Henry Desalvo

We have a die-hard situation developing in the kitchen.

What's happening?

Henry Desalvo

Well, either he's going to whack 'em with a rolling pin or bake him a cake. I don't know. Could go either way with this crew.

Bruce

I hope you realize you've just committed assault.

Henry Desalvo

I know, I know. Time was, you actually had to hit somebody.

Henry Desalvo
[Henry and Leonard are stuck in the middle of a big traffic jam, just right before the Airport Road]

We're gonna miss our flight.

You see what the problem is?

Henry Desalvo

I don't know. There's some kind of commotion up there. There might be something about it on the radio.

Henry Desalvo
[He turns on the radio - only to find the two same people arguing on the same phone-in show before turning off the radio in annoyance. After a moment in silence, a goat walks past the car; the two men pause for a moment in stunned silence] [Disbelieving]

Was that a goat?

Let's get the hell outta here.

Look at this thing. He's the size of a Buick.

Henry Desalvo

She.

She what?

Henry Desalvo

The mosquito is a she.

How the hell can you tell that?

Henry Desalvo

Discovery Channel. Only the female mosquito sucks your blood.

Sounds like my ex-wife. "Bitch."

Henry Desalvo
[back at his table]

You go tell your employer it's gonna cost him another 10 G's apiece.

His Boss

Okay. But we want this finished as soon as possible.

Henry Desalvo

Well, believe me, we don't want to spend anymore time in this garden spot than we have to.

Got that right.

Henry Desalvo

There was another shooter.

Voice on Payphone

What do you mean?

Henry Desalvo

What do I mean? What do you mean "what do I mean". I mean there was another shooter is what I mean.

Henry Desalvo
[a bunch of mean looking gangstas approach him.]

Ah, hang on.

Henry Desalvo
[Henry pretends to drop an item only to reach for his ankle holstered gun.] [While aiming at the gangstas]

Not right now, okay.

Gang Leader

It's cool, bro.

Henry Desalvo
[While approaching the annoying cigar smokers.]

Excuse me would you mind putting out your cigars?

Bruce

Come again.

Henry Desalvo

I said would you mind putting out your cigars, please?

Bruce

Actually I would mind.

Henry Desalvo

Well you see the reason I asked is because I got a thick New York strip over there and it tastes like I'm eating a cigar.

Bruce

Well first of all Ace: You're eating a steak in a seafood restaraunt. And secondly there is no law that says we can't smoke.

Henry Desalvo

Well first of all: My name is not Ace and second of all: I am not asking you as a courtesy, it's just good manners. Now there is no law that says I can't come over here and fart on your entree, but I don't. Why? Because it isn't good manners. Now I will ask you again in the nicest way to please put out your cigars.

Henry Desalvo
[Bruce blows smoke in henry's face and laughs with his friends. Henry snaps Bruce's fingers and puts out his cigar and everyone does the same.]

Thank you.

Bruce

I hope you realize you just committed assault.

Henry Desalvo

I know, I know. I remember time was you actually had to hit somebody.
