Big Night (1996)

1. What?

2. More salt?

3. No.

4. Not too fine, eh?

5. Sometimes you cut too fine, then all you taste is the garlic.

6. Okay.

7. Let's go. Five minutes, huh?

8. Cristiano, let's go. Hurry up. Chop, chop!

9. - We open in five minutes. - Oh, my God, I can't believe...

10. Remind me tomorrow to call the plumber to come back

11. so I can kill him.

13. Wait! The risotto.

14. Yes. Go.

15. Oh, thank God. Okay, here we go.

16. Oh, I'm just so hungry.

17. - Signore. - Oh, that looks good.

18. You got leaves with yours.

19. Here we go.

20. Okay.

21. - Cristiano. - Sir?

22. - Is this what I ordered? - Yes, that is the risotto.

23. Is a special recipe that my brother and I bring from Italy.

24. It's delicious, I promise.

25. It took so long I thought you went all the way back to Italy to get it.

26. Yes, I know. But it's worth it, I promise.

27. - You'd like fresh pepper or cheese? - No, I don't eat cheese.

28. - Cheese, yeah. Lots of cheese. - Oh, yeah, he likes cheese.

29. Yeah.

30. Excuse me.

31. Didn't you say that this was going to be rice with seafood?

32. Yes. It is Italian arborio rice. The best.

33. And then with shrimp, and scallop, and...

34. I just don't see anything that looks like a shrimp or a scallop.

35. I just... Well, I'm... I mean, it's just not what I expected.

36. But I get a side order of spaghetti with this, right?

37. Why? Well, no...

38. I thought all main courses come with spaghetti.

39. Well, some, yes, but, you see, risotto is rice, so it is a starch.

40. And it doesn't go really with pasta.

41. - But I don't... - Honey, honey.

42. Order a side of spaghetti, that's all.

43. - And I'll eat your meatballs. - Yeah, he'll have the meatballs.

44. Well, the spaghetti comes without meatballs.

45. There are no meatballs with the spaghetti?

46. No. Sometimes spaghetti likes to be alone.

47. All right, then, I guess we'll also have a side order of meatballs.

48. - Side of... - Meat? This is fine. Let's just eat.

49. All right, then no meatballs and we'll just have a side order of spaghetti.

50. Primo, please. Just... Come on.

51. I want to know for who.

52. Just make me the side order of spaghetti, please.

53. Secondo, I want to know for who is it for.

54. For the lady with the risotto.

55. - What? Why? - She like starch. I don't know.

56. - Come on! - Bitch!

57. I make it myself.

58. Who are these people in America?

59. I need to talk to her.

60. Oh, please, Primo. What are you going to do?

61. Tell the customer what she can eat, huh?

62. That is what she want. That is what the customer ask for.

63. Make it. Make the pasta. Make it. Make it. Make the pasta.

64. - Come on. Let's go. - How can she want...

65. They both are starch.

66. Maybe I should make mashed potatoes for on the other side.

67. Primo, look, don't, okay?

68. Because they are the first customer to come in two hours.

69. - The fucking pipes are... - No! She's a criminal.

70. I want to talk to her.

71. You want to talk to her? Okay.

72. You wanna talk to her? Okay, that's great.

73. You wanna talk to her? Okay. Good. Fine.

74. I'm sick of this every fucking night, okay? You wanna talk to her?

75. All right. Good. Okay, here we go. Okay.

76. Go talk to her.

77. No. She is a Philistine.

78. I'm no gonna talk to her.

79. She no understand anyway.

80. It will be just a moment.

82. - Good morning. - Please, sit down.

83. - Thank you. - Cigarette?

84. Oh, yes. Thank you.

85. Okay.

86. Thank you.

87. So, this is completely different here, than when I was before.

88. Well, it's a beautiful renovation.

89. Because, you know, we went through that with our restaurant

90. when we first started.

91. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of money.

92. Pain in the neck, you know.

93. But I think it come out good, you know, because it's simple.

94. It's a very simple place for the family to come.

95. Very nice. Casual.

96. - You like Italian food, right? - Yes, I do, very much.

