TONY
Sometimes I still wonder what a gal like you is doing in a place like this.
BUCKY
I guess sometimes we both wonder that, Daddy
TONY
I could make a little time for you, if you're not still hanging around with that no good, two-bit, shifty-eyed so-and-so who wouldn't know a tune if a bird spat in his mouth. Keep that pretty little head of yours from thinking too much.
BUCKY
I don't like thinking too much
TONY
What's got you all worked up?
BUCKY
I'm not worked up, I swear
Just maybe all this stuff with they mayor
you know, I'm just - I worry
TONY
You got nothing to worry about, doll.
Guy like that never did nothing for nobody. No one misses an empty suit in a pair of cement shoes. Hypothetically speaking.
BUCKY
I ain't worried about the mayor
I'm worried about Elim
TONY
Is that all?
You got nothing to worry about. I'm sure he'll be taken care of.
BUCKY
I don’t like how you say that
TONY
I'm only saying, rats tend to end up in traps
BUCKY
he ain’t a rat
TONY
You think I don't know a rat when I see one?
BUCKY
Sometimes I think you don't know your own ass when you see it
TONY
Well.
I see a lot more rats than I do of my own ass
BUCKY
Yeah yeah
TONY
You don't need to get your blood up over some stoolie torch singer. People get what's coming to them. Nothing more, nothing less.
BUCKY
you know it ain’t that simple
you know you talk like that an someone is gonna come for you
TONY
People are always comin for me, kid
BUCKY
you ain’t always gonna have luck on your side
TONY
I got you. Isn't that luck enough?
BUCKY
you talk me up
TONY
what else
BUCKY
what else do you want?
TONY
I want you to quit getting all worked up over some nobody
BUCKY
he's my friend
TONY
you'll have other friends
BUCKY
i get that you don't understand how friendship works
seeing as all you got is people you pay to be around
TONY
Careful
BUCKY
I don't wanna be careful
TONY
Well come over, we can be real not careful
BUCKY
your paperboy ain't there is he? Cause I'm not interested in that
