I’ll take the advantage my own way
Jason: All right, you break.
Claudia: No, thanks. I’ll take the advantage my own way.
Jason: Suit yourself.
Claudia: Nice. So what else are we playing for?
Jason: I’m just meeting somebody here, just killing some time.
Claudia: This “somebody” is not going to mind that you’re killing your time with me, right?
Jason: No.
Claudia: Ok, well, every game needs high stakes, even games between strangers — I’d say especially games between strangers — so what are we playing for?
Jason: I don’t know, just pick something, make it interesting. We’re not even going to be able to finish this game.
Claudia: I always finish what I start and I never start anything that I can’t finish so I’ll tell you what — I’ll make it easy on you.
Jason: Yeah.
Claudia: If I win, you dance with me?
Jason: If you — what if I win?
Claudia: Then you choose.
[Music plays] Cole
Man: Sorry, I was just — just admiring your form.
Singer: I walk alone at closing time I walk alone with my head down keep on, keep on
Claudia: So, rock, latin, blues?
Jason: What?
Claudia: What kind of music turns you on for our dance?
Spinelli: Headmaster! Uh — a thousand pardons! Um — the private investigatory grasshopper was held up greatly by the wounded blond one and her –
Claudia: Any idea what you’ve just done?
Spinelli: A thousand and one pardons to stone cold and vixenella. I had no idea the master was entertaining.
Claudia: What are you?
Spinelli: Jackal — internet — cyberspace.
Claudia: Hmm, well, you need to get out of your room more. Hey, what — what about our bet? Double or nothing?
Jason: Maybe some other time. Did you get the address I wanted? Did you get the address I wanted?
Claudia: I need something from you — and it can’t wait.
Sonny: I should have my partner here, jaso or at least one of my guards. Since this is business, you might need to be patted down.
[Claudia chuckles]
Claudia: Well, the night is young.
Sonny: I thought we finished our business for a while after the meeting.
Claudia: See, I thought we were just starting — especially in light of the fact that it wasn’t our first meeting. I’m interested in a trade.
Sonny: I’m listening.
Claudia: All right, you own the dock unions, but you must know I managed to bring a few of the shore patrol and the pilot boat operators to my side. You can’t unload product if you can’t get it to the shore.
Sonny: Well, the zaccharas also bought up the packaging plants on water street. It’s going to be a little crowded down there when I get my hands on that deserted pier complex.
Claudia: Trevor seems to think he has that under control.
Sonny: I don’t see the zacchara name being pasted up anywhere.
Claudia: Well, it will be. Besides, there’s such a thing as coexistence.
Sonny: That’s not trevor talking.
Claudia: Uh-uh. Trevor doesn’t run this family.
Sonny: He has. Is that what this is all about? You want to bring home a trophy, you want to rub trevor’s nose in it? And then you got your wonderful brother who’s — I’m sure he –
Claudia: Johnny’s a good kid.
Sonny: And then there’s anthony zacchara — you got a lot of distractions I could be taking advantage of.
Claudia: You could. Or you could think about what I said. I see I was right before, by the way.
Sonny: About what?
Claudia: About the girl, about you –
[Sonny chuckles]
Claudia: You still being in love with that woman that you were trying to erase in my arms in the hotel room the other night? That was her, right? That was kate howard?
Sonny: She stays out of this.
Claudia: Well, that kiss I walked in on says she’s already in deep, and so are you. That makes her fair game.
Sonny: I’m going to say this once — leave her alone.
Claudia: Looks like I hit a nerve.
Sonny: No, what you hit is a wall. I already warned your brother — you come near anybody that I care about, there will be bloodshed.
Claudia: When I said “fair game,” I meant woman-to-man. I like competition.
Sonny: You wasted your time here tonight.
Claudia: Really? On the contrary, because I feel like I’m leaving with some valuable insight.
Sonny: No trade. You got nothing I want.
Claudia: Then I’ll just have to take something you do.
