- [MAN.]
Here you go, guys.
- Thanks a lot, pal.

When I left Brooklyn, I never thought I'd get good pastrami again.
Are you kidding? Are you fucking kidding me? Who is it? Frank Rozanski.
Used to stalk me, remember? Oh.
Shit, yeah.
I remember him.
He used to break into your house.
And eat my peanut butter.
He used to rearrange your shoes.
- Shit.
You sure it's him? - Am I sure? After a guy sniffs your underwear, you don't forget his face.
I had to take out a restraining order on this fucking guy.
Should we tip outta here before he sees us? No, no, no, no.
Fuck him.
What, you think he don't know we're here? [BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING OVER P.
A.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
How you doing, Frank? Oh, my God.
Dice, what what what are you doing here? You've got some fucking pair of balls on you.
- What are you doing here? - No, my question is, the fuck are you doing here? - I-I work here.
- I know what you're doing.
You're stalking me.
Isn't that what you're doing here? No, I work here.
I I-I swear, I'm not I'm not stalking you.
I-I moved to Las Vegas, and I work here now.
Oh, yeah? You know that this is my borough.
You know that this is my favorite grocery with my favorite deli.
Dice, I swear I'm not that guy anymore, okay? And I am sorry for those things I did, but that's over.
Besides, you're jumping to a lot of conclusions here.
Yeah, I'm the one that batshit fucking crazy, but you're holding a box cutter, right? - Well, it it's for work.
- [WOMAN ON PA.]
Price check.
We need a price check on Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.
Oh.
That that's me.
Look, Dice, I'm not that guy anymore, okay? I got to go.
I'm warning you, Frank, stay 500 feet away from me.
Stay away from my family, Frank, - you fucking cocksucker! - O-okay.
How you doin'? - [DOOR OPENS.]
- Andrew, should we be worried? When the whole thing happened years ago, I had to take out a restraining order on this guy.
Yeah, but he says he's not stalking you anymore.
Carmen, well, what's he gonna say, "I am stalking you," "I'm going to waiting in the bathtub with a machete"? What the fuck is he Maybe he should ring the front bell.
Okay, if that's true, I'm calling the police right now.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't You don't get it.
In Brooklyn, you don't call police.
I'm pretty sure people in Brooklyn call the police.
No, not on these kind of things.
You handle it yourself.
I got brass knuckles.
That's all you need.
Okay.
I think I know what this is about.
Have you talked to Russell yet? Has there been any news? - News? - Yeah, like, is he doing his job? Is he getting you offers? You know? What's the next step in your career? I don't have time to worry about a career when we got to deal with an ex-stalker.
Sounds like you want him to try something on you.
No, no.
I'm the nicest guy in the world.
I'm just saying, if this guy comes for me, I'll be waiting.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING ON TV.]
[LOUD CLATTER AND RATTLING IN DISTANCE.]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE.]
All right.
[LAUGHS.]
Batter up.
[LEAVES RUSTLING.]
- [TOILET PAPER THUDS.]
- Jesus, Dice! You come to my place last night? No, I didn't.
- You didn't come to my place? - No.
Frankie, what gives? - You in, or you out? - In or out? What? [MUZAK PLAYING OVER P.
A.
.]
All right.
Meet me over there.
- I got to do this.
- I got to talk to you.
- Come over here.
- I'm [GROANS.]
You know, I can't figure you out.
I mean, where were you last night? All I did last night was stay at home and watch the playoffs.
- Oh, really? - Dice, I told you, I've moved on with that part of my life.
Frankie, it's me you're talking to, Dice, right? The subject of your relentless obsession.
That was forever ago.
I mean, I was going through some stuff.
All right? It was a weird time.
But I happened upon a very committed and affordable life coach, and together we worked through my issues, mainly those pertaining to my mother and my love of Catcher In the Rye and my irrational fear of Velcro.
I came to realize something, Dice.
I don't want to live in 1989 anymore.
Whoa, whoa.
What was wrong with 1989? I had homicidal tendencies.
I don't got to tell you.
You were there.
I was a mess.
But I evolved.
Evolved? Go ahead.
Enlighten me.
Enlighten me.
How did you evolve? Uh, I-I don't know, Dice.
I'm just a guy that works at Fields.
I enjoy cooking and watching anything with Kate McKinnon in it.
Do you like Kate McKinnon? - Who? - She's hilarious.
I'm kind of obsessed with her.
- I got to watch.
- [WOMAN ON P.
A.
.]
Price check.
Need a price check on Bush's Best Baked Beans.
Ah.
My work is never done.
