:55:03
What do you need a business repre--
You-- You--
:55:05
All you need is a mattress
and a couple of garter belts.
You're not a conglomerate.
:55:08
Lenny, he said he
was going to cut me up...
:55:11
because I told him I didn't
want to work anymore.
:55:13
Well, I think it's a great
idea that you want to phase out.
:55:17
- He has no qualms about killing me.
- Ohh.
:55:19
Listen, we'll call the police.
That's not a big deal.
:55:21
How can I call the police
with my setup?
:55:24
You know, I told you
a thousand times...
:55:27
you're in a hazardous business.
:55:29
So that's what happens.
Now, so-- Don't go outside.
:55:31
I'm not going outside. I thought,
just maybe, if you could talk to him.
:55:34
- Me? What, are you nuts?
- Yeah, because--
:55:37
Because you're smart and bright
and you got a way with words.
:55:40
I can't talk to him.
I don't even know the guy.
:55:42
Yeah, well, he knows it was your idea
that I get out of the business.
:55:45
So he said he's gonna
kill you too.
:55:47
- He said he was gonna kill me?
- Yeah, 'cause it was your idea.
:55:50
He's gonna cut up my face
and put a bullet between your eyes.
:55:54
Really? Did he--
Did he specify the caliber?
:55:57
Listen, I just thought maybe
you could just reason with him.
:56:01
No, I can't.
I-- Listen, I never told you this,
:56:04
but I got a-- a slight
heart murmur...
:56:07
and right now
it's murmuring "hide."
:56:09
- I don't believe you're a coward.
:56:11
Only in actuality.
Um, this is not for me.
:56:14
- Lenny, I need your help.
- No, I'm not a violence person.
:56:17
I-I write about hockey and boxing
and football. This is not my world.
:56:21
Lenny, I do want to quit like you said,
but he said he's not gonna let me!
:56:24
- He's gonna hurt us both. Please!
- Relax, relax.
:56:27
What do you want me to do?
How am I gonna talk to him?
:56:30
- Well, okay. You just--
- I--
:56:32
You just talk because you're smarter
than he is and stronger than he is.
:56:35
You're a much better man. So just
remember that when you talk to him.
:56:38
He's a little bit intimidating.
He's got a bald head and an earring.
:56:42
- But you'll win. I know you will.
- Jesus, I-- I--
:56:45
You're a good man, Lenny.
You'll win.
:56:47
Look, in case anything
comes up,
:56:49
I want you to know that I-l'm
type O-positive, okay?
:56:53
Derek, I got the feeling you
came here and obviously moved...
:56:56
into this whole Knick persona.
:56:58
- Did you get caught up, maybe,
with a little bit of this Knick,
- Excuse me.
