You and me, we work together.

I figure you could find a couple of

moments to tell me something about yourself.

Tell you about myself?

Nothing too personal.

I'll tell you one thing about

myself, Rosow...

Goodie.

and one thing only

What is it?

I'm hanging up the phone now.

Your loss. Your loss.

This is some prime real estate.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Looks like you need a light,

huh?

There.

Hero Furillo. Hello.

Yeah.

That's nice.

I already got customers.

I know.

So, what do you want?

Where are you taking them? Here.

See? Mine.

No, you keep it. You might want

to call me sometime.

I got my cell phone on there.

Look, I got this new cell phone.

It takes pictures.

What do you want with those two?

An American man, a Mexican boy.

You see what I mean?

Yeah. But I'm not allowed to

talk about destinations.

I can get in big trouble.

I don't know you.

Where are you from?

What do you care?

What's a guy from New York doing

all the way out here, huh?

If you must know, because

New York is crazy now.

I used to have a place on West 4th

Street for four hundred bucks a month!

You can't even get a place in

Red Hook for that much anymore.

It's crazy. The guppies took

over.

You lived on West 4th?

By the cage?

Yeah, why? You been there?

I grew up on Minetta Lane.

Get the f*** out of here!

Get the f*** out of here!

Yeah.

No sh*t? You know, that's where

they shot the movie "Serpico".

My dad knew Serpico.

The real Serpico.

Yeah, he grew up on Perry and

Greenwich.

Get the f*** out of here!

Get the f*** out of here!

Get out of here! No sh*t?

Yeah.

Let me ask you something. Did he really

have one of them big dogs like in the movie?

Oh, yeah, right. I can't

remember. I was just a baby.

Because in the movie, Serpico's

got one of them big dogs, you know?

Like the kind in Peter Pan that goes

flying through the air with Wendy.

No, that's a flying Saint

Bernard.

Saint Bernard. Saint Bernard.

Yeah, but Serpico's dog was one of them

shaggy dogs with the hair in its eyes.

What, are you telling me that's

not a Saint Bernard?

I don't think so.

I think you might be wrong. I'll

google it.

Yeah, I'm gonna' google that

sh*t.

Look, I'd love to talk movies,

and New York, and dogs,

and googleplex configurations

all day long,

but you got to make a decision

here, all right?

I'm not going to get you into

any trouble.

I just want to know where this

man and the little boy are going.

You looking to hurt somebody,

man?

No, no, I'm trying to help

somebody.

Here, take this money and tell

me where they're going.

Santa Reyes, through the hills

and down by the ocean.

But the only way to get there is
