Television Mobsters End a Phone Conversation

A scene from Julien Perez.

FRANKIE: You got my word. He's gonna wish he was never born.


SALVATORE: Good. Call me back when it's done.


FRANKIE: You got it, boss. Goodbye.


SALVATORE: Good what now?


FRANKIE: I said, 'Goodbye.'


SALVATORE: What're you sayin' to me?


FRANKIE: Goodbye. Like, see ya, talk to ya later. You know, 'goodbye'.


SALVATORE: I didn’t understand a single word that just came out your mouth.


FRANKIE: How you don't understand 'goodbye?'


SALVATORE: Hey, be careful what you say now.


FRANKIE: Woah, I mean no disrespect, Sal. I just mean to say, like, it's a common way to end phone calls.


SALVATORE: Oh, now he's callin' me stupid.


FRANKIE: Hey, hey. I'm just surprised is all.


SALVATORE: I never heard no goodbye before. You never once said goodbye to me before.


FRANKIE: I know and every time I felt guilty about it. It's rude, Sal.


SALVATORE: You know what's rude? Assuming everybody and their mother knows some latin word like that.


FRANKIE: I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.


SALVATORE: How about you just get the job done. Capiche?


Frankie: All right. You got it.


(Frankie hangs up)


SALVATORE: Listen, don't be doing nothing like this again. You hear me?


(Silence)


SALVATORE: Frankie, you there?