97. I'm gonna have to change the direction of this conversation right now.

98. Yes, I understand. Okay.

99. Is there someone you can borrow from, back in... Back home?

100. Well, no. Because we did that already to come here, so...

101. I see. Do you have any salable assets?

102. Something to sell. Like a car. For money. To pay us.

103. - Oh, yes, I understand. - I wasn't sure you...

104. No, no. I speak English. No, I don't. My car, no.

105. I have a car, but is no Cadillac, you know. I need my car for the business.

106. - I see. - No, but... I don't know...

107. Your payments over the past two years have hardly been consistent.

108. Yes, I know.

109. I'm afraid we can't give you anymore time.

110. - What do you mean? - We can't give you anymore time.

111. Okay. Mr. Pierce, let me just explain something to you, okay?

112. I'll explain my situation to you, which is unusual, all right.

113. I don't want to bother you, but, listen, my brother is...

114. It's a difficult situation because what we tried to do here is...

115. Look, listen, I hate to see businesses fail.

116. - But I just want you to understand... - I hate to see businesses fail, okay?

117. - Yes, me, too. - But we're a bank.

118. We can't help people who can't help themselves.

119. If we don't receive your payment by the end of the month, we will foreclose.

120. Thank you very much.

121. Sure.

122. - I wish I could pay you with money... - Money, please.

123. - What would I do with money? - Thank you. I have to go now.

124. - Thank you for the painting. - Okay.

125. Well, this is the biggest one. Is a heavy one, hmm?

126. - Good night. - Good night.

127. - Good night, Stash. - Good night, Secondo.

128. See what he give us, huh?

129. Look.

130. It's a landscape. See.

131. - Don't you love it? - Great.

132. Put it with the rest of them.

133. Primo, let me ask you something.

134. What do you think if we take the risotto off the menu?

135. Primo?

136. What do you think about that, huh?

137. Take the risotto off the menu?

138. I'm sorry, what did you say?

139. Forget it.

140. No, no, I no hear what you say.

141. Tell me what you say.

142. Well, it's just that risotto costs us a lot.

143. And it take you a long time to make.

144. I mean, you have to work so hard to make, you know.

145. And then we have to charge more, so I think take it away.

146. Sure. For good.

147. - Really? - Yeah, that's good.

148. Oh, good.

149. Okay.

150. Maybe instead we could put...

151. Yes, tell me, tell me.

152. I was thinking...

153. What do they call it?

154. You know, is a...

155. - Manicotti? - No. Is...

156. Hot dog? Hot dog! Yeah.

157. Hot dogs.

158. I think people would like that.

159. Those.

160. Fine.

161. If you give people time, they learn.

162. Well, I don't have time for them to learn.

163. This is a restaurant, not a fucking school.

164. He's busy again tonight.

165. The man should be in prison for the food he serve.

166. People love it.

167. Good night.

168. Where you go?

169. To see Phyllis.

170. Oh. Say hi for me, huh?

171. - Okay. - You go out?

172. Yes.

173. - Where? - Out.

174. To a movie.

175. You want to come?

176. Why?

177. - No. I go see Alberto. - Okay.

178. - What is the movie? - Do you want to come?

179. - No. I don't want to come. - Come on.

180. Call up the flower lady.

181. What's her name? Ann? Ann, Ann?

182. - Double date. - Who?

183. Why would I call her?

184. I don't know. Alberto said that you and she were...

185. What?

186. - You know... - He said that?

187. Yeah. It's no secret.

188. It take you longer each time when you go to buy the flowers.

189. I don't grab just any flower.

190. I like... I like to pick the right one.

191. Don't take too long.

192. Someone else might pick the one you want.

193. Good night.

194. Why would Seco say you said something,

195. and you say you said nothing?

196. - No. No. No. No. - What? What? What's the matter?

197. - No, I can't. I can't. - What? Why?

198. - No, I can't. Honey, no, I can't. - Why... What...

199. I don't want to. I just get sad.

200. - Sad? - Yes.

201. Honey, sad is the wrong word.

202. Well, no. I don't mean sad.

203. But I mean, you know, it just gets me all jazzed up, you know.

204. And then I want to go in one place, but I can't go there,

205. and, you know, I have to go crazy.