Frank, what what happened to you? I got better.
Good to see you.
You got to see my shows these days.
- Okay.
- Beyond belief.
Frank, really, Kate McKinnon? I gotta go price check these beans.
It's not like I got to be here.
I'm the busy one.
I'm not gonna lie.
It's, uh, it's been slow.
Yeah, you're telling me.
Andrew's just sitting at home focusing on some stalker from 25 years ago.
Who? Don't tell me Frank Rozanski? Ha! No shit.
Well, how's old Frankie? How's old Frankie? He's working in a grocery right down the block from me, where I get my pastrami.
Ha! Yeah, that's classic Rozanski.
[LAUGHS.]
Man, that dude is crazy.
Like like, hanging all your pictures up and then and cut out all the eyeballs out crazy.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
Remember all the shit he used to send you? Yeah, it would come with my fan mail, right? It'd be, like, girls' panties, girls' panties, and then a knife through a cow's heart.
You were always getting panties in the mail.
What'd you do with all those panties? I got 'em all.
I keep it in storage.
Wait, that's why we're paying $200 a month for a storage unit? - [PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE.]
- [EXHALES.]
Can we just get back to talking about Andrew's career, please? Look, it's all good.
Dice is an icon.
- Icon.
- It's just gonna take a while for people to know that he's back on the market.
And besides, yesterday was Wednesday.
- Wednesday is a hump day and - Hump day.
So nobody makes calls on a Wednesday.
Okay, well, what about today? Do people make calls today? Today is Thursday, and Thursday is the new Friday, and and once Friday rolls around, everybody's working for the weekend.
- Yeah, great song.
[LAUGHS.]
- Good song.
[LAUGHS.]
[IMITATES GUITAR PLAYING.]
Russell is a terrible manager.
Terrible? He's the worst.
But I can't fire him.
I'm his only client.
If I fire him, he winds up doing construction full-time.
Listen, I know this is hard on you, but if you're not careful, you're gonna be doing construction with him.
Everything's gonna be fine, Carmen.
Hey, you wanted me to work on my career, right? Yeah.
I'm gonna build a career.
Let's see what we got.
I think this guy died.
This one, too.
Slept with her.
Sort of burnt that bridge.
I think I owe this guy a Chrysler LeBaron.
Oh, wait a minute.
Matt Dillon.
- Matt Dillon? I'll take that.
- No, no, no.
Sit down.
- Just give it to me.
- Sit Get outta here.
You win.
- Always looking to get me angry.
- [LAUGHS.]
Hey, I just got your message.
I had my phone off.
Why would you have your phone off? Oh, I was working.
I was finishing this, my movie script.
"Man With the Fingerless Glove.
" Killer title, Shake.
Swear to God, I though you were illiterate.
You wrote a script? Yeah, every since Dice told me about the fortune-teller and how we have no future, really put a fire under my ass.
Anyway, I based the lead role on you, and read it.
Let me know what you think about it.
- I can't read it.
- Wait, Andrew.
Why can't you read a script? All right.
This is showbiz talk.
You got to understand.
When somebody's as big as myself, you have no time to read it.
You understand? That's how it's supposed to be.
- Oh.
- Shake, if I read this script, it's like a "fuck you" to both of us, you follow? But congratulations.
Kid, welcome to Hollywood.
- Thanks.
- And if anybody asks, you're 2 months out from production.
Sort of gives the film momentum.
By the way, I heard we got a visit from Frank Rozanski.
No.
No, he's not someone that any of us need to spend another second thinking about.
Right, Andrew? You know, I think Carmen's right.
I think the guy's just trying to evolve.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it for a second.
- He's playing the long game.
- Oh, Jesus Christ, Milkshake, would you please not encourage him? Let the man talk.
What what what do you mean, he's playing the long game? People don't evolve like this degenerate would have you believe, okay? It's like my cousin Vinny.
- The movie? - What movie? "My Cousin Vinny.
" I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
I'm talking about my cousin Vinny on my mother's side.
He used to get off on flashing pregnant women.
All right? He'd open his coat.
There'd you'd be, shopping at the pickle store, all right? He was a nice guy otherwise.
It was a little compulsion of his, all right? He was 18 the first time he got caught.
They sent him upstate.
He turns 25, I get a letter.
Cousin Vinny's back out on the street.
First pregnant woman he sees, boom, pickle store is open for business again.
They send him back upstate [IMITATES ELECTRICAL BUZZ.]
They do that to him.
12 years later, he's back out on the street.
First pregnant woman he sees, what do you think happens? Boom! Pickle store's open for business.
