"Try a Little Tenderness" - The Commitments [1991]
(music)
*couple talking hushly - door opens and closes*
Guard: “No trouble from you this time, Cuffe or it’s back in solitary for 90 days.”
*stool scrapes across linoleum*
Cuffe: *raspy murmur* “Hello, uncle.”
Cuffe: “You’re still working for O’Malley, are you? And you haven’t gotten yourself killed yet....although, I do see death in your eyes - just there at the corners. It’s like a wan specter only waiting for the right moment to slip down. Are you ready, O’Shea? Do you want it so badly? I can help...”
O’Shea: “At the corners you say? Crazy, fucking bastard....” Cuffe: *low and brittle* “You don’t believe me...” *mood changes light* “Who’s this then?” O’Shea: “Deonte. Now get in the fucking trunk, Cuffe.”
Deonte: *nevous* “H...hello-” Cuffe: “Don’t speak to me or I’ll kill you.” Deonte: “Alright, then...”

O’Shea: “You weren’t around five years ago before Deco went in.” Deonte: *quiet and nervous* “No and no one’s really talked about him before.” O’Shea: “There’s a reason for that. He’s not really a subject anyone enjoys.”
*opening and closing car doors*
O’Shea: “I came prepared but you’d do better staying in the background and keeping your mouth shut, D.”
Cuffe: *low, gravel voice* “Is that you, O’Shea or do my eyes deceive me...” O’Shea: “Boss sent me...let’s do this quick. I don’t want trouble.” Cuffe: *clipped, chilling laugh* “Don’t want trouble...”
Cuffe: “I haven’t seen you in five months...” The Boss: “I have a business to run, without your help I might add since you were stupid enough to get caught.” Cuffe: “When am I getting out of here? What did the lawyer say?” The Boss: “They won’t even consider a parole hearing.”
Cuffe: *low, guttural noise* “What will you do, uncle?” The Boss: “Leave it to me, boy...”
