The Black Donnellys

[last lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
That was the Donnellys. They could never make it more than a block outta the neighborhood.

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin, come here a minute.

Kevin Donnelly:
I'm eating my cereal.

Tommy Donnelly:
What, is it gonna get cold?

Kevin Donnelly:
[shakes head] Soggy. I hate that.

Tommy Donnelly:
We're gonna need some Scotch and a lot of it. But we're not gonna be able to pay for it just yet.

Liquor Store Owner:
Get outta here.

Tommy Donnelly:
I think you're gonna wanna give it to us.

Liquor Store Owner:
Oh yeah? And why's that?

Tommy Donnelly:
Because your daughter has a crush on Kevin. He's gonna date her if you don't.

Liquor Store Owner:
[face drops]

[narrating]

Joey Ice Cream:
See, the thing about telling lies is if you're good at it, people don't know they're being lied to. So then the question is, can you live with the lies you tell?

[first lines]

Detective at prison:
So, where are the bodies?

Joey Ice Cream:
Ah, man. These guys are my friends.

Detective at prison:
Here's the deal, Joey. You tell us where the bodies are, how they got there, and you stay in solitary, nice and safe. You lie, you go to general population where more people than I can count want to see you dead.

Joey Ice Cream:
[looking nervous]

Detective Sunny:
[throws a book down on the table harshly] Where are the bodies?

[as Tommy is leaving the hospital to seek vengeance for his brother]

Tommy Donnelly:
Where are you going?

Kevin Donnelly:
Wherever you are.

[as Jenny is sitting in a church pew, looking solemn]

Father Dufelt:
Okay. You outlasted me. You won't come in, I'll come to you.

Jenny Reilly:
Thanks, Father, but I'm not here for confession.

Father Dufelt:
You've been on your knees for 45 minutes. I know a sin when I see one.

[narrating]

Joey Ice Cream:
The hardest lies are the ones we believe ourselves.

Kevin Donnelly:
[talking about where to dump Louie's body] What about the landfill? I mean we could sneak him in, put him under some garbage, they bury him for us.

Tommy Donnelly:
The landfill on Staten Island?

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah

Tommy Donnelly:
[sarcastically] So what, we just take the ferry? Just the three of us?

Kevin Donnelly:
Okay, we stuff him in a furnace.

Tommy Donnelly:
Our furnace?

Kevin Donnelly:
No, of course not. Somebody elses.

Tommy Donnelly:
So you know somebody who's got a furnace large enough for a body?

Kevin Donnelly:
I'd have to think about it. Umm... How about a tub full of acid?

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin stop making suggestions you're really freaking me out.

Kevin Donnelly:
[Tommy kicks at a barstool] You wonder why we keep having to buy new stools?

Joey Ice Cream:
But it's like the old saying goes: "The only way two people can keep a secret is if both of them are dead".

Lawyer:
You mean if one of them is dead. That's the saying.

Joey Ice Cream:
Obviously we come from different neighborhoods.

Tommy Donnelly:
Now we gotta get rid of a body in broad daylight.

Kevin Donnelly:
Okay, so we'll wait 'til tonight.

Tommy Donnelly:
Yeah, you're right Kevin, 'cause the smell of a rotting body is not gonna attract any attention. Let's wait.

Kevin Donnelly:
Again with the sarcasm. I'm getting sick of it Tommy.

Dockey Farrell:
Tommy, get in.

Tommy Donnelly:
If you don't mind, I'd just like to walk.

Dockey Farrell:
[to driver] Hey, put him in the trunk.

Tommy Donnelly:
I'm getting in.

Kevin Donnelly:
[after Tommy's just left a meeting with the Italians] How'd it go?

Tommy Donnelly:
Like it went. What the hell is Joey Ice Cream doing here?

Kevin Donnelly:
I have no idea.

Helen Donnelly:
I think that if you know someone's good, you know it in your belly. And you trust that if they had to do something, they had no other choice.

Helen Donnelly:
Whenever I watch my boys sleeping, I still see them as five years old in my head. Does that sound crazy? Always five, but they're not babies anymore. But they're not little men either.

Joey Ice Cream:
Hey, you guys take off. I'll watch everything here.

Tommy Donnelly:
Where the hell did you come from?

Joey Ice Cream:
What? I've been here the whole time. Oh, and don't worry, mums the word. My lips are sealed.

Tommy Donnelly:
You pay for that beer?

Joey Ice Cream:
Yeah... Probably...

Kevin Donnelly:
Wait, Jimmy! Wait, wait!

Jimmy Donnelly:
What?

Kevin Donnelly:
If I took this to the track first, I could double it.

Jimmy Donnelly:
You gamble a penny of that money, I'm gonna bite your thumbs off!

Kevin Donnelly:
Why is everyone using sarcasm on me today?

Tommy Donnelly:
I should have told you last night. I love you.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
Okay, here's what you might have missed. There were four Donnelly brothers: Shaun, Kevin, Jimmy and Tommy. They had this thing for getting into trouble. Usually because Jimmy did something stupid like stealing a truck full of Hawaiian shirts, leaving Tommy to clean all of the mess. Did I mention Tommy had a thing for Jenny Reilly?

Lawyer:
Joey, I am your lawyer, okay. You don't need to lie to me.

Joey Ice Cream:
What? Who's lying? I'm an open book. What do you want to know?

Lawyer:
Why am I representing you?

Joey Ice Cream:
'Cause I'm an innocent man.

Opening Subtitle:
"Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart." -W. B. Yeats, Easter 1916

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin, nobody saw us.

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah, what about the parking lot guy?

Tommy Donnelly:
That was five blocks away.

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah, but he nodded at me.

Tommy Donnelly:
So we should kill him?

Kevin Donnelly:
No! No, of course not! [pause] I mean, unless you think...

Tommy Donnelly:
You gotta stop!

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Shaun] Hey, Sean. For such a pretty boy you are one tough son of a b*tch.

Jenny Reilly:
[to Tommy] What happened? Tell me.

Nicky Cottero:
I was, you know, wonderin' if you had any news?

Detective Frankie Stein:
You a reporter now, Nicky?

Nicky Cottero:
You know, Sal, he's a beloved employer. So understand all the staff's gonna be a little upset. I was just wonderin' if you had somethin' I could pass on.

Detective Frankie Stein:
No, just a couple of questions. What was the head of the Irish mob doin' with all the Italians?

Nicky Cottero:
Drinkin'? Watchin' porn? I couldn't tell ya.

Tommy Donnelly:
Are you wearing two jackets?

Kevin Donnelly:
How do you mean?

Tommy Donnelly:
[Tommy slowly reveals two jackets that Kevin is wearing] You are! I told you we had to get rid of what we we're wearing!

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah, but it's my favorite one.

Tommy Donnelly:
Throw it out right now!

Kevin Donnelly:
Aww, man!

Jenny's Pop:
[to Jenny] Jenny, listen to me, please. I know you like Tommy, and I don't think he's a bad kid. It's just that... it's like something is in their blood. And no matter how hard they try to do good, that blood is always gonna seep through. And it poisons whatever it touches.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[on the phone] Now just get down here and bail me.

Kevin Donnelly:
[on the phone] Not gonna do it.

