A scene from Raging Bull 1980
Jake

I heard some things...Did Salvy **** Vickie?

Joey

What?

Jake

Did Salvy **** Vickie?

Joey

Now Jack, don't start your shit...

Jake

Joey I asked ya, didn't I ask ya to keep an eye on her?

Joey

And I did keep an eye on her, yes I did.

Jake

How come you give him a beatin'?

Joey

I told you that. I told you what that was all about. That it had nothin' to do with you. He, he thinks he's a wise guy now.

Jake

Joey, don't lie to me.

Joey

I'm not lying.

Jake

What do I look like to you, huh?

Joey

Hey, I'm your brother. You're supposed to believe me. Don't you trust me?

Jake

No I don't.

Joey

Oh you don't? That's nice.

Jake

I don't trust you when it comes to her. I don't trust nobody. Now tell me what happened.

Joey

I told you exactly what happened. He got out of line, I slapped him around. Tommy straightened it all out, and it's all over.

Jake

Don't you give me that look, Joey. I gotta accept your answer, you know. But I'm tellin' you now, if I hear anything, I swear on mother, I'm gonna kill somebody. I'm gonna kill somebody Joey.

Joey

Well, go ahead and kill everybody. You're the tough guy. Go kill people. Kill Vickie. Kill Salvy. Kill Tommy Como. Kill me while you're at it, what do I care? You're killin' yourself the way you eat. You're a fat ****. Look at ya.

Jake

What d'ya mean? I don't understand. What d'ya mean, kill you? You?

Joey

Me. Kill me. Start here. Kill me first. Do me a ****in' favor, 'cause you're drivin' me crazy...

Jake

Excuse me, what d'ya mean by 'you,' though?

Joey

So? What does that mean? It don't mean nothin'.

Jake

You don't even know what you meant by 'you.'

Joey

Don't mean nothin'.

Jake

Joey, that meant somethin'. You mentioned Tommy, you mentioned Salvy, you mentioned you. You included 'you' with them. You could have said anybody but you said 'you' and them.

Joey

You really let this girl ruin your life. Look at ya. She really did some job on ya. You know how ****in' nuts you are? Look what she did to you.

Jake

You **** my wife?

Joey

What?!

Jake

You **** my wife?

Joey

How could you ask me a question like that? How could you ask me? I'm your brother. You ask me that? Where do you get your balls big enough to ask me that?

Jake

Just tell me.

Joey

I'm not answerin' ya. I'm not gonna answer that. It's stupid.

Jake

You're very smart Joey. You give me all these answers, but you ain't givin' me the right answer. I'm askin' ya again. Did you or did you not?

Joey

I'm not gonna answer. That's a sick question, you're a sick ****, and I'm not that sick that I'm gonna answer it. I'm not tellin' ya anything. I'm going to leave. If Lenore calls, tell her I went home. I'm not stayin' in this nuthouse with ya. You're a sick bastard. I feel sorry for you, I really do. You know what you should do - try a little more ****in' and a little less eatin'. You won't have troubles upstairs in your bedroom and you won't take it out on me and everybody else. Do you understand, you ****in' wacko? You're crackin' up! ****in' screwball, ya.
