This was no boating accident..
Sorry boys, all the stitches in the world can't sew me together again. Lay down... lay down. Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on Hun and Ninth street. Always knew I'd make a stop there, but a lot later than a whole gang of people thought... Last of the Moh-Ricans... well maybe not the last. Gail's gonna be a good mom... New improved Carlito Brigante... Hope she uses the money to get out. No room in this city for big hearts like hers... Sorry baby, I tried the best I could, honest... Can't come with me on this trip, Loaf. Getting the shakes now, last call for drinks, bars closing down... Sun's out, where are we going for breakfast? Don't wanna go far. Rough night, tired baby... Tired...

I can't seem to get off the movie quotes lately. The idea for this quote came into my head I was driving through Pacoima on the way to work. I saw someone walking down the street, and she turned the head and for a second our eyes met. Then I heard Carlito's words. His careful, low, thoughtful timbre.

"It could be a different time, a different day. A different place, two different people. But today it's just me, looking back at you."

Last call for drinks, bars closing down... Sun's out, where are we going for breakfast? Don't wanna go far.