Tommy Donnelly:
You think you can just bail Jimmy out and suddenly he's not gonna be the guy who got us into all this crap? You wanna forget the fact that he shot Louie?

Kevin Donnelly:
And how many people did we shoot last night, Tommy?

Tommy Donnelly:
Because of Jimmy!

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Kevin] You don't get it do you? We're screwed here.

Kevin Donnelly:
[Tommy and Kevin are driving to Jersey to dump Louie's body] [covering nose] Damn, the stench of 'em. I feel like it's in my skin, drive faster.

Tommy Donnelly:
And get stopped for a ticket? Smart. [pause] Did you lock the door of the back of the bar?

Kevin Donnelly:
While you were berating me or while I was digging a corpse out of the dumpster?

Tommy Donnelly:
Nice sarcasm, isn't it?

Kevin Donnelly:
Don't make me laugh, I'm still pissed at you.

Tommy Donnelly:
[smiling] You're pissed at me!

Kevin Donnelly:
Damn straight!

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Kevin] This is the abandoned swamp with nothing around for miles and miles? [camera pans to show giant hardware store]

Kevin Donnelly:
The last time I was here. Yeah.

Tommy Donnelly:
[Tommy and Kevin have some difficulty in stuffing Louie into a barrel] Yeah, now who's stupid, huh? Couldn't get a bigger barrel?

Kevin Donnelly:
They don't make bigger barrels!

Tommy Donnelly:
Come on, grab his legs again.

Kevin Donnelly:
No! No, not until I know he's dead.

Tommy Donnelly:
He's dead. That was just gas escaping from his body.

Kevin Donnelly:
Then why did you jump?

Tommy Donnelly:
Because you did!

Tommy Donnelly:
[Louie's body is in a dumpster] Get in. I'll grab him on this side.

Kevin Donnelly:
You get in.

Tommy Donnelly:
I'm driving.

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah, what does that have to do with anything?

Tommy Donnelly:
You don't get in, I don't drive.

Tommy Donnelly:
[finding Louie's body] Damn it, Jimmy!

Tommy Donnelly:
[in reference to the body] I mean how can he just dump it there? What the hell is he thinking?

Kevin Donnelly:
Come on, where would you have put it?

Tommy Donnelly:
Not in the dumpster behind our bar!

Kevin Donnelly:
[to Tommy, about Jimmy] We're his brothers. He's sick. He needs us.

Kevin Donnelly:
[to Tommy] You give that money back, they're gonna blow your brains out. Then they're gonna come looking for the rest of us.

Nicky Cottero:
Hey kid! Tell you brother Jimmy, I'm gonna be seeing him real soon.

Tommy Donnelly:
That'd be great. He'd enjoy the visitor. Uh, didn't you hear? Jimmy was arrested yesterday. He's been in jail.

Vinnie Culiari:
You were asking me if this isn't the best idea you've come up with.

Nicky Cottero:
Really? What do you think was my best idea?

Vinnie Culiari:
Your very best?

Nicky Cottero:
Best you can think of.

Vinnie Culiari:
Squeezing Jimmy Donnelly till he whacked Sal.

Nicky Cottero:
That worked out pretty well, didn't it?

Tommy Donnelly:
[speaking to his brothers] From now on, we only trust the people in this room.

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Nicky] That money makes us even.

Joey Ice Cream:
[voiceover] There was no way for him to know way back then that God was gonna take away the one thing Tommy wanted most.

[last lines]

Tommy Donnelly:
I'll let you know.

Dockey Farrell:
Okay.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Pay attention this time. I hate repeating muself.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] See, Tommy Donnelly's dream was to pursue all that art crap. Now, it's a little gay for me, but for Tommy, it was the only thing other than Jenny Reilly that he ever really wanted. And he decided to go for it, once and for all.

Kevin Donnelly:
Okay, we got a problem. [he shows Jimmy Louie's cell phone]

Jimmy Donnelly:
What's this?

Kevin Donnelly:
Louie Downtown's cell phone.

Jimmy Donnelly:
The one you were supposed to throw away!

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah, but that's not the problem.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[cut to Jimmy smashing the phone on the counter] That's how you're supposed to get rid of a cell phone, Kevin!

Kevin Donnelly:
I guess I should've done that.

Jimmy Donnelly:
You guess?

Whitey:
[about Nicky] He's playing games with us.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Or he wants to make a deal with us.

Whitey:
What kind of deal?

Jimmy Donnelly:
I don't know. But If someone stole my business I'd wanna kill them, unless I thought they could make me money.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Now, Dokey had a dream, too. He wanted to be his brother, Huey. Councilman Jack Trevor recently told Dokey how to achieve that dream. Unfortunately, things kept getting in the way.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Jack] Jack, you talk to me like I'm some street punk again and I'm gonna cut your tongue out.

Mia:
[Jimmy opens the cashier to Nicky's bar and starts taking out money] You do know that Nicky Cottero owns this bar, right? Well, the last guy that didn't pay his bar tab, got a meat hook up his ass. What do you thinks gonna happen to you if you rob the place? [to Whitey] What's the matter with this guy?

Whitey:
I can't talk to him either.

Tommy Donnelly:
When the Pope calls me, I'll clean his toilet.

Nicky Cottero:
[on the phone] I already told ya, I don't want to deal with the hard head junkie brother. I want to deal with the smart brother.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[on the phone] You don't talk to Tommy. You talk to me.

Nicky Cottero:
[on the phone] Get Tommy to give me a call. You do now how to deliver a message, don't you?

Sean Donnelly:
[to Tommy] Jimmy's on his way to kill Nicky. He's got a gun.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] The one guy who could've had his dream and made it out of the neighborhood. Whitey. He was so fast, he could've made the Olympics or something like that, but the idiot never went out to track.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Tommy] You know what, Tommy. Party's over.

Joey Ice Cream:
Actually, now that I think about it, no wonder I'm depressed. That was the day I lost my dream too.

Doctor:
Oh?

Joey Ice Cream:
I always wanted to be a short-order cook.

Doctor:
So, why didn't you ask her for a job?

Joey Ice Cream:
[surprised] I never thought of that!

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Now, for some people, losing a dream can make you dangerous, 'cause they don't think long term. They just want what they want, when they want it.

[last lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[after end credits] Hey, I'm feeling much better now. You got anymore of that food left?

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] You think you had a tough day? Try being a Donnelly. You remember them right? Sean, Kevin, Jimmy and Tommy. With them everyday was trouble.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] But it's like that old saying goes. The only way for two people to keep a secret is if both of them are dead.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Tommy] Do you think I don't know you got Frankie to put me in here?

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Tommy] My strong big brother won't bail me out!

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
Now, you tell your boss this happens once a day until I find out who killed my brother.

Johnny Mac:
[to Tommy] Tommy, look. I like you, I like Sean. I like my toes better. Come in tomorrow, talk to Dokey yourself.

Harold McElroy:
And you and your brother are both going to jail. You no good piece of sh...

[is hit by a bus]

Kevin Donnelly:
Damn.

Nicky Cottero:
[to Tommy] See, here's the thing, Tommy. If I don't get my money, I kill you and I collect from your brother. He don't pay me, I kill him and move on to the next brother.