206. Well, we don't have to... I mean, you know, we've done other things.

207. No, I know. I know. I know.

208. So, what's the problem?

209. I know. I just want you to be...

210. I can't. I can't. No.

211. I just want it to be, when for you and me to be okay...

212. Something, all right?

213. I mean, I want for it to be the right time, okay?

214. And I mean... Because this is very important thing, okay.

215. - I know it, but not for... - Okay?

216. - Just like, it's like for me a casual thing. - For me, neither.

217. You know, like, oh, that's okay, like that. It's not like that.

218. I know it's not like that for you either, but...

219. I want it to be, you know, when the time is right, I mean, you know?

220. Because now everything is just too much and I just can't...

221. I just I, I want it to, I want us to be, when I am more set.

222. - Set? - Yes.

223. Oh, so, it's about finances.

224. - Well... - It's about money?

225. No, Phyllis, it's not about money, okay? And don't make it sound like that.

226. Don't make it like... Okay. It's not like that, okay.

227. Because I'm here working, trying to do something. Is very hard

228. and then, you know, my brother is driving me crazy. Okay.

229. I'm just saying that it's about money, yes. It's about money, okay.

230. If you want me to say, yes. I'm sorry you don't understand me, okay.

231. Oh, yeah, I don't understand money. I work in a bank.

232. What did you say?

233. - I understand money. - Good.

234. Honey, I just...

235. All I want is for the time to be right, okay?

236. I know.

237. And I want it to be right for you.

238. And the time... It is not right for you.

239. Okay? Do you understand what I mean?

240. You know.

241. I don't think you know what you want. I really don't.

242. What do you mean?

243. What?

244. What do you want, huh? You know exactly what you want?

245. What do you want, huh? What do you want me to do?

246. You want me to ask you to marry you right now?

247. - Oh, is that a proposal? - No. Well, no.

248. Do you want to marry me?

249. - Do I want to marry you? - Yeah.

250. Yes.

251. Probably, someday, yes, in the future, I want to marry you, Phyllis,

252. but not right now.

253. Thank you very much but, no, not right now.

254. - I'm sorry. - Okay.

265. - Charlie, how are you? - What's your poison?

266. Scotch and soda, please. You're busy tonight, huh?

267. Hey, Friday night, you know.

268. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...

269. Bravo!

270. - Unbelievable, huh? - Some guy, huh?

271. Oh, boy. Cheers. Thank you very much.

272. Hey, you fucking guy. Did you see me over there?

273. I did see you, yeah.

274. You know, I should be in the circus, huh?

275. Yes.

276. - You got everything you need? - Yes. Yes.

277. Everything? Charlie, you're taking care of my friend.

278. - I'm all set. I'm all set. - Okay?

279. - I dropped my cigarette. - I love this guy.

280. I really do. You're like my brother. You are like my brother.

281. And you are the best, you are the best guy, you know?

282. He's the best guy, and so fucking handsome.

283. Look at this suit.

284. - Have I seen this before? - Thank you.

285. Cesare, Cesare, table number six.

286. You give them a bottle of whatever they're having on the house. Okay?

287. And don't open it. I'll be there in one minute.

288. - So, fucking guy, you close early. - Yes.

289. But what happened? You run out of food?

290. I make a joke.

291. Listen, Pascal, I want to ask you... Can I talk to you?

292. - Of course. Free. - Okay.

293. But I am not just me.

294. I am me and my brother, you know, so...

295. So you guys are not even thinking about coming to work for me...

296. With me. I should say "With me."

297. No, no, no, no. Believe me, I think about it.

298. - But... - Yes, I see you thinking.

299. You know, and I am flattered,

300. but my brother has ideas, you know.

301. Ideas is ideas.

302. I had to convince him to come here, to have our own place.

303. Because I know in Italy you work hard and there is nothing.

304. But here, you work hard and...

305. - Hey. - Right. I know.

306. Hey, baby, that is why we all come here, hey.

307. It's the land of fucking opportunity, right?

308. But you can't come here, and expect the figs

309. the first year you plant the goddamn tree.

310. No matter who you are. You know what I'm saying?

311. Believe me. I know.

312. I know, that's exactly what my brother said, it's funny.

313. Yeah, but, Seco...

314. May I say something that I learned, without being too big, you know?

315. A guy goes out to eat in the evening after a long day in the office, whatever.

316. Right.

317. He don't want on his plate something that he has to look and think,

318. "What the fuck is this?" You know?