Do you see what see where I'm going? - Yeah, I do.
- See where I'm going here? I know where I'm going.
I'm going to work.
Okay? I suggest you do the same.
Why don't you write a joke? - All right.
Yeah.
- Here.
She doesn't understand.
The pickle store is open for business.
- You got your car? - I got my car.
This is it.
The one with the flamingos.
How did you even track down this psycho's address? I got a friend with the Internet.
You wait here.
Let me go check things out.
- Shrewd move, Dice.
- Take that.
I want to know everything Frank Rozanski's been up to.
Frankie sure likes his Burger Hut.
I have two more receipts from Burger Hut.
Dice, look out.
Get down! Not too close, Shake.
Come on.
Where's this fucking guy going? Look at this guy.
The guy's just sittin' there, eatin' a burger, sippin' a Coke.
What is that? Maybe he knows we're tailing him.
No, no, no, no, no.
He don't know nothin'.
How's a guy go from being so obsessed to not being obsessed, you know? - It don't make sense to me.
- Hey, can I help you guys? With what? You're just lying behind a bush.
- It's weird.
- Yeah, so? I pay my taxes.
I paid for this place.
You didn't pay for Supplies N Demand.
If I want to sit behind a fucking bush, I'll sit behind a fucking bush.
- Are you Andrew Dice Clay? - No.
Are you sure? All right.
Yeah, so? Cool.
So what you been up to, new material or anything? What's the fucking difference what I'm up to? Would you just walk the fuck away? I'm doing somethin'.
We're not breaking any rules.
It's not after hours.
We're just two grown men sitting in the grass behind a bush in front of Supplies N Demand.
That's right.
So what's your fucking problem? No problem, just seeing what you guys were up to.
Well, now you know, so why don't you go inside and, what, sell a fucking desk or something? Get outta here.
Used to play your CD all the time.
Yeah? Good for you.
Fucking tough guy.
Get up.
Fuck this.
What are we doing here? This is ridiculous.
Guy's not obsessed with me.
Carmen's right.
He don't care no more.
He's forgotten all about me.
This is stupid.
- You see what I see? - Fuck, yeah, I see that.
He's wearing the "Dice Rules" 1989 tour jacket.
I knew he was fucking up to something.
Yeah.
I got you, motherfucker.
[LOWERED VOICE.]
Come on.
Come on.
You sure about this? Act natural, like we belong.
We're just hanging out, walking around.
[CREAKING.]
Help me.
You're all right.
You're all right.
You got it.
- [THUD.]
- Uhh! The fuck is this guy up to? - [SPRITZES.]
- [SNIFFS.]
Hey, Dice.
You better check this out.
What? What? That's Intimately Beckham.
- So? - No, it's not that.
- It's everywhere.
[SNIFFS.]
- Okay, so? He puts this cologne on everything.
See? His underwear? [SNIFFS.]
You know, I got to tell you.
Nice aroma.
Dice! The fuck are you doing? - It - [DRAWER CLOSES.]
It's not what you think, Frank.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
It looks to my like you're sniffing my underwear.
Don't Tell him Don't try to turn this around on me.
I know you still got a hard-on for me.
I don't have a hard-on for you.
Oh, really? [CHUCKLES.]
Then why you still wearing my tour jacket? I'll tell you why.
Because you can't let it go.
No! Because it's a nice jacket.
Now, please, I just wanna be left alone.
Okay.
I'll admit, man to man, I might have sniffed your underwear.
But I know you're still obsessed with me.
And if you don't back off, I'm going to unleash the works on you.
Do you understand that? Let's get outta here, Shake.
I think you get my point.
- Okay.
- We're leaving.
[SNIFFS.]
Just to be clear, Dice is leaving now because it's late, and he's got to go home.
But, you know, he's not We're leaving your house physically, - but in a larger - He knows what we mean.
- Okay, all right.
- You understand, right, Frank? Yeah, I know exactly what you said.
- Good.
Don't - You're nuts! Keep your jacket, Frankie.
I got I got a hat.
You got a jacket.
I got a hat.
Look at me now.
Get out! Fuck! [SIGHS.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How was your day? - Pretty good, pretty good.
Anything interesting happen? I was at the candy store.
- Oh, that's it? - Milkshake.
Ah.
Yeah, why are there two police officers - sitting in our kitchen? - What? Ah, there he is.
I'm Detective Beyer.
- This is Detective Cavanaugh.
- We are huge fans.
- Yeah.
- Could I get a picture? Oh, yeah, come on.
Please, please, please.
So, uh, this is a tough break, Dice, but, uh, we're here to serve you a restraining order.
