:15:04
You're a class act, Jessie.
:15:07
I still remember those stretch limos
out to Shea when I was 12.
:15:11
Yeah, the driver was working off
a gambling debt.
:15:14
It was a wonderful way to travel, no?
:15:17
Cheers.
:15:21
Those piers used to hum.
Half the West Side worked on the docks.
:15:26
The pickings were great.
:15:29
That's where I landed, right over there.
:15:32
- September '46.
- My grandmother?
:15:36
Yeah.
:15:38
Those happy years for the two of you?
:15:40
Happy? Married to a Sicilian?
Happiness is against their nature.
:15:44
She spent every waking hour cooking
pasta. She had me pissing olive oil.
:15:49
You be careful,
you got some of that blood.
:15:51
Try to encourage
the Scottish genes, Adam.
:15:55
Wonder how Vito would've turned out
if you'd married somebody Scottish.
:15:59
He'd have had a proper first name,
for a start. Instead of Vito.
:16:02
And he'd have been at least
five inches taller.
:16:12
That was a terrific night, Jessie.
:16:15
Some bacon and eggs,
a couple drinks.
:16:19
When I called, it wasn't just
to get together after all this time.
:16:23
- No?
- No. I wanted...
:16:26
I really wanted to ask you
about something. Your opinion.
:16:30
What?
:16:33
There's an ex-professor of mine,
he's a brilliant Chinese-American guy...
:16:37
...and he's got a scam.
:16:40
Says it's a good deal,
as easy as could be.
:16:43
Nobody ever tells you a deal's hard, kid.
:16:47
Well, he needs an answer.
:16:49
I've stalled him for a couple of weeks,
but now he says he needs an answer.
:16:52
Says it means a lot of money.
:16:56
What's a Chinaman's idea
of a lot of money?
:16:59
A million dollars.
