（单词翻译:单击）

Costello: Do you know who I am?

Billy: No.

Costello: You met my friend Mr. French the other night.

Billy: Is his real name Mr. French?

Costello: No. Come with me. I'm not the cops. Not asking you. You know something? They just do not stop having the Maffia in Providence1! And this can cause me a lot of problems. Those guys you tuned3 up, they're connected down Providence. What they're gonna do is come back with some guys and kill you. Which - as sure as you were born - they will do. Unless I stop them. Do you want me to stop 'em?

Billy: Is this something I can't do personally?

Costello: I'm gonna have my associate search you.

Billy: No! No one's fuckin' searchin' me. Searchin' me for what?

Costello: Contra-fuckin-band. Take your shoes off!

French: Shoes.

Costello: I knew your father.

Billy: Yeah? Do you know he's dead?

Costello: Oh sorry. How did he go?

Billy: He didn't complain.

Costello: Yeah, that was his problem.

Billy: Who said he had a problem?

Costello: I just said he had a fuckin' problem. He was a man who could have been anything.

Billy: Are you trying to say that he was nothing?

Costello: I'm sayin' he worked at the airport.

French: He's clean.

Costello: Arm.

French: Yeah. Come on.

Costello: What fuckin' arm.

French: Show me your arm. Flip4 it.

Costello: Makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood.

French: He's clean.

Costello: And if I can slander5 my own environment. It makes me sad, this regression. Plus I don't know if it is beyond some fuckin' cop prick6 like Queenan to pull you out of the Staties and send you after me. I just can't know. I don't know what they do in that particular department anyway. Are you still a cop?

Billy: No! No!

Costello: Swear on your mother's grave! You're still not a cop?

Billy: No, I'm not a fuckin' cop! No!

Costello: Are you gonna stop doing coke deals with your jerk-off fuckin' cousin?

Billy: Yes, yes, yes!

Costello: All right, all right, all right. You're ok, you'll be ok. Get your hand taken care of. I'm sorry. It was necessary.

妙语佳句，活学活用

1. Tune2 up

Tune up 的本意是"调音，调整，调节"，这里引申为"惹到，教训"。

2. Clean

Clean 在这里是个俚语，指的是"没有携带隐藏起来的武器的"。作为俚语用时，它还可以表示"没有携带隐藏的毒品的；无罪的；没有毒瘾的"。

3. Coke

我们常常听到老美把可乐叫成coke，但这里的coke 可不是"可乐"的意思，它表示的是毒品的一种：可卡因（呈白色晶体状，兴奋作用强）。其它常见毒品的俚语表达有：

pills: 药丸，但在俚语中指的是"安非他明"，一种强力兴奋剂
crack: 快克（一种经过高度化学提纯的可卡因药丸，通过玻璃烟管吸取，很容易使人上瘾）
speed: 俚语里指"安非他明"
weed: 大麻
