When they go to the president (Bernie) with a serious financial error on a printout, he pretends to be thrilled and invites them to his beach house for the weekend. He actually plans on having them killed. Bernie is also fooling around with the girlfriend of his mafia partner.

- Hey, Bernie. How about a drink?

- A little bit later.

- Yo, Bernie. The cocktail flag is up.

- A little bit later.

Booze and women.

That is my lifestyle and I love it!

And I!

- George, how are you?

- Nice to see you, Mr. Lomax.

What are you doing here?

I fired you last week.

- I just want my $90, okay?

- Bullshit!

You drank my liquor

and the toilets still don't work.

I don't want to see you.

Get out of here!

You come back again,

I am going to call the cops!

You son of a b*tch.

- I am sorry. I think she needs a little B-12.

- Whatever.

This is Bernie. Leave a message,

I'll get right back to you.

- Goodbye, Mr. Lomax.

- Bye.

Hello?

Hey, Lomax. It's Paulie.

I just got to the island.

You are early.

Those schmucks are not coming

until the 6:
00 ferry...

- and I still have to plant the note.

- Yeah.

So where is your house?

It's on the point, top of the dune.

Look, Paulie,

don't kill them while I am around.

Bernie, we are on a phone here.

Right. You are right. Okay, I am sorry.

The point is, I just want to be

back in New York with an alibi, okay?

Yeah. Don't worry about it.

Oh, God!

Rich. It is leaving. Come on!

I told you we should've taken

a taxi from the station.

- There's another boat in a half hour.

- We'll miss the parties.

We got it. Excuse me.

- Sorry.

- Coming through.

Don't be ridiculous! What are you doing?

We are not jumping on this boat!

- Do you hear me?

- Here we go!

Listen to me, Larry, we are not

jumping on this boat!

- Jesus Christ! My elbow!

- Piece of cake!

Thanks, pal.

This ferry isn't leaving. It's docking.

- Okay. We're early.

- You schmuck.

- What is your name?

- What is your name?

- Larry.

- Hi, Larry. I am Michelle.

Come on! Lighten up there, Rich!

We are on our way!

I am so depressed.

I made a fool out of myself last night.

Of course you did.

- I should've stayed home.

- What are you talking about?

We've been summoned to the mountain top.

This is good for your career.

You know, by the time this weekend is over,

I promise you won't even remember...

what's- her-name's name.

I'll get you a drink. Come on.

Look, I'll see you later.

Goodbye, young man. Nice talking to you.

That is good. This is very good.

- I did not hear you come in.

- I know.

I am real good at that.

- I told you the guys aren't here yet, didn't I?

- You did.

- Good.

- Quite a shack you have here.

It's home.

Can I have a cigarette?

Cigarette.

Sure.

What was...

Quite a ride, huh, Bern?

Glorious day out, or what?

Where's Bernie?

I got it right here. It says it's the last house

on the point, top of the dune.

Pardon me, Monsignor, sir, could you

tell me where the top of the dune is?
