1. Well, okay,
what would you do, Dee?
Copy !req
2. I'm saying that if I
were a cop, I would have an Uzi.
Copy !req
3. Well, but I'm saying that the
police force would never issue
Copy !req
4. you an Uzi, so now what?
Copy !req
5. That's not
her point, though.
Copy !req
6. That's not what we're talking about, that's not my...
Thank you, Charlie.
Copy !req
7. Listen, if you had the choice,
would you choose to carry one
Copy !req
8. gun that shoots one bullet or
would you choose to carry an
Copy !req
9. Uzi— one gun that shoots a
thousand bullets in one second?
Copy !req
10. Yeah, you're shooting
bullets everywhere.
Copy !req
11. I agree with her 100%.
Copy !req
12. - Right?
- I mean, she's absolutely right.
Copy !req
13. Got people coming at
you from every angle.
Copy !req
14. Frank, honestly, if you're going to join
in the conversation, will you swallow
Copy !req
15. your food and then speak?
Copy !req
16. It's disgusting.
Copy !req
17. Yeah, hey, Frank, what
are you eating over there?
Copy !req
18. A hoagie.
Copy !req
19. You are not eating a hoagie.
Copy !req
20. You are just jamming meats and
cheeses inside of your mouth.
Copy !req
21. I like to make it in my mouth.
Copy !req
22. It tastes better.
Copy !req
23. Frankie?
Copy !req
24. Gino?
Copy !req
25. You piece of shit!
Copy !req
26. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
27. I'll kill you, I'll kill
you, I'll kill you!
Copy !req
28. Now, this is interesting.
Copy !req
29. Yeah.
Copy !req
30. Yeah.
Copy !req
31. Now, do we break this up?
Copy !req
32. No, no, n-no, d-don't
break it up.
Copy !req
33. I want to see how this
whole thing plays out.
Copy !req
34. Oh!
Copy !req
35. Okay, well, that
seemed to settle it.
Copy !req
36. Yep.
Copy !req
37. Okay, all right,
okay, all right.
Copy !req
38. Jesus Christ, Frank, who
the hell is this man?
Copy !req
39. My goddamn brother.
Copy !req
40. Frank, I had no idea
you had a brother.
Copy !req
41. Yeah, what gives, Frank?
Copy !req
42. You told us your
brother was dead.
Copy !req
43. Yeah, you said that he had
his guts sucked out of his
Copy !req
44. asshole through a hot tub drain.
Copy !req
45. You told that to my
own niece and nephew?
Copy !req
46. Uh, well, technically, sir, he's
not our father, which would
Copy !req
47. mean you're not our uncle.
Copy !req
48. Yeah, we thought he was for a
long time, and then as it turns
Copy !req
49. out... You know what?
Copy !req
50. It's a whole thing, so...
Yeah, let's not get into it.
Copy !req
51. How could you do
this to me, Frankie?
Copy !req
52. Do what, Gino?
Copy !req
53. You know what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
54. You're trying to
steal her from me.
Copy !req
55. She's my woman.
Copy !req
56. You stole her from me first.
Copy !req
57. Well, you stole her back.
Copy !req
58. Whoa, whoa, whoa, who the hell
are you guys talking about?
Copy !req
59. The love of my life.
Copy !req
60. Well, this just got
more interesting.
Copy !req
61. I'm gonna pull up a
seat and get into it.
Copy !req
62. This just got very
interesting, Frank.
Copy !req
63. Why don't you walk
us through this?
Copy !req
64. No, I'm not dragging
this shit up again.
Copy !req
65. This is ancient history.
Copy !req
66. No, no, no, I think
they need to hear this.
Copy !req
67. I think they need to hear what a
liar and a cheat their father is.
Copy !req
68. Let me start at the beginning.
Copy !req
69. It was back in the '60s.
Copy !req
70. I'm gonna jump in for a
second 'cause it sounds like
Copy !req
71. you're about to launch
into a whole thing.
Copy !req
72. Is it going to
take a long time?
Copy !req
73. My attention span
is very short.
Copy !req
74. That's a valid concern.
Copy !req
75. It'll take as long as it takes.
Copy !req
76. Ah... okay.
Copy !req
77. Well, we might pop
in and out mentally.
Copy !req
78. Yeah, you know, our generation— it's like...
Yeah, you want to make it
Copy !req
79. funny or something?
Copy !req
80. Give it some flair.
Copy !req
81. Okay, it was in the '60s.
Copy !req
82. If you were looking for me,
you'd find me at a happening
Copy !req
83. little jazz club on the
north side of town.