- Restraining order? - [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Oh, yeah.
By court order, you are hereby required to stay at least 500 feet away from one Francis Rozanski or be subject to fines and incarceration.
- What - Ah.
Do you mind if I get a picture, too? Please? Oh, that'd be great.
Thank you.
Yeah, right over here.
Please, please.
- Right there.
Right there.
- What? [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Oh, that's great.
Thank you so much.
No, you you guys don't get it.
He's the sicko.
He's the sicko, not me.
Look, I got proof.
[SNIFFS.]
Intimately Beckham! - You stole the man's underwear? - Look, I'm sorry, Dice, but according to the State of Nevada, that sicko has been rehabilitated.
And he has the same rights as anyone else.
Look.
You want our advice? Stay the fuck away from the guy.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING.]
Frankie.
Hey, what are you doing? It's me, Dice.
I just want to talk, Frank.
Okay.
Uh, cool.
Uh, give me a sec, okay? Yeah, sure.
No problem.
[CHAIN LOCK CLACKS.]
No, no, no, no.
- Frank! - Aah! - Uhh! - I just wanna talk! [GRUNTING.]
Want to talk! Relax! - I'm not gonna hurt you.
- You promise? - Yes.
- Do you promise? - I promise.
- [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- Are you fucking stupid? You could have choked me to death.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Look, I know I brought this on myself.
But you could have gave me a heads-up on the restraining order.
Did you give me a heads-up when you filed a restraining order on me? You were trying to stuff me in a trash compactor.
It's different.
- Yeah.
- I got to tell ya, you know, hanging with you again, it makes me feel like my old self, you know? - I get that.
- [INHALES SHARPLY.]
[SIGHS.]
Maybe it's time we move on, though? This way, I can come into Fields and get my pastrami the way I need it.
Nice and fatty, served on rye, extra mustard.
- You remembered.
- I remember a lot.
- The smell of your socks.
- Oh, my socks? I never bought a sock under 200 thread, - just for your information.
- I loved that about you.
Hey Can I show you something? This is a set of yours from the store in 1984 that I recorded.
- Really? - It was one of those early sets.
There was so much energy in the room.
I mean, it'll make the hair on your arms stand up.
- Wow.
- And, uh it was one of those nights, never heard before, never heard again.
And, uh I thought you'd like to have it.
Wow.
You'll always have a shrine to me, won't you, Frankie? Actually, I was just cleaning out these storage boxes.
Let's not, uh, ruin a great moment.
Okay.
[HORN HONKS.]
[TAPE PLAYER CLACKS.]
[LAUGHTER.]
[DICE.]
But I love tits.
Tits are wonderful.
[LAUGHTER.]
You see, what a tit actually is, for those of you that don't know, it's like a big bowl of Jell-O with a layer of skin over it.
[WOMAN LAUGHS.]
And the magic of these things are, is you touch 'em, and they shake.
And you get a hard-on.
[LAUGHS.]
You learn to adapt to the hard-on.
You learn to control it, especially that morning hard-on.
I'll put that up against a fucking Ginsu knife any day, - you know? - [LAUGHING.]
Yeah, it'll dice.
It'll slice.
It'll make fucking julienne potatoes, yeah.
- [RECORDING STOPS.]
- [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
It was really funny.
I got in so much trouble for this shit.
[LAUGHS.]
It's crazy.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Babe, I don't know what's going on with me.
You know I was never worried for one moment of my life, ever.
And here I am, listening to this 20-something-year-old kid 30-some-odd years ago, and I'm thinking, like, where'd he go? Where the fuck did he go? Does he sound worried? That kid he was unbelievable.
And I know that, Carmen, because I was that guy.
Why are you laughing? Are you serious? I'm listening to that kid, and I'm hearing a Dice that doesn't know shit.
You think he's walking around 'cause he's so confident.
It's because he's terrified inside.
But you, Andrew, you faced life.
And you know my boobs aren't Jell-O, right? [CLANK.]
[ELECTRICITY POWERS DOWN.]
[SWITCH CLICKS.]
I walk up to heaven or hell And break down the gates Mm-hmm, mm-hmm And if the Devil got something to sell I won't ask for change Mm-hmm, mm-hmm 'Cause, babe, I'm looking around Ain't a man here worth the crown I'm a warrior I'm a warrior This war was made for a warrior Ain't no pain if you look ahead - Eyes locked on the trains - Mm-hmm

That's everything I wanted.
Wonderful.

Good idea.
[CY DUNE.]
Dig, dig, dig They leave your secrets in the sand Yeah, so she says to me that she don't see anything for me in my future.
