What?
My mother was
a borderline personality.
So what?
- I don't know
if you knew that.
- no.
Well, I did not have
a very happy childhood.
No?
There was little love
in the house.
He's mentioned your mother
very briefly.
A very difficult woman,
Undermining.
I tried to place her
in a retirement community
For her own good--
She turned on me
completely.
You see, I never could
please my ther.
To what do I owe
this chance to go
sake bombing?
We used to have dinner
all the time.
You're gonna get married
and my chances are
flying by me.
- yeah.
- so, your brother,
Our little soldier boy--
What do you think is wrong
with that googootz?
The world is
a sad, fucked-up place.
If there's so much
suffering in the world,
- why did you go off
the pediatrician bit?
- we talked about that.
You said you
wanted to be a lawyer
for black people.
Oh, that's all I said?
Really?
What I said was:
the state can crush
the individual.
- New Jersey?
- the government.
Specifically,
the federal government.
And what about
little babies
In the face
of meningitis?
You know what really
turned me?
Seeing the way
italians are treated.
It's like mom says.
And if we can have our
rights trampled like that,
Imagine what it's like
for recent arrivals.
- well...
- if I hadn't seen you
Dragged away
all those times
by the fbi
Then I'd probably be
a boring suburban doctor.
( rock song playing )
Bye-bye.
Wave "bye-bye, grandpa."
- bye-bye, pop-pop.
- say "bye-bye."
- bye-bye.
- bye-bye.
( cooing )
I gotta make
a phone call.
I'll meet you
at the drugstore.
Tell the goddamn pharmacist
to call dr. Iaconis.
I should get
a 60-day supply
of the plavix.
Phil! Phil!
Oh my god!
Phil!
Oh my god!
Help!
Help me!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
My babies!
Somebody help!
Help me!
The babies!
- somebody help me!
- okay, okay.
Help me, please!
Oh, god, they're
locked in there!
- ( head squishes, pops )
- ( Patty wails )
- oh!
- oh shit!
( retches )
( speaking arabic )
- seen metro news?
- no.
Your old beat.
Phil Leotardo got popped.
Damn.
We're gonna win
this thing.
Okay...
As your parents
we don't feel
Joining the army
is in your best interest.
This country is
in a crisis.
How can one soldier
stop it?
When my enlistment's up,
I could join
the CIA or something.
And with
a military background
I'll have a leg up.
And as an arabic speaker,
I'll be really useful.
I don't understand.
You're gonna ask
the donald
For some time off
from your pilot job
to go on CIA missions?
- everything's a joke to you.
- I'm not having a good time.
Did you or did
you not want me to go
to military school?
But I started to cry.
At least you'd have
come out an officer.
Even then
I was opposed to it.
I hate this idea.
I'm applying for
officer's candidate school.
I want to be
a liaison officer
With the local
population anyway.
Officer's candidate school?
You have terrible grades.
You flunked out of college.
Here we go.
That's all this is
about, right?
No, Anthony, that's not
what this is all about.
You don't want
to go to college--
don't go to college,
- but don't get
your legs blown off.
- always with the drama.
So what does
your girlfriend say,
the fashion model?
She doesn't think
I should go either.
Well?
Not that long ago
you talked about
owning a club.
Right.
You had a problem
with that too.
A lot of your friends
are in film school,
you say,
Especially the ones
you used to go to
the clubs with.
Uh...
So I got this screenplay
from danny baldwin.
We met at your
cousin's movie.
Danny hoped
I'd set him up
with some financing,
- but I never read it.
- well, you did now.
Yeah, I did now and...
Well, long story short,
it's about a private
detective
That gets sucked
into the internet
through his, uh, data port.
And he's gotta solve
Some