Copy !req
84. It was an all-black joint.
Copy !req
85. Blacks played the best music.
Copy !req
86. Not that I gave a
shit— I got a tin ear.
Copy !req
87. It all sounded like a
bunch of noise to me.
Copy !req
88. See, I was running numbers
as a bookie for the club.
Copy !req
89. I'd take bets for
the owner Reggie.
Copy !req
90. Yo, Gino.
Copy !req
91. He had a temper.
Copy !req
92. He also had a weakness for betting horses
and a strength for losing those bets.
Copy !req
93. You see, Reggie owed me money, and when
he came up short, I called in a favor.
Copy !req
94. I need you to hire someone.
Copy !req
95. I ain't hiring another one
of your bimbos, Gino.
Copy !req
96. This bimbo is my little brother.
Copy !req
97. He's here every night
for the music.
Copy !req
98. He's more Negro-ish than
anybody else in this club.
Copy !req
99. Frankie.
Copy !req
100. Gino.
Copy !req
101. How would you like to work here?
Copy !req
102. Would I ever?
Copy !req
103. I love the music, sir.
Copy !req
104. He's just a kid.
Copy !req
105. How old are you, boy?
Copy !req
106. Nineteen.
Copy !req
107. Shit, you don't
look a day over 12.
Copy !req
108. I'll do anything.
Copy !req
109. I was looking out for
my younger brother.
Copy !req
110. I was keeping him
out of trouble.
Copy !req
111. I got Frankie a job
and he loved it.
Copy !req
112. That was a shit job.
Copy !req
113. I was mopping up puke, I was
busing tables and washing dishes.
Copy !req
114. It stunk.
Copy !req
115. But at least I had that sweet
music to keep me going.
Copy !req
116. And then one night I heard
the voice of an angel.
Copy !req
117. No, not her.
Copy !req
118. Keep going.
Copy !req
119. That's her.
Copy !req
120. Boy, she was the cat's meow.
Copy !req
121. That was Shadynasty.
Copy !req
122. Got to stop you.
Copy !req
123. Good time to stop.
Copy !req
124. Okay, so... The love of your life
was a black woman named Shadynasty?
Copy !req
125. Yeah.
Copy !req
126. So what's wrong with that?
Copy !req
127. Well, th-th-there's
nothing wrong with it.
Copy !req
128. Lots of things.
Copy !req
129. It's strange, it's strange.
Copy !req
130. It's just unexpected.
Copy !req
131. Yeah, that's strange.
Copy !req
132. Shadynasty.
Copy !req
133. Well, go on, though.
Copy !req
134. All right.
Copy !req
135. All right, so it was late one night, I
was cleaning up, doing my usual routine.
Copy !req
136. Are you out of
your goddamn mind?
Copy !req
137. I saw you with her.
Copy !req
138. Bitch, if I want to be with another
woman, I'll be with another woman.
Copy !req
139. Hey, hey, hey, relax.
Copy !req
140. Relax, relax, be cool,
daddy-o, be cool.
Copy !req
141. Gino, get this bitch
out of my sight.
Copy !req
142. You just be cool, man,
don't blow your top.
Copy !req
143. Breaking my dishes,
bitch, goddamn.
Copy !req
144. Hey, Frankie here is gonna take you
home and I'm gonna talk to Reggie.
Copy !req
145. He old enough to drive?
Copy !req
146. Sure.
Copy !req
147. For a while, we drove in silence until I
finally got the nerve to speak to her.
Copy !req
148. You got a huge set on you.
Copy !req
149. Excuse me?
Copy !req
150. Pipes— you got a great voice.
Copy !req
151. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
152. You like black music?
Copy !req
153. Do I?
Copy !req
154. I'm gonna open a jazz joint of
my own someday— an integrated
Copy !req
155. place where blacks and
whites can get along.
Copy !req
156. No Orientals, though.
Copy !req
157. You got to have a
dream, I guess.
Copy !req
158. And you're going to be
my star attraction.
Copy !req
159. Child, I ain't nothing
but a backup singer.
Copy !req
160. Oh, no, you're the real,
true star, Shadynasty.
Copy !req
161. You just need a
sky to shine in.
Copy !req
162. If I didn't know better, I'd
think you were flirting with me.
Copy !req
163. White man. Get down.
Copy !req
164. Whoa, why were you
shoving her head down?
Copy !req
165. You did not want to be caught out in the
street in those days with a Negress.
Copy !req
166. They'd tear you apart.
Copy !req
167. Negress?
Copy !req
168. What?
Copy !req
169. Whatever the proper word was.
Copy !req
170. Well, it's not that,
it's a different word.
