Bookie

I'm in the hole, I pay him two grand a week! No profit, I pay him two grand a week!

Mr. French

Then make more **** money. This is America: You don't make money, you're a ****in' douche bag! Now, what're you gonna do?

Bookie

Make more money!

Mr. French

That's the spirit!

Mr. French

Do you know me?

No... No.

Mr. French

Well, I'm the guy who tells you there's guys you can hit and guys you can't. Now, that's not quite a guy you can't hit, but he's almost a guy you can't hit. So I'm gonna make a ****in' ruling on this right now: you don't **** hit him. You understand?

Yeah, excellent. Fine, fine. Fine.

Mr. French

I **** know you. I know your family. You make one more drug deal with that idiot, **** cop-magnet of a cousin and I'll forget your grandmother was so nice to me. I'll cut your **** nuts off. You understand that?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Mr. French

What are you drinking?

Cranberry juice.

Mr. French

What is it, your period? Get him a cranberry juice.

Mr. French

Hey, **** head, that's Jackie's nephew.

Man Glassed in Bar

Oh--

Mr. French

What? "Oh", **** what? [punches out the man at the bar]

[about Costigan]

Do you trust him?

Mr. French

Well these days, who's reliable?

His uncle Jackie was. Yeah, you can't trust a guy acts like he's got nothing to lose.

Mr. French

I'm reliable.

Arnold, you're one in a million.

Mr. French

Ten. Ten million.

What about your wife, Arnold?

Mr. French

Well, I thought she was.

[laughing]

She wasn't!

Mr. French

Well, she got reliable.
[flashback showing French strangling his wife]

I'm going to have my associate search you.

No, no one's **** searching me. Searching me for what?

Contra-****-band. Take your shoes off.

Mr. French
[French slams Costigan into a chair]

Shoes.

[to Costigan] I knew your father.

Yeah? You know he's dead?

Oh, sorry. How'd he go?

He didn't complain.

Yeah, that was his problem.

Who said he had a problem?

I just said he had a **** problem. There's a man who could have been anything.

Are you trying to say he was nothing?

[French slams Costigan onto a pool table and continues his search]

I'm saying he worked at the airport. Arm.

Mr. French
[French directs Costigan to a pool table, making him hold out his casted arm]

Show me your arm. Flip it. mm-hmmm, mm-hmmm.

[French slams Costigan's arm on the table until the cast breaks, while Costigan screams in pain]

It makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood. And if I can slander my own environment, it makes me sad. This, uh, regression. Plus, I don't know if it's beyond some **** cop prick like Queenan to pull you out of the Staties and send you gift-wrapped to me. I just can't know. I wonder what they do in that particular department, anyway.

[Costello slams on Costigan's broken arm with Costigan's boot] [yelling]

Are you still a cop?

[in severe pain]

No!

[Costello whacks his arm again] [yelling]

Swear on your mother's grave you're still not a cop?!

I'm not a **** cop!

[Costello whacks his arm again, this time re-breaking it] [yelling]

Are you going to stop doing coke deals with your jerk-off **** cousin?!

Yes, yes, yes!!

Alright, alright. You're okay, you'll be alright. Get your hand taken care of.

[Costello throws down some money]

I'm sorry, but it was necessary. As for our problem with Providence - let's not cry over some spilled guineas.

Fitzy
[Upon learning the Police have found Delahunt's body and that he was a cop]

I don't believe it.

Mr. French

What can't you believe?

Fitzy

I spent all **** night dragging the poor bastard in there. Tell me how they find him so fast? Somebody walking a **** dog ? What **** size a dog is that? Has to be a big **** dog, man. I spent all night doing it man.

Fitzy
[pause, Frank stares at him]

I'm embarrassed. I still don't believe he was a cop, I don't believe it.

The COPS... are saying he's a cop... so I won't look for the cop. Are you soft, Fitz? When I tell you to dump a body in the marsh, you dump him in the marsh. Not where some guy from John Hancock goes every Thursday to get a **** blow job!

[Fitzy laughs, Frank hits him]

Don't laugh! This ain't Reality TV!

Jeez. She fell funny.

Mr. French
[chuckles at the dead bodies]

Francis, you really should see somebody.
