Friday Night Watch Party II (1975)

➡ A New York cop named Doyle, known for a big heroin arrest, is sent to France to catch a criminal named Chaugnier. Despite facing language barriers and cultural differences, Doyle is determined to succeed. However, his aggressive and unpredictable methods cause tension with the local police. The story ends with Doyle being used as bait to catch Chaugnier, a plan he is unaware of.
➡ This text is a chaotic conversation involving Detective De Niro, who is trying to catch a criminal named Chagne while dealing with local police interference. He also discusses a shipment and a financial deal involving various currencies. Amidst this, there are references to his past as a baseball player and his current struggle with drug addiction. He is in a foreign city, possibly Marseille, and is in a poor physical state, needing medical help.
➡ This text seems to be a chaotic conversation between multiple people, involving a situation with potential danger and deception. It includes references to a woman, a location change, a possible setup, and a plan involving a passport. There’s also mention of a ship scheduled to leave soon, a bag switch, and a chase scene.

You. Oh, there’s. It’s taking your number, fella. I’ve got it. Application screwed. Barn. Follow me, follow me. I’m Doyle. Ah, doy, Doyle. Pardon. We’re expecting you. Little spare time work, huh? Narcotics. In the fish. In the fish. Unfortunately, this is our information. But New York, we shall work together. What’s all it’s about? What? I’m sorry. April Fool’s Day, you know, we are the 1st of April. You see, this information was a bad joke. Over here on April Fool’s Day. It’s accustomed to pin efficient people, you know. Only it’s usually a paper one. They really pinned it to you this time, isn’t it? This way, please.

James R. 42 years old, nickname Popeye. Cute spinach. What are you doing to my filing shit out, huh? This another one of your April fool jokes? No, I like reading it here. 60 kilos of heroin. Twas a big arrest. We have an authentic American hero here. When the fuck did you get that? Mr. D? I was requested to help you. I didn’t request that you come here, but naturally I wanted to know who you were. I found out after this big arrest, it disappeared. I read in the papers that somebody stole your heroin right out of the police headquarters.

Was it your friends? My friends are still on the force. How many men have you killed? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Am I being interrogated here? Am I working with you or I’m. Am I sometime a goddamn suspect or what? Five. Five people killed. Seems quite a lot. I’ve been a New York cop for 14 years. I know that the dope that comes out of this city has killed a lot more than I have. Two of the dead were policemen, right? Mileto, show him his office. Mr. Doyle, this is your office right here? Yeah, right next to the house, huh? I got telephone extension.

It’s terrific. Pretty nice. Hey, Henry, it’s beautiful. Really beautiful. Yeah, I’d be better off in New York on welfare. Hey, poor Popeye. You are, how do you say, homesick? I sent for some spinach. Hey, borrow me. Don’t you knock off the chicken shit, huh? Look, I’d rather be a lamppost in New York than the president of France. But I came over here one thing and one thing only. That’s to get Chaugnier. And that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna get him and put him where he belongs, even if you won’t. Hey, Bravo. It’s dayday in Marseille.

The Americans have landed. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Hey, this Chaunier of Yours, to begin with. This is certainly not his name. Second, there is no record of such a man here in Paris or in the streets. But there’s more of a record than you, and it’s not very nice. I must remind you, it’s you that let him escape. Come. We have to. But you come only with us to observe, huh? You carry no gun. I hope you know it’s illegal for foreigners, even policemen. No, no gun. I’m strictly by the book. You read my file, right? That’s why I.

Sam Ram. You just stay close to me and observe. You are my guest. You do nothing, say nothing. Okay? For me. I’m naked, remember? You must think I’m some sort of a hero or something. I’m just here to watch how the pros do it. I’m your guest. Okay? What do you have? It’s Sam. Get him out of me, God damn it. You’re under arrest, you son of a. Shut up. You’ve got nobody’s powers here, D. Forget it. Come on, come on, come on. Won’t that bastard cowardice let him go? He’s out. What? He’s out. How do you think he got out of there? Come on.