Copy !req
171. It wasn't that.
Copy !req
172. We're talking '60s terms.
Copy !req
173. Okay.
Copy !req
174. Okay.
Copy !req
175. Okay, you used those terms.
Copy !req
176. You shouldn't have.
Copy !req
177. Did you open the club or what?
Copy !req
178. You bet your ass I did.
Copy !req
179. With hard work
and perseverance.
Copy !req
180. Bullshit. We opened the club
with my gambling money.
Copy !req
181. And that's when we became
business partners.
Copy !req
182. The point is, we opened the club, and
we named it after our star attraction.
Copy !req
183. Shady-nasty's?
Copy !req
184. Shadynasty's, asshole.
Copy !req
185. Whatever.
Copy !req
186. He's out of here.
Copy !req
187. Is that how you spell it?
Copy !req
188. So business was booming.
Copy !req
189. Shadynasty was a star.
Copy !req
190. And every night, it seemed
like she was singing to me.
Copy !req
191. 'Cause she was.
Copy !req
192. Frankie's dreams
were coming true.
Copy !req
193. Mmm... But sometimes
dreams come at a price.
Copy !req
194. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
195. Ain't this some shit.
Copy !req
196. Hi, Reggie.
Copy !req
197. How you doing?
Copy !req
198. Not good, Frankie.
Copy !req
199. No?
Copy !req
200. I gave you everything.
Copy !req
201. Then you go and
take my best bitch.
Copy !req
202. I'm not anyone's bitch.
Copy !req
203. I left you, Reggie.
Copy !req
204. I'm with Frank now.
Copy !req
205. Oh, you with her now, huh?
Copy !req
206. Yeah.
Copy !req
207. I guess that don't leave
me with no choice...
Copy !req
208. but to be a mature-ass
adult about this shit.
Copy !req
209. I'm working on my temper.
Copy !req
210. But know..
that I strongly disagree with this!
Copy !req
211. She's your problem now.
Copy !req
212. Good luck, Frankie.
Copy !req
213. Gino, what are you doing?
Copy !req
214. Saving your life.
Copy !req
215. Run, Frankie.
Copy !req
216. No, don't...
The police carted off me and Reggie.
Copy !req
217. I got two years in the
slammer and Reggie got six.
Copy !req
218. Wait. Why did Reggie get
more years than you?
Copy !req
219. You beat the man half to death.
Copy !req
220. He was black.
Copy !req
221. Those were the days.
Copy !req
222. You sound like you yearn
for those days, Frank.
Copy !req
223. No.
Copy !req
224. I'm just saying those
were the days.
Copy !req
225. Huh.
Copy !req
226. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
227. Okay.
Copy !req
228. Anyway, by the time I got out of
prison, the '70s had arrived.
Copy !req
229. Ah, bro, so good
to have you back.
Copy !req
230. My brother.
Copy !req
231. I missed you, Frankie.
Copy !req
232. I really missed you.
Copy !req
233. Oh, I missed...
What the shit is that?
Copy !req
234. A little bump of coke.
Copy !req
235. Since when do you do drugs?
Copy !req
236. Prison. It's the '70s, Frank.
Copy !req
237. Everybody does drugs.
Copy !req
238. Gino, Gino, Gino, Gino, not, not...
not in my club.
Copy !req
239. No, no, no.
Copy !req
240. No, drugs are trouble.
Copy !req
241. I don't want no trouble.
Copy !req
242. Relax.
Copy !req
243. I got a gun for protection.
Copy !req
244. Wait!
Copy !req
245. What are you doing
with that gun?
Copy !req
246. You take a gun out?
Copy !req
247. No drugs, no guns... No trouble.
Copy !req
248. Hey, I could eat.
Copy !req
249. Give me something.
Copy !req
250. Help yourself.
Copy !req
251. Make a sandwich in your mouth.
Copy !req
252. It tastes really good.
Copy !req
253. I know how to do it.
Copy !req
254. I'm the one who
taught you to do it!
Copy !req
255. Oh, God.
Copy !req
256. This is insufferable.
Copy !req
257. Oh, my... Please, just continue.
Copy !req
258. I just wanted to make an
honest woman of Shadynasty.
Copy !req
259. Settle down, start
a life together.
Copy !req
260. I was building up the
nerve to ask her.
Copy !req
261. I want those peas.
Copy !req
262. Let me see that.
Copy !req
263. Okay, all right... While I was busting
my ass running the club, saving money
Copy !req
264. wherever I could, Gino was
just having one big party.
Copy !req
265. No, no, I never
danced with no guys.
Copy !req
266. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
Copy !req
267. No-no, no-no-no-no.
Copy !req
268. I'm going to tell
you how it went.
Copy !req
269. First off, I was banging babes
left and right, left and right.
