At 8:25 pm, two men
walked through the doors.

:57:24
The bartender knew their faces,
:57:26
as most of the neighbourhood
knew their names.

:57:28
They were two of the founding
members of the West Side Boys.

:57:31
They were also its deadliest.
:57:34
The blond man had been in and
out of jail since he was a kid.

:57:37
He robbed and killed
at will or on command.

:57:40
He's presently a suspect
in four unsolved homicides.

:57:43
He was an alcoholic
and a cocaine abuser

:57:45
with a fast temper
and a faster trigger.

:57:47
He once shot a mechanic dead
:57:49
for moving ahead of him
in a movie line.

:57:51
The dark-haired man
was equally deadly

:57:54
and had committed his first
murder at the age of 17.

:57:57
In return, he was paid $ 50.
:57:59
He drank and he did drugs,
:58:01
and he had a wife he never saw
living somewhere in Queens.

:58:12
Well, we've got
a lot of work to do.

:58:14
It's gonna take
more than four years.

:58:15
It'll take you
to the mid-term elections...

:58:24
Hey, Jerry.
:58:25
Huh?
:58:26
Who they talkin' about?
:58:27
They're talkin'
about Reagan's speech.

:58:31
Order those two men some drinks
and put it on my tab...

:58:34
And tell them Republicans are
not welcome in Hell's Kitchen,

:58:38
and either
a political conversion

:58:40
or a change
of conversation is in order.

:58:42
Sure thing.
:58:47
Gentlemen...
:58:50
The gentleman there
:58:51
would like to buy you
a drink on one condition...

:58:53
You know the rules.
:58:54
No religion and no politics.
:58:57
You get my meaning?