319. No, right. What he want is a steak.

320. This is a steak.

321. I like steak, you know?

322. I'm happy.

323. You see what I mean? But don't get me wrong.

324. I think that you your brother is a good goddamn chef.

325. - Maybe the best I ever seen. - He is the best.

326. Yes, but, this is what I have to say to you.

327. Give to people what they want.

328. Then, later, you can give them what you want.

329. Pascal, believe me,

330. - I know, I know but... - Fucking guy.

331. You and your brother, you come to work with me.

332. I know, but...

333. Okay.

334. The kind of money you ask me for, I can't lend to you.

335. That's okay. I understand.

336. And I'm sorry...

337. You know, everything is just become...

338. too much.

339. Hey, hey, hey, fucking guy.

340. What is this? Too much, huh?

341. Hey, it is never too much!

342. It's only not enough!

343. Bite your teeth into the ass of life

344. and drag it to you! Hey!

345. That is why I come here to you, you know.

346. No, no, no, no.

347. You don't need money.

348. What I speak about is nothing to do with money.

349. Who's that?

350. - Humphrey Bogart. - Humphrey Bogart.

351. That's right. Listen, I tell you a story...

352. Two years ago, he was in town.

353. I send a champagne, the best, to him at his hotel. "Complimenti di Pascal."

354. That's it. Only my card... like that, "Complimenti di Pascal."

355. - Yeah. - By hand, I write.

356. Two days later, I get that picture, signed to me.

357. See?

358. - Now look at that picture there. - Where?

359. Six months later.

360. Who do you see having a dinner in this restaurant?

366. Oh, yeah, yeah. Louis is a big jazz guy. I love Louis Prima.

367. - Friend of mine. - Yeah?

368. He's in town next week.

369. You cook for him, huh?

370. For his band on their night off.

371. And then, who knows? The word get around.

372. - I set it up for you. - Really? Louis Prima?

373. He's a friend of mine. Louis Prima.

384. With the ships in the storm, with the lights.

385. - What? - A lighthouse.

386. The lighthouse. That's what I am for you.

387. If it rain, you look for me. I show you the way home.

388. - Okay. - Suppose he doesn't wanna go home?

389. If he don't wanna come home,

390. - he's in the fucking rain. - Some people like the rain.

391. Gabriella, go check the menus, please.

392. Pascal, let me ask you something.

393. - If my brother know that you... - Please.

394. That cradle will not be rocked by me. I do nothing.

395. - This is all yours. - Okay.

396. Hey, you kidding? I love secrets.

397. Secrets make the friendship stronger.

398. That son-of-a-bitch fish man. You see how he change his song, huh?

399. "Louis Prima at our place tonight." Boom! The best fish.

400. What's the matter with you? Are you sick?

401. - People should come just for the food. - I know.

402. Primo, I need your help here, okay?

403. Louis Prima is coming.

404. He's not just some guy. He's famous.

405. Famous. Is he good?

606. - I want you. - No, no, no.

607. - Embrace me. - I will embrace you.

608. No, you don't want to know.

635. What is the rhyme? What is...

636. Yeah. When is the good one?

637. Red sky at morning mean it will rain outside.

638. What about rain inside?

639. - Nothing. - No, what do you mean?

640. That you say "rain"...

641. You say "rain outside", and I think for you to use the word "outside" is funny.

642. - Why? - Because it can't rain inside.

643. - I not say "inside". - I know.

644. - I say "outside". - No. I know.

645. - So where is the problem? - Yeah, I don't get it.

646. Well, you don't have to say "outside" because it can't rain inside.

647. - What the fuck? - I know it can't rain inside.

648. - Forget it. Forget. Forget. - What the fuck is he talking about?

649. - I'm confused. - No, I make fun.

650. Oh, you make fun of your brother?

651. - No, it's a joke. I make, like, a joke. - I don't hear the joke.

652. Well, it's not...

653. I make a toast.

654. - Not for me, it's too early. - No, is never too late.

655. So, this is to tonight,

656. the big night when I bring together my old friend, Louis Prima,

657. with my two new friends.

658. You guys are simply the best.

659. - He's your friend? - Who, Louis Prima?

660. - Yeah. You know that. - No. No.

661. - Yeah, I told you. - No. You not tell me.

