The Irishman2019
Frank Sheeran:
Tony told the old man, to tell me, to tell you, "It's what it is."
Jimmy Hoffa:
[pause] What it is?
Frank Sheeran:
It's what it is.
[pause]
Frank Sheeran:
Please, listen to me.
Jimmy Hoffa:
[pause] They wouldn't dare!
Frank Sheeran:
Don't - don't say that.
Jimmy Hoffa:
They wouldn't dare!
Frank Sheeran:
Jimmy don't....
Jimmy Hoffa:
Please, Frank, come on.
Frank Sheeran:
Don't say they wouldn't dare.
Jimmy Hoffa:
No, don't - don't tell me they can. That's fairytales, please.
Frank Sheeran:
Don't say they wouldn't dare. Please.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Something funny happens to me, they're done. You understand that? And they know it. Because I got files. I got proof. I got records. I got tapes. Anytime I want, they'll be gone. These guinea motherfuckers spend the rest of their lives in jail, and they know it. They know it.
Frank Sheeran:
But what you're saying is what they're concerned about.
Jimmy Hoffa:
What I'm saying is I know things. I know things they don't know I know. Please...
Frank Sheeran:
Do you wanna take that chance?
Jimmy Hoffa:
What chance am I on?
Frank Sheeran:
Jim...
Jimmy Hoffa:
Why should I be taking a chance?
Frank Sheeran:
They're saying this is it.
Jimmy Hoffa:
They're saying this is it, and then it's it?
Frank Sheeran:
Yeah.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Bullshit. Bullshit, Frank.
Frank Sheeran:
Jimmy, I'm trying to tell you something.
Jimmy Hoffa:
I know you are. You're telling me that they're threatening me, and I gotta do what they say, which is absolute...
Frank Sheeran:
It's more than a threat. It's the bottom line.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Bottom line?
Frank Sheeran:
It's what it is.
Jimmy Hoffa:
They do something to me, I do something to them. That's all I know. I don't know anything else. Do you?
Frank Sheeran:
[short pause] So what am I gonna do? What am I gonna tell McGee? That you're not gonna listen? He ain't used to people not listening to him.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Well, neither am I.
Frank Sheeran:
What?
Jimmy Hoffa:
Neither am I.
Frank Sheeran:
Then I don't know what to do. I mean, maybe you should get some bodies around you for protection.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Oh, come on, please. I'm not gonna go that route. [laughs] Don't do this to me, Frank. What do you mean bodies around me? You put bodies around you then they go after your family. It doesn't matter. You worried?
Frank Sheeran:
I'm worried.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Get some bodies around you. I'll tell you why. This could happen to you. They could come after you, since you're with me. No?
Frank Sheeran:
[short pause] I'm worried.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Tell Russ I got nothing but respect for him. I got a little trouble with him. We were talking before, I just got a little crazy. You know how I am. I just blow, sometimes.
Frank Sheeran:
Yeah.
Jimmy Hoffa:
I just walked away like that. But I get that way. I get abrupt. Maybe you could just tell him how much I respect him. I have nothing but respect for this guy. I would never hurt him, no matter what I do with files, or whatever I do with anything.
Frank Sheeran:
No, but you should tell him, yourself.
Jimmy Hoffa:
No, I'm not gonna tell him myself.
Frank Sheeran:
Please.
Jimmy Hoffa:
Oh, come on.
Frank Sheeran:
It'll go a long way.
Jimmy Hoffa:
He's your rabbi. Because of him, you're here. You tell him. Listen to me. At the end, there's only one thing that's real. This is my union. This is my union, Frank. Very simple when you say it that way.
