["A Bird In New York"]
[Intro: streets of New York, Little Italy, "Supreme Macaroni Co."]
Tony: [lights a cigarette]
Allora, come stai, Leone?
Leon: Bene.
Tony: [stubbing it out]
Okay, okay. Let's talk business.
[pushes a photo towards Leon]
This fat bastard is trying to move in on Maurizio's business. Now you know,
Maurizio is a reasonable guy, he just wants ... a little conversation. But this guy, he
don't wanna hear about it. Maybe he'll listen to you. He comes to town every
Tuesday. Are you free Tuesday?
Leon: Yeah, I'm free Tuesday.
[drinks up a glass of milk, takes the photo]
["Fatman"]
[Fatman and his bodyguards enter a hotel]
Receptionist: Nice to see you again, Mr. Jones.
[nobody answers, they move on to an apartment on the 20th floor]
Fatman: [to one of his men]
Remember, neatness counts. You got one half hour.
[sees a woman waiting for him]
Aah.. one hour.
[a shadow falls upon the receptionist, Fatman is contacted via walkie-talkie]
Fatman: Yeah, what?
Tonto: [a gun pointing at his face]
This' Tonto downstairs. There's a guy who wants to talk to you.
Fatman: What's he look like?
Tonto: ..Serious.
Leon: Tell him I'm coming up.
Tonto: He's coming up.
[silenced gunshot]
Fatman: Somebody's coming up. Somebody serious.
Bodyguard: [to the walkie-talkie]
Mickey, open your eyes, we got company.
BG Chief: We got company.
[notices the activated elevator, motions to his men]
Come on.
[take position in front of the elevator, shoot as soon as the door opens]
BG Chief: Stop! Stop men!
[look at Tonto's lifeless body]
Fatman: Tonto..
BG Chief: Tell the driver to wait for us out back, and hurry up.
[checks the elevator, hears a silenced gunshot coming from the stairway; is pulled
down by Leon as he bends over the banisters]
Mickey: [checks another stairway after his monitor fails]
Blond Babe: Hey sweety, what's going on?
Fatman: [quickly collecting money from a drawer]
Don't worry baby. It's cool. Take a nap.
[Mickey gets hung by Leon]
Fatman: [sees Mickey on the monitor]
Oh my god. Those ****ers blocked both of the exits.
[runs through the apartment in panic]
Check the terrace!
[three remaining bodyguards get shot on the terrace behind the shade]
Fatman: Hey! Yo!
[Leon peers through a hole in the shade; Fatman wildly fires at him with his
machine gun; runs through the apartment, finds the back door blocked, takes a
phone and calls the police]
Service: 911 emergency.
Fatman: I need help! Somebody's trying to kill me!
Service: Alright, just stay on the line, I'll just be off for a moment... Sir, I'm gonna connect
you with an officer.
Fatman: Okay.
[surprised by Leon, who places a knife at his throat]
Officer: Detective Jefferson, may I help you?
Fatman: I'll call you back.
[hangs up]
Hey, relax man. I've got half of Bolivia sitt'n in those suitcases over there. Ha'n even
been cut yet. Alright, take it, 'ts yours.
Leon: [takes out a piece of paper]
Dial this number.
Fatman: [obeys]
Blond Babe: [frightened, trying to look friendly]
I'll talk to you later sweety, okay?
[leaves the room]
Fatman: Hello?
Maurizio: [on the phone]
This' Maurizio. Remember me? I see you're back in town?
Fatman: Yeah - No, I mean no. Just for the day.
Maurizio: Aha. So it's safe to say today's your last day in town and we'll never see your fat
****ing face again.
Fatman: Yeah.. right.
Maurizio: Let me speak to our mutual friend.
Fatman: He wants to talk to you.
Leon: [takes the phone]
Yes.
Maurizio: Make sure he understands, and let him go.
[hangs up]
[sirens in the background]
Leon: Do you understand?
Fatman: [nods]
Leon: So say it.
Fatman: I-I understand.
Leon: Good.
[returns the phone to him, disappears]
Fatman: [paralyzed for a few seconds, relieved]
Jesus..