Father Dufelt:
Before I can even think about giving you absolution, you have to promise before God that you won't ever do anything like this again. Can you do that?

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Tommy didn't need to promise. He already decided there was never gonna be a good enough reason to kill anybody ever again.

Detective McCarthy:
[to Joey Ice Cream] Are you saying Tommy Donnelly never killed again? Because if I look stupid to you, I'd just like to know right up front.

Joey Ice Cream:
That was the plan. Tommy's plan was to make things right with God and save what was left of his soul. The problem was he thought he could do that and still take care of his brothers. Which of course was the same plan that got him into all this trouble to begin with. Which meant he had to get Jimmy into rehab.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Plead guilty?

Tommy Donnelly:
Frankie's tight with the DA. You're not gonna do a day in jail.

Jimmy Donnelly:
It's really nice of you and Frankie to take care of me like this. Do I say thank you before I plead guilty or after?

Tommy Donnelly:
The only way we get out of this is if nobody talks. Understand me. More people who know, the more chance it has of getting out.

Jimmy Donnelly:
I'm not people. I'm your brother.

Kevin Donnelly:
[on the phone] Slow down, Ma. You're talking fast, I can't hear you.

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin, what's wrong with her?

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't know, Tommy.

Tommy Donnelly:
Is there a problem with Sean?

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't know, Tommy. I can't hear Ma because you're talking while she's talking!

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Kevin wasn't the only one with his own plan. Nicky Cottero, had one too. The boss sent for Nicky because he wanted to know what happened to Sal. Nicky, on the other hand, planned to say as little as possible on the subject.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Alo considered himself something of a ladies' man. Of course, being head of the Family, Alo could consider himself Pope. He wasn't going to get much argument from anybody.

Tommy Donnelly:
Can we meet up later, maybe talk a little bit?

Jenny Reilly:
I don't think so. I gotta get back to work.

Tommy Donnelly:
Come on, Jenny.

Jenny Reilly:
It's hard enough for me to say it the first time. I don't wanna have to do it again.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Tommy called asking me to bring him a crowbar. I didn't know why he was asking, but when somebody calls and asks for a crowbar, I figure I should bring one.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Kevin] You're acting like you just killed a guy for me or something.

Kevin Donnelly:
Hey, Sean. Damn. You look like you got hit in the face with a bat.

Sean Donnelly:
You don't look any better.

Kevin Donnelly:
What another beer?

Joanie:
Up yours!

Kevin Donnelly:
What are you mad at me for?

Joanie:
'Cause Kevin, you're all the same

Kevin Donnelly:
You know what they said against Jimmy?

[last lines]

Nicky Cottero:
[to Tommy] See you Friday, kid.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] The irony of Tommy trying to keep Jimmy in jail was that growing up most of his time was spent trying to do just the opposite.

[to Kevin, speaking of the unplugged freezer with the spoiled food in it]

Tommy Donnelly:
What the hell is this? Huh? It's unplugged.

Kevin Donnelly:
I think Jimmy's using the outlet for his drill. He's building a birdhouse.

Tommy Donnelly:
A birdhouse? Beautiful.

[coming down the stairs to the basement]

Jimmy Donnelly:
Where are all my damn guns?

Tommy Donnelly:
Why do you need a gun, Jimmy? Did you catch a bird in your birdhouse?

Jimmy Donnelly:
At least I can build something. All you can do is screw everything up!

[leaving the jail with Tommy after visiting Jimmy]

Kevin Donnelly:
Didn't you see what he looked like in there?

Tommy Donnelly:
He's a junkie! We bail him out and five minutes later he's gonna be shooting up again!

Kevin Donnelly:
You think he won't score dope in there?

Tommy Donnelly:
Not if he doesn't have any money! You give him any money? Did you give any money?

Kevin Donnelly:
It's real easy for you to stand out here and judge him.

Tommy Donnelly:
You want him to die, Kevin? Hmm? We leave him where he is. Don't borry any money, don't go to a bail bondsman. Nothing. Nothing!

Kevin Donnelly:
[looks defeated]

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Where have you been that you don't know this? I was the only one that knew it was Tommy that ran over Jimmy's leg. But Tommy never let himself forget it. And he never stole a car again.

Sean Donnelly:
[about Sean's new car] Hey, hey, hey. What do you think?

Tommy Donnelly:
You pay money for this thing?

Sean Donnelly:
Yeah, two thousand, got a great deal.

Tommy Donnelly:
Dollars?

Sean Donnelly:
Plus, he gave me a free driver's license.

Tommy Donnelly:
Mrs. McCready, I can't help you.

Mrs. McCready:
But your Dad cared about people.

Tommy Donnelly:
[sharply] What?

Mrs. McCready:
Your Father would never turn his back on a friend. I'm sorry for you that you never learned that from him.

Joey Ice Cream:
We turned The Firecracker into the hottest place in town.

Father Dufelt:
[interrupting] Joey!

Joey Ice Cream:
What?

Father Dufelt:
I've lived in the neighborhood forty years. And I still live there. The Firecracker's, The Firecracker.

Joey Ice Cream:
[back pedaling after being caught in the lie] Oh, yeah. No, uh it wasn't The Firecracker at all. It was this other place I was thinking about, we took over a long time after.

Father Dufelt:
Took over?

Joey Ice Cream:
I mean bought.

Sean Donnelly:
[referring to The Firecracker, wanting Kevin to get to work] Come on, Kevin. Have a little pride. This is the family business, here.

Kevin Donnelly:
Crime is the family business, Sean. This is just a staging area.

Sean Donnelly:
I'm calling Jimmy.

Kevin Donnelly:
What are you Tommy now? Gimme the phone!

Sean Donnelly:
You gonna get that stock for me? [Kevin gets up and reaches for the bar phone. He begins to dial] What are you doing?

Kevin Donnelly:
Calling Mom. Figure she'd like to know you're not planning on going back to school. [Sean gives in and hands Kevin back the phone]

Jimmy Donnelly:
Maybe we could go out sometime. Go see a movie, get a beer.

Jenny Reilly:
What are you doing, Jimmy?

Jimmy Donnelly:
I'm asking you out.

Jenny Reilly:
You're such a jerk.

Tommy Donnelly:
[upon being told Mrs. McCready is a drug dealer] You're a liar.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Yeah, you're right. I'm lying. Probably not, but the same old Mrs. McCready who lives in the apartment 2C in the old flats. 'Cause if you kicked some gangster ass for that old b*tch, that'd be the jackass move of the month.

Jimmy Donnelly:
We need to talk.

Jenny's Pop:
About what?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Protection.

Jenny's Pop:
[to Jimmy] You're a real prince. Get the hell out of my diner! [Jimmy punches him] .

Jenny Reilly:
We're not gonna give you a nickel! Not ever!

Jimmy Donnelly:
Wake up! Someone always gets paid. From now on, it's gonna be me.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Now I know Jimmy may have seemed like an ass. Excuse me, Father. It's just that it's hard not to behave like an ass, when you've been betrayed.

Kate Farrell:
[on the phone] Hi, it's Kate. Can I speak to Tommy?

