Fritzy: If I had, I owed my fuckin' money, I'd take all the rings, everything I got and I'd go and sell 'em and say, "Here, lemme pay my debts."
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: Who the fuck? What kinda? I'll tell ya one thing. The day I live and the day I die, when I die, nobody's gonna come and say, "The man owed me ten thousand. The man owed me two thousand." I ra, I will go to work before it ever comes.

Frank: You gotta be, you better believe that.
Fritzy: Yeah. No, to myself I used to say. I says, "Look at all this fuckin' bullshit." To myself, I know my conduct. And that's all I...
Frank: You got a heart of gold, Freddie.
Fritzy: No, pa, look. The heart is one thing.
Frank: You gotta heart of fuckin' gold.

Frank: Yeah, I know...
Fritzy: [In Italian, the face. The face] is more important.
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: In other words, [UI] they got [In Italian, the face of a whore]. They don't give a fuck one way or the other, "Well, yeah. Okay." I gotta have somebody belittle me.
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: And while I know I'm [UI], ya gotta know how to co, how to handle them people, you know what I mean? You know, that, that's their game. That's the way. "Alright, fine." There's just so much you, you do. And just so much that comes and reverse.
Frank: Right.
Fritzy: But this guy turned out to be a real lemonade.
Frank: Yeah?
Fritzy: And he, he abused his family, that dirty cocksucker. Not even his own sister's talkin' to him now.
Frank: No kiddin'?
Fritzy: Sure. He abused...
Frank: That how bad he is?
Fritzy: What?
Frank: That's how bad he is, huh?
Fritzy: You know how much money he took away from them? Have you any idea?
Frank: Hey, Freddie. A junkie and a degenerate gambler is the same thing.
Fritzy: Well, I'll tell ya something. I wanna, he, ya know, he, he, he, eh, ya know, eh, he just, he's out of line. He's way outta fuckin' line, this guy.
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: He's just outta line.
Frank: He don't gamble no more, huh?
Fritzy: Eh, he's a cocksucker. He turned around, nice, bullshittin', "Ah, I'm gonna, I'm sellin' over here and I'm goin' to Florida." "Oh, Florida's alright, huh?" He supposed to sell that place and pay his debts.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: Now he comes back, he says to me, "Oh, if I sell it there's only about 20,000 in there." "Yeah? Well then sell it to me, ya cocksucker,'' I says. I'd like to stick it in his ass.
Frank: Huh?
Fritzy: I'd like to stick it in his ass. "C'mon, we'll put it on the market. I'll send the guys in on the market price and see what you pull out with."
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: Uh, really.
Frank: Why don't you do it?
Fritzy: Nah, I'm gonna. I don't let him bullshit me. Fuck him.
Frank: Don't let him bullshit ya.
Fritzy: I'm not. I'm, I ain't gonna tolerate him no more.
Frank: If he's like that Freddie, don't let him fuckin' bullshit ya.
Fritzy: He's, that, that's the way he is. You know why?
Frank: Uh-huh?
Fritzy: The home, that's all I, I went by the, by his sister-in law [In Italian, dear departed soul] [UI] She said, "They all call me fuckin' nuts. I holler. I holler." He took his brother's business, he took his brother-in-law's fuckin' business. He took the, all them, them shares. He ate it and he gobbled it all up for himself, this dirty bastard.
Frank: [UI] huh?
Fritzy: Yeah.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: And he ate it all up for himself.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: Nice, nice, nice, nice. And then, I don't mind, never mind I don't mind that. And they were, they were getting' their handy pay, ya know?
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: Before you know it, they reduced it and reduced it. They reduced them to nothin'. He reduced them, ya know? Eh, this is a...
Frank: His brother's family.
Fritzy: What?
Frank: His brother's own family.
Fritzy: Yeah. Yeah. He don't talk to them across the street. He wishes they were never there. Yeah, I'll tell ya, the guy that made him make the fuckin' livin'. And I'm the guy that, ya know, I caught him, uh, ya know, doin' the Russki-Tushki there.
Frank: Yeah?
Fritzy: Goin' back.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: He made me go, [In Italian, dear departed soul] the brother made me go through all the papers, everything. Marone, what I didn't catch on this guy.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: I...
Frank: You caught 'em, huh?
Fritzy: Yeah. I says, "Tony." Wait, wait, wait. I says, "Tony." "I've been to this. I do that." "Tony, you wanna take my advice?" I says, "He's your brother. You'll make a big stink over here and you're gonna look bad yourself. The best you could do is you clip his wings, stay on top of him and from now on you'll watch and do whatever you gotta do, this, this and that. I stopped him from doin' a lot of things. I shouldn't have stopped him. When I think about it, ya know? And he corrected it and all of a sudden, Tony was gettin', like, double or triple what he used to get.
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: You know, uh, hey...
Frank: Uh-huh.
Fritzy: So if he could rob his brother then when he was alive, imagine after he died.