662. Yes, yes, I did. You don't just remember.

665. There's nobody I don't know. Hey.

666. Hey, Primo, let's have another. Wait.

667. Oh, fuck. I fucked up.

668. Oh, I'm so sorry.

669. Do you know what goes on in that man's restaurant every night?

670. Rape! Rape!

671. That is what goes on in that place every night!

672. The rape of cuisine!

673. - But what happened? - Please, please, please, please.

674. - Please, please, please. - What happened?

675. - What's wrong? - Nothing.

676. It's just this eggplant is not good. You see this? It's too thick.

677. And if I cook it like this, too thick, it's too heavy, it's not good, can't use it.

678. That's how your brother told me...

679. What do you want me to say? My brother was wrong, okay.

680. Was wrong. What do you want me to say?

681. Okay? He was wrong. Can you believe it?

682. People make mistakes, Phyllis, you know.

683. That's what they do. You should know that, okay?

684. When someone gives to you advice, you should think

685. that maybe they're making a mistake. Okay?

686. What you need to do is decide for yourself what it is you want, okay?

687. All right? Do you understand? Exactly what you want.

688. And then, I don't have to throw every goddamn thing away. Okay?

689. Oh, my God.

690. I really think you need to be by yourself for a while.

691. Phyllis. Phyllis.

692. Great.

693. - Okay, you like it? - Yeah.

694. - Okay, these should be what he wanted. - Yeah.

703. - Thank you, but... - No, no, no but.

704. Tonight, 8:00.

705. All right. Thank you.

706. You look beautiful.

707. I tried to call you.

708. I was probably in the shower.

709. I have to talk to my brother for one second, okay?

710. I'm glad you're here.

711. - So, how's everything look, huh? - Good, good, good.

716. No, no, no.

717. Say formaggio.

718. Cristiano, come here, please, please, please.

719. Do me a favor, go outside and watch for Louis Prima, okay?

720. - I don't know what he looks like. - Here, here.

721. Like that. Okay. Go.

722. He says, "It was the first day with milk."

723. Hey, what do you got there?

724. You help yourself, anything you want.

734. - Is Gabriella here? - No, she's not here either.

735. But please come in. Now can I fix you a drink? Something?

736. - Have an appetizer. - No.

737. I just don't think you can say, "If I do this, then that will happen."

738. I mean, you can, but if you do that all the time, then where would you be?

739. I mean, personally, I think, nowhere.

740. This is focaccia, which is nice.

741. We make that earlier today, my brother and I.

742. And this is nice crostini.

804. because it's no good for my stomach, so I not like.

805. My mother put cream in everything.

806. - Have you ever been to Bologna? - No.

807. Oh, I take you someday there.

808. - I mean, you like cream? - Yes.

824. Taste it. No. Here.

825. Oh, my God.

826. - Oh, my God. - Is good, huh? You like?

827. - Oh, my God. - "Oh, my God" is right, see?

828. Now you know.

833. I'm never sure what that means but it's true, anyway.

834. Yes.

835. Here.

836. - Thank you. - Take deep breaths.

837. You know how they get you, these people, men, boys?

838. They make you think they have secrets they will tell.

839. But they have nothing to tell.

840. And then they talk and they talk, talk, talk, and they keep talking.

841. - And what do they say? - Nothing.

842. Right.

843. And then they smoke.

844. And then they talk some more. And then that's that.

845. - Have you ever been to the West? - Out West?

846. Yes.

847. - Really? They say it's beautiful. - Yes. Very beautiful.

897. God damn it!

898. God damn it, I should kill you.

899. This is so fucking good I should kill you.

900. - Paradise! - Paradise!

901. - What's the matter? - My mother was such a terrible cook.

902. Listen,

903. I am gonna try and get someone out here to write a review,

904. - but that could take a while. - Oh, I see.

905. And I can't really do a story about Louis Prima

917. Listen, I don't know what to say.

918. I'm so fucking embarrassed. I'm sorry.

919. But you know what?

920. These people had a great goddamn time.

921. You should be proud like hell. You know, everything will be okay.

922. - Yeah. - Well, hey, we talk tomorrow?

923. - Okay? Okay. - Yeah.

924. You cannot be caught with the ring.

925. You must lie and cheat and swear and kick.