Kevin Donnelly:
[to Kate] Yeah, hold on. I'll see if he's here. [barely covers phone and asks Tommy who is lying in bed] It's Kate. You wanna talk to her?

Tommy Donnelly:
Nice, Kevin. Like she doesn't really know I'm here now.

Tommy Donnelly:
You extorting money from Jenny? From her Father?

Jimmy Donnelly:
It's business, Tommy. It's the habit.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Jimmy loved Tommy more than anybody. But see, once you've been betrayed by somebody you love... you're capable of anything.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
How old are you, Reilly?

Jenny's Pop:
What's my age have to do with anything?

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
'Cause you're way too old to be playing the hero.

[last lines]

Nicky Cottero:
[to Kevin] Actually, I'm a lot clearer now. So we're square up to now.

Kate Farrell:
[to Tommy] I think it might be good for you to meet him.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
Here's what you need to know, you remember Kate Farrell? Huey's widow?

Young Tommy:
How did you get naked photos of her?

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over narration] She asked Tommy to have his wake at the Fire Cracker. A little awkward seeing that Tommy did kill Huey, but Tommy had bigger problems, like Huey's brother Dokey, who thought Jimmy killed Huey. Actually Jimmy killed Louie the bookie, and since no bookie means no money for Louie's boss Nicky, Tommy has to make up the difference every week.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Even someone as good as Jenny Reilly couldn't start the day without lying.

Joey Ice Cream:
If I'm pathological every guy in my neighborhood's a clinical study.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[Jimmy wakes up in the bar and finds Joey alseep under the pool table] What are you doing here? This is a bar, not a place to sleep.

Joey Ice Cream:
I was just resting my eyes.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[drinks from a bottle] Want some wine?

Joey Ice Cream:
Are you nuts? There's an alien inside my head.

Jimmy Donnelly:
You're a wuss. [takes another drink]

Joey Ice Cream:
What were you gonna say? "Hi, I don't know whose phone this is"?

Jimmy Donnelly:
I know whose phone this is. It's Louis Downtown's.

Joey Ice Cream:
You think he dropped it when you had him tied up down here?

Jimmy Donnelly:
When who had who tied up down where?

Joey Ice Cream:
No idea.

Mrs. Donnelly:
Let's try this again. Go back out the door and make a right, two buildings out.

Nicky Cottero:
Two buildings out. Thank you. You're very nice.

Mrs. Donnelly:
Least I'm not lost.

Tommy Donnelly:
What the hell are you doing here?

Nicky Cottero:
Hi Tommy, nice to see you. Look at Seany up and around.

Tommy Donnelly:
What the hell are you doing here?

Nicky Cottero:
It's pay day. You got my money?

Tommy Donnelly:
I told you already. You're not gonna get any money.

Nicky Cottero:
See... That's what you don't know yet. I am gonna get my money... by midnight tonight. And you're the one that's gonna be giving it to me.

Tommy Donnelly:
Don't get near my mother or anyone of my family again, you understand me?

Nicky Cottero:
The way to avoid that... is to pay me my money.

Tommy Donnelly:
You come here again, I'll kill you.

Nicky Cottero:
You know where to find me, kid. Just bring a handful of cash.

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin, come here a minute.

Kevin Donnelly:
I'm eating my cereal.

Tommy Donnelly:
What, is it gonna get cold?

Kevin Donnelly:
No, soggy. I hate it when that happens.

Father Dufelt:
[approaching Jenny sitting in the pew] Okay you outlasted me, you won't come in I'll come to you.

Jenny Reilly:
Thanks Father, but I'm not here for confession.

Father Dufelt:
You've been on your knees forty five minutes, I know a sin when I see one.

Father Dufelt:
Undo your problems one at a time.

Jenny Reilly:
Are you telling me to get a divorce?

Father Dufelt:
The church still believes divorce is punishable by the flames of hell... I'd look into getting an annulment.

Jimmy Donnelly:
What's the B Thirty Two?

Kevin Donnelly:
The customer's code names, the one's that aren't going to be giving you any money.

Jimmy Donnelly:
How do you know it's a code name?

Kevin Donnelly:
Because I had a code name and I wouldn't be giving you any money by the way.

Jimmy Donnelly:
What was your code name?

Kevin Donnelly:
It's not important.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Kevin, I'm gonna beat you up if you don't tell me.

Kevin Donnelly:
L Twenty One.

Jimmy Donnelly:
What's the L for?

Jimmy Donnelly:
[hesitant] Lucky...

Kevin Donnelly:
Lucky. [Jimmy and Joey start laughing]

Jimmy Donnelly:
[on the phone] Your number for the week is two fifty. No, no, Louie's out of town. I'll be making the pick ups.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Good times last night, huh?

Jenny Reilly:
[dryly] Sure Jimmy. If that's what you call a good time.

Jimmy Donnelly:
No, I don't mean the part about Dokey holding us hostage in the basement almost chopping of our toes. That sucked. I mean last time I saw you. You know it's funny, I never would've known you were married. Does Samson know?

Jenny Reilly:
Just tell Tommy I was here, okay?

Jimmy Donnelly:
I'll be sure to tell Tommy. I mean Samson. I mean Tommy. [Jenny glares at him] I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Anyone can make a mistake, right?

Tommy Donnelly:
If I can't get that tuition money, Dokey, I'm gonna need to borrow twenty five hundred dollars.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
Tommy, tell me one person who would loan a kid like you that kind of money?

Tommy Donnelly:
I was hoping you would.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
I'm afraid you got your head up your ass. But I'll tell you what I will do. I'll offer you a job.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Tommy] You bring me that box and your problem with Nicky goes away.

Kevin Donnelly:
[about Nicky] Tommy, let's rob someone and give him his money or let's kill him!

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin... relax.

Kim:
Can you give Sean a message for me?

Kevin Donnelly:
Not if my mom doesn't want me to.

Mrs. Donnelly:
[to Kevin] Shut the door Kevin, before I hit you in the head with something.

Thug:
[to Jimmy] I'm not paying.

Mrs. Donnelly:
[to Sean] What you look like? Your face? I know that's who you think you are but it's not! It's what's inside your heart. That's what makes you a Donnelly. Your father would be ashamed of you if you thought anything else. Now I'm gonna put dinner on. And I'm not bringing it in here.

Joey Ice Cream:
[voiceover narration] See the thing about telling lies is if you're good at it people don't know they're being lied to. So then the question is... can you live with the lies you tell?

Joey Ice Cream:
[in voiceover narration] Being a thief made Tommy feel pretty bad.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Tommy] Twenty five hundred.

Joey Ice Cream:
[in voiceover narration] Getting robbed made him feel a lot worse.

Kevin Donnelly:
He's not coming out. He doesn't want anyone seeing him looking like a Cyclops.

Sean Donnelly:
I heard that!

Kevin Donnelly:
I was kidding, you look like half a Cyclops.

Kevin Donnelly:
[Helen gives a whole bowl of salad to Sean] What about me?

Mrs. Donnelly:
There's not enough for you. Have another piece of bread.

Kevin Donnelly:
That's not fair.

Mrs. Donnelly:
Should've thought about that when you let Tommy steal my casserole. Go out and eat. You haven't been out of my hair all day.

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't wanna go out.