Shit.
If there's nothing for you, what does that mean for me? [SCOFFS.]
It means you better worry, Shake.
- This affects the both of us.
- [MAN.]
Here you go, guys.
- Thanks a lot, pal.
- You got it.
When I left Brooklyn, I never thought I'd get good pastrami again.
Are you kidding? Are you fucking kidding me? Who is it? Frank Rozanski.
Used to stalk me, remember? Oh.
Shit, yeah.
I remember him.
He used to break into your house.
And eat my peanut butter.
He used to rearrange your shoes.
- Shit.
You sure it's him? - Am I sure? After a guy sniffs your underwear, you don't forget his face.
I had to take out a restraining order on this fucking guy.
Should we tip outta here before he sees us? No, no, no, no.
Fuck him.
What, you think he don't know we're here? [BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING OVER P.
A.
.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
How you doing, Frank? Oh, my God.
Dice, what what what are you doing here? You've got some fucking pair of balls on you.
- What are you doing here? - No, my question is, the fuck are you doing here? - I-I work here.
- I know what you're doing.
You're stalking me.
Isn't that what you're doing here? No, I work here.
I I-I swear, I'm not I'm not stalking you.
I-I moved to Las Vegas, and I work here now.
Oh, yeah? You know that this is my borough.
You know that this is my favorite grocery with my favorite deli.
Dice, I swear I'm not that guy anymore, okay? And I am sorry for those things I did, but that's over.
Besides, you're jumping to a lot of conclusions here.
Yeah, I'm the one that batshit fucking crazy, but you're holding a box cutter, right? - Well, it it's for work.
- [WOMAN ON PA.]
Price check.
We need a price check on Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.
Oh.
That that's me.
Look, Dice, I'm not that guy anymore, okay? I got to go.
I'm warning you, Frank, stay 500 feet away from me.
Stay away from my family, Frank, - you fucking cocksucker! - O-okay.
How you doin'? - [DOOR OPENS.]
- Andrew, should we be worried? When the whole thing happened years ago, I had to take out a restraining order on this guy.
Yeah, but he says he's not stalking you anymore.
Carmen, well, what's he gonna say, "I am stalking you," "I'm going to waiting in the bathtub with a machete"? What the fuck is he Maybe he should ring the front bell.
Okay, if that's true, I'm calling the police right now.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't You don't get it.
In Brooklyn, you don't call police.
I'm pretty sure people in Brooklyn call the police.
No, not on these kind of things.
You handle it yourself.
I got brass knuckles.
That's all you need.
Okay.
I think I know what this is about.
Have you talked to Russell yet? Has there been any news? - News? - Yeah, like, is he doing his job? Is he getting you offers? You know? What's the next step in your career? I don't have time to worry about a career when we got to deal with an ex-stalker.
Sounds like you want him to try something on you.
No, no.
I'm the nicest guy in the world.
I'm just saying, if this guy comes for me, I'll be waiting.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING ON TV.]
[LOUD CLATTER AND RATTLING IN DISTANCE.]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE.]
All right.
[LAUGHS.]
Batter up.
[LEAVES RUSTLING.]
- [TOILET PAPER THUDS.]
- Jesus, Dice! You come to my place last night? No, I didn't.
- You didn't come to my place? - No.
Frankie, what gives? - You in, or you out? - In or out? What? [MUZAK PLAYING OVER P.
A.
.]
All right.
Meet me over there.
- I got to do this.
- I got to talk to you.
- Come over here.
- I'm [GROANS.]
You know, I can't figure you out.
I mean, where were you last night? All I did last night was stay at home and watch the playoffs.
- Oh, really? - Dice, I told you, I've moved on with that part of my life.
Frankie, it's me you're talking to, Dice, right? The subject of your relentless obsession.
That was forever ago.
I mean, I was going through some stuff.
All right? It was a weird time.
But I happened upon a very committed and affordable life coach, and together we worked through my issues, mainly those pertaining to my mother and my love of Catcher In the Rye and my irrational fear of Velcro.
I came to realize something, Dice.
I don't want to live in 1989 anymore.
Whoa, whoa.
What was wrong with 1989? I had homicidal tendencies.
I don't got to tell you.
You were there.
I was a mess.
But I evolved.
Evolved? Go ahead.
Enlighten me.
Enlighten me.
How did you evolve? Uh, I-I don't know, Dice.
I'm just a guy that works at Fields.
I enjoy cooking and watching anything with Kate McKinnon in it.
Do you like Kate McKinnon? - Who? - She's hilarious.
I'm kind of obsessed with her.
