[narrating voice over] There are a lot of guys in my neighborhood who would still be alive today if they'd just shut up and gone to bed the night before.

We're hosting Jimmy's wake tonight.
What?
Kate Farrell came by this morning. She wants the wake to be here.
Can I remind you that we killed her husband?
DDDerek 'Dokey' Farrell
[to Matthew] I know you're young, buddy. But you're still the man. So I don't wanna see you crying in here, okay? I don't have a son of my own, Matt. So I'm looking to you to make me proud. I want you to walk in there, standing tall with your head held high. It's the way you're daddy would've wanted it. And you're a Farrell! And Farrell's don't wear their hearts on their sleeves. Alright? Do you know what that means? Means you don't go showing the world how you feel. Keep it locked up real tight, right in here, okay? That way people can't take the good pieces away from you.
[voice over narration] There are a couple of things you need to know about the Irish. I forget the first. But the second thing is this: they don't believe that death is the end, they think it's about resurrection. And what is more life affirming than sex?
I always wanted to drive a cab.
Are you nuts? Twenty hours in a confined space being told what to do by the kind of people who can't even afford cars?
[narrating voice over] Even someone as good as Jenny Reilly couldn't start the day without lying.
What the hell are you doing here?
Hi Tommy, nice to see you. Look at Seany up and around.
What the hell are you doing here?
It's pay day. You got my money?
I told you already. You're not gonna get any money.
See... That's what you don't know yet. I am gonna get my money... by midnight tonight. And you're the one that's gonna be giving it to me.
Don't get near my mother or anyone of my family again, you understand me?
The way to avoid that... is to pay me my money.
You come here again, I'll kill you.
You know where to find me, kid. Just bring a handful of cash.
FDFather Dufelt
[approaching Jenny sitting in the pew] Okay you outlasted me, you won't come in I'll come to you.
Thanks Father, but I'm not here for confession.
FDFather Dufelt
You've been on your knees forty five minutes, I know a sin when I see one.
[voiceover narration] See the thing about telling lies is if you're good at it people don't know they're being lied to. So then the question is... can you live with the lies you tell?
We're gonna need some Scotch and a lot of it. But we're not gonna be able to pay for it just yet.
LSLiquor Store Owner
Get outta here.
I think you're gonna wanna give it to us.
LSLiquor Store Owner
Oh yeah? And why's that?
Because your daughter has a crush on Kevin. He's gonna date her if you don't.
[narrating] Me, I've always believed honesty is best served cold.
[narrating] See, here's the problem. Always trying to help people? It'll kill you. I mean it's worse than a disease. Tommy Donnelly was just beginning to figure that out.
Since when are you collecting bets for Louie Downtown?
Since I found his phone down here covered in his brains.
What do you think the Italians are gonna do when they find out you're collecting Louie's bets? Money that's supposed to be going to them.
To hell with the Italians. [picks up a gun] This is for Eddie Maxwell.
Jimmy? Jimmy, hey! You're gonna shoot Jimmy Maxwell for money he owes Louie Downtown?
It's my money! My money!
Come on, Jimmy.
[voice over narrating] Kevin introducing Jimmy to Whitey was gonna result in one of the most gruesome and violent deaths the neighborhood had ever seen. I mean what did Kevin know. He was only trying to help. Was Whitey gonna kill Jimmy or was Jimmy gonna kill Whitey?
DDetective
[voice over] So who killed who?
[voice over] When?
DDetective
[voice over] In the knife fight!
[voice over] Oh. That was later.
That's a lot of money.
Yeah.
Where'd you get it?
I already said in the bathroom.
Yeah, sure. I don't want your money.
It's not my money.
What did you do? What did you do to get that money? Something terrible, right?
If you don't want the money, Jenny, you can burn it.
