A lucky rock.

A mistake?

A molar, a a shark tooth.

A n**** pianist on a classical stage.

A new pair of shoes!

A P.S.?

A thank you.

A very prejudiced thing.

A what?

About you being gone for three weeks?

About your availability.

About your own people.

Accompanying Mr. Shirley, the members of his trio,

Actually, I was trained to play classical music.

Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Afraid to make the first move.

Ah, shit!

Ah, shit.

Ah, there you go.

Ah...

Ain't they supposed to be following us?

Air?

All dressed up like that.

All right, all right, all right, relax, relax.

All right, don't let me down. Let's go.

All right, everybody.

All right, hey, look, so here's the first half of your pay.

All right, that's it.

All right. Oh. You remember Marie?

All righty.

All the people he knows, he'll find something in no time.

All the time when I was in the Army.

All these high class people, so much smarter than me,

All you gotta do is say the word, Doc.

Always on the road.

Always. Always with the kissing.

Am I glad to see you.

An athlete warms up before they rehearse.

An officer was assaulted in the line of duty.

And a concert pianist act.

And beat him badly.

And believe me, you and the Deep South,

And can you see to it that there's a bottle of Cutty Sark

And concern for my career.

And Dr. Shirley expects to eat tonight.

And Dr. Shirley's in there getting bounced around.

And every day I'm alive, I'm aware of this.

And from now on, you don't call me "Mr. Loscudo."

And he has performed at the White House twice

And he was sitting on top of a friggin' throne

And I ain't about to let this come to pass in my place.

And I give you something to thank you?

And I just put the attorney general of the United States

And I seen a store that was selling suits.

And I suffer that slight alone,

And I suppose you'd know from experience.

And I will love you the rest of my life.

And I'm about to embark on a concert tour,

And I'm not polishing nobody's shoes.

And I'm telling you to get 'em the goddamn out!

And if anyone hears of a job for Tony, let us know.

And if I'm not man enough, then tell me, Tony, what am I?

And in the liturgical arts.

And most highly educated people in the country.

And on down through the Delta.

And rich white people pay me to play piano for them

And salt's cheating.

And sets a glass of whiskey on his piano,

And she'll say, "Tony, how about some quiet time?"

And sneak you into my room.

And spaghetti and meatballs, I'm not gonna get insulted.

And that is why I called and inquired

And that's why he drinks too much.

And the five boroughs.

And the itinerary, and this thing.

And the traffic out here in the country is nothing,

And their colors have faded to grays and browns."

And then complains because he's not respected

And then we're taking a hard left.

And there's garbage in there.

And they put that little tie on him, too.

And those weren't children on the cover.

And tonight, because of you, we did not.

And use the facilities there,

And we are so happy to have you here, Mr. Shirley.

And we can go home, get away from these pricks.

And we rolled out the welcome wagon.

And we're not a band. We're a trio.

And what if you lost?

And what's the difference?

And where are you?

And why are you driving him?

And why would you want a regular rock?

And without the profanity.

And you gotta travel, for some reason.

And you rewarded them.

And you see this here hat?

And you, you ain't got no say.

And you're proud of that?

And, uh, now we're lost.

Animals go in the woods.

Any cook can make things salty.

Anyone can sound like Beethoven

Anyone could sound like Beethoven or...

Anything at all, you let me know.

Anything left?

Appreciate it, but, uh,

Appreciate it.

Are them horns real?

Are trying to change this country.

Are you crazy?

Are you gonna throw up again?

Are you interested

Aretha Franklin.

Arranged for me to study

As always, a very special thanks

As long as they get to the show on time,

As my mother always said,

As soon as he started playing, a group of men

As the guest of honor, I'll be introduced

Ask what you do for yourself."

Asking to attenuate assault charges? Who does that?

At 2nd Avenue Deli than I do

At a white establishment in this city.

At age 18,

At Arthur Fiedler's invitation,

At the age of three.

At the end of Shostakovich's Seventh.

B Bought... Betty bought butta er, butta...

Baloney.

Be a personal assistant. I need a valet.

Be careful.

Be down in a minute.

Beautiful gray suit in the window.

Because genius is not enough.

Because I'm not accepted by my own people

Because it makes them feel cultured.

Because it's takes courage to change people's hearts

Because that is their true culture.

Because you can do better, Mr. Vallelonga.

Because you know, if I miss a show,

Beef like that should never happen inside the club.

Before we pull out, Tony, we need to have a talk.

Besides, I told you never to go nowhere without me!

Better him than me.

Big fields around here."

Birmingham, yes. It's a Christmas show.

Bobby Kennedy just saved our asses.

Brahms, Franz Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin.

Bravo!

Bring it in. Serve it up hot.

Bullshit.

Bullshit. Take it.

Bum a smoke?

But as soon as I step off that stage, I go right back

But do it in a manner that no one else

But he ask for this.

But I ain't no butler.

But I like this. This is nice.

But I think I got the hang of it now.

But I was persuaded by my record company

But it got more and more difficult to stay in touch.

But it's a piece of shit.

But let me be crystal clear.

But not everyone can play Chopin.

But sometimes I think he gets sad,

But that would take at least a half an hour.

