According to, you know, some people.

Actually, I'm looking for a little favor...

After a while,

After Chicago, Jimmy and I got close. The wives hit it off.

After that Miami fiasco.

After that, anybody who wanted anything from the pension fund, they got it.

After the killing,

Against his family by a frustrated Justice Department

Ah, shit!

Alive and well.

All Chuckie knew was he was pickin' up one of Pro's guys and me,

All due respect to Russ, you know,

All I can say, we will not stop.

All I need is some guys

All our forces are on increased alert.

Although you knew it was supposed to look like Fitz

Always afraid.

Amen.

Among our ranks,

An area rumored to be neutral territory among mobsters.

And $500,000 under the table to Nixon's re election committee,

And a... who knows what the fuck.

And all I wanted to do was finish my ice cream in peace.

And all that there.

And all the other guys

And become the Thirty Sixth President of the United States.

And being in Little Italy,

And best,

And don't let anybody tell you

And don't look at you.

And everybody took the Fifth.

And everything else that they had and owned down there in Havana back.

And expound on the errors that had been made. He had ample material.

And for your wicked attempts to corrupt these processes...

And get away with it.

And had himself kidnapped, and then...

And he asked me, "How do you like your steak?"

And he had his guys from the FBI, the IRS working 'round the clock.

And he hit his bodyguard,

And he ran everything out of there.

And he re taped the door.

And his eleven year old daughter by a previous marriage.

And his kid which, in this case,

And I ain't gonna ask. All I know is

And I couldn't feel much in my feet.

And I don't want to go to Skinny and have to pay a big vig.

And I met what was gonna turn out to be the rest of my life.

And I think there's gotta be something when you go...

And I...

And in your light will see light,

And it could all get straightened out.

And it was his own guy, his own guy.

And it works for our friend here Frank Fitzsimmons!

And it works. It works for all of us.

And it's at a point where

And it's landing on us.

And Jimmy was at the top of Bobby's hit list.

And know the splendor of God,

And know, when they retire, they're not going to go hungry.

And leave this fucking other place alone,

And lent the money that built Las Vegas.

And lives just outside Philly.

And most honest union

And nobody knows what the fuck you're doing here. Okay?

And nobody talked, which is unusual.

And only one of them is Irish.

And out of all the moneys I loaned

And outside in the trees,

And pick me up.

And pick up Russ which is what we did,

And princes of industry,

And see what happens.

And send them to you in an envelope!

And some other bullshit things.

And that cocksucker better not be late.

And that was all I had to know,

And that was all well and good.

And that's what they got.

And the Attorney General, Robert Kennedy.

And the decision was made to go.

And the Feds gave him ten months for some bullshit thing about a car

And the intention was there. The intention.

And then he went to the graveyard.

And then Interstate 80 West...

And then paid them substandard wages.

And then she hears about me in the papers sometimes.

And then she will see you face to face,

And then try to understand things.

And then we would go 75 North to Detroit.

And then we'd go 75 North to Detroit.

And then you forget about everything.

And then...

And then... then we'd go across Ohio all the way to Toledo,

And there's a lien on his house. His car

And they get resentful, and they don't know who to take it out on

And they have you in the room.

And they know it.

And this man, James Riddell Hoffa,

And to her, he was helping people.

And to make sure nobody is in the bathroom you have to worry about.

And Tony Pro giving him an award.

And we was gonna pick up his dad at the Red Fox for a meetin'.

And we'd still get there on time.

And what I've been through.

And what's the first thing Bobby does? He goes after not just Jimmy,

And when I handled things for Russell, it was never for money,

And when they say they're more than a little concerned, they're desperate.

And when you come back,

And when you did something for Russ, you did it yourself.

And who the fuck is Pro? Sending a fucking errand boy.

And with him at my back,

And with Jimmy and Josephine's kids grown up and out of the house,

And won't stand in his way trying to get his job back.

And you always hurried back.

And you know the operative word I'm talking about.

And you let this happen in public!

And you pray a lot.

And you put him on

And you should go to the bathroom. You don't want to be uncomfortable.

And you would get like 10% of that.

And you're free...

And you're late.

And, because of Mr. Hoffa, workers have medical insurance

And, growing up, he kidnapped his own bosses.

And, Jimmy, I can't tell you what this means to me to get this honor from you.

And, of course, our featured speaker, James Riddell Hoffa.

