She could sip

that much.

Manny's Cleaning Establishment.

Manny, this is Rome.

How about the sixth at Hialeah?

Well, pox on that horse!

I'm workin' for nothin'

again this week.

Tail outta here

and use your own phone.

- Now, how 'bout that pin?

- I didn't steal no pin.

You'd steal a train

if you could find a fence who'd handle it.

All right. I'll admit...

I took 50 from her purse.

In a way, I was doing her a favor.

She'd had enough to drink.

Now, ain't we

the big, fat social worker.

One of these days, Turpin, they're gonna

nail you on a real solid charge.

They catch you hangin'

around a school yard.

I've been waitin' to do this

for a long time!

Temper, temper.

Remember, I'm your guest.

Beside that, I'm on short dough,

and I'm out of shape.

Wouldn't pay for the bridge work.

Now, Ralph, the pin ain't worth that much.

Beside that, it's hot. The most you could get

would be 200 bucks from a fence.

- So?

- So I give you a hundred. No sweat.

- You're still callin' me a crook.

- Nah, nah.

But you run into luck

every once in a while.

You might find it layin' around.

If you do, you drop it in the mail...

you get a hundred,

no questions.

Okay.

So I'll look around.

Who knows? Maybe

she dropped it someplace.

Yeah. Like maybe, uh,

under the rug.

- You know him?

- Never saw him before.

I'm sorry!

This gimpy leg of mine is always...

Why don't you get a skate?

I really am sorry, but I've got to go.

Oh. You never stay anymore.

You just come and go,

go and come, and...

Stop it, Lorna.

It's all right, Diana. I understand.

I understand too.

What the hell. You know.

I mean, thanks for the money.

It's not enough, but, you know...

It's the best I can do.

I'd bring more if I could.

You're very generous.

Drive carefully.

Good night, Adam.

For God's sake, Lorna.

When will you learn to shut up?

That really bugs you, doesn't it?

I mean, that I can...

I can say anything

I want to her.

You're gonna get sick, really sick,

if you keep that up.

I don't care. l...

If I do, there's not really too much

you can do about it, is there?

My face!

My face... Get your

grubby hands off me.!

Sam! Sam, stop it!

You heard me, Sam.

Let him go!

Let him go!

My brother's normally very gentle.

You must have upset him.

He didn't mention it.

He's quite formidable,

as you've discovered.

He's pretty damn big too.

Nature's compensation

to him, I suppose.

Why don't you keep him

on a leash?

Who are you, and what

are you doing here?

I came here to snap a few pictures of the place

for Better Homes and Gardens.

Oop! Oh, my leg!

Adam! My leg!

Get eight more guys.

You could have a minyan.

Oh, Adam,

my leg hurts!