But we ain't.

But what exactly am I being charged with?

But whatever happens here, I'm gonna put a bullet

But your music, what you do, only you can do that

But your music, what you do...

But, uh, is there a doctor's office in here?

By bullshitting them.

Bye, now.

Call him.

Called his room.

Calling from some backwoods swamp jail,

Can play on anything you put in front of them.

Can't be eating 26 hot dogs every day.

Can't see shit.

Certain types of music, it doesn't mean I have to.

Couldn't seem to manage both worlds.

Couple years ago on a barnstorming tour, and...

Course I do.

Course not.

Dear Delores, I saw Dr. Shirly play the piano

Dear Delores, sometimes you remind me of a house

Dear Dolores:

Dear Dolores: How are you?

Dee, put this in a bank today.

Dee! Do you need help with the calzone?

Delicious.

Depends what you're paying.

Did you?

Dignity always prevails.

Do I look Irish?

Do it again. Let's do it again.

Do not drive, Mr. Vallelonga.

Do you foresee any issues in working for a black man?

Do you forsee any issue working for a black man?

Do you know where you are?

Do you really have a gun?

Do you want anything? I'm getting a pack of smokes.

Do yourself a favor... go home with your friends.

Don Shirley.

Don, don't do this. Now, you signed a contract, and I...

Don't be lazy, Tony. Enunciate.

Don't be shy, Doc.

Don't be stupid.

Don't bother. You took all the fun out of it.

Don't call him that.

Don't don't do that.

Don't ever flash your wad of cash in a bar.

Don't lecture me, you rat.

Don't tell me nothing.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I took care of it.

Dr. Shirley and I are getting along pretty good.

Dr. Shirley could have stayed up north,

Dr. Shirley lives upstairs, above the Hall.

Dr. Shirley only plays on Steinway grand pianos.

Dr. Shirley?

Dr. Shirley. The Don Shirley Trio.

Dr. Shirley's in trouble.

Dressing room is in the back, sir.

Everything okay?

Exactly like how you said it.

Except he called it "Titsburgh."

Excuse me, Don.

Excuse me, sirs.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Sir.

For luck, maybe.

For some, uh, introductions.

For that pretty little wife of yours.

For the right money, I would.

For the show tomorrow?

For three times money.

For you and Dr. Shirley.

For you to make the assumption that every n****...

Fortunately, a man who had seen me play

Fouls it back to the crowd.

From now on, you don't go nowhere without me.

From the far north,

From the TV set.

From thy bounty, through Christ, our Lord.

Hand him over.

Hands in the air!

Has ever done it before.

Have a wonderful trip, sir.

Have you ever considered becoming a food critic?

Have you ever driven professionally before?

He ain't a real doctor.

He ain't got no gun, Ray.

He can't be out here at night.

He could eat more hot dogs than me.

He didn't ask me to do that.

He didn't ask me.

He does have, uh, rights.

He does?

He gave his first public performance

He get on your nerves?

He holds doctorates in psychology, in music

He is a true virtuoso.

He is killing you!

He just afraid of getting that butler uniform a little dusty.

He knocked off 24.

He knows where I am if he ever wants to reconnect.

He lives on top of Carnegie Hall.

He said he'd pay you what you asked for.

He says, "I'm sorry, Officer. I didn't mean to speed, but..."

He shouldn't have woke me up.

He wanted to know if I'd be okay

He wants to talk to you.

He's a piano player.

He's colored?

He's full of shit.

He's got a silky voice, very smooth.

He's like a genius I think

He's looking for a driver

He's looking for a driver.

He's my boss.

He's only the greatest piano player in the world.

He's playing tonight. He's the main event.

He's so expressive.

Heard it was missing, so I looked into it.

Hell no.

Hello, New York.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hmm. I see.

Hold on. I'll start a new one.

Home cooked fried chicken.

Honest to God, Doc, I don't understand you.

How about some quiet time?

How are you?

How could you not know this music?

How does he smile and shake the hands like that?

How does he smile and shake their hands like that?

How is that?

How to play like that?

How you doing?

How you say this last name?

How? Do you have plates or utensils?

However charming it may be in the tristate area,

Huh?

Huh?

I ain't going nowhere, Doc.

I ain't ironing no shirts,

I ain't worried about nothing.

I am a musician

I am fine.

I am not a medical doctor

I assumed you'd want this to be the exception.

I ate 26.

I beg your pardon?

I beg your pardon?

I bet there's not two Steinways

I buy youse each a suit?

I can hear it now, Governor.

I can keep you busy while the Copa is down.

I can teach you that are quite effective. I can help you.

I can't believe they lost.

I can't breathe back here.

I can't keep my eyes open.

I could pick up a little bit of what you were saying there.

I did what I had to do.

I didn't know it bothered you.

I didn't like the way he was treating you.

I didn't mean to put you in that position.

I didn't notice any difference at all.

I didn't steal from a box.

I didn't steal no stone.

I didn't want to leave him, but I didn't know what to do.

I don't believe it.

I don't get it.

I don't get my hat, I'll burn the Copa down.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I think he's, like,

I don't know. Personally, I think,

I don't know. Sounds fairly complicated.