And? And? How'd it go?

And... there's a problem with it.

Angelo has one.

Angelo wants to see you.

Angelo, I didn't know you had any part of it.

Another thing about him.

Any plans after that?

Any violations?

Any... any remorse...

Anybody can make a...

Anything. Anything.

Anywhere. Florida, Timbuktu, I dress in a suit. For a meetin'.

Anzio.

Are trying to sow the seeds of dissent

Are you aware you're late? I want to know. You know you're late?

Around Catania.

As a bootlegger during Prohibition.

As a matter of fact, I'm really more than a little concerned.

As an organizer, and...

As general organizer,

As his motorcade left downtown Dallas.

As much as Jimmy was getting pissed off at Fitz,

As soon as we got here, I came right here to see you.

As we want to do.

As you see us.

At a rear table, this group of six...

At a time when we need unity!

At least five.

At least in Dallas, it was just Jackie, not the kids.

At one p.m.

At the Democratic National Committee.

At the end, there's only one thing that's real.

At the other end of the bar at twelve o'clock.

At the same time...

August 3, 1975.

Authorities are trying to find whom Hoffa

Bad, bad situation. And then...

Be positive.

Be up in the morning.

Beating my record.

Beautiful.

Because I got files. I got proof.

Because I'm here now talking to you, that... that... in itself is a,

Because of him you're here.

Because of the terrible things you would do.

Before he says something like that,

Better than the bum she was with before.

Between Bobby and the FBI up his ass all the time, he's going fucking crazy.

Big business and the government

Big business and the government are trying to tear the union apart.

Big business is on the attack!

Big Ears?

Big pay and a retirement pension.

Bill Bufalino was giving his daughter away to a hell of a guy.

Bill Bufalino's daughter was getting married in Detroit.

Bill was a Teamster lawyer, but more important,

Billy, don't touch this stuff. Just go where you gotta go.

Bobby Kennedy is just another lawyer now.

Bobby likes fish.

Bobby, as Attorney General, has the power to send anybody to jail.

Bobby's vendetta was over. With us.

Bocce Club. It's a bar not a bocce club.

Bombing out a laundry place.

Boobie comes after me and the union.

Bruno Denzetta and Marco Rossi

Bruno, he... he was just made the new boss of Philadelphia.

Buddy, this is what you want to go home in, no?

Bullshit. Bullshit, Frank.

Burnt to the fucking ground. I want them out of fucking business.

Busy man.

But a .45 makes too much noise, and a patrol car

But all kidding aside, happy birthday, Joey.

But all roads led back to Russ.

But all the time?

But as a show of respect.

But back then, there wasn't nobody

But Bobby also goes after Giancana, Marcello, Trafficante,

But do you...

But Dorfman...

But everybody listened to Russ. That I can tell you.

But everybody, especially the newspapers,

But he can't understand, and to be honest, I don't either,

But he didn't know it.

But he didn't wanna come here.

But he was already back in school for that other matter.

But he's gotta listen now. I gotta make him listen.

But I can't help you.

But I charged him.

But I didn't even see you there.

But I do know that,

But I gotta direct youse to my attorney Mr. Ragano...

But I had no idea that it wasn't your mother. It was dark.

But I have bursitis and I don't deserve that either.

But I t... told Jimmy that we were gonna

But I went before, and in a place this small, you might as well just get to work.

But I'd seen enough pictures and stories in the newspapers

But if you can get him a ticket, like, to Australia...

But is there another reason?

But it didn't apply to you! What else can I say?

But it made you loopy.

But it was my understanding that Brennan

But it wasn't worth the 18 years they gave me for it. That's for sure.

But it's gonna happen.

But it's opposite.

But Jimmy says things he shouldn't say.

But later, he phoned me and said, quote:

But later. Later. Later, when you're...

But my daughter...

But nobody threatens Hoffa.

But not that.

But Pro isn't nobody.

But Sally knows better.

But somebody should have come tell me.

But that that didn't happen.

But that's another thing I don't wanna get into now.

But that's not why I'm doing this.

But that's when I left mine.

But the piece would be in his wife's purse, probably.

But the record of my loans, which I requested, I have...

But the wedding was really a peace mission.

But then Angelo, himself, started giving me little things to do, too.

But then the fighting starts,

But there is bad blood in the Detroit Local.

But there was still that jury thing in Nashville.

But there's a problem.