Why don’t you go back to New York and kill policemen, since that’s what you do best. Two months. You understand? Two months infiltration, wasted through your madness. You put me in the picture. You’ve still been alive, no. If you’ve done what I told you, you’ll still be alive. Hey, what do you say? What do you say? Look at all this stuff. Must have been accident, huh? Look at that acid. Must be enough there for 50 kilos. Maybe double that. You hit him too soon. Hey, you screwed up. I had a job for you, dog. You want to know what people say? You talk to them.

What do you mean? Hey. You mean a target? Am I supposed to use sign language? I don’t speak French, remember? Miletto will be your interpreter. Mileto, shove it. No, my friend, you shove it. You don’t help us outside, you just fuck up. What do you know about Marseille? You think it’s Harlem, just kicking blacks around the streets? You get deposition from each one of them. I don’t give them what they say, but I want it in writing. Hey, look, I came over here to nail that frog son of bitch good. That’s not part of my plan.

To sit around beating my meat while you French snarks grab all the credit. That’s what you want, right? You stick me next to the shithouse while you pull down all the Metals, right? That’s right. Sam. It we should decide the matter of the rendezvous. A place to meet after you have made the delivery. How’s New York? You know better than that, William. New York is hazardous to your health. At least to my health. But it is an amusing city. How did you do it, if it’s not a secret? Oh, it was very simple and very droll.

83 policemen wanted to talk to me. And 52 of them chose to talk to my man instead. I love a city where you always know where you stand. Hey, Hank, I’m really learning a lot up here. You really missing it, buddy. Sweet. This is named Godani. Arrest. One conviction. I’m going to take you right down. Right out of the alley there. Be right down there, we’ll start on your throat right here. I’m going to bust everything in it. You like that? Then your belly. Start working on your belly. I’m gonna hit you so hard that the belly’s gonna break your back.

You can breathe that. No, no. You don’t understand, huh? Then I’m gonna work on your arms. I’ll set them over a curve. I’m gonna use them for a trampoline. I’m gonna jump up and down on them, right? And then your kneecaps. One, two kneecaps. Oatmeal. I’m gonna make oatmeal out of your kneecaps. When I get done with you, you are gonna put me right in Shanye’s lap. What do you do, cremate the thing? You cremated it. You got the ketchup there? Where’s the mayo? The mayonnaise? Mayonnaise. Mayo, Mayo, mayo, mayo. Watch. Come out. Mayo, mayo, mayo, right? Relish.

Ask him if ever fix your feet. And Poughkeepsie. What? Just comfortable for you. Is it okay? I didn’t understand. Yeah. Ask. You ever pick your feet and Poughkeepsie. Like a Four Roses straight up and water on the side. Four Roses straight up and water on the side. Clover. Bourbon. Bourbon. Can you give me some help here? Jack Daniels. Jackie. Jackie. Yeah, Jackie Daniel. Let’s see.

Hey, fella how about another drink? Here, give me another one. About that two fingers like that, I don’t. Yeah, give yourself one too. What’s your name? What’s your name? Andre. Help yourself to one. I want. Somebody’s gonna have a drink with me. Help yourself to a drink. You right, Give yourself a drink. You’re gonna drink that dream. That’s not. Come on, come on, fill it up.

First Marine. First Marine. First Marine. Boston beans. Two Marines are following me. Two Marines are following me. 2 Marines are following me. I don’t think they’re going to catch me. And I’m not. No. Hey. Hello, Inspector. Yes, how are you? Well, it’s sunny. Sunny, Warm. Yes. There too. Foam it up. Well, the plan is going as you said it would. No, I don’t like it.

No. If this man Charnier is here in Marseille and sees him, it will be very dangerous. Well, I have two men on Doyle day and night, but he is unpredictable. No, I would not do it this way. First I would tell Die myself that he is being used as. How do you say? As bait. Well, he’s your man, not mine, Inspector. Oh, yes, he’s very evident, very visible. Yes. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello. Yes, operator, we were cut off. I was talking to the New York Police Department. Hello? What do you mean? It’s the French operators.