I don't lose.

I don't make the rules down here.

I don't think I've ever met anyone with your appetite.

I don't think so, no.

I don't, either, but it wasn't one of ours.

I ever had.

I feel fine. And I ain't paying for no regular rock

I feel safer already.

I found in the dirt.

I got 400 guests in there

I got a call about Dr. Shirley.

I got it when I was kid, 'cause my friend said

I got it, Pop. I got it.

I got more in common with the Hymies

I got no problem being on the road with you.

I got you, Doc.

I gotta drive. Ten and two on the wheel.

I gotta go all the way back to your motel.

I guess you'd better move your ass, then.

I guess.

I had my record label ask around town

I have a brother somewhere.

I have ever done.

I hear you almost split a guy's face open.

I I can't do this, Tony.

I I don't need no goddamn help. People don't like

I I understand why my associate is being held,

I I was just going down to tell them.

I just needed some air.

I just said it nice.

I just wanted a drink, Tony.

I just wish you hadn't paid 'em off.

I knew a guy from Pittsburgh.

I knew you had a gun.

I know exactly who I am.

I know you're the kind of man who honors a contract.

I know.

I like what you did back there, Doc.

I live on the streets. You sit on a throne.

I love it, too. n**** cooks used to make it

I love you, too, baby.

I love you. Your husband, Tony.

I loved you the day I met you, I love you today,

I mean, come on, Doc. These are your people.

I mean, guys like you, you work hard.

I mean, it's amazing.

I mean, the dinner rolls here are like rocks.

I mean, you take the basic ingredients...

I miss you very, very much."

I need some sleep.

I need someone who can handle my itinerary.

I need someone who can launder my clothes and shine my shoes.

I need you to stop it with the phony altruism

I never knew how very beautiful this country was.

I noticed on the itinerary thing,

I noticed your car was tilting left.

I picked up a rock off of the ground.

I prefer not to get grease on my blanket

I prefer not to get grease on my blanket.

I promise

I promise.

I refuse to stay in an establishment

I said "bullshit artist."

I said I'm fine.

I saw this kid Bobby Rydell

I see.

I see.

I shipped that goddamn Steinway in from Atlanta for you!

I should have brung the iron."

I spoke to Podell.

I swear to God it's gonna turn up.

I tell you.

I think you're doing a wonderful job.

I thought, uh... I thought I was going to an office.

I told him it was okay for you to go.

I told you that kraut was a snake.

I told you.

I took a picture of him; it was so cute.

I turned down your bed, sir.

I walk up to the car, and I say,

I want a letter.

I want these Yankees off of my property.

I want to speak to my lawyer.

I want to spend some time with the family.

I want you to guard it with your life.

I want you to write me a letter.

I wanted to kill that broad.

I was hired to get you from one show to the next.

I was hungry.

I was kidding.

I was the best bullshit artist in the Bronx.

I was the first n**** ever accepted there.

I was walking through your nice town today,

I went out for a drink, I walk into this bar,

I will write you another letter when we get down south.

I won't.

I work for the record company.

I worked a lot of joints.

I wouldn't touch that mattress, Doc.

I, uh... I think I got the wrong address,

I'd do that once a month for free.

I'd have zero problem going in the woods.

I'd like to formally offer you

I'd like you all to meet Don Shirley.

I'd like you to do when we arrive in the city...

I'd piss right on the living room floor.

I'd prefer not to use that.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right up the street at the Easton Inn.

I'll check out some ties for you.

I'll get to it immediately, Governor.

I'll just wait outside.

I'll play if you want me to.

I'll put 'em under the mattress.

I'll stop at the next place we see

I'm a good bullshitter."

I'm a musician.

I'm about to embark on a concert tour in the deep south

I'm afraid not.

I'm Bobby Rydell, and I'm glad to be here.

I'm counting on youse.

I'm Dr. Donald Shirley.

I'm fine. Thank you, Tony.

I'm flush right now.

I'm getting hypnotized here.

I'm going back in there.

I'm gonna drink for two months.

I'm gonna have to go back to driving garbage trucks.

I'm good.

I'm here for the driver job.

I'm just getting started over here.

I'm just good at talking people into...

I'm just saying you have a marvelous way with words

I'm just saying, we're an arty family.

I'm just, um...

I'm making dinner.

I'm not eating in that storage room.

I'm not just hiring a chauffeur.

I'm not sure this is the proper job for a married man.

I'm not worried about it, and neither should you.

I'm okay.

I'm on my way to meet a friend.

I'm pulling us into the next hotel.

I'm reminded of the beautiful plains of Iowa."

I'm saying, just because other n****es enjoy

I'm sorry about last night.

I'm sorry, fellas, duty calls.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you understand.

I'm talking.

I'm telling you, this is gonna be

I'm the asshole who has to hustle every goddamn day

I'm the guy who lived in the same neighborhood

I'm the one who's gonna miss the Birmingham show.

I'm Tony.

I'm well aware.

I'm with the band.

I'm working here.

I'm your pal, Gio.

I've been looking for you.

I've been working nightclubs in New York City my whole life.

I've had to endure that kind of talk my entire life.

I've never had fried chicken in my life.