But they won't give you a cane in the can,

But they won't let anybody fucking stop us.

But this guy,

But we're both in here.

But we're gonna get through this.

But we're gonna like watermelon.

But what I... I... What am I gonna do?

But you and Reenie will be okay...

But you don't feel anything at all?

But you don't have to worry. You have your whole life ahead of you.

But you should tell him.

But you're blessed. You're blessed.

But your kid is a real sfigato.

But, you know, it does enough.

But... but Jimmy, he had it all set up.

But... it ain't that final.

By a would be assassin in Dallas, Texas.

By firing my wife

By helping others carry sides of beef from his truck

C... could you do me a favor?

Call her. Call her. I just want to talk to her.

Call her. Tell her to come over.

Callahan's.

Called him "Crazy Joe".

Came back. But he wasn't hurt, nothing happened.

Came up together and they were close for a while.

Can hear it a few blocks away.

Can I do anything to help and make it up to you?

Can I get more next Tuesday?

Can I introduce you to this new guy Frank?

Can they prove it?

Can we stop soon?

Can we stop soon?

Can you believe this weather, Frank?

Can you call me again?

Damn it!

Did Mr. Brennan first say, or do you remember him first saying

Did ya just go in there and say, "Gimme a fish?"

Did you get it fixed?

Did you know what he said?

Did you make this statement to the Grand Jury? I'll read it for you.

Do you know who, if anyone,

Do you know why God made the sky so high?

Do you swear to tell the truth,

Do you think the abduction had anything to do with the recent conflicts

Do you think... Do you think he's alive?

Doesn't mean the rich boy is gonna get it. You understand?

Dolores, Connie,

Don't call me a cocksucker.

Don't do this to me.

Don't ever make him wait.

Don't forget who the fuck he owes.

Don't forget your shoes, Russell.

Don't fuck with me.

Don't get cute with me. That bullshit about your mother. Get in the car!

Don't insult me and then say it didn't apply to me.

Don't laugh, you'll see.

Don't laugh.

Don't leave.

Don't say nothing to nobody Downtown.

Don't say they wouldn't dare.

Don't say they wouldn't dare.

Don't shut the door all the way. I don't like that.

Don't... don't tell me that kinda...

Down on them!

Drink up, fellas.

Drive up in the morning.

During this period of time I went into these ventures.

Either way,

Enjoy his grandchildren, enjoy his pension, enjoy his life as is."

Enough.

Especially not Skinny because I'm not getting the money from him.

Especially that little son of a bitch.

Even if it's over the phone.

Ever hit anybody?

Everybody else liked him because

Everybody from Downtown.

Everybody put here has a date when he's gonna go.

Everybody showed up.

Everybody thinks Jo's the nice one and I'm the bad guy.

Everybody uses a spot in the Schuylkill River.

Everybody who ever had anything to do with Jimmy

Everybody'll appreciate it. It's a good thing.

Everybody's a brother. You're a brother. You're his brother.

Everybody's afraid.

Everybody's dead, Mr. Sheeran.

Everybody's here. Let's have the fucking meeting.

Everything's terrible.

Except Jimmy...

Excuse us.

Fat Tony Salerno, they got on an income tax thing.

Fat Tony, he couldn't control his urine no more.

Fifteen. Fifteen's right.

Fifth Amendment.

Fine. We disagree on that.

Fitz got the message.

Fitz is okay. We like Fitz.

Fitz says he wants my old pal Dave Johnson

Five fucking years.

Five you got.

For a man or for a woman?

For a meeting?

For all these years.

For being here with me.

For being late...

For Bobby Holmes.

For ever and ever. Amen.

For guys like Russ,

For him, not for me.

For his fucking union.

For me, everything changed after Whispers.

For one thing, Jimmy didn't have a nickname

For some reason, most of these drivers are fucking lesbians.

For something like this, you're gonna need two guns.

For telling Jimmy The Weasel to strangle Jack Napoli

For the families?

For what you said when you were eating your ice cream like some fucking king.

For what you've done?

For when they get sick,

For who?

For you are the resurrection and the life.

For you know what.

For?

Forever. It goes fast.

Forgive me."

Frank Sheeran, the new president of Union 326.

Frank Sheeran.

Frank took over the pier.

Frank, don't even think about it.

Frank, he didn't mean it. It just happened.

Frank, I want you to meet my cousin Russell Bufalino.