- I got to watch.
- [WOMAN ON P.
A.
.]
Price check.
Need a price check on Bush's Best Baked Beans.
Ah.
My work is never done.
Frank, what what happened to you? I got better.
Good to see you.
You got to see my shows these days.
- Okay.
- Beyond belief.
Frank, really, Kate McKinnon? I gotta go price check these beans.
It's not like I got to be here.
I'm the busy one.
I'm not gonna lie.
It's, uh, it's been slow.
Yeah, you're telling me.
Andrew's just sitting at home focusing on some stalker from 25 years ago.
Who? Don't tell me Frank Rozanski? Ha! No shit.
Well, how's old Frankie? How's old Frankie? He's working in a grocery right down the block from me, where I get my pastrami.
Ha! Yeah, that's classic Rozanski.
[LAUGHS.]
Man, that dude is crazy.
Like like, hanging all your pictures up and then and cut out all the eyeballs out crazy.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
Remember all the shit he used to send you? Yeah, it would come with my fan mail, right? It'd be, like, girls' panties, girls' panties, and then a knife through a cow's heart.
You were always getting panties in the mail.
What'd you do with all those panties? I got 'em all.
I keep it in storage.
Wait, that's why we're paying $200 a month for a storage unit? - [PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE.]
- [EXHALES.]
Can we just get back to talking about Andrew's career, please? Look, it's all good.
Dice is an icon.
- Icon.
- It's just gonna take a while for people to know that he's back on the market.
And besides, yesterday was Wednesday.
- Wednesday is a hump day and - Hump day.
So nobody makes calls on a Wednesday.
Okay, well, what about today? Do people make calls today? Today is Thursday, and Thursday is the new Friday, and and once Friday rolls around, everybody's working for the weekend.
- Yeah, great song.
[LAUGHS.]
- Good song.
[LAUGHS.]
[IMITATES GUITAR PLAYING.]
Russell is a terrible manager.
Terrible? He's the worst.
But I can't fire him.
I'm his only client.
If I fire him, he winds up doing construction full-time.
Listen, I know this is hard on you, but if you're not careful, you're gonna be doing construction with him.
Everything's gonna be fine, Carmen.
Hey, you wanted me to work on my career, right? Yeah.
I'm gonna build a career.
Let's see what we got.
I think this guy died.
This one, too.
Slept with her.
Sort of burnt that bridge.
I think I owe this guy a Chrysler LeBaron.
Oh, wait a minute.
Matt Dillon.
- Matt Dillon? I'll take that.
- No, no, no.
Sit down.
- Just give it to me.
- Sit Get outta here.
You win.
- Always looking to get me angry.
- [LAUGHS.]
Hey, I just got your message.
I had my phone off.
Why would you have your phone off? Oh, I was working.
I was finishing this, my movie script.
"Man With the Fingerless Glove.
" Killer title, Shake.
Swear to God, I though you were illiterate.
You wrote a script? Yeah, every since Dice told me about the fortune-teller and how we have no future, really put a fire under my ass.
Anyway, I based the lead role on you, and read it.
Let me know what you think about it.
- I can't read it.
- Wait, Andrew.
Why can't you read a script? All right.
This is showbiz talk.
You got to understand.
When somebody's as big as myself, you have no time to read it.
You understand? That's how it's supposed to be.
- Oh.
- Shake, if I read this script, it's like a "fuck you" to both of us, you follow? But congratulations.
Kid, welcome to Hollywood.
- Thanks.
- And if anybody asks, you're 2 months out from production.
Sort of gives the film momentum.
By the way, I heard we got a visit from Frank Rozanski.
No.
No, he's not someone that any of us need to spend another second thinking about.
Right, Andrew? You know, I think Carmen's right.
I think the guy's just trying to evolve.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it for a second.
- He's playing the long game.
- Oh, Jesus Christ, Milkshake, would you please not encourage him? Let the man talk.
What what what do you mean, he's playing the long game? People don't evolve like this degenerate would have you believe, okay? It's like my cousin Vinny.
- The movie? - What movie? "My Cousin Vinny.
" I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
I'm talking about my cousin Vinny on my mother's side.
He used to get off on flashing pregnant women.
All right? He'd open his coat.
There'd you'd be, shopping at the pickle store, all right? He was a nice guy otherwise.
It was a little compulsion of his, all right? He was 18 the first time he got caught.
They sent him upstate.
He turns 25, I get a letter.
Cousin Vinny's back out on the street.
First pregnant woman he sees, boom, pickle store is open for business again.
They send him back upstate [IMITATES ELECTRICAL BUZZ.]