Ice cold.

If I was in a bar in your neighborhood,

If you don't play Birmingham.

If you gentlemen don't mind,

If you need anything,

If you said all guineas like pizza

If you stuck to the classic stuff,

If you want to buy something, you don't have to ask.

If you'd like, Tony, I'd happily buy you the stone.

In 45 minutes, I will be right up there

In an incredibly awkward position.

In eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey

In fact, when you see me worried, you'll know.

In here, with me, who did nothing.

In Kentucky!

In my humble opinion,

In my room every night?

In our "guest of honor" spot.

In the Bronx my entire life with my mother, my father,

In the past 14 months.

In the whole state of Indiana.

In what capacity?

Innate ability to handle trouble.

Interacting with some of the wealthiest

Is breaking my spirit."

Is Dr. Shirley in his dressing room?

Is hitting the Eastern Seaboard with the severest weather

Is our biggest show of the year,

Is she taking it into the bathtub?

Is that a molar?

Is there a problem, Officer?

It ain't a Steinway.

It ain't gonna be no good.

It doesn't bother you that your friends,

It is a pleasure to meet you.

It is about a 42.

It is as beautiful as they say.

It is my feeling that your diction

It is my feeling that your diction,

It is the policy of the restaurant.

It is.

It just seems...

It looks a lot worse from the outside.

It says right here,

It takes courage to change people's hearts.

It was a gift from my mother.

It was a gift.

It was a pleasure, Mr. Loscudo, really.

It was filled with statues and all kinds of fancy crap.

It was just the other day, me and the wife

It wasn't even the greatest catch in the Polo Grounds.

It would've been a big mistake.

It'll come out of your pocketbook.

It's a buck and a quarter a week.

It's a long story, Tony.

It's a lot cheaper than calling long distance, Tony.

It's a shame we don't have something

It's all I ever wanted to play.

It's all right.

It's amazing you said that.

It's based on a French opera.

It's gonna be at least 20 minutes,

It's good money.

It's half my pay.

It's in his written contract.

It's Italian.

It's just a regular rock.

It's like what your friend, the president, said.

It's more fun winning it.

It's nice to talk to you.

It's not great at all.

It's not great.

It's not Tony the Lip.

It's perfect, Tony.

It's pouring rain.

It's right out there before that pine.

It's Saturday night at the Copa.

It's the bottom of the ninth.

It's the last show.

It's Tony Lip. One word.

It's your dice. I'm just having a lucky night.

It's, uh, Dr. Shirley, the piano guy.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus.

John, show him a menu.

John!

Like, uh, like Lassie's mom.

Limos. Tow trucks.

Lip, I thought you were gonna kill that guy.

Listen, assholes.

Little Frankie climbed up onto the TV.

Little Richard.

Look at him. He's over there having a grand old time,

Look at them over there.

Look who it is! Shakespeare's home! Hey!

Look...

Looks like your back tire is flat.

Looks more like a piecemeal ransom note.

Loscudo's out of his mind.

Louisville.

Madonne, is this the new one?

Madonne. How great is that?

Make sure it's a Steinway as per my contract.

Make what?

Makes you blacker than me?

Making you stand out in the rain like that.

Manager caught him and the other guy.

Maryville Police.

May I have a word with you?

May I?

Mr. Villanueva,

Must have been naughty kids.

My brother, and now my wife and kids.

My hat.

My man, my duty is to get my money back.

My pleasure, Tony.

My point is we'll be gone for eight straight weeks.

My wife went out and bought one of your records.

Nah, I'm good.

Nah, that's all right.

Nah.

Nat King Cole was invited to perform

Nature takes care of the Earth.

Next time you need extra money, just ask me.

Nice to see you.

Nice turtleneck.

No breaks, right up until Christmas.

No game seven, no game seven.

No. I mean, the record companies gave me the maps

No. No, you're not good. You're bad.

No. No.

No. No.

No. Not really.

Nobody knew who he was.

Not like I can.

Not my problem.

Not really? Either you do or you don't.

Not really.

Nothing matters to me but you,

Nothing particularly important.

Now he thinks I'm some kind of...

Now I gotta worry about what people think

Now that I'm seeing it, I know.

Now, as you can imagine, our Christmas show

Now, if he misses any shows,

Now, let's cut the bullshit.

Now, sometimes you guys are staying in the same hotel,

Now, this is the book I was telling you about.

Now, why would you pick up a rock off the ground?

Now, wipe off your knees. You have dirt on them.

Now!

Now! Now!

Now. He in his box.

Nowhere!

Of course I don't want you to miss a show,

Of course I've heard of him.

Of course.

Of the league and all, we were tickled to have them here,

Oh, and he called you.

Oh, I I'd rather not.

Oh, I know.

Oh, I see.

Oh, I'm gonna get grease on my blankie

Oh, it was wonderful.

Oh, shit!

Oh, so knowing who Little Richard is

Oh, thank you. That's unnecessary.

Oh, that was a good time.

Oh, there ain't a Steinway on campus.

Oh, this is my lovely wife, Margaret.

Oh, Tony, I wish you could hear yourself sometimes.

Oh, um...

Oh, well, I apologize, but...