Mrs. Donnelly:
Have some squash.

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't like squash. I don't even like saying it.

Tommy Donnelly:
[gesturing to the box in Nicky's hand] That pastry for your momma? Why don't you say hi for me. She lives upstairs right?

Tommy Donnelly:
[about Samson] You sleep with him?

Jenny Reilly:
Yeah.

Tommy Donnelly:
You coulda lied to me.

Tommy Donnelly:
Matthew's a good kid.

Kate Farrell:
I always feel bad because he's an only-child. Must be great having a lot of brothers.

Tommy Donnelly:
I don't know about great. But it's a lot of headache.

Matthew:
[to Tommy] I saw what you did. But I won't tell.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] Like I said, it all comes down to what you can live with.

Nicky Cottero:
[to his associate about Tommy] If you had to bet on him or Doaky who would you bet on?

[last lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[after the ending credits] Hey, I could keep going.

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Dokey] You want me to rob from your sister in law?

Tommy Donnelly:
[Huey has just told Tommy that Jimmy and Kevin kidnapped Louie Downtown] Hey, Kevin!

Kevin Donnelly:
Tommy, me and Jimmy went downtown with goodness in our hearts to work out a deal. But Louie starts threatening me, I mean, what was I supposed to do?

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin, everybody knows who did this. You kidnap somebody, they're not supposed to know who you are.

Kevin Donnelly:
Tommy you think we're stupid? We wore masks.

Tommy Donnelly:
You went down there with goodness in your hearts, but you wore masks?

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] The Irish have always been victims of negative stereotyping. I mean people think we're all drunks and brawlers. And sometimes that gets you so mad all you wanna do is get drunk and punch somebody.

Huey Farrell:
Jimmy's the only problem. He's a punk and a doper. He'll be more comfort to his mother dead than alive. Tommy's a smart boy. When Jimmy's gone, he'll be able to say he did what he could. As long as it's only Jimmy, cause anything other than that, it'll be me with the problem.

Kevin Donnelly:
Tommy, I love you but I'd rather fight you than Jimmy.

Detective Sunny:
Hey, you got any naked models at that art school? Cause I wanna visit.

Jenny Reilly:
You know Kevin tried to borrow four thousand dollars from me today?

Tommy Donnelly:
Oh, *four* thousand. No kiddin'.

[shot of Joey Ice Cream cozying up to Jenny]

[talking to the detective in a voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
Now, a couple years before, Jenny, she married a schoolteacher. Now, Teach forgets to mention that he robs drug dealers to pay for his student loans. He goes into hiding, somebody stuffs him in an oil drum. Nobody had the heart to tell Jenny. I mean, even me, and we were like an item.

Jenny Reilly:
Bug off, Joey.

Joey Ice Cream:
[to Tommy, who has walked up] Yeah, you got it. She's a great girl, isn't she?

Jenny Reilly:
[Tommy furrows his brow] Problems?

Tommy Donnelly:
Nah.

Jenny Reilly:
Liar.

Tommy Donnelly:
[Sean is in the Hospital] Thank you for coming.

Jenny Reilly:
Where's your mother?

Tommy Donnelly:
She's in the waiting room. We're just waiting to hear from the doctor.

Jenny Reilly:
I brought some food from the restaurant.

Tommy Donnelly:
Good. Maybe if we get some more we could open up a Deli.

Jenny Reilly:
You know, when I heard about Sean the person who told me thought it was you. I thought, what if he dies, and he never knows that I loved him? Dumb, huh? I mean I'm a married woman nothing's ever going to happen, I just couldn't stand the idea of you dying and not knowing.

Tommy Donnelly:
[Tommy walks outside to find Sean kissing the girl Tommy had just asked out] Hey! Hey Sean! What the hell are you doing?

Sean Donnelly:
Are you guys like seeing each other? 'Cause I didn't know.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[about Louie Downtown, who he and Kevin have just kidnapped] He's Sal Minetta's Nephew! So he's worth more right?

Tommy Donnelly:
Jimmy, we gotta give him back.

Jimmy Donnelly:
What we? You walked away. He's not your Italian, he's our Italian!

Joey Ice Cream:
[voiceover] Now the Donnelly brothers were always together. There was Kevin, Tommy, Jimmy, and little Sean. And Jenny Reilly was like sewn to their hip. Even back then she drove poor Tommy crazy.

Tommy Donnelly:
Is Joey Ice Cream bothering you?

Jenny Reilly:
No, no. He's just concerned that with my husband out of town I might not be getting enough, so he invited me to the bathroom for a couple minutes.

Tommy Donnelly:
Hey! Hey Joey get back here!

Detective Frankie Stein:
How's Jimmy?

Tommy Donnelly:
Jimmy's great.

Detective Frankie Stein:
Yeah?

Tommy Donnelly:
Why? What's up?

Detective Frankie Stein:
Well, somebody stole a truck this morning in the garment district. The detective who caught the case, he asked me about Jimmy.

Tommy Donnelly:
How could Jimmy steal a truck Frankie? He can't even drive.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[after getting into the truck he stole] Hey Tommy, you like this shirt?

Tommy Donnelly:
You ask me if I like that shirt?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Yeah, 'cause I got a couple thousand more in the back.

[first lines]

Detective at prison:
So, where are the bodies?

Joey Ice Cream:
Oh, man. These guys are my friends.

Detective at prison:
Here's the deal, Joey. You tell us where the bodies are, how they got there, and you stay in solitary, nice and safe. You lie, you go to general population where more people than I can count want to see you dead.

Detective Sunny:
[throws a book down on the table harshly] Where are the bodies?

Young Joey:
[after somebody stole his ice cream] Hey that's mine, I stole that!

Jimmy Donnelly:
Hey, no banging on the machines!

Joey Ice Cream:
What, it took my money!

Jimmy Donnelly:
It's supposed to take your money!

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Jimmy] If you're in that much pain, Jimmy, why don't you just jump off a roof?

Jimmy Donnelly:
[after Sean's beaten up] You know I gotta do this, right? You know that no matter what you say I gotta make this right. You ask me to say I won't, I'll just lie. [about Sean] I did that to him, Tommy. [starts crying] I did it again.

[last lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
And that's where he left the bodies; right where they lay. Now, what the Italians did with them, I mean I can't say.

Detective Sunny:
Those aren't the bodies we were asking about.

Joey Ice Cream:
Oh. [gets knocked out]

Tommy Donnelly:
[after leaving the bar and heading into the alleyway] What's this, the truck you didn't steal, Jimmy?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Tommy, lighten up!

Tommy Donnelly:
Get out of the truck. The cop's here.

Kevin Donnelly:
Come on, you know Jimmy can't drive!

Tommy Donnelly:
Neither can you! Get out of the truck!

Tommy Donnelly:
[noticing a police car has parked in front of the alleyway where the stolen truck is] Son of a b*tch! Get back in the truck!

Jimmy Donnelly:
Now I should get in the truck.

Tommy Donnelly:
Get back in the truck.

[Kevin, Tommy, Jimmy, and Sean are walking away after the deal to sell the stolen shirts went awry]

Kevin Donnelly:
So, anybody got any idea how to get four thousand dollars?

