- Uh...

- Yes.

You see the show?

You were funny.

Yeah? I'm even funnier

two on one.

Well, then, that could be arranged.

Can you say that again?

I'm a little deaf in this ear.

That could be arranged.

[BELL DINGING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Come on, come on!

[SHOUTING IN ITALIAN]

Fight like a man!

Jake! Hey! Whoa!

Take it easy, huh?

What the f***?

It's me, it's Rick. Huh?

Rick...

Where am I?

In your shitbox room.

There was a devil in my dream.

You got a devil in your f***ing head.

Oh, and by the way, you got fired,

so don't bother

to get up off of this couch.

Look, here, take this.

I gotta go.

My old lady's busting my balls.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Ain't got nobody

Hey, champ. Hey.

It's me, Tony. Remember?

We met at a party with, uh, Rick...

- Rosselli.

- Rosselli, yeah. Remember?

- Yeah. How you doing?

- I'm good, you know. Good.

How you doing? Good?

Hey, look, pal, um...

[SIGHS]

...we wanna talk to you

about a deal.

Just let me finish my eggs first.

My name is Jerry.

My best friend.

Me and Tony, we were just sitting there

trying to figure out who we're

gonna get for this thing

we're setting up, and we saw you and...

what a great idea.

Yeah. See, we're opening up

a... a new club, okay?

Very exclusive, very private.

- Mm-hmm.

- See?

So, what do you want from me?

Want you to work the door,

help us run the place.

It's a top-notch outfit, man.

Top-notch.

This'll be the hottest place

in the city.

Hottest room in the city.

You know, a little gambling,

a few broads, you know?

All first-class,

all first-class.

But here's the thing.

We know, Tony and I,

that we can trust you.

TONY:

He's right, hey?

JERRY:

And if there's ever any problem,

we know that we can count

on you. You follow me, Jake?

Hmm? I happen to know

that you was fighting for Frankie Carbo.

Listen, here's the thing, okay?

Put a group like this together,

it took a lot of time.

And we know, we both know,

you ain't doing so good.

And your comedy routine,

all due respect, is, you know,

on the fast track to nowhere.

So, you know, this could help

out both of us, you see?

So, what are you saying,

I'm a lousy comic?

Kind of, yeah, we're saying that.

Ho, ho, hey, hey.

I mean, great boxer, but a...

Come on, come on, easy.

We're all friends here.

We're just trying to put

a little extra cash

in your pocket is all, champ.

Yeah, very little.

I'm kidding.

So you want me to run the front door?

Exactly. Well, you come here

and there, you know. Just...

Let me tell you something, fellas.

I told guys like you before I was champ,

while I was champ,

and I can still tell youse.

Go f*** yourselves and leave me alone.
