Cop at Newsstand:
How's the club doin' these days?
John J.:
Real good although I-I-I'm gettin' a little too much lately.
Cop at Newsstand:
[Sheepishly]
You know, I'd come by although I don't think Frankie likes me around that much.
John J.:
[Reassuringly]
Why not come on in? Frankie's all right once you get to know him.
Cop at Newsstand:
Yeah?
John J.:
Yeah.
Cop at Newsstand:
Still dancin'?
John J.:
Some. Not like I used to but some. Yeah.
Cop at Newsstand:
You look a little more tired than I remember, John... a little worn out... all those late hours you're keeping...
John J.:
[Annoyed about the remark]
Ah, whatever.
Cop at Newsstand:
I couldn't keep those kind of hours myself. I gotta hand it to you.
John J.:
[Slightly short]
It all depends on what you're used to. Okay?
[He continues talking as he is walking away]
John J.:
Well, come out to the club anytime. Frankie's not a bad guy.
[Dismissively]
John J.:
Say hello to your partner whatever his name is. See yuh around.
[after taking a few more steps, he stops and comes back, clearly upset over something]
John J.:
Hey, wait a minute! Hold on, hold on, hold on! Hey, com'ere.
[Confrontationally]
John J.:
I want to make sure we understand each other. Did you say something about my face?
[He laughs edgily]
Cop at Newsstand:
[Not comprehending]
Whatta mean - your face? Whatta mean?
John J.:
[Agressively]
Just because you're a fuckin' cop, where do you get the right to tell me I got wrinkles on my face?
Cop at Newsstand:
[In an apologetic manner]
All I said was you look a little tired, John... a little worn out. I didn't say anything about wrinkles.
[Shakes his head in the negative]
John J.:
You didn't?
Cop at Newsstand:
No.
John J.:
Well, whether you meant exactly that or not, I don't know, but that's pretty much whay you meant. Wouldn't you say that?
Cop at Newsstand:
[Still apologetically]
If you misinterpreted what I said, I'm sorry.
John J.:
[Indignantly]
No, no, no! In the future if there is a future, it would behoove you to keep your opinions to yourself about my face or anything else about me - all right?
Cop at Newsstand:
Com'n, John, whatta yuh talkin' about? Com'n.
John J.:
[Almost threateningly]
OK, enough of your shit! Keep your remarks to yourself - understand? OK?
Cop at Newsstand:
[With a little more confidence]
Listen, you ot a problem.
John J.:
I wouldn't want that problem to become yours, so remember what I said, and keep your opinions to yourself!
[as he walks past three men loitering and talking he gstures toward them]
John J.:
You should clean the streets up!
[shouting as he continues to walk]
John J.:
Hey, guys, once a cop, always a FUCKIN' cop!
[as he goes up the stairs]
John J.:
Hey, hey, hey!