Frank, I'm sorry, but your kid was out of line.

Frank, it's time. It's time you say what happened.

Frank, just talk to the guy.

Getting us back into casinos.

Getting us back into Havana.

Give Jimmy a call. He said he was gonna think about it.

Give me those clothes. I'll get rid of them.

Give me your glasses.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.

Glad to hear that.

Go back to sleep.

Go back. Have some fun.

Go no further, Frank.

Go with Steve down to his place. Take Vito with you.

God bless, Jimmy. You're a real gentleman.

God bless.

Have dedicated themselves to our destruction.

He ain't gonna like that.

He ain't stayin'.

He ain't that sharp. He ain't that smart.

He ain't used to people not listening to him.

He brought this on himself.

He can't seem to get that through his fat fucking Sicilian head.

He decided to come.

He did.

He didn't go there for fucking lunch.

He didn't mean it? He touched her.

He didn't steal anything because he's an exemplary employee,

He didn't tell anybody one word.

He didn't want me registering in my name at the hotel.

He does this and collects a full time salary while he's doing it.

He doesn't have to understand everything.

He doesn't touch a fucking person! Everybody gets out of the way.

He even set up

He gave Fitz his orders through Bill Bufalino and Allen Dorfman,

He has no choice.

He has no choice.

He has no right to push her. Touch her.

He hit Joe twice,

He hopes we can work everything out.

He is a union man...

He knows who the fuck he owes.

He leased truck drivers to freight companies,

He likes to talk, don't he?

He loans money to every goombah who asks.

He lost.

He means what he's saying.

He needs somebody he can trust around him.

He noticed that the tape had been removed...

He owned something, you could tell.

He plays golf?

He plays golf.

He puts his shitass brother in there,

He really stood up to that jerk.

He reminded me. I forgot.

He said Jew washerwomen.

He said that?

He said that?

He said that.

He said that. Everything

He says Jimmy Blue Eyes and Meyer Lansky

He says, "Well, I'm an animal lover. I don't want to hurt it."

He sends a message to Jimmy's old friend, Dave Johnson.

He set him up. It was entrapment.

He shot at me, and it was like a pellet or something.

He should cash in that big pension of his.

He should relax.

He should remember that Joe Gallo liked to make a lot of fucking noise, too.

He should've picked me up himself. That's the point.

He shoved her?

He shoved her.

He shylocks and runs a book out of the joint.

He started giving me

He talked to Tony.

He was gonna drop me off,

He was great.

He was helping them make more money, live better lives.

He was known Downtown as "Joey the Blond",

He was Russell Bufalino's cousin.

He wasn't stomping on somebody's hand.

He went against everything and everybody. Just didn't give a shit.

He will be taking the Oath of Office shortly,

He won't need it.

He worked at Canada Dry for a long time.

He'd already been drinking,

He'll get the message.

He'll give you some paperwork in case you get stopped.

He's a cocksucker.

He's a cocksucker. Fitz is a cocksucker.

He's a little sick, but

He's a loyal guy, I'm sure.

He's a nice guy, but

He's a rat, but that's, you know.

He's a smart rat.

He's a wild kid. You gotta control him. If you don't,

He's also like a... He plays a lot of fucking golf.

He's an animal lover.

He's at the house.

He's at the house.

He's become a fucking eggplant.

He's dead? Who did it?

He's dead.

He's expecting you.

He's getting a better contract than our boy Jimmy.

He's here.

He's liable to say any fucking thing.

He's looking for cheap publicity. That's all it is. That's what he's doing.

He's not an easy man to please.

He's not dead, but he's going. He's going.

He's not even the damn president and he's holding up people's loans.

He's not gonna get it because...

He's out cold.

He's out of control.

He's running for office. It's all a show.

He's supposed to help with this shit.

He's taking them over.

He's the best. He's a good guy.

He's the president of the Teamsters Union with over a million members.

He's too emotional.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Here they are.

Here, you take the gas.

Here.

Hey, Father?

Hey, Frank,

Hey, Frank, come on.

Hey, Frank.

Hey. Look.

Hi, Frank.

Him and all the bullshit problems he put me through already.

Him and his wife Carrie and me and my wife Irene.

Him and Oswald. Two of a kind.

His bodyguard would be with him, and Joey himself could be carrying, too,

His children.

His ears ain't so big.

His kids killed him. I'll tell you that.
