Why? You uncorked a bottle. From what I can tell, I got here just in time. Any later and you'd have made the front page, running down Main Street naked, smoking Camels out of your butt.

Maurice, even if it was true, what are you worried about? Last time I checked, you weren't black. I'm not sure what the hell you are. But I know you aren't a black man.
I am the future. I am all colors. All races. All creeds. I am the melting pot. I am the tossed salad. I am post racial.

Come on, Pop, all I want to know is one thing. Just one thing after he made such a big deal out of it. I bet it wasn't a big deal. Was it, Caesar?
What's that, Johnnie?
What's that, Johnnie?
The money I bet it was nothing to get it clean, after you made such a fucking big deal ...
That's right, I know. I fucking know.
Know what?
Know what?
Open the case!

All right! Where's the key?

Caesar, I don't know what you're thinking here, but if you don't put down that gun --
The next one blows off your dick.
You're a dead man! A fucking dead man!
You're a dead man! A fucking dead man!
Where is it?
Caesar? What is this?
Ask Johnnie! Ask your rat-fuck son!
Oh, shit ...
Caesar, this is Corky. Corky, Caesar.
Caesar, this is Corky. Corky, Caesar.
I'm sorry, Christ, I thought ... it's fucking dark in here.
Caesar, what happened?
It was unbelievable! Un-fucking- believable!
Where the hell's the laundry detergent?
Ummm ... in the linen closet.
Why? Why would Johnnie do this?
Jesus Christ, Violet! Open your fucking eyes! Johnnie hates me like I hate him!
I hate that little fuck! I hate him! I hate him! I should've done him!
But you know he did it.
But you know he did it.
So what?! So fucking what? Use your head, Violet. The money is gone. Gino is coming here to get it. You think he's going to believe me if I tell him his piss-hole son stole it! Is that what you think? I don't. You know what I think? I think I'm a dead man. I'm one in the brain. That's what I think!

Caesar, what are we going to do?
He didn't see you, did he?
No.
No.
See, right now he doesn't know that I know, that's why he put the paper in the case. He wants me to hand the case to Gino. Then there is no doubt it was me. Gino will put a bullet in me himself. But it ain't going to happen. I won't let it! Johnnie ain't going to fuck me! Not like this! No way!
