here.
-Yeah, it's not much.
You never told me you had a girlfriend
named Mary Lou in high school.
I made it up.
God, you can be charming
when you wanna be.
I hope you don't mind the can.
No. It helps to keep them fresh.
Nice nuts.
No, thanks. I mustn't spoil my appetite.
-Do you mind if I shut the window?
-No, go right ahead.
I love your curtains.
Thank you.
See, what'd I tell you?
They was 49 cents a yard, reduced from 79.
I made 'em myself,
and the saleslady told me that...
...Debbie Reynolds had been in
and bought the same material.
That's enough.
All day.
She was wonderin' what you
was gonna talk about.
I told her you was both women.
That's right. We're all alike.
What'd you mean by that?
That's the restaurant.
We're going to have something
real special for dinner. Chinese.
Lou Wong's is the best Chinese....
The best Chinese restaurant
in Astoria, it's--
-I hope you like Chinese food.
-I love it.
Yes, love it.
Give me the box. They look better
when they're all lined up here together.
The boys just hate Chinese food.
That's why they're out.
Hell, that's not why they're not home,
they're never home, not even the good one.
Joe's real funny about the boys.
He likes 'em right here when he comes in.
What he'd like is to have 'em all lined up,
military fashion, in the doorway...
...when he comes home, sayin', "Hi, Pop."
Yeah.
I was really sorry to hear
about your daughter. Is she okay?
She's fine, thank you.
Kids.
Everything today's kids.
They make you feel so old-fashioned,
you know?
We made our parents feel
old-fashioned, but...
...we didn't make them feel old-fashioned
like the kids make us feel old-fashioned.
Everything today's kids.
-They are taking over the culture.
-The what?
The culture:
the movies, books, clothes, music.
Yeah, yeah.
They're all screwed up,
so they got control of the culture, right?
They're all screwed up,
so they're screwin' up the culture.
It ain't what the kids say,
we screwed them up.
It's the other way around,
with all that culture crap.
It's the kids who are screwin' us up.
Am I right?
Yes, of course.
Fuckin' A.
-You mean, she knows you killed a junkie?
-Yes, she knows.
-What'd you do, go and tell her?
-No, she figured it out, just as you did.
Christ. Here.
-What are you doing?
-Don't worry, relax.
Joan, I got something I wanna show you.
Joe, she don't wanna see your guns.
Sure she does, it'll just take a minute.
-What the hell did you go and do that for?
-Don't worry, you'll see.
Look, it's not the gun, I just wanted to
get you away from Mary Lou.
See, look.
I want to tell you not to worry
about a thing...
...'cause nothing's gonna happen to you.
Your husband's a great guy,
and nothin's gonna happen to him.
The police in this town ain't gonna
bust their ass over one junkie murder.
See, a guy who kills one junkie
might kill another junkie.
So why bust him? He's doin'
such good work for the cops, see?
That make you feel better?
Yes, thank you.
Okay, now I want you to go upstairs,
I want you to relax.
I want you to enjoy yourself
with Mary Lou, okay?
I got here what you might call
a well-balanced gun collection, see?
I wrote a letter to an ammo magazine,
and they wrote back, sayin':
"You got a well-balanced collection," see?
Now, this I got off a Jap,
a dead Jap on Okinawa.
Then I got.... Here, hold this.
Here is my old M-1. There's a lotta stories
behind that, believe me.
Right on the Park?
Yes, it is lovely. We have a beautiful view.
I never been in an apartment
like that before, never.
I always wondered what it'd be like,
what it'd look like on the inside.
-I always wanted to see.
-We'll have you and Joe up one day.
-You will?
-Yes, of course.
That'd be nice. What about next week?
Tuesday, Saturday....
Saturday'd be good for us.
I got a lot of other stuff over here, too.
Got some handguns, some shotguns.
I got a couple of trophies
for marksmanship.
I'm a real good