Oh, well, it's in the family.

Okay.

Okay. I'll tell you what.

Oleg Malacovich, George Dyer, and his associate

Oleg. Cello.

On that stage entertaining your guests,

One ball, one strike.

One down, and the batter will be Roger Maris.

One more thing.

One, two...

Oof.

Ooh, I'm gonna get grease on my blankey.

Or a tiger's, maybe.

Or don't come home at all.

Or go hire that little Chink just pranced out of here.

Or I'm not performing tonight.

Orphans?

Orpheus in the Underworld.

Orpheus.

Our guest made his concert debut

Out of the car.

Over there?

P L A I N S.

P.S. Kiss the kids."

Part of Charlie the Hand's crew.

Pay for the stone, Tony; you'll feel better.

People love what you do.

Performing the music I trained my entire life to play?

Perhaps you could let me out

Pick it up Tony, squirrels would have eat it anyway, pick it up

Pick it up, Lip!

Pick it up, Tony.

Pitching dice for pocket change makes you a winner?

Place looks like my ass.

Plains.

Please make him understand.

Please, you hit him because of what he called you.

Please.

Plus, I drive my boss home at night.

Plus, now them Cuban bastards.

Primo suits.

Probably 'cause it's fresher down here, right?

Promise me you're going to write me a letter?

Promise me you're gonna write.

Public relations

Public relations.

Pull over.

Put it back.

Put it in your kick.

Put on my little shows in parishes and halls.

Put this down

Put this down.

Putting a glass of whiskey on his piano.

Rats me out for something I didn't even do!

Really?

Really? That's Little Richard?

Rent is due on Monday.

Right down the road, the Orange Bird,

Right in the middle of your thick skull.

Right now I'm eating spaghetti and meatballs in a diner

Right now!

Right this way, gentlemen.

Right. And that's good?

Salty.

Save on stamps.

Say it nice.

Say, uh, a hundred dollars, you get your boy to play?

Second game of the World Series.

See how far you get.

See you, Carmine.

See, that's the difference between you and me.

Seeing as they was the world champions

She says it when... when I come home from work sometimes.

She taught me how to play on an old spinet.

She's not thinking about a toaster.

She's thinking about a TV.

Shouldn't judge a man by his clothes.

Show me.

Shut up!

Shut up. She works here, all right, tough guy?

Shut your ass up, man, and leave me alone!

Sir, I can just get it right here through the window.

Sir?

Sit down. Sit down, sit down.

Six years ago, in 1956,

Smoke's going in my lungs; I'm doing all the work here.

Snowplows. Whatever.

So control yourself.

So he just needs something for a couple of months.

So I can go back and finish the show.

So I was thinking...

So if I'm not black enough and if I'm not white enough tell me what am I?

So let's just get there

So show a little appreciation, maybe.

So stooping down in the gravel

So take it out.

So that little temper tantrum, was it worth it?

So that we could discuss the situation further.

So the boys in the kitchen whipped up a special menu

So un... unsanitary.

So vivid, one can almost taste it.

So we squashed it.

So we'd be home in time for Christmas Eve?

So what?

So what?

So yeah, my world is way more blacker than yours.

So, any way we could, uh, maybe hit the road early next morning

So, can I put, uh... "P.S. Kiss the kids"?

So, come on. I'm dying to hear.

So, darling, what you do?

So, do you know what table

So, if I'm not black enough and if I'm not white enough

So, if you need anything,

So, if you want me,

So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

So, Tony, you all right? You seem a little quiet.

So, uh, Johnny here tells me you ate

So, what are you gonna do while we're closed?

So, what'd my sister have to say

So, where did this "Tony the Lip" moniker come from?

So, where'd you learn

So, you're the band?

So...

Some guy called over here a doctor

Some guy called over here. A doctor.

Some place you got here.

Something like, uh...

Sometimes you're not.

Son of a bitch.

Soon as I could walk, we'd...

Sorry, Doc. They're some friends from New York.

Sorry. Not for me.

Sorry. That's not how the record company does it.

Step out of the car.

Stop the car, Tony!

Stop.

Sure, we could.

Take a good look at the officer you hit.

Take it back and pay for it.

Take it. Here you go.

Take it. I'm throwing it in the back.

Take me home, Lip.

Take this.

Tell her who you are.

Tell me what it's gonna take, huh?

Tell me what you're trying to say.

Tell you, I don't know how he puts up with that shit.

Ten and two on the wheel, please.

Ten to one, you slap this moolie out,

Terrible grammar, but a kind soul.

Th They know him now.

Than, say, women in New York?

Thank you all for coming to see us tonight.

Thank you for calling.

Thank you for helping him with the letters.

Thank you for sharing your husband with me.

Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Thank you, Amit.

Thank you, Amit.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, Mr. Kindell.

Thank you, Oleg.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks, Officer.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That also means a raise in pay.

That dago wop hit me!

That guy you hit, Mikey Cerrone,

That man and his brother

That never happened before.

That right?

That tastes like ketchup on Chinese noodles.

That Titsburgh was a major disappointment.

That was Joe DiMaggio, 1936,

That was Russian.

That's a handsome suit.

That's absurd.

