Fritzy: The point, the point is this here, like you said. It's the best thing that coulda happened because...

Frank: No good. Ya know why?
Fritzy: I'll tell you why. Because maybe he's a little...
Frank: He don't get his proper rest.
Fritzy: You wanna know somethin', maybe he's a little nervous over it.
Frank: Too much stress.
Fritzy: You understand what I'm sayin'? Maybe he's, he like, he likes the idea and then he don't like the idea.
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: So maybe, you know, ya, you follow what I'm sayin'. So maybe it's, it's botherin' him a little bit.
Frank: Mike the Whistler came down last night.

Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: And?
Frank: And the way he says, he don't need nothin', you're alright and this and that. To me this guy is a [Italian].
Fritzy: Yeah.
Frank: You ever see this guy drink?
Fritzy: Hey, look, you know somethin'? We had a lot of doctors that didn't mean, ya know what I told 'em, ya know what I told 'em while we were playin'? I says, "Lemme tell you somethin'. My father's medicine, he used to take the brandy. And he used to take the whattya call it? He didn't wanna listen. But that was because all the other med, with medicines, they kill ya. They kill ya. You keep taking this, which they do." I says, "Leave California alone, let him drink." I swear to God. I told him that last night.
Frank: What he say?
Fritzy: I says, "Leave California and let him drink."
Frank: What he say?
Fritzy: He laughed. He, he started laughin'.