They do that to him.
12 years later, he's back out on the street.
First pregnant woman he sees, what do you think happens? Boom! Pickle store's open for business.
Do you see what see where I'm going? - Yeah, I do.
- See where I'm going here? I know where I'm going.
I'm going to work.
Okay? I suggest you do the same.
Why don't you write a joke? - All right.
Yeah.
- Here.
She doesn't understand.
The pickle store is open for business.
- You got your car? - I got my car.
This is it.
The one with the flamingos.
How did you even track down this psycho's address? I got a friend with the Internet.
You wait here.
Let me go check things out.
- Shrewd move, Dice.
- Take that.
I want to know everything Frank Rozanski's been up to.
Frankie sure likes his Burger Hut.
I have two more receipts from Burger Hut.
Dice, look out.
Get down! Not too close, Shake.
Come on.
Where's this fucking guy going? Look at this guy.
The guy's just sittin' there, eatin' a burger, sippin' a Coke.
What is that? Maybe he knows we're tailing him.
No, no, no, no, no.
He don't know nothin'.
How's a guy go from being so obsessed to not being obsessed, you know? - It don't make sense to me.
- Hey, can I help you guys? With what? You're just lying behind a bush.
- It's weird.
- Yeah, so? I pay my taxes.
I paid for this place.
You didn't pay for Supplies N Demand.
If I want to sit behind a fucking bush, I'll sit behind a fucking bush.
- Are you Andrew Dice Clay? - No.
Are you sure? All right.
Yeah, so? Cool.
So what you been up to, new material or anything? What's the fucking difference what I'm up to? Would you just walk the fuck away? I'm doing somethin'.
We're not breaking any rules.
It's not after hours.
We're just two grown men sitting in the grass behind a bush in front of Supplies N Demand.
That's right.
So what's your fucking problem? No problem, just seeing what you guys were up to.
Well, now you know, so why don't you go inside and, what, sell a fucking desk or something? Get outta here.
Used to play your CD all the time.
Yeah? Good for you.
Fucking tough guy.
Get up.
Fuck this.
What are we doing here? This is ridiculous.
Guy's not obsessed with me.
Carmen's right.
He don't care no more.
He's forgotten all about me.
This is stupid.
- You see what I see? - Fuck, yeah, I see that.
He's wearing the "Dice Rules" 1989 tour jacket.
I knew he was fucking up to something.
Yeah.
I got you, motherfucker.
[LOWERED VOICE.]
Come on.
Come on.
You sure about this? Act natural, like we belong.
We're just hanging out, walking around.
[CREAKING.]
Help me.
You're all right.
You're all right.
You got it.
- [THUD.]
- Uhh! The fuck is this guy up to? - [SPRITZES.]
- [SNIFFS.]
Hey, Dice.
You better check this out.
What? What? That's Intimately Beckham.
- So? - No, it's not that.
- It's everywhere.
[SNIFFS.]
- Okay, so? He puts this cologne on everything.
See? His underwear? [SNIFFS.]
You know, I got to tell you.
Nice aroma.
Dice! The fuck are you doing? - It - [DRAWER CLOSES.]
It's not what you think, Frank.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
It looks to my like you're sniffing my underwear.
Don't Tell him Don't try to turn this around on me.
I know you still got a hard-on for me.
I don't have a hard-on for you.
Oh, really? [CHUCKLES.]
Then why you still wearing my tour jacket? I'll tell you why.
Because you can't let it go.
No! Because it's a nice jacket.
Now, please, I just wanna be left alone.
Okay.
I'll admit, man to man, I might have sniffed your underwear.
But I know you're still obsessed with me.
And if you don't back off, I'm going to unleash the works on you.
Do you understand that? Let's get outta here, Shake.
I think you get my point.
- Okay.
- We're leaving.
[SNIFFS.]
Just to be clear, Dice is leaving now because it's late, and he's got to go home.
But, you know, he's not We're leaving your house physically, - but in a larger - He knows what we mean.
- Okay, all right.
- You understand, right, Frank? Yeah, I know exactly what you said.
- Good.
Don't - You're nuts! Keep your jacket, Frankie.
I got I got a hat.
You got a jacket.
I got a hat.
Look at me now.
Get out! Fuck! [SIGHS.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How was your day? - Pretty good, pretty good.
Anything interesting happen? I was at the candy store.
- Oh, that's it? - Milkshake.
Ah.
Yeah, why are there two police officers - sitting in our kitchen? - What? Ah, there he is.
I'm Detective Beyer.
- This is Detective Cavanaugh.
- We are huge fans.
