The first 200 lines.
Right there.
What, the liquor store?
No, the flower shop. Valentine's Day, baby.
Aw, sweetie.
Guess what? What?
I love you.
Why the fuck would you say... I told you!
It's Valentine's Day. I told you, that's bad luck.
Why do you always do that? I'm superstitious!
You know I'm fucking superstitious. Sorry.
You look nice. Really?
Yeah. Like, what do you mean?
Like handsome. You look handsome. Really?
Yeah.
Bye.
May I help you?
Uh, how much is a dozen roses?
Twelve for fifteen.
Fifteen dollars a dozen? Fifteen dollars a dozen.
Can I get a dozen for twelve?
No. You can have twelve for fifteen,
and I'll put this pretty card in with it.
Yeah. Give me a card.
What do I write on the card?
Give me all the cash in the cash register.
Don't move! Don't move!
Don't move, lady.
Don't move, all right? I don't want to hurt anyone.
Open the cash register.
Hurry up, come on. Is this all?
It's Valentine's Day. What kind of fucking business are you running here?
Happy Valentine's Day, you fuck!
Oh, shit.
You got me flowers!
Fucking drive!
Ms. De Toma, this is your first offense.
Because your brother is a transit officer,
I'm giving you the minimum sentence,
but if I ever see you in my courtroom again... Can I get a tissue?
I promise you I will not be so lenient.
Your sentence is three months at the Rose M. Singer...
Don't fucking touch me.
With one year probation.
Don't... Quiet, please.
I am quiet! Mr. Uva... quiet!
I am! Mr. Uva...
This is your second time here.
Excuse me, Your Honor, can I approach the bench?
Quiet!
Can I talk to you for a second?
I would like a new lawyer.
Tommy, can we talk for a second?
With no possibility of probation.
Please... Baby! Baby!
Get them out of here! Get them both out of my...
Get the fuck off of her, you fucking asshole!
Fuck you! You fucking happy now?
Hello, my name is Robert,
and I'm calling from the Lux Et Veritas Collection Agency.
[overlapping phone conversations]
Mrs. Demarest? How are you doing?
You feeling better?
Oh, your dog's sick?
Oh, that's too bad.
Yeah, fleas are the worst. Listen...
are you ready to make some payments?
Hey!
Lady, I don't give a rat's ass about your dog, all right?
Either you make your payments, or I'm going to garnish your wages
and you'll be so broke you'll have to eat your fucking dog.
Oh, you found the check? Oh, miracles happen.
Thank you for your business.
Good morning.
Hey, Rosie, good morning. I love your style.
Thank you. And I think you've got a real future here.
Yeah? Can I just make one comment?
Okay, I know. The F-bomb, shouldn't have thrown it.
That, too. Yeah.
But I think... I'd like you to try to think
of these people as your friend.
Okay. All right?
"A positive spin will always win."
Oh, my goodness, look at you.
U m, Mr. Lovell?
Oh, yeah...
Sorry. My boyfriend Tommy, he's been away.
I know that one. Yeah...
He's a real hard worker and he really needs a job.
Because he wants to do the spin.
Positive spin. Positive spin.
Is he willing to advance his pants?
I am!
Then I might just give him a second chance.
Oh, look it! Who are you?
Mr. Lovell, what are you, a poet and a dancer, too?
You know, I know I had some money in here.
I had some money in here, sir. Is it...
Look, I don't expect to get my money back,
but could I get a bus pass please?
Wow! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Yeah, baby!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.
You miss me, baby?
You know I did. How much?
A lot. A lot a lot?
Mm-hmm...
But you were bad though.
With other boys, right?
Yeah, right. You know it's only you.
Come on, you can tell me. No.
Don't ever fucking tell me.
Zero. I don't want to know.
Always. Come on.
Listen...
I'm clean.
And, you know, I want a fresh start.
Yeah, me too. We got to cool it with that shit.
Yeah. Fresh start.
We got a brand new life. Yeah.
We're getting old. No.
Yeah. I mean kind of.
I got a job.
You did? Really? Mm-hmm.
What are you doing?
I'm working at a collection agency.
That's very exciting. Yeah.
Hey, and if you want, I can talk to my boss.
His name is Mr. Lovell,
and he's real sweet, you know?
I don't really think that's for me.
No, baby. No.
Well, why don't you think about it?
Well, I can think about it.
I mean, I thought about it.
And? I don't think it's for me.
Ten years ago, I was in your very shoes.
Fresh off a stint and looking for a new start.
Wait, you did time?
Seven months at Otisville.
It was actually one of my better business ideas.
What I'd do was I would send out these fake invoices
to all the big companies, and if it was under a thousand bucks,
they wouldn't check them out.
I netted 800 grand until Uncle Sam caught me.
That's genius. Thank you.
I feel small-time.
But what I realized after I paid my debt to society...
You can't vote anymore. One.
Is that everyone deserves a second chance.
You know, I always say that.
Yeah. That's why I hire ex-cons, like Rabies over here.
Hey, meet Tommy. New guy.
Hey, what's up, man?
Sex offender, but actually a nice guy.
So you only hire ex-cons?
Well, I hire people who have been abandoned by society.
Yeah. By everyone but me.
Yeah. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Yeah, I'm not ashamed.
Oh, say it again.
Say... I'm not ashamed. Yes, say it again.
I'm not ashamed. Louder.
I'm not ashamed.
Yes!
I'm so proud of you.
Welcome back.
Oh, my God!
My name is Tommy.
I'm calling from the Lux Et Veritas Collection Agency.
I'm sitting here, not so thrilled,
because you owe me $4500. What do you know about that?
Rich people, you know what they do.
They pay lobbyists to write the fucking laws.
Let's... Hey, let's cross.
Why?
What, for them?
Tommy, in this neighborhood you give those guys space.
Arguing that Gotti was responsible...
for other murders as well...
Bunch of greasy old guys coasting on their reputations.
Bullshit. They used to fuck with my father every day.
They would humiliate him
because he borrowed money to start his flower shop.
They were all fucking rats. Even before RICO.
Who's RICO?
If you see it, then you will...?
Live it! You will...?
Buy it! Be it.
Be it! I was going to say it.
If you see it, you will be it!
If you see it, you will be it! Yes! Be it!
Yeah, look at that.
Little miss pretty pants in the front row.
Are you calling me? Yes, hello.
How you feeling? Good.
What you got going on?
I'm ready to believe it.
Believe it!
Achieve it! Achieve it!
Succeed it.