That's all they told you?

That's good

That's how you break a key.

That's it.

That's it. That's who I am.

That's like clanging a cowbell

That's like clinging a cowbell at the end of Shostikovich's 7th.

That's me.

That's me.

That's our deal, right?

That's perfect Tony

That's the one.

That's Tony.

That's what else he got to do.

That's what the guy gets paid for.

That's where they taught you all them songs you play?

That's why you're driving him around.

The address is, uh, 881 7th Avenue.

The baby elephant just hit 19!

The band has been playing at very ritzy joints.

The bozos in his band

The Copa's closing for repairs,

The curve is hit deep into right field...

The Deep South.

The distance between us is breaking my spirit

The Don Shirley Trio.

The easiest 50 bucks you're ever gonna make.

The fish is wonderful tonight.

The grits and the collard greens.

The last show's on the 23rd of December, right?

The majority of which will be down south.

The n**** Motorist's Green Book.

The one about the orphans.

The people closest to you, consider you a liar?

The pitch to Maris, curveball...

The plains.

The position of my road manager.

The profanity is another issue.

The square one, please.

The squirrels would've ate it anyway.

The the parking spot of honor, he can't?

The way I talk, they can go take a shit.

Their big coon ate at that night?

Then say that.

Then who does?

Then you do what I goddamn tell you to do

There we go.

There you go.

There you go.

There's a very popular establishment

There's gonna be problems.

There's gotta be something we can do to work this out.

There's no problems along the way?

These are genteel people.

These are long standing traditions, club rules.

They can call me Tony Lip.

They can eat here, but the star of the show,

They didn't have a choice whether to be inside or out.

They don't like it, they can shove it up their ass.

They got a problem with Vallelonga,

They have the itinerary.

They insisted that audiences would never accept

They pull him off stage

They said a doctor needed a driver.

They say our great great great grandfather

They try to pull that outhouse shit on me,

They were out of line.

They were wrong for the way they treated me,

They'd be happy to feed you.

They're all sneaks.

They're gonna win the World Series.

They're interviewing guys tomorrow afternoon.

They're not bad.

They're playing tonight.

Things.

Think my brain's gonna explode.

Think you could play something like that, Doc?

Think you could yell a little louder?

This boy is gonna get what he's got coming to him.

This can't be right.

This Christmas Eve as a major snowstorm

This could get bad, Doc.

This gentleman says I'm not permitted to dine here

This guy's saying Dr. Shirley can't eat here.

This is a sundown town.

This is an animal.

This is Dr. Donald Shirley.

This is just the way things are done down here.

This is Mr. Tony Vallelonga.

This is the place.

This is very fucking romantic.

This is what everybody's dancing to now.

This is what we do.

This is why you people don't work down here.

This isn't the piano, right?

This morning I had steak and eggs

This... gentleman says that I'm not permitted to dine here.

Those big fields we saw.

Those boys came through here

Those were demons in the bowels of hell.

Three shots vodka.

Time for truce.

To being just another ****** to them.

To Don Shirley and the Don Shirley Trio.

To find me the right man.

To get to Pittsburgh by dinner.

To have a drink.

To have.

To make it taste good without the salt,

To Mr. Jules Podell for having us out.

To present a great American artist.

To protect us on our journey.

To purchase tickets to tonight's performance.

To pursue a career in popular music instead.

To put food on the table.

To the right and across the lobby.

Tonight, I saved your ass.

Tony Lip!

Tony Lip.

Tony Lip.

Tony Valle. Short and sweet.

Tony Valle... Valle... Vallelong longia.

Tony, are you hungry?

Tony, come on. Hurry up.

Tony, do you have to smoke everywhere?

Tony, give it here. I'll fix it.

Tony, God bless.

Tony, no expounding.

Tony, tell us about the trip.

Tony, the first thing

Tony, wake up.

Tony, you should have seen the day last week

Tony.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony.

Tony...

Took quite the toll on my marriage as well.

Trained? What are you, a seal?

Travel around the Florida Panhandle,

Travelers are advised to stay off the New Jersey Turnpike.

Traveling around the world doing concerts for rich people.

Two and a half years ago in South Philly.

Two Cutty Sarks, neat.

Two Orange Birds!

Two T's in "bullshitter."

Ugly circumstances are going to happen again,

Uh, are you looking for the commode?

Uh, e excuse me.

Uh, good morning, Doctor.

Uh, if you'd like to purchase it first,

Uh, let's keep the car right here

Uh, no, it's not all right.

Uh, shall I unpack your luggage now?

Uh, y you you can't come in here.

Uh, you're not allowed to try that on.

Uh...

Uh...

Uh...

Um, there. Some friends of mine.

Unfortunately, I couldn't do a husband act

Valle would be more appropriate.

Vallelonga.

Vallelonga. Yeah.

Wagon Wheel, Peppermint Lounge, Copa.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me

Wait a minute. You're full of shit.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait.

Want me to get some makeup or something

Wanted to turn me into just another colored entertainer.

Was the easiest thing I've ever done."

Watch out for them krauts.

Way to mix it up.

We agreed on 125 a week, plus expenses.

We are heading down south now.

