PADDY
(to PEARL and GOONS)
Will you get a load of this jerk off.
(to NICK)
Who the fuck are you—Funk and  
Wagnalls?  Alright already, as I
said, "The sit-down was supposed to  
be between Big Angie and…I.”   
 
NICK
Unfortunately, Mr. Stefano had a  
previous commitment that he couldn't   
get out of.
 
PADDY
Yeah?  What's her name?

He laughs. The FOUR GOONS make a show of laughing heartily.

NICK
(to PADDY)
Mr. Stefano meant no disrespect—

PADDY fixes NICK with a burning look.

PADDY
Bullshit!  Mr. Stefano, Mr. Stefano!  
“Mr. Stefano meant no disrespect.”
The fuck he didn’t!  He sends a 
fucking errand boy to a meet!  All  
of you greaseballs are alike; you    
talk outta both sides of your mouths.