For what? Hello? Hello? Hello? I want to go right there. Not here. Speak English? Hey. Hey, Henry. Pretty good, buddy. Having a two hour lunch, are you investigating the greasy spoons, Detective De Niro? I thought that you had left us. No, I was hanging around. I wanted to find out why Shanier likes this burg so much. You know, I think I found out. Found out what? I found out that while Chagnye is kind of walking around free, the police are inside having two hour lunches. Can I get you a taxi today? No, I. I don’t think so.

I think I’ll just stay here. As you wish. Yeah. Listen, I want you to do me a favor. Get your two tails off my back, will you? What is a tall one? Your brother in law, is that it? Listen, Doug. Now you listen. I came over to get that fucking Chagne and I’m gonna get his ass. And I could do a lot better if Sacco and Van Setti were off my tail. Understand? Gotta put them back on the school crossing where they belong. They Might get run over by a bicycle. I don’t want that on my conscience, Mr.

Met. You excited? Oh, yeah. You want this phone, huh? God, I wish this blow on the blow would travel. I’d like to take 20 cases with me back to Washington. Oh, you Americans have that misconception. Wine will travel. It is people who have difficulty. By the way, they understood about you not traveling with the shipment. Good. I’m pleased you all continue to see the situation aside. Bill, has Geneva taken the necessary first step? Exactly as you wanted it. Pretty good spread against inflation. Floating currencies. 100,000 South African rands, 50 in Canadian dollars, another 50 in Yen.

200,000 altogether. 10% as per the agreement. Okay. Tell them the final shipment, the Sharrot. Once it arrives, we cook for a few days. Understood. We are expecting you for dinner. A little party. Very informal, you know. I’d love to, but no can do. Official business. Looks like you guys want us back here again. I gotta be in Paris tonight to have dinner with the Minister of Defense. Talk numbers and bases. Thank you very much for the lunch, Ally. Incidentally, Geneva’s counting on you. Sorry. They wanted made clear. Naturally. My expectations of them are the same. Be sure they know that too.

Listen, you play good volleyball. You bounce around a lot. I’ll see you down the beach, huh? Sam? It. I must say, Mr. Doyle, that you were the one person I did not want to see again. My associates here want to discuss things with you, Doyle, but in their fashion. I told them it would be useless. You would die first. And of course, then we would never find out what you have learned about our little business. That was the expensive lesson of New York. You’re a good cop. Honest. Quite stupid, but honest. Up your ass, Shawn. Yeah.

I’ll tell you what I found out. I found out that you eat, you frog, you. That’s not good enough. Scumbag. You. It. It’s. It’s. Hello. I have a son just about your age. Nice young man. I’m English, you know. I heard you speak English. I heard you shout. You mustn’t shout. They never listen. I have lived in Marseille for 42 years. Even through the war. I married a few French. He wouldn’t listen to me. Then my son went away. Nobody listens to me. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You mustn’t do that. You mustn’t scratch. You get infected and then you’ll be very sick.

You must have Patsy come round again soon. Soon. But you mustn’t shout. No one will listen. It la. It not Yet. Tell me. They sent me over here because I was the only one who recognized you. This one. I didn’t find out anything. You fuck out of here. This ain’t my town. I can’t even get a goddamn drink here. Come here. Come on. You know, I believe you. You. We take you back to you. To your friends. They are looking for you everywhere. And making it difficult for me to operate. So we are giving you back to them.

They’ll throw you off the police force. Drink it. It’s cold. Yeah, that’ll help a lot. I feel like I spent a week licking a pool table for three weeks. Where were you guys? We looked. Where the fuck were you? 52 men were looking for you full time. If I had 52 men looking for some, I’d find him in three hours in New York. Yes, but Marseille’s not New York. Yeah, you’re goddamn right it ain’t.
