4 quotes Tony Tony It's been a long time, L?on. I missed you. And, uh, you missed some nice jobs.
Tony Training's good. But don't overdo it. You know, training don't pay as good as working.
Tony Now take this money and get the hell outta here, and don't let me see your face till next month. 'Cause somethin' tells me I'm about to lose my famous kind streak.
Scenes with Tony
5 scenes Tony Now, you know Marizio's a reasonable guy. He just wants a little conversation. But this guy, he don't wanna hear about it. Maybe he'll listen to you. He comes to town every Tuesday. Are you free Tuesday?
L?on
Yeah, I'm free Tuesday.
Tony You know, when you told me to get this baby out for you, I thought my hearing was going. I says to myself, "L?on's a pro. Nobody uses that except beginners."
L?on
I like to stay in shape.
Tony Sure. Always stay on top of it. It's like me. I always gotta know where everything is all the time. That's why I never leave this place except to go from here to there. Change ain't good, L?on -- you know?
L?on
Yeah.
Tony Check it. Make sure it's the right thing.
L?on
I trust you.
Tony The one thing's got nothin' to do with the other. Remember that, L?on.
L?on
I will.
L?on
Tony, all the money I make that you keep for me --
Tony You need some money?
L?on
Just curious. 'Cause I've been working for a long time and I haven't done anything with my money.
Tony You met a woman.
L?on
No.
Tony L?on... L?on, you gotta be careful with women. Remember when you first arrived in this country? When I took you in you were still wet behind the ****in' ears, and already you were in deep shit because of a woman. Don't forget that, L?on.
L?on
I wish I could sometimes. You know, about my money -- maybe I could give a little to someone, you know, to help out.
Tony Hey, it's your money. I mean, I'm just holding it for you, like a bank. Except better than a bank, 'cause you know banks always get knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony.
L?on
I was thinking. If something happens to me someday --
Tony Hey, L?on, nothing's gonna happen to you. You're indestructible! Bullets slide off you, you play with 'em.
L?on
Tony, I... I thought about my money. You remember the, the girl who came here the other day?
Tony Yeah.
L?on
Her name is Mathilda. If anything happens to me I'd, I'd like you... to give her my money.
Tony You can count on me, L?on.
Tony In the meantime, all you gotta do is come here every once in a while and I'll dish it out so's you can have a little fun. Okay? Here's a hundred bucks to start with.
Can't I get a job instead?
Tony A job? What the hell can you do?
I can "clean".
Tony I ain't got no work for a twelve-year-old kid, so get it out of your goddamn head! It's OVER! The game's OVER! L?on's DEAD!
Tony (Mathilda breaks down in tears.) (softly)
Come on. You think I ain't hurtin' too? But he's dead. And you're gonna forget all this craziness and get your little ass back to school. Capisce?
