They don't record.

They're just a deterrent for crime.

Why don't you take communion?

Excuse me?

I've seen you at mass for years.

You haven't taken communion once.

Well, you know, that's my business.

You think so, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

Jesus. I f***ing know so.

So was he gonna let you

wear his letter jacket...

...or did he have to twist your nipples

a few times first?

Why the f*** would you tell that cop

about the watch?

- I don't know.

- You don't know.

It just came out.

Well, next time, why don't you

nip that impulse in the bud?

What the f*** is wrong with you?

It was very unlike me, Marv.

They took us for

five thou and some change.

Five thousand?

Thank God they picked up the envelope,

so we're not on the hook for that.

So we're all right. We're okay.

No, they took us for

five large and some change.

It's their bar, it's their money.

They're going to want it back.

So we're not so f***ing okay.

Bob?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Kind of early for the eight.

- Yeah. I figured I could wait.

Well, come on in.

It's just a bowl and some food.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

You know, I've never owned a dog before...

...so, you know...

I have no idea what I'm doing. At all.

You'll need bowls.

A leash.

Poop bags.

And from now on,

keep your shoes up on a shelf.

Let me see if I can find the bed section.

What do you want?

This is the best book I know.

You should read it.

Everything is in here.

What are you naming him?

Well, I was thinking about maybe Rocco.

I like the name Rocco.

But then I thought Mike.

Mike?

- You don't like Mike?

- No. Mike is not a great name for a dog.

Rocco is better.

Okay.

So did they name you Nadia

after the gymnast?

- Yeah.

- So you're a gymnast?

No.

Here you go. See?

"Rocco". Hey, he likes it.

Yeah, I like Mike.

- You have him?

- Yeah.

Be patient.

Bye, thank you.

"Make sure the bottoms of the two

side panels rest inside the bottom."

Hey, Rocco?

I made you a safe place.

Bob?

Cold one, huh?

Who needs snow blower

when you have Bob?

Maybe you come to my house later.

Sure.

I'm kidding.

This guy.

You on the welfare?

Excuse me?

Bob does all the work. You watch.

No, I was shoveling.

- You're shoveling, all right.

- He was.

Come.

You know this guy?

No.

But I know this guy.

Moment I know him, I know him.

Somebody robbed my bar.

Yes. That's right. I'm sorry, Mr. Umarov.

Call my father Mr. Umarov.

Bob...

...call me Chovka, eh?

That's right, I'm sorry, Mr. Chovka,

somebody did rob your bar.

Who robbed our bar?

We don't know. They wore masks.

That's right. So we couldn't see.

Police report says

one wore a broken watch.

You tell them this?
