The King of Staten Island - Considering Job Opportunities and Aspirations
Scott's cousin:
You know, we could put you on two shifts a week, just-just, just to try it.
Scott:
I don't need a job. I, uh, I got a contact at a tattoo shop. I'm- I'm hoping for an apprenticeship, so...
Joy:
Then you're gonna need some money.
Scott's cousin:
Yeah, some of these guys walk away with 80 bucks in tips.
Marjorie:
Scott, your cousin's offering you a job. Consider it, okay?
Scott's cousin:
If you're good at it, you can become a waiter.
Scott:
Why are you offering me a job anyway?
Scott's cousin:
Because I told your father I'd always look out for you.
Scott:
How? He died suddenly in a fire. Uh, did you ask his ghost?
Joy:
That's not witty, Scott.
Scott's cousin:
Your dark sense of humor doesn't work for me.
Scott's uncle:
I find it funny.
Joy:
It's your sister's big day. Be a gentleman.
Scott's cousin: [[w:U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement|an ICE raid]
Okay, we lost a few guys in ].
Scott:
Ah, shit. Sorry.
Joy:
Maybe you should work and go to college.
Scott's uncle:
College is bullshit!
Joy:
Oh.

What's up, Todd?
Todd:
What's up, Scott?
Scott:
You going to college, too, someday?
Todd:
I'd like to, yeah. I'd go study law.
Scott:
Oh, yeah? That's awesome, man. That sounds really cool. Do you have any weed?
Todd:
I do.
Scott:
Could I have some?
Todd:
Definitely. I'll go grab it.
Scott: [''Todd walks off'']
Cool. Thanks, Todd. Fucking home run, Todd.
Joy:
It makes me sad to think of my little sister sitting in that sad little house, waiting for her son to be perfect.
Marjorie:
I'm not.
Joy:
Then you're wasting all of this. All of it's getting wasted. You're a mess.
Marjorie:
You're wasted.
Joy:
Mom would be so disappoin... Mom would be disappointed in you.
Marjorie:
You're the one who's always wasted.
Joy: [''Chuckles derisively'']
You're wasting. It's like leaving food on the table. Come on. Let me take you out.
Marjorie:
It's so hard to meet people. I'm totally open.
Joy:
No, it's... I mean, God... You're not open at all.
Marjorie:
It's really hard to meet people.
Joy:
You're a liar. You're not open. "Hard to meet people"?
Marjorie:
I'm in the E.R. All I see is, like...
Joy:
You meet... You meet a hundred people a night. People who were shot...
Marjorie:
Yeah, they're shot. They're- they're, uh, they're criminals.
Joy:
Stop limiting yourself.
Marjorie:
Who am I gonna meet?
Joy:
Stop limiting yourself.
Marjorie:
But I'm at the hospital.
Joy:
Yeah. They're not all criminals. You meet people at work. That's what it's...
Marjorie:
Some of them are victims.
Joy:
Doll...
