Don Shirley:
Before we pull out, Tony, we need to have a talk.

Tony Lip:
Yeah?

Don Shirley:
Oleg told me what you did.

Tony Lip:
What'd I do?

Don Shirley:
You stole a jade stone from the store.

Tony Lip:
No I didn't.

Don Shirley:
He watched you do it.

Tony Lip:
I didn't steal no stone.

Don Shirley:
You picked it up and put it in your pocket.

Tony Lip:
I picked up a rock off of the ground. I didn't steal it from a box.

Don Shirley:
Now why would you pick up a rock off the ground?

Tony Lip:
I don't know. Cause it ain't stealing. It's just a regular rock.

Don Shirley:
And why would you want a regular rock?

Tony Lip:
To have. For luck, maybe.

Don Shirley:
A lucky rock.

Tony Lip:
Yeah.

Don Shirley:
Let me see it. [Don holds out his hand; reluctantly Tony hands him the rock] Mm-hmm. Take it back and pay for it.

Tony Lip:
[swears in Italian] I told you that Kraut was a snake. Rats me out for something I didn't even do!

Don Shirley:
Pay for the stone, Tony; you'll feel better.

Tony Lip:
I feel fine! And I ain't paying for no regular rock I found in the dirt. [starts to drive]

Don Shirley:
Do not drive, Mr. Vallelonga. [Tony stops] Put it back.

[after a brief pause, Tony reluctantly goes to the box, puts the stone back, and goes back to the car]

Don Shirley:
Feel better?

Tony Lip:
No.

Don Shirley:
If you like, Tony, I'd happily buy you the stone.

Tony Lip:
Don't bother. You took all the fun out of it.
