cents. Yeah, come on. - Tommy says you wanted to see me? - Here's your pay through yesterday. Today's money goes toward the meat you robbed. Be out in five minutes or I'll break your fucking legs. Robbing? Me, man? Wanna open up the boxes for Jimmy's Tavern? Go ahead. Go ahead, open them up. Man, how am I gonna live on the shit wages you paying? Where'd you come to borrow money when your baby had pneumonia, Julio? Where? We treated you like family here, right? Well, you just better hope your family all stay healthy. - What did you say? - I said you take... You busted my nose, man. - You working for a maniac, lady. - Come on, go. He busted my beak over a piece of meat. Is this what's called a midlife crisis? Goodbye and God bless you, Danny Doheny. Come on. It'll make you feel better, Mrs. Doheny. If you're here to start smacking me around again... No. I'm sorry about that. I apologize. Accepted. Let's forget it. I didn't expect to see you here. Guy was serving us drinks four days ago. Yeah. You can't wheel my casket dolly around the place. This is a wake. There ought to be a little decorum. There's a barrel of beer on its way, we need to set it on something. Not in my place. The Board of Health can close me. Neary, since you've gone AA, you're like a wet rag. It's illegal to even bring beer in here. Neary, the mortician. His sister Margaret, an ex-nun, used to own a very classy, expensive... ...nursery school down on Gramercy Park. You interviewed for that. - An interview for a nursery school? - It was very fancy. - What did they ask me? - What you watched on TV... ...did you know your ABCs... - Of course I knew my ABCs. Adam, you read an entire New York Times editorial on the U. N. - Adam, you missed exactly five words. - Spare me the rest. - They offer me a scholarship? - A scholarship? They would have paid $ 1000 a semester just to get their hands on you. They wanted me for what all the other schools did. Solve geometry problems in the fourth grade for important visitors. I used to feel like a performing seal at the blackboard. - Adam, you were so gifted. - Let's just drop it, Pop. A gift shouldn't be thrown in the garbage. - This is not the time or the place... - This is the perfect time and place. See, I was raised to be a thief. You weren't. - You don't have to go along. - No, you, you don't have to go along. - That's the real point. - I wanna go along. Your mom and I had such enormous hopes for you, kiddo. - Nobody's hopes work out, Pop. - Right. I'm half your age, I already know that. Well, a toast seems appropriate. - To Danny Doheny. - To hell with him. To McMullens. Now then, lucky lads, let's catch up on a little family business. Yeah. Nothing like a good robbery to bring a family close. He's such a fucking wisenheimer, your father. - Does he do the same to you? - Probably a little less than I do to him. Let's make a decision. - Let's. - Talk. Are you familiar at all with DNA research? Yeah, I read a couple of magazine articles. Gene-splicing. You know, they're breeding chickens... ...that weigh more than you or me. Try to keep current, huh? Well, nobody knows what's gonna happen yet... ...but the possibilities look limitless. The small companies who are in it first... ...are hoping to be the IBMs and the Bell Telephones 20 years from now. There's a new red-hot, very secret development. It's an agricultural plasmid. Yeasts that are fixing nitrogen. That means that you could raise wheat, corn... ...damn near anything to grow with no fertilizer. The stakes are enormous. Farmers spend billions... Fuck the farmers. Tell him what our end is. Jimmy Chiu, an ex-professor of mine... ...he works at a biology lab out in Nassau County. He helped found the company.