Copy !req
270. But my past came
back to bite me.
Copy !req
271. Get lost, bimbo.
Copy !req
272. Gino.
Copy !req
273. Reggie, you're out of prison.
Copy !req
274. It ain't Reggie no more.
Copy !req
275. It's Hakim Mohamed.
Copy !req
276. What's with the getup?
Copy !req
277. Prison changed me.
Copy !req
278. I'm a Black Panther now.
Copy !req
279. We strong black men; we don't
take kindly to you slingin' dope
Copy !req
280. in our hood, you dig?
Copy !req
281. Are you threatening me?
Copy !req
282. You bet your ass I am.
Copy !req
283. But maybe this will
change your mind.
Copy !req
284. Ah, shit.
Copy !req
285. It's a goddamn petition!
Copy !req
286. What the hell?
Copy !req
287. I thought he was pulling a gun.
Copy !req
288. All right, I'm going to
take care of this, Frankie.
Copy !req
289. You got to disappear
for a while.
Copy !req
290. Disappear?
Where am I going to disappear to?
Copy !req
291. We're going to get you
to South America.
Copy !req
292. I got connections.
Copy !req
293. South America?
Copy !req
294. What about Shadynasty?
Copy !req
295. I'm gonna look after Shadynasty.
Copy !req
296. Frankie!
Copy !req
297. Shadynasty!
Copy !req
298. Frankie!
Copy !req
299. No! Shadynasty!
Copy !req
300. That's when I started
my new life.
Copy !req
301. Colombia.
Copy !req
302. What a dump.
Copy !req
303. Gino scored me a job all right.
Copy !req
304. I was quality control for his
Colombian cocaine connection.
Copy !req
305. I'd become everything I hated.
Copy !req
306. The only thing that kept me going
was writing letters to Shadynasty.
Copy !req
307. I wrote her every night.
Copy !req
308. But I never heard back.
Copy !req
309. Shadynasty!
Copy !req
310. I occupied my mind immersing
myself in the culture.
Copy !req
311. Taking in the cuisine.
Copy !req
312. But mostly doing cocaine.
Copy !req
313. Ah!
Copy !req
314. That part was a blast actually.
Copy !req
315. Weeks turned into months, and
months turned into years.
Copy !req
316. But I had to wean myself off.
Copy !req
317. I was living life just
going through the motions.
Copy !req
318. I knew I had to get back home.
Copy !req
319. Back to Shadynasty.
Copy !req
320. Yes!
Copy !req
321. You shouldn't be calling.
Copy !req
322. It's too risky.
Copy !req
323. The little birdie wants
to fly back to the cage.
Copy !req
324. It's too close to the stove.
Copy !req
325. There's too much heat.
Copy !req
326. The little birdie
can stand the heat.
Copy !req
327. He wants to migrate home.
Copy !req
328. The little birdie can't come home
on account of the attempted murder!
Copy !req
329. Why'd you say that, Gino?
Copy !req
330. You used my name.
Copy !req
331. I'm going to hang up now.
Copy !req
332. And don't come home, Frankie.
Copy !req
333. Now you used my name!
Copy !req
334. I had to get back.
Copy !req
335. So I snuck into the States.
Copy !req
336. And what I saw when I
got home made me sick.
Copy !req
337. What was once a clean, respectable
jazz club had turned
Copy !req
338. into a drug-filled
disco shithole.
Copy !req
339. And that's when I
saw my brother.
Copy !req
340. With Shadynasty.
Copy !req
341. I'm sorry to bust up your party!
Copy !req
342. What?
Copy !req
343. I said I'm sorry to
bust up your party.
Copy !req
344. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
345. I was homesick.
Copy !req
346. But now I'm just regular sick.
Copy !req
347. Why?
Copy !req
348. You were gone!
Copy !req
349. He was here!
Copy !req
350. What?
Copy !req
351. She said that you were
gone, and I was here.
Copy !req
352. Oh, to get you hooked on drugs?
Copy !req
353. Shadynasty, you have a choice.
Copy !req
354. You can live a life with me, or you can
live a life with him, and with drugs.
Copy !req
355. What's it going to be?
Copy !req
356. Drugs.
Copy !req
357. Huh?
Copy !req
358. I choose drugs.
Copy !req
359. Drugs?
Copy !req
360. Drugs!
Copy !req
361. She said drugs.
Copy !req
362. You know, it's the way
things go in the world.
Copy !req
363. You understand.
Copy !req
364. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
365. Frankie, no...
You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
366. Stop it! Stop it!
Copy !req
367. You bald son of a bitch!
Copy !req
368. I was bald before you were bald.
Copy !req
369. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
370. Break it up.
Copy !req
371. You could have had
any girl you wanted.