Sean Donnelly:
Ya hear what Bobby O and JJ McGrane did?

[pause]

Sean Donnelly:
They stole an Italian. Held him for ransom.

Tommy Donnelly:
Where's Bobby O and JJ right now?

Sean Donnelly:
I don't know. Attica, I think.

Tommy Donnelly:
Right. See ya later.

[walks away, disgusted]

[fighting against Tommy after he tackled him down into a pile of muck]

Louie:
You too, Tommy? What are you thinking? Listen to me, I'll talk to my uncle. Your brothers'll walk away with broken legs. And I'll throw in the five grand Kevin owes.

Tommy Donnelly:
Five grand? Five grand?

[punches Louie out]

[voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
I was the only one who saw him, the only one who knew that it was Tommy driving the car. And to this day, it's the one thing I never told anybody. I'm ashamed to be telling you now. Tommy never stole a car again, never did nothing, turned his whole life around. I mean, he could have made it out, only he was never going to let his brother be hurt again. And this was the day that changed Jimmy's life forever. 'Cause Jimmy went to rehab, and Tommy... Tommy became everything he never wanted. And whether he realized it or not, with Huey dead, Tommy had just taken over the neighborhood. And he was going to have to defend it.

[voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
See, all through history, people have accused the Black Irish of every crime that came along. They were supposed to have Gypsy blood, or Spanish or something, but my grandmother told me that before the Celts even showed up in Ireland, there was a race of dark-haired people who the Celts then proceeded to wipe out. But they could never get them all. A few of them ended up at the Firecracker Lounge.

[voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
Now, Jimmy knew a guy who would take the shirts for fifty cents apiece. There was only one complication. Apparently while we were in the bar, somebody stole the stolen shirts.

[voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
Okay, fast forward here. It's 1999, I'm flush, I'm feelin' good.

[in thought]

Joey Ice Cream:
Firecracker Lounge, please.

Detective at prison:
You were in juvie in '99.

Joey Ice Cream:
It's 2002, I am flush, I am feelin' good!

Detective at prison:
You get one more chance.

Joey Ice Cream:
It's 2005 and I just spent the night with a woman who wouldn't stop.

[voiceover narration]

Joey Ice Cream:
Sean was still the baby. Everybody loved Sean, especially women, which is why his brothers never let their girlfriends anywhere near him.

[Kevin is loosing badly at Blackjack to Louie]

Louie:
You owe me $900.

Kevin Donnelly:
Okay, once more through the deck

Louie:
No, I'm not playing no more.

Kevin Donnelly:
No, no, no. I am down 900. Damn right, you're going to playing.

Louie:
You're not going to pay me, so why should I play?

Kevin Donnelly:
Are you calling me a welcher?

Louie:
So this is a real game and you're going to pay me?

[pause]

Kevin Donnelly:
I'll pay you out of the ransom money.

Louie:
Fine, deal. Go ahead.

[arriving at Italian headquarters]

Nicky Cottero:
What kind of freakin' idiots live in this world? You don't kidnap a Louie Downtown. You ask, we give, no problem.

Vinnie Culiari:
[sighs] It's his nephew, Nicky. Do not make me laugh. You'll get me killed.

[pulling up to the curb to pinch Jimmy for the truck robbery]

Detective Frankie Stein:
Jimmy.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Hey, Francis.

Detective Frankie Stein:
How you doing tonight?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Good. How are you?

Detective Frankie Stein:
Oh, same old, same old.

[Detective Calero puts handcuffs on Jimmy]

Detective Frankie Stein:
Detective Calero, I want you to take note that the suspect is turning himself in voluntarily.

Detective Domenic Calero:
Yeah, I see that very clearly.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Not for nothing, but what am I turning myself in for?

Detective Frankie Stein:
Jimmy, you boost a truckload of shirts, you get seen. That's unlucky. You walk around all day wearing the evidence, I can't feel too sorry for you.

Jimmy Donnelly:
So, this is for the truck thing?

Detective Frankie Stein:
You got something else you want to confess to?

Jimmy Donnelly:
No, I'm good.

[narrating]

Joey Ice Cream:
Tommy could drive anything. Before he became Mother Teresa, he had a big time penchant for joyriding.

[narrating]

Joey Ice Cream:
Now, Kevin had always thought of himself as a gambler. He always believed he was lucky. The fact that he'd never won a bet in his life somehow never dissuaded him of this notion.

Tommy Donnelly:
Really, Kevin? $2,000? How could you lose $2,000 on jai alai? You don't even know what jai alai is, do you you? Why don't you show me? Show me how you play, Kevin.

[narrating]

Joey Ice Cream:
Tommy had a knack for two things: drawing and getting his brothers out of trouble. What he didn't seem to understand is that he'd never go anywhere with the first if he couldn't let go of the second.

[voiceover, repeated line]

Joey Ice Cream:
I always wanted brothers like that.

Joey Ice Cream:
The Irish have always been victims of negative stereotyping. I mean people think we're all drunks and brawlers. And sometimes that gets you so mad all you wanna do is get drunk and punch somebody.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Okay, you remember Jenny Riley right? She found something interesting, frozen hamburgers in the oven. Mr. Riley said he didn't do it. Strange.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Me, I've always believed honesty is best served cold.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] See, here's the problem. Always trying to help people? It'll kill you. I mean it's worse than a disease. Tommy Donnelly was just beginning to figure that out.

Eddie Maxwell:
You're working for Louie?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Yeah.

Eddie Maxwell:
Yeah, get outta here.

Jimmy Donnelly:
No, no, really. He didn't tell you?

Eddie Maxwell:
You're asking me to give you Louie's money? The money I bet with Louie?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Five grand. That's the figure, right?

Eddie Maxwell:
You're outta your mind.

Tommy Donnelly:
Where's Jimmy?

Joey Ice Cream:
I don't know.

Tommy Donnelly:
Do you want your ass kicked?

Joey Ice Cream:
He's in the basement with Kevin.

Tommy Donnelly:
Since when are you collecting bets for Louie Downtown?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Since I found his phone down here covered in his brains.

Tommy Donnelly:
What do you think the Italians are gonna do when they find out you're collecting Louie's bets? Money that's supposed to be going to them.

Jimmy Donnelly:
To hell with the Italians. [picks up a gun] This is for Eddie Maxwell.

Tommy Donnelly:
Jimmy? Jimmy, hey! You're gonna shoot Jimmy Maxwell for money he owes Louie Downtown.

Jimmy Donnelly:
It's my money! My money!

Tommy Donnelly:
Come on, Jimmy.

Jimmy Donnelly:
I'm building a business here, Tommy. I let Maxwell get away with that, don't you think the next guy isn't gonna try the same thing?

Tommy Donnelly:
Are you really gonna shoot a guy we know all our lives over a stinking five hundred dollars he doesn't really owe you.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[about Eddie Maxwell] Ten bets. Five hundred dollars a pop. Lost every bet. Guy makes Kevin look lucky.

Tommy Donnelly:
What do you gotta say that for?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Do you know anything about setting up books?

Joey Ice Cream:
About the same as Kevin, except I won a bet once.

Kevin Donnelly:
What do you want, a smack!

Joey Ice Cream:
I'm just saying.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Does anybody know anybody?

