What?

I said you're on the wrong street.

- What's he talking about?

- By me.

You're too early.

You're supposed

to go down the next street first,

and then come up this street.

Well, listen.

While we're here, can I sell you anything?

No, I'm waiting for Judy Ann.

They have a better flavor of pistachio.

Look, kid, go f*** a duck.

Here comes, uh,

Lightfoot.

He's late, as usual.

Hey, the woman

came to the window again today.

Stark-naked this time.

Stark-naked?

No kidding?

What did she do?

Just stood there and stared at me.

How close was you?

As close as I am to you right now.

Did you see everything?

What do you mean, everything?

You know what I mean, everything.

Clear as day.

What did you do about it, big mouth?

I'll kill you for that!

Sit down, Red. Sit down!

Young kids,

they don't believe in anything anymore.

You'll get yours when this is over.

One way or another.

You can believe in that.

All maintenance

personnel off the floor.

Bringing in the guard dogs now.

To hell with them damn dogs.

They treat them better than they treat us.

Every night,

they rush us out of here like animals.

Let's not argue now, Sam.

Those dogs ate up a man here once.

- Ate him?

- Yeah.

Wrong man came on duty, dogs ate him up.

They'll go through

a plate-glass window to get at you.

Now, a man just don't fool around

with those kind of animals.

Hey, man. Play it cool.

What did you think about that shot?

You know, the double rail.

Three-ball in the corner pocket?

Pretty honky I'll tell you.

I thought it was a pretty good shot.

There wasn't anything wrong with it.

Wasn't the best shot, but it's all right.

- Who's that guy?

- Oh, he's a new guy.

He won't even come outside anymore.

Matter of fact, when he gets to work,

he keeps that door locked tight.

Why's that?

Well, one time we got him out

here on the sidewalk, you know.

And I kind of got up close to him

and unzipped my pants

and took out my pecker.

And I put that dude right in his hand.

He turned white. He didn't know

whether to hold it or drop it

or run off down the street with it.

It was the funniest thing

I ever saw in my life.

We just all rolled

up out of here on the sidewalk

splitting our guts. It was really funny.

Hey, Mario.

Hey, boss, it's raining.

Work between the drops.

Hey, Mario, what do we do about the rain?

Take your lunch hour now.

Lunch? It's 9:
00 in the morning.

Sh*t! Son of a b*tch.

My own brother-in-law.

Got every skirt

in the neighborhood chasing after him.

You'd think

he'd share one with me just once.

Just once, it never happened.

Stick out your tongue.

I'll teach you how to lick your eyebrows.

You'll have every woman on the block

Michael Cimino

Michael Cimino ( chi-MEE-noh; February 3, 1939 – July 2, 2016) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and author. Born in New York City, he graduated from Yale University in 1963 and began his career filming commercials. He moved to Los Angeles to take up screenwriting in 1971. After co-writing the script of Magnum Force and Silent Running he wrote the preliminary script Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Clint Eastwood read the script and sent it to his personal production company, which allowed Cimino to direct the film. After its success, Cimino co-wrote, directed, and produced the 1978 Academy Award-winning film The Deer Hunter. His next film, Heaven's Gate (1980), proved to be a financial failure. Cimino directed four movies after Heaven's Gate, but none were as successful as The Deer Hunter. more…
