:50:00
No acting there, right?
:50:02
And the fink part...
:50:04
I never met a fink
and I hope I never do,
:50:07
but the way you played a fink,
that's how it's gotta be.
:50:09
Yeah.
:50:11
Two weeks before shooting,
:50:13
I went to Bensonhurst
to hear you guys talk.
:50:16
I'm Italian, but grew up in Tazana.
:50:19
I wanted to get the rhythms
of your speech.
:50:23
We speak differently?
:50:24
It was more your attitude, your tone.
:50:27
Your speech patterns demonstrate
confidence in your opinions,
:50:32
your indifference
to conventional views.
:50:35
Like we don't give a shit?
:50:36
Yeah, kinda. Yeah.
:50:38
Once I get the authentic sounds
of speech, the patois, you know,
:50:45
I can actually think the way
those guys do. Get inside.
:50:49
- Really?
- Yeah.
:50:51
Well, I'm one of those guys.
What am I thinking?
:50:54
Well, don't get me wrong,
:50:57
a metamorphosis doesn't take place,
that wouldn't be acting.
:51:00
- So you don't know what I'm thinking?
- No, but I have to say I'm curious.
:51:04
So you want to know?
:51:06
- If you want to tell me.
- I'm thinking about a movie.
:51:09
One of mine?
:51:11
No. One we're producing.
:51:12
With what? Wise guy money?
:51:17
Maybe this wasn't a good idea.
:51:19
I'm not connected to that any more
since I left that loan sharking operation.
:51:24
The pressure got too much for you?
:51:26
I'm the one who applied the pressure.
:51:28
Oh, yeah?
:51:30
Can I ask you a question?
:51:32
Yeah.
:51:33
Actors like to pretend, right?
:51:34
We've been known to make-believe.
:51:37
Pretend this. You're a shylock.
A guy owes you 1 5 grand.
:51:42
He skips town, he takes off.
What do you do?
:51:57
Oh, Martin, for Christ's sake...