Kevin Donnelly:
This guy Whitey I used to bet with.

Joey Ice Cream:
Oh, Whitey's a sleazebag.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Worse than you?

Joey Ice Cream:
Yeah, maybe.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Whitey] Me and my three brothers are the only partners I'm ever gonna have.

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over narrating] Kevin introducing Jimmy to Whitey was gonna result in one of the most gruesome and violent deaths the neighborhood had ever seen. I mean what did Kevin know. He was only trying to help. Was Whitey gonna kill Jimmy or was Jimmy gonna kill Whitey?

Man Questioning Joey:
[voice over] So who killed who?

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over] When?

Man Questioning Joey:
[voice over] In the knife fight!

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over] Oh. That was later.

Tommy Donnelly:
You look good. [He kisses her on the cheek] I'm jealous.

Mary Ann Maxwell:
You had your shot.

Tommy Donnelly:
Don't remind me.

Tommy Donnelly:
You're not playing me again, are you?

Eddie Maxwell:
I wouldn't lie to you Tommy.

Jimmy Donnelly:
You want me to take twenty five hundred, on a five thousand dollar bet that Maxwell made?

Tommy Donnelly:
It wasn't even your bet to begin with, Jimmy. It's a good deal.

Jimmy Donnelly:
For you maybe, because you're the jerk who believes this guy.

Helen Donnelly:
Get your brother.

Kevin Donnelly:
[shouting] Yo, Seany! Dinner!

Helen Donnelly:
I could've done that.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] And even though Jenny had told Tommy she didn't need his help, when it came to Jenny, Tommy just didn't know how not to try.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] The thing about helping people is you can only take it so far and then you start hurting 'em.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[About the recovering gamblers story] Does this remind you of anybody?

Kevin Donnelly:
No.

Jimmy Donnelly:
He doesn't remind you of anybody?

Kevin Donnelly:
You're making a point right?

Jenny Reilly:
That's a lot of money.

Tommy Donnelly:
Yeah.

Jenny Reilly:
Where'd you get it?

Tommy Donnelly:
I already said in the bathroom.

Jenny Reilly:
Yeah, sure. I don't want your money.

Tommy Donnelly:
It's not my money.

Jenny Reilly:
What did you do? What did you do to get that money? Something terrible, right?

Tommy Donnelly:
If you don't want the money, Jenny, you can burn it.

[last lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[after closing credits] So guys anything else I can help you guys with? I'm here to serve.

Man Leaving Cell:
You got that right.

Joey Ice Cream:
Yeah.

[repeated line]

Kim:
It's Kim. Leave a message.

Tommy Donnelly:
Just know this: You didn't know my father. And you sure as hell don't know me.

Joey Ice Cream:
The thing about blood, family, it's always there. You can hate each other, you can wanna kill each other but you never stop loving each other. But love-love... damn, that's a whole other thing.

Joey Ice Cream:
The stupidest people in the world are rich people. They'll hand over twenty bucks and a brand new BMW to any idiot with a windbreaker and a tucked in shirt. In this case, the idiots were Kevin and Tommy.

Joey Ice Cream:
Jenny had heard the rumors that some drug dealers had killed Teach and stuffed him in an oil drum, but who wants to believe in a rumor?

Whitey:
It's three o'clock, man. We're supposed to be at my uncle's now. We're not there, Jimmy.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Kevin never showed up with the money?

Whitey:
No! I'm at the Firecracker by myself. You're not there, Kevin's not there, just that idiot with the small brush! He says you're out buying a jukebox.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[to Whitey] That means his gonna wanna kill us.

[last lines]

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Jenny] It's okay.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Everyone knows that Kevin Donnelly has never been lucky.

Detective McCarthy:
Tell us about Robert Kelly.

Joey Ice Cream:
Who?

Detective McCarthy:
Bob The Mouth.

Joey Ice Cream:
Never heard of him. But I gotta tell you, you gotta feel for a guy unlucky enough to get tagged with a name like that.

Detective McCarthy:
You wanna know what unlucky is? How a guy can fall off his chair like the one you're sittin' in and break his neck!

Joey Ice Cream:
You know, I suddenly remember the fellow you're talking about.

Joey Ice Cream:
Actually it's a lucky thing we stumbled into the extortion business because the book making business was about to hit a bump.

Detective McCarthy:
Stop right there. What does any of this have to do with Kelly?

Joey Ice Cream:
Bob the Mouth?

Detective McCarthy:
Yeah.

Joey Ice Cream:
Oh, well, all of that started with Kevin.

Detective McCarthy:
Kevin? Kevin Donnelly?

Joey Ice Cream:
Yes, Kevin Donnelly. Who are we talking about here? [gives the officer a funny look] .

Michael:
[talking to Tommy about the money Kevin owes him] You wanna know why I never went after him?

Tommy Donnelly:
Because then me and my brothers would go after you.

Michael:
I don't loan money to nobody I can't beat up.

Jimmy Donnelly:
[Jimmy and Joey begin to paint the Firecracker] What color is that?

Joey Ice Cream:
Green.

Whitey:
Jimmy?

Jimmy Donnelly:
We didn't want green, we want clover.

Whitey:
[talking to Jimmy about how Kevin screwed up.] I know he's your brother, but just for a second you should forget that and look at him for the whack job that he is.

Bob The Mouth:
How late are you going to be with my money?

Jimmy Donnelly:
[talking about Kevin failing to collect debts] I don't know what he did, or how he did it, but Kevin screwed up.

Tommy Donnelly:
There's a twist.

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over narration] An old Irish blessing says: Where ever you go, may the luck of Irish go with you. Father Dufelt hated old Irish sayings almost as much as he hated people asking him for favors.

Ray:
[to Alo] I hate golf, I rather play sports.

Alo:
[greets Nicky] Look at the mug on you. [to Ray] What you should've done was whack him in the back of the head.

Ray:
[to Nicky] How ya doing, shovel-head?

Alo:
I hope you learned a lesson.

Nicky Cottero:
Yeah, tempered steel to the back of the head usually does the trick.

Alo:
So here's what I need you to. Go make peace with the Irish, like I asked. Then get the money they owe me. You think you can do that?

Nicky Cottero:
I'll do whatever you need me to do. I don't know how to make this Dokey change his mind through.

Alo:
Just go talk to him. I got a feeling he'll be a little more approachable.

Nicky Cottero:
Alright.

Tommy Donnelly:
[Kevin hits a guy who owes them money] What do you have to hit him for, Kevin?

Kevin Donnelly:
That's what you do, Tommy. I don't know what to tell ya. What, do you think he's just gonna give us the money? [scoffs at Tommy] What universe do you live in? [kicks the guy again]

Tommy Donnelly:
Kevin!

Kevin Donnelly:
Tommy, what do you want from me!? [the guy hands over the money] See?

Jimmy Donnelly:
[about Joey's painting] Do the job right or don't do it at all.

Joey Ice Cream:
Can I not do it at all? Is that a real option?

Jimmy Donnelly:
Shut up!

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] Nobody ever understood why Kevin thought he was lucky. I mean, we all just thought he was crazy, but like most crazy things, there was a reason for it.

