I thought there were elements that could be improved.
I mean, where was my ball busting? -And fridge banging! I need to make them more frightened of me.
-Exactly.
Oh God, I don't know if I can.
Now this is dynamite, Whoopi.

Tell me, why did you leave the escort business? It's too seasonal.
-I didn't know that.
Is Christmas the peak? Christmas? Christmas is madness! Everybody buying each other last minute prostitutes.
You had movie star clients? -Sure.
What kind of thing do movie stars like? Weird stuff? They love the weird stuff.
The stuff they love is so weird.
This is very funny, Whoopi.
I was speaking to some very good friends of mine Mr Charlie Sheen, Mr Jack Nicholson, Mr Bobby De Niro They never heard of you.
Well how can that be? I heard of them! You think we're stupid, huh? No van tonight, you're on your own.
You must be scared.
What do you know? You know about Columbia? You know about our friends in mainland China? -I don't understand.
You don't understand, cop? We'll make you understand! Sit down cop, I've got this thing in my head.
I swear on my mother's meatballs here I ain't no cop, okay? Don't say that again! Ever! Ever! Ever! -Hey British cop, drop the accent 'cause I swear to God this thing in my head is gonna explode! -Explode? Explode?! You want explode? Do British cops shoot people? Do they? Louie? -No! Successive home secretaries have rejected the idea.
Frog you! You froggin' with me?! I can make you richer that Donald froggin' Trump! You in or out? You froggin' frogs! We're in Whoopi, we're in! Hello Sir? There's been a hiccup.
Singing nervously.
Okay, it's sorted.
Now you just carry on as if nothing's happened.
That is what I'm doing.
My mum says that when things go horribly wrong just carry on as normal, and that'll see you through.
So could you please get rid of that dead body in my kitchen because I would like to lay my table for breakfast, thank you.
I'll take care of all of this.
You go and check into a hotel, okay? I mean, he was a gangster, wasn't he? It's not like I've killed Cliff Richard or anything.
You're going to miss being Whoopi, aren't ya? -Oh yeah, it's been a real holiday.
It's not every day I get to kill people.
-Relax, you were just doing your duty.
Remember your cue? Our business is complete.
Good luck.
I'll see you when it's over.
Whoopi.
Gentlemen.
Merchandise okay? Most satisfactory.
My contribution.
D'you know who this lady is? Then I don't think you need to count it.
Well gentlemen I think our business is complete.
Stay where you are! Don't move! Jesus Christ.
-It's a set up! -Oh, what bad luck.
In the end the right result, Guv.
Let me go! I'm an American citizen! Just kidding.
Unhand me you wicked Limey.
What are you doing? What are you doing? Well done mate.
Good work son.
It must've been Tony.
Who else, huh? He must've made a deal with the cops.
God damn little psycho.
Look, we'll make it up to you Whoopi.
I swear.
I wish he was alive so I could kill him.
I don't know what you're playing at but I've missed six rehearsals of the Scottish play, I've got two men at home who can't even boil an egg and I've got a poodle desperately in need of a clip.
You succeeded all my wildest dreams.
I've got Mikey, Louie, and Whoopi Stone.
There is no Whoopi Stone! -Oh yes there is.
She killed Tony La Paglia.
I caught her.
I got the murder weapon, prints, it's perfect.
Don't look so worried.
Gangster kills gangster.
You'll get 10 years at most.
Now don't you get funny with me young Neil.
When I get in that courtroom, I'm going tell everybody what happened.
Oh yeah? -Yeah! You're going to stand in front of Mikey and Louie and tell them you're a copper? You'll have every hit man in New York heading for your village.
You're Whoopi now.
Forever.
There's no turning back.
What are you saying? I'll never see my family again? You don't need them.
Not now.
You're a star.
The woman who killed Public Enemy number 1.
Whoopi Stone.
You've turned yourself into a legend.
Now that takes talent.
Well, it's something you're born with I suppose.
I want my dog! -Never found a body, they didn't.
Lost at sea.
Medal of honour, that is.
For services to the force.
What was she doing on the boat then? -Training course I believe.
What? In traffic control? Gets quite busy, the sea.
Whoopi Stone, I sentence you to 10 years.
Then she says 'explode, you want explode?' and she picks up my piece and Wham! She wastes the guy.
What a woman! -I know, I grew up with her, we dated.
Gentlemen.
Welcome home, Miss Stone.
Remember Gene? -Where is she? Gene Kauffman? We saw Saturday Night Fever together.
-Sure We didn't see much of it hej Gene.
-You bet.
It's my pleasure to do this job for you Whoopi.
You take care of business good Gene, okay? I will.
See you guys.
Oh and Gene.
Have a big full British breakfast on me, huh.
Oh and Gene.
Hold the black pudding.
I guess you kind of miss England, huh? Sometimes I think I shoulda got me a bungalow.
You know, this bungalow? It's like a little short house.
In the countryside, you know.
Some place like Worcestershire.
Or Hertfordshire.
Or Berkshire.
Some place like that, you know? Could have got a husband, and a kid.
And a dog.
Doesn't sound like Madam Whoopi, queen of New York.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right! Hey Mikey.
-Yeah.
You got the address? -Sure.
-Hey guys let's go and kill some people.
