my dance routines, that's all. All right?

Deborah, you don't let the goyim in.

- Okay, bye.

- See you later, Debbie. Bye.

Get down off of there, roach!

That record's just like Ex-Lax.

Every time I put it on,

you have to go to the bathroom.

What are you doing?

- Give me a drink.

- We're closed.

Nice people don't drink on Pesach.

They go to the synagogue.

So, what are you doing here?

Somebody's got to keep an eye

on the place.

There are a lot of thieves out there.

One could get into your house.

Especially if you leave the door open.

You can pray here too.

Here or in the synagogue,

to God it's the same difference.

Come over here and sit down.

"My beloved is white and ruddy.

His skin is as the most fine gold.

His cheeks are as a bed of spices. "

Even though he hasn't washed

since last December.

"His eyes are as the eyes

of doves.

His body is as bright ivory.

His legs are as pillars of marble. "

In pants so dirty

they stand by themselves.

"He is altogether lovable. "

But he'll always be a two-bit punk...

...so he'll never be my beloved.

What a shame.

Somebody's there.

There ain't nobody.

- It's Max.

- Ah! So that's who it was!

Noodles!

Go on, run.

Your mother's calling you!

Noodles!

Just gonna go see what he wants.

- You been here long?

- No!

Were you in there?

You're one lousy kisser.

I seen you go in there after that ball-buster!

Here's the stuff from last night. We got

Shitsy Lipschitz wouldn't cough up any more.

We gotta get somebody else.

I came to divy up!

- Tomorrow, with the others.

- I also came to pick you up.

- I can't come right now.

- The houses, the stores, they are all empty.

We got our pick.

You pick that.

Yeah!

Some partner I got.

Have fun!

How's it going, boys?

- Who's that?

- Bugsy!

I hear you guys are in business

for yourselves now,huh?

I hear youse are doing real good.

Ain't you gonna introduce me

to your friend here?

I'll introduce myself.

Excuse the glove.

Son of a b*tch!

That's my cut.

You don't work for me,

you don't work for no one.

I don't like bosses.

You was better off

you stayed in the Bronx.

It would have been

better for you too!

- I'm gonna kill him one of these days.

- Yeah?

Meantime it looks like he's killed us.

Deborah, open up the door.

Deborah, open up the door!

Deborah!

- That stuff, is it ready?

- We're loading it.

- Che cazzo succede down here?

- Al, we got the big boys with us today.

- They wanna work for us.

- Doing what Bugsy did. We want his job.