- Yeah.
- Could I get a picture? Oh, yeah, come on.
Please, please, please.
So, uh, this is a tough break, Dice, but, uh, we're here to serve you a restraining order.
- Restraining order? - [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Oh, yeah.
By court order, you are hereby required to stay at least 500 feet away from one Francis Rozanski or be subject to fines and incarceration.
- What - Ah.
Do you mind if I get a picture, too? Please? Oh, that'd be great.
Thank you.
Yeah, right over here.
Please, please.
- Right there.
Right there.
- What? [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Oh, that's great.
Thank you so much.
No, you you guys don't get it.
He's the sicko.
He's the sicko, not me.
Look, I got proof.
[SNIFFS.]
Intimately Beckham! - You stole the man's underwear? - Look, I'm sorry, Dice, but according to the State of Nevada, that sicko has been rehabilitated.
And he has the same rights as anyone else.
Look.
You want our advice? Stay the fuck away from the guy.
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING.]
Frankie.
Hey, what are you doing? It's me, Dice.
I just want to talk, Frank.
Okay.
Uh, cool.
Uh, give me a sec, okay? Yeah, sure.
No problem.
[CHAIN LOCK CLACKS.]
No, no, no, no.
- Frank! - Aah! - Uhh! - I just wanna talk! [GRUNTING.]
Want to talk! Relax! - I'm not gonna hurt you.
- You promise? - Yes.
- Do you promise? - I promise.
- [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- Are you fucking stupid? You could have choked me to death.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Look, I know I brought this on myself.
But you could have gave me a heads-up on the restraining order.
Did you give me a heads-up when you filed a restraining order on me? You were trying to stuff me in a trash compactor.
It's different.
- Yeah.
- I got to tell ya, you know, hanging with you again, it makes me feel like my old self, you know? - I get that.
- [INHALES SHARPLY.]
[SIGHS.]
Maybe it's time we move on, though? This way, I can come into Fields and get my pastrami the way I need it.
Nice and fatty, served on rye, extra mustard.
- You remembered.
- I remember a lot.
- The smell of your socks.
- Oh, my socks? I never bought a sock under 200 thread, - just for your information.
- I loved that about you.
Hey Can I show you something? This is a set of yours from the store in 1984 that I recorded.
- Really? - It was one of those early sets.
There was so much energy in the room.
I mean, it'll make the hair on your arms stand up.
- Wow.
- And, uh it was one of those nights, never heard before, never heard again.
And, uh I thought you'd like to have it.
Wow.
You'll always have a shrine to me, won't you, Frankie? Actually, I was just cleaning out these storage boxes.
Let's not, uh, ruin a great moment.
Okay.
[HORN HONKS.]
[TAPE PLAYER CLACKS.]
[LAUGHTER.]
[DICE.]
But I love tits.
Tits are wonderful.
[LAUGHTER.]
You see, what a tit actually is, for those of you that don't know, it's like a big bowl of Jell-O with a layer of skin over it.
[WOMAN LAUGHS.]
And the magic of these things are, is you touch 'em, and they shake.
And you get a hard-on.
[LAUGHS.]
You learn to adapt to the hard-on.
You learn to control it, especially that morning hard-on.
I'll put that up against a fucking Ginsu knife any day, - you know? - [LAUGHING.]
Yeah, it'll dice.
It'll slice.
It'll make fucking julienne potatoes, yeah.
- [RECORDING STOPS.]
- [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
It was really funny.
I got in so much trouble for this shit.
[LAUGHS.]
It's crazy.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Babe, I don't know what's going on with me.
You know I was never worried for one moment of my life, ever.
And here I am, listening to this 20-something-year-old kid 30-some-odd years ago, and I'm thinking, like, where'd he go? Where the fuck did he go? Does he sound worried? That kid he was unbelievable.
And I know that, Carmen, because I was that guy.
Why are you laughing? Are you serious? I'm listening to that kid, and I'm hearing a Dice that doesn't know shit.
You think he's walking around 'cause he's so confident.
It's because he's terrified inside.
But you, Andrew, you faced life.
And you know my boobs aren't Jell-O, right? [CLANK.]
[ELECTRICITY POWERS DOWN.]
[SWITCH CLICKS.]
I walk up to heaven or hell And break down the gates Mm-hmm, mm-hmm And if the Devil got something to sell I won't ask for change Mm-hmm, mm-hmm 'Cause, babe, I'm looking around Ain't a man here worth the crown I'm a warrior I'm a warrior This war was made for a warrior Ain't no pain if you look ahead - Eyes locked on the trains - Mm-hmm
