[In the nursing home, where his mother lives]
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : I don't understand. All the money I put in this place, and my mother is getting picked on by the others. I want it stopped.
Nursing home supervisor : You'll have to excuse these girls. Sometimes they think it's a high school with wheelchairs.

Charles Cirillo : [after Paulie places a piece of luggage as a gift on his desk] That's a nice gesture, but I really can't...
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [interrupts him] Go on, I got lots of them: you can't insult me
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [after noticing his not wearing them] No more glasses
Charles Cirillo : [referring to the laser eye surgery] I had the LASIK
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Your face "cleared up" pretty good too, huh?
Charles Cirillo : [smiles] It "cleared up" in tenth grade
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [referring to the year in high school he dropped out] See, there you go, ninth was my last
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [referring to the nursing home] So, did your mom tell you I saw her over at Green Grove?
Charles Cirillo : [nods] Apparently she sees quite a bit of your mother
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : That's just it, they're both residents but there seems to be an exclusion. I don't blame your mother, I blame that Minnie Matrone. She's a malignant cunt, excuse me for saying so, she led your mother on and she don't even live there
Charles Cirillo : I'm not sure I understand?
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : I'm just asking you to talk to your ma: see if she can include my ma into the group
Charles Cirillo : it won't do much good, you know how these old gals are
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : All I'm trying to do is pay my ma back for when I was a kid and got into so much trouble. She "went to bat" for me how many times, with the nuns, with the store owners up and down thirteenth street, and let's face it, with the cops. All the bad I did, well, I'm still capable, even if I don't watch myself with all of that, she always had my back
Charles Cirillo : I'll talk to my ma, see what she says but like I said...
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [stands up and shakes his hand before leaving] Whatever you can do
Charles Cirillo : Take care, alright?
