In contrast, he much preferred to be with his camera elsewhere - capturing social realism of sick elderly homeless men he previous night in the flop-house.Looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over.That was my first impression of the man.Andy glances up at the imposing walls above him - walls hat will close in on his life during two consecutive life sentences - as he is marched in.Gittes: I get by.Escobar: Well, sometimes it takes a while for a man to find himself.Maybe you have.Loach: Yeah, goin' through other people's dirty linen.Gittes: Yeah.Tell me.You still puttin' Chinamen in jail for spittin' in the laundry?Escobar: You're a little behind the times, Jake.True to life in the Italian ghetto, the film is naturalistically filled with elements of the first generation Italian-American subculture.And I'm reachin' out.Riff: For what?Tony: I don't know.Riff: A dame?Tony: It's right outside the door.Just around the corner.But it's comin'.Riff: What is?Tony: I don't know.It's like the kick I used to get from bein' a Jet, you know?Riff: Oh, well now you're talkin'.Oh man, without a gang, you're an orphan.With a gang, you walk in twos, threes, fours.And when your crew is the best, when you're a Jet, you're out in the sun, buddy-boy.You're home free home.Tony: Riff, I've had it.Riff: Tony, Tony, look at me, will ya? Come on, look at me...Now, I never asked the time of day from a clock, did I? I never asked nothin' from nobody.But I'm askin' you: 'Come to the dance tonight.'Tony: I promised Doc I'd clean up the store tonight.Riff: Then do it after the dance.Tony, I already told the guys you'd be there.If you don't show up, I'll be marked lousy.Tony: What time'd ya tell 'em?Riff: Ten.For me Tony, for Riff!Tony: Ten it is.(They shake)Riff: Womb to tomb!Tony: Birth to Earth.And I'll live to regret this.Riff: Who knows? Maybe what you're waitin' for will be twitchin' at the dance tonight?Tony sings: "Something's Coming," a song of expectancy about the coming night:Something's Coming:Could be, who knows? There's something due any day.
