message, anthony.
You got your head
Up your ass today.
- what's going on?
- my aunt dottie's been sick.
Call i got?
She just died.
Sorry.
You were close?
Your mom's sister
Or your dad's?
Mom's.
- she must be
broken up, huh?
Here we are.
Guess your brother
And sister coming in?
Your aunt,
She's the nun.
- always wondered.
They got hair
Under there?
Yeah, short.
Well maybe you don't
Wanna talk about it.
Those wedding rings
They wear...
Are they really
Married to jesus?
So i understand.
T, this is the guy,
The paramedic.
"wallet biopsy"?
Nice.
Very nice.
These people
Are saying i took money
From your wallet? Fuck that.
Whoa whoa whoa.
What'd you say?
I was looking for proof of
Insurance. I was only doing
My job.
- they heard a lot of that
at nuremburg.
You owe me two k.
It was gone from my wallet.
I don't have
That kind of money.
One week,
rudy diaz,
Or you'll need
A paramedic.
Oh, nice of you to come by.
We'll see you next week, huh?
All this activity, tony,
Are you getting any rest?
Absolutely. The guys
Are just leaving.
Carmela.
So, you two
Came together.
You talking now?
Mom apologized to me.
And he got a job
At blockbuster.
Good.
Well i'm glad
To see you made up.
fucker keeps
dropping his hands.
Your boy's
Getting tired.
Fool's costing me
50 g's.
who you place
your action with?
- pinnacle.
- online?
What price they give
You on alvarez?
350.
damn!
Hold the motherfucker
Steady!
My friend here'll
Give you 375.
Right, paulie?
HE DON'T EVEN
WANNA FIGHT, MAN.
Wonder what kind
Of health insurance
He's got.
It's a life of abuse.
Yes, well he
Is a boxer.
It's the same
For everybody.
Look at you, t.
You do your uncle
A kindness,
You get shot
For your efforts.
You think you got family,
But in the end,
They fuck you too.
He's grieving.
His aunt just died.
I tell ya, we each
And every one of us,
We're alone in the ring,
Fighting for our lives,
- just like that poor prick.
- well, that's one way
to look at it.
- you got a better one?
- don't get me started.
it's complicated.
You think i'm stupid?!
It's actually an illusion
Those two boxers are
Separate entities.
- what the fuck?
- illusion?
Their separate entities
Is simply the way we choose
To perceive them.
- i didn't chose nothing.
- schwinn: it's physics.
Schr dinger's equation.
The boxers, you, me--
We're all part of the same
Quantum field.
You ever substitute teach
At carver middle school?
He's a rocket scientist,
For christ's sake. Bell labs.
Shit. Lift it up,
Nigga!
You were saying?
Well, think
Of the two boxers
As ocean waves
Or currents of air,
Two tornadoes, say.
They appear to be
Two things, right?
Two separate things.
But they're not. Tornadoes are just
Wind, the wind stirred up
in different directions.
The fact is,
Nothing is separate--
Everything's connected.
Everything is everything.
- i'm down with that.
- get the fuck out of here.
- schwinn: the universe is just
one big soup of molecules...
...bumping up against
one another.
The shapes we see
Exist only in our
Own consciousness.
Keshawn, don't make me
Come over there.
You'reo fucking smart,
Fix that tv.
Besides the financial
Ramifications,
He says there's
The issue of his w-2
And health insurance.
That selfish prick.
I'm sitting in here
Facing a shitstorm
And all he can think
About is himself?!
As far as
The sale's concerned,
That ship has sailed.
It's going through,
And as a friend,
I would appreciate
Tony's help.
Because he's a friend,
Here's what i'm willing
To do.
Cinelli will retain
Him as waste management
Consultant for two years.
During that time,
He can keep his fucking w-2
And his health insurance.
Plus 5%
Of the sale price.
And we lease him
A new car.
Are you fuckin'
Kidding me?
I told them i need
That w-2 in perpetuity,
And 5% of the fucking
Sale price?!
He