We came over to keep Dolores company.

We did it! We got it!

We do this

We do this.

We don't mind waiting.

We got about an hour before showtime. Any questions?

We got plenty of time.

We got to have some guarantee you're gonna finish the job.

We had to make a detour, and we got lost.

We had to turn off the main road,

We have many concert dates left.

We need a Brillo Pad to wash these dishes with.

We need all the help we can get.

We need it.

We need to get back in this ball game.

We need to get back in this.

We should really get going soon if we expect

We think you're gonna have a great time tonight.

We used to get together once in a while,

We walk out. Won't be a problem.

We were screwed. Now we ain't.

We'd be happy to tailor it to your needs.

We'll be attending many events before and after the concerts.

We'll return after a brief intermission.

We'll see.

We're done.

We're going to steal Donnie away

We're gonna do our best to make sure of that.

We're in the fifth inning...

We're not insulting him personally.

We're not open right now, but you're welcome

We're trying to get to New York.

Weather advisory warning

Welcome home, Dr. Shirley.

Welcome, Mr. Shirley.

Welcome.

Well, can we get the cuffs off him,

Well, come on. Make some room.

Well, don't be silly, Don.

Well, first of all, Tony, I'm not a medical doctor.

Well, he had a great job at the Sanitation Department.

Well, he said we got an hour.

Well, he's gotta eat. I mean, he's gotta have dinner.

Well, I could return to my motel

Well, I don't understand.

Well, I got cause.

Well, I sure ain't.

Well, I've never had any complaints.

Well, if you ever need any help with that...

Well, it got me this job.

Well, Mr. Vallelonga,

Well, size wise. Yeah.

Well, the bet's simple.

Well, then it's Tony Vallelonga.

Well, then we got nothing to worry about.

Well, uh, yes, that is a long time.

Well, you continue down the hall here, Tony,

Well, you wouldn't last a week with him.

What about that?

What are you doing out here?

What are you doing?

What are you giving me shit for?

What are you gonna do?

What are you looking at?

What are you sore at me for?

What are you talking about?

What are... what are you doing?

What contest?

What did you do there?

What do I gotta do?

What do we care if you believe it?

What do we do about the bones?

What do you mean, "Let's get out of here"?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What does Michelangelo have to do with writing letters?

What else he got to do?

What happened with the doctor interview?

What happened? You get fired?

What if he ain't?

What if you let him go

What if, as a thank you... a donation...

What in the good goddamn we got here, fellas?

What kind of thank you?

What Mr. Shirley might like for supper.

What on God's green Earth are you doing?

What other experience do you have?

What other experience do you have?

What planes?

What the hell all you guys doing here?

What the hell does that mean?

What the hell happened at the Copa?

What the hell you guys doing down here?

What the hell's this guy doing?

What they eat, how they talk, how they live.

What you want, baby?

What, we're in a hurry now?

What, you got beak trouble, Charlie?

What, you gotta wear a tuxedo onstage every night?

What, you too high and mighty?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? I can't get mad at that stuff he was saying

What? No.

What'd he say?

What'd I do?

What'd I do?

What'd you say?

What's that?

What's that?

What's the big deal, Doc?

What's the record here for hot dogs?

What's your point?

Whatever you want.

When describing food.

When entering these intimate events.

When I goddamn tell you to do it!

When it runs low, let me know.

When you don't like what I'm saying.

When you eat, eat like it's your last meal.

When you work, work. When you laugh, laugh.

When?

When's that ever gonna happen?

Where are you off to?

Where everyone is happy inside."

Where I'm not welcome.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Where you been?

Where's the restaurant?

Where's your room?

Which brings me to one more point.

Which is fine by me.

Who gives a shit?

Who had the balls to clip Gio's hat?

Who is this?

Who let him out of his cage?

Who said "liar"?

Who says that? Butta er.

Who the hell did you call?

Who you bullshitting?

Who you think you're talking to, greaseball?

Who?

Who's Dr. Shirley?

Whole thing was, uh, over a piece of ass, right?

Why are you breaking my balls?

Why are you breaking my balls?

Why are you on this road?

Why are you smiling?

Why can't you just make an exception this one time?

Why did they say that he was a doctor?

Why don't I just pull over?

Why don't we bring something to his dressing room, huh?

Why don't you ever kiss me like that?

Why don't you put your lucky rock up on the dash, Tony?

Why wasn't Lip in on that contest?

Why would women in Pittsburgh have larger breasts

Why wouldn't I finish the job? I took it, didn't I?

Why?

Why?

Why? Are we bringing broads?

Why? Is there money in that?

With all due respect, sir,

With all the tubes back there?

With him taking my husband away from his family for two months.

With just the other flavors, that's the trick.

With the Boston Pops.

With the title also comes more responsibility, but...

With the wife, too? Geez.

With their intelligence and speaking abilities,

With these hillbilly pricks down here.

With toppings.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Worldly for them.

Would the conversation be any different?

Yea, right, I'm good

Yeah, he's terrific.

Yeah, how was he, the tootsoon?

Yeah, I hope you gave him some beating.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I was stationed in Germany in the Army.

Yeah, I work for the record company, too.