Copy !req
372. She was my one and only.
Copy !req
373. You stole her from me.
Copy !req
374. You're stealing her from me.
Copy !req
375. I found the new love letters you've
been writing to her, Frankie.
Copy !req
376. Talking about meeting up
again and running away.
Copy !req
377. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
378. I haven't written
to her in years.
Copy !req
379. Bullshit!
Copy !req
380. They're all signed, "Love,
your one and only."
Copy !req
381. I should have destroyed these, like I
destroyed the letters from Colombia.
Copy !req
382. What?
Copy !req
383. You destroyed the letters
I wrote to Shadynasty?
Copy !req
384. I intercepted and I
read every one of them.
Copy !req
385. They were poetry.
Copy !req
386. Each one was more
beautiful than the last.
Copy !req
387. Too beautiful, though.
Copy !req
388. I couldn't let
Shadynasty read them.
Copy !req
389. Not if she was going
to stay with me.
Copy !req
390. But these letters—
these are smut.
Copy !req
391. "I want to be in you.
Copy !req
392. My dick is a raging
bull for you."
Copy !req
393. And this one, here, "Meet me at the

get her back, you got to move.
Copy !req

Copy !req
404. Now I'd like to see this
whole story play out.

the romantic in me.

woman anywhere.
Copy !req

That's her!

what I was picturing.

beautiful as ever.
Copy !req
423. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
424. Oh, you know, I wrote to you every
single day from South America.
Copy !req
425. I mean, I really feel like
we could still be together.
Copy !req
426. There's still a chance for us.
Copy !req
427. Shadynasty, I'm sorry
for whatever I did.
Copy !req
428. Please, don't go.
Copy !req
429. Don't choose Gino, choose me.
Copy !req
430. No, no, no, you choose me.
Copy !req
431. I have loved you all my life.
Copy !req
432. No, pick me.
Copy !req
433. No.
Copy !req
434. Our love was strong.
Copy !req
435. We were together.
Copy !req
436. Pick me, pick me.
Copy !req
437. Pick me, Shadynasty.
Copy !req
438. I'm sorry, but I pick him.
Copy !req
439. Ain't this some shit.
Copy !req
440. Reggie.
Copy !req
441. Reggie?
Copy !req
442. Whoa, everyone's a lot fatter
than I was expecting them to be.
Copy !req
443. Yeah.
Copy !req
444. Last time I saw you, Frankie,
you had me sent to jail.
Copy !req
445. But I forgive you.
Copy !req
446. That's all in the past.
Copy !req
447. Reggie is your one
and only, huh?
Copy !req
448. He was all along.
Copy !req
449. But because of you two,
he was always in jail.
Copy !req
450. I could never be with him.
Copy !req
451. Excuse me, Mr. Mohamed?
Copy !req
452. Yeah?
Copy !req
453. Your name came up
on a no-fly list.
Copy !req
454. I need you to come with us.
Copy !req
455. Oh, hell no.
Copy !req
456. I'm supposed to be
getting on this flight.
Copy !req
457. Sir, please cooperate.
Copy !req
458. Listen, I'm getting on that
plane with Shadynasty.
Copy !req
459. That's it.
Copy !req
460. Let's take him down.
Copy !req
461. Wait! Oh, hell no!
Copy !req
462. Times have changed!
Copy !req
463. It can't still be like this!
Copy !req
464. Leave him be.
Copy !req
465. Reggie? No!
Copy !req
466. Did you call that in?
Copy !req
467. No, that just happened.
Copy !req
468. Oh... Guess times kind of
haven't changed much, huh?
Copy !req
469. If I'm being honest,
she looked like shit.
Copy !req
470. Mm.
Copy !req
471. Yeah.
Copy !req
472. She did not age well at all.
Copy !req
473. No.
Copy !req
474. Did she ever look good?
Copy !req
475. She was never attractive.
Copy !req
476. I guess black can crack.
Copy !req
477. That's still...
still kind of racist.
Copy !req
478. Yeah, that's racist.
Copy !req
479. Is anybody hungry?
Copy !req
480. Yeah, I'm hungry.
Copy !req
481. I'm starving.
Copy !req
482. Well, let's go eat.
Copy !req
483. Hey, did Frankie ever tell you
about the time that I threw
Copy !req
484. him off the John
Wanamaker Building?
Copy !req
485. You son of a bitch.
Copy !req
486. He told us about that.
Copy !req
487. I can't— I can't listen
to another goddamn story.
Copy !req
488. I don't want to hear that story.
Copy !req