Tommy Donnelly:
[to Kevin] I don't know anything about horses, but I know. For a lucky guy, Kevin, you're the worst gambler in the world.

Kevin Donnelly:
[to the female gambler pleading with him not to take her money] Don't cry. That's not fair. We didn't make the bet. You did.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to his nephew, Matthew, explaining the battle between Napolean and the Duke of Wellington] Napoleon lost a whole empire in one battle because he didn't see a rainstorm coming. You always gotta look out for the thing that you don't know.

Nicky Cottero:
I made a mistake. I should've never talked about business the day you buried your brother. Alright, I was wrong. And if I insulted you, I apologize. I'm just here to make things right.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
Yeah, well whacking my guys didn't help too much, did it?

Bob The Mouth:
[Whitey is told to kill Jimmy but is reluctant to] If he doesn't have the money, while I have a reasoning with him, you stick something like this in his back.

Whitey:
Uncle Bob, can I say something?

Bob The Mouth:
No! Just do as I say or I'll kill you both.

Sean Donnelly:
Come on Kevin, have a little pride this is the family business here.

Kevin Donnelly:
Crime is the family business Shawn, this is just a staging area.

[first lines]

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating] You remember the Donnelly's right? Shaun, Kevin, Jimmy and Tommy? Well they got into some trouble a couple of days ago.

Joey Ice Cream:
It's not as bad as you think, I mean having people come after you. Where I come from it's normal. I mean guys will kill you for looking at 'em wrong. Course when this happens there's usually a fair amount of alcohol involved.

Joey Ice Cream:
[narrating voice over] There are a lot of guys in my neighborhood who would still be alive today if they'd just shut up and gone to bed the night before.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Jimmy] Jimmy Donnelly. Should've known I'd find you puking in an alleyway.

Kate Farrell:
[to Tommy] I want you to hold Huey's wake at your bar.

Tommy Donnelly:
We're hosting Jimmy's wake tonight.

Kevin Donnelly:
What?

Tommy Donnelly:
Kate Farrell came by this morning. She wants the wake to be here.

Kevin Donnelly:
[to Tommy] Can I remind you that we killed her husband?

Kevin Donnelly:
Why do you need a gun, Jimmy?

Jimmy Donnelly:
'Cause I got to kill Dokey, thanks to my idiot brother, he thinks I killed Huey.

Tommy Donnelly:
And we're going to get through this day together. Ain't, nobody's going to be suspicious unless we act suspicious.

Jimmy Donnelly:
Did you go to school to get that stupid?

Joey Ice Cream:
This is crazy. Do we have credit? Do we have money? Do we even have a way to transport the alcohol if it were to fall from the sky?

Kevin Donnelly:
Remember when we were kids and had a contest to see who could shut up the longest?

Kevin Donnelly:
No. Who won?

Kevin Donnelly:
[Kevin is trying to carjack a taxi] Get the hell out.

Man in cab:
Why?

Kevin Donnelly:
Why don't I shoot you then explain it?

Man in cab:
Who shoots somebody with a gun in their pocket? You're stealing my cab? I know who you are. You're a Donnelly.

Kevin Donnelly:
Yeah! Then you know that me and my brothers will beat you to a pulp if you report this. Six o'clock cab will be on this corner.

Joanie:
Get the hell outta here, Jimmy!

Jimmy Donnelly:
Listen, I'm here. I'm here, cause I'm crazy about you, baby.

Joanie:
Yeah. Why tell me that, Jimmy?

Jimmy Donnelly:
If I was such a bad guy... would I bring you this? [shows her some drugs]

Joanie:
Give it! Give it! [she snatches the drugs out of his hands]

Jenny Reilly:
You're throwing Huey's wake?

Tommy Donnelly:
Yeah.

Jenny Reilly:
Please tell me you know how wrong that is.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
What happened to the paying your respects part of this?

Nicky Cottero:
I just said a silent prayer.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Nicky] Let me stop you right there, okay? This is my brother right here. I always told him the biggest mistake he ever made was working with you Italians. But he didn't listen to me, and that's why he's in here. Can I show you out?

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Matthew] I know you're young, buddy. But you're still the man. So I don't wanna see you crying in here, okay? I don't have a son of my own, Matt. So I'm looking to you to make me proud. I want you to walk in there, standing tall with your head held high. It's the way you're daddy would've wanted it. And you're a Farrell! And Farrell's don't wear their hearts on their sleeves. Alright? Do you know what that means? Means you don't go showing the world how you feel. Keep it locked up real tight, right in here, okay? That way people can't take the good pieces away from you.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
I know that my brother came to talk to you in the hospital. I know that he sent his driver home. And he called a cab. And then he went straight to Sal's, alone. And he wouldn't do that, Tommy. So that tells me you know why.

Tommy Donnelly:
I wish I did. I wish I could help you.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
I don't believe you.

Kevin Donnelly:
I always wanted to drive a cab.

Joey Ice Cream:
Are you nuts? Twenty hours in a confined space being told what to do by the kind of people who can't even afford cars?

Kevin Donnelly:
[Kevin and Joey sneak into a restaurant and find some Kosher wine] Crap! All we got here is Jew wine. We allowed to drink this stuff?

Joey Ice Cream:
Who wouldn't allow you, Kevin?

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't know. It's unholy or something.

Joey Ice Cream:
It's fine!

Kevin Donnelly:
I mean it's alcohol too, right?

Joey Ice Cream:
Yeah, only it's Rabbi approved alcohol.

Huey Farrell:
[to young Tommy Donnelly, in a flashback] You know what else men do? They take care of their mom and their brothers, no matter what.

Joey Ice Cream:
[in voiceover narration] How was Huey to know that one day that little bit of advise would be that thing that got him killed?

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
As God is my witness. I will make this right.

Nicky Cottero:
[watching Jimmy urinate on a tombstone] I'm going to cut it off!

Alo:
Yeah, real smart, Nicky. Make sure the Feds get a nice shot of you doing it too.

Tommy Donnelly:
[about why the liquor clerk is going to give them the alcohol] Your daughter has a crush on Kevin and if you don't do it, he's going to date her.

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over narration] There are a couple of things you need to know about the Irish. I forget the first. But the second thing is this: they don't believe that death is the end, they think it's about resurrection. And what is more life affirming than sex.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Tommy] I know you killed Huey. I don't know how you did it, but I know you did.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
You pull guns on me... You are dead!

Jimmy Donnelly:
[smiling] And you acted so friendly.

Derek 'Dokey' Farrell:
[to Tommy] You ever point a gun at me again and I will hack you in half. While you're screaming, you got it?

Joey Ice Cream:
[voice over narration] And this is the way life works sometimes. If they hadn't killed Louis Downtown they woulda been dead right then and there.

Joey Ice Cream:
I thought you said you waited here?

Kevin Donnelly:
No I applied. The bastards wouldn't hire me because of my shadey employment history.

[last lines]

Tommy Donnelly:
[as he watches Jenny leaving with Sampson at Huey's wake] I think if you can remember what a person meant to you and hold onto that feeling... I think you can survive a time like this.

Young Tommy:
How did you get naked photos of her?

Kevin Donnelly:
I don't care if that guy's in a wheelchair, I'm breaking his legs!