Yeah, I'll finish this tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll try one of them.

Yeah, it does. It's in his contract.

Yeah, it lists all the places coloreds can stay down south.

Yeah, just just ask him to be reasonable.

Yeah, like, at the end.

Yeah, right? I'm good.

Yeah, soon as you make a meal.

Yeah, sorry. The guys were having a little game.

Yeah, the record company rented it.

Yeah, we want to try on that, uh,

Yeah, we'll see.

Yeah, well, he's not from down here.

Yeah, well, thanks for nothing.

Yeah, what are you gonna do?

Yeah, what kind of name is that?

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah? All right, give me a kiss.

Yeah? So?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. More like half a broom closet.

Yeah. Nah, I'm just tired, you know?

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Sanitation.

Yeah. Two kids.

Yes, I live in a castle, Tony! Alone.

Yes, Mr. Loscudo.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. He's right here, sir. Yes, sir.

Yes, Tony. You got it.

Yes, you can.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. I'm sure.

Yes. Please sit down.

Yet I can't eat here?

Yet I'm the one who pays the price.

Yo, Tommy!

You a cop?

You a lawyer?

You ain't going nowhere no time soon.

You always say that

You are so lucky.

You asked me once why Dr. Shirley does this.

You better be home for Christmas,

You can be that?

You can piss in the woods.

You can't get electrocuted

You cannot hold me without cause.

You cheating, brother!

You come home in under a month.

You could have drunk here. You got a whole bottle.

You could mix it up a little, Doc.

You deserve it.

You did.

You don't even know who Little Richard is.

You don't know your own people

You don't play, we don't get paid.

You don't see Arthur Rubinstein

You don't tell me where to go. You know who I am?

You ever hear of the Boston Celtics basketball club?

You get all dressed up,

You gonna get that?

You good?

You got a big show tomorrow night. Come on.

You got a show to do, mister.

You got it in a 42?

You gotta get to bed, Doc.

You happy?

You have a very narrow assesment of me Tony

You have a very narrow assessment of me, Tony.

You have the correct address.

You have to start somewhere, Tony.

You have to talk sense to Mr. Shirley.

You hear me?

You heard me.

You just go over and... you go over and come back.

You just said there.

You know a lawyer?

You know that?

You know this is pathetic, right?

You know this song.

You know what, maybe that other place is better anyway.

You know, Doc, something's been eating at me this whole trip.

You know, doing things they don't want to do.

You know, donation to the police force.

You know, I miss her and shit.

You know, if this got out, it would kill your career.

You know, my father used to say...

You know, she's been with the kids all day,

You know, that's a very prejudiced thing

You know, the guy who's smoking while he's playing

You know, um, when you get home,

You know, world's full of lonely people

You know?

You know...

You like suits?

You like that, Doc?

You lost $50?

You made it back!

You make yourself a few extra bucks, you buy something nice

You mean diction... like in what way?

You mean, like, songs?

You Mr Bigshot doing concerts for rich people

You must be Dolores.

You must be starving, Doc.

You need somebody to get you from point A to point B?

You need someone to make sure

You never heard of Chubby Checker?

You never win with violence

You never win with violence, Tony.

You only win when you maintain your dignity

You only win when you maintain your dignity.

You people love the fried chicken

You people love the fried chicken,

You picked it up and put it in your pocket.

You put your hands on me, you punk?

You realize we're contractually obliged to perform them?

You seem like reasonable men.

You should be able to take it for at least one night.

You should have told me.

You should've seen this place, Dee.

You shouldn't have hit him.

You shouldn't have punched out the foreman.

You speak German, huh?

You stole a jade stone from the store.

You stood up for yourself.

You sure? Bruise kind of shows.

You take care of that thing?

You take the wife out for dinner.

You tell him, Frankie.

You tell Juley Podell, if I don't

You tell that fat Jew bastard,

You think I'm doing this for my health?

You think you can buy me?

You turn yourself around right now, goddamn it!

You ungrateful bastard.

You want another piece?

You want me to piss my pants?

You want to keep your goddamn job?

You want to play?

You were only thinking about yourself back there

You were unbelievable.

You will be interacting with some of the wealthiest people in the country

You will be introduced as well.

You won't believe how beautiful nature is.

You wouldn't be in a job like this if you couldn't be bought.

You wouldn't talk so damn much.

You, in the deep south. There are going to be problems

You, Mr. Big Shot, you live on top of a castle,

You, uh, looking to earn a little extra scharole?

You?

You'd quite like her.

You'll never see us again.

You're a real prick, you know that?

You're all set up.

You're embarrassing your son!

You're embarrassing!

You're gonna get the rest when the tour's over.

You're half a ****** yourself.

You're married.

You're missing the point.

You're not getting your back end.

You're not going to get electrocuted...

You're not gonna smoke while I'm eating.

You're quite sure you can leave your family for that long?

You're really good at writing 'em.

You're saying just 'cause I'm white and they're white?

You're saying the boy we got locked up called who?

You're telling me they can't pronounce my name?

You're thinking of toasters.

You've been gone two months.

You've impressed several people with your...

Your choice of words.

Your mother's ass.

Your name came up more than once.

Youse guys.
