Even the cops call him mister.

And he got this son.

He's about my age.

That kid in the store

Is going to get it all

when my uncle kick off.

You know what I mean.

That business makes him Solid.

Like a king a little.

He passes his crown

down to his kids.

Me, I'm going to get me a business.

I got that in my mind for sure.

All I need is the loot.

Well, you save your pennies.

I'm going to do that.

Yes, sir, I'm going to do that.

In the meantime,

I'm learning business

from a master.

You'll never learn it

Unless you pay attention

and stop talking.

Ok, I'm a clam.

Teach me gold.

Pay attention.

You take an object

like this watch.

This is a touchstone.

Rub it on the

touchstone like that.

See that? That

leaves a mark there.

Then you take a little acid,

And you put it on that

mark on the touchstone

Like that.

Now you watch it, you see?

Now, if that turns a bright green,

Then that means it's brass.

Let me write it down.

All right.

Bright green means

it's brass, right?

If it turns a milky white,

that means it's silver.

The name's savarese.

Redecorate the whole

damn place, uncle,

Say, 5,000 bucks.

Who do I make the check out to?

M-E.

Be a good job, uncle.

Paint the whole damn

place pink and yellow.

Pink and yellow.

That's marvelous.

Your change...

5,000 bucks.

Count it.

Don't touch that.

And sit down and talk awhile.
