[at Chinese restaurant] I like to think of myself as a fairly patient man, Frank. But when you start ordering chicken bao buns–
Let me translate. Twelve is vegetable spring rolls. Twenty is confit of pork. Fifty-three is crispy noodle chips, which I’ve ordered twice ’cause I’m quite partial to. And 69 you’ll find isn’t on the menu. For the simple reason that 69 isn’t a dish.
What is it, then?
It’s not a “what.” It’s a “who.” And here he is. [Sandy enters dining area and gets Frank into an headlock]
All right, all rightǃ
It’s all there, every pennyǃ [Sandy throws Frank to floor] Whoa!
Frank, why don’t you explain to the nice man this isn’t his money?
The money in that bag is owed to me. And what’s owed to me belongs to you. Sorry.
[Sandy grabs bag and Eddie grabs Sandy's wrist] Fucker... [calls phone] Hello, Susie. Just checking in to see how you’re doing. Well, it’s not going exactly to plan. [scenes of Eddie fighting Sandy]
So you gave him half a mil, now you’ve got nothing to show for it? Sounds a bit sloppy, if you don’t mind me saying. What’s the name of the guy that lent him the money?
I don’t know. He’s a large Chinese gentleman. She wants to talk to you. [hands Sandy phone]
Can I help you? Yeah, yeah. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah. All right. When you put it like that, it does have a bearing on the situation. With the greatest respect, Susie, that money’s a longstanding debt that needs to be repaid.
For fuck’s sake.
That’s very decent of you.If you can guarantee my money, I’ll give your man the address. Tell your father I’ll send him some buns. [hands Eddie back phone] You should’ve mentioned Susie Glass. She said she’ll meet you there.
