Lento's Maitre'D : [Cole drops by Lento's Steakhouse to have a chat with Smith. As Cole goes in, the Maitre'D is on the phone] ... Hello, Lento's... No, we're closed for a private lunch...
[He notices Cole but blows him off]
Lento's Maitre'D : There's nothing I can do about it... That's what I'm telling you. We're closed today. Tomorrow we'll be open...
[Cole rings the service bell insistently]
Lento's Maitre'D : Excuse me.
[to Cole]
Lento's Maitre'D : Hey, asshole; what are you, blind? We're closed, okay?
Jack Cole : You talk too much.
[He drops the Maitre'D with a punch and picks up the phone]
Jack Cole : Yeah, come on in. We'll get you a table.
[He hangs up and strolls through the restaurant towards the VIP area, but is intercepted by Lento's bouncer]
Smith's Bodyguard : ...You're unbelievable. What are you doing here, huh? You need to turn around and leave; that's what you need to do.
[Cole wrenches the bouncer's wrist and shoves him to the floor. Then he approaches Smith's table, where Smith is chatting with a senator]
Jack Cole : You don't call, you don't write; and, what's worse, you don't take *my* calls.
[the bouncer reappears]
Smith's Bodyguard : Excuse me, Mr. Senator; I'm sorry...
[to Cole]
Smith's Bodyguard : Why don't you take your little sensitive ponytail, and your little sissy beads, and get out of here. Okay?
[Cole knocks him through a glass-and-wood partition, and then proceeds to question Smith about the "Family Man's" identity. After doing this, Cole is showing himself out when more of Lento's bouncers intercept him]
Smith's Bodyguard : If you ever pull that with me again, I'll kill you. And all the Chinese potions in the world will not save you next time.
Jack Cole : You really shouldn't knock Chinese potions. I have something in my pocket right now which will completely clear up that bruise on your forehead.
Smith's Bodyguard : What bruise?
[Cole flattens him]
Jack Cole : That bruise.
[He knocks out the other bouncers, demolishing most of Lento's in the process]
Jack Cole : Do you guys validate parking?
[Passing by the reception desk, he answers the ringing phone]
Jack Cole : Hello, Lento's... No, that won't work; we're closed for renovation. I'd say two months... Yeah, thanks.
[He departs]
