ask why their father

tried to shoot himself?

What did you tell them?

I just said it was a special kind of sickness

that some people have...

...and that there are doctors

who could cure it...as if they could.

Do you know where he's living right now?

I don't know and I don't care anymore.

He's so sick.

He shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun.

Do you know that he was living

in North Beach with some nude dancer?

Oh, well, I'm glad I'm over that one.

I do have to survive.

You will.

You know, Harry, if I ask you

a personal question, would you mind?

Sure, go ahead.

Are you sure?

Because, well, it's a little difficult.

Iook, we've been friends a long time,

go ahead and ask.

Well, I'm just wondering

why you've never made a pass at me.

Why?

Goddamn it.

With all those kids

do you think I'll ever get laid?

Hello?

Yes, just a moment.

It's for you.

What's happening?

Yeah?

Yeah, Early, I saw it on TV.

I'll be right down.

I'll come in the back way.

-That's it, right?

-I have to go.

Goodnight, Harry.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

How's it going?

By the magazine rack.

The owner remembers seeing him

just before the last robbery.

Yeah, he doesn't look much

like a paying customer, does he?

-There's a car parked out in front.

-That's right, a no parking zone.

Get over there by the door

with that shotgun.

Okay.

You think it'll be a hit or a miss?

Well, here's three salty looking dudes.

Freeze, n*gger!

-What you got there?

-Don't you go setting off no alarm.

You! Get over here, fast!

-You got a safe, n*gger?

-No.

You lying sack of sh*t.

All right, take it easy. Take it easy now.

Suck it!

Suck it!

I'll kill you. I said, suck it.

You go find that safe.

Right here is where I kill me a n*gger.

Get on your knees.

Get on your knees.

Better get out there now.

Not yet.

Get on your knees.

Police!

Drop it!

All right, hold it!

I never shot a man.

Why don't you help the lady?

It's all right, ma'am.

You handled yourself real well tonight.

You work close. Man, you work close.

Hey, where are you guys off to?
