Frankie Carboni: Hey, how ya doin'?

There was my brother's friend, Skinny Lou..

Skinny Lou: Hey, I took care of the thing for ya.

And there was Jimmy "Two-Times", who got that nickname because he said everything twice..

Jimmy "Two-Times": I'm gonna go get the papers. Get the papers.

You had Bobby "Buckethead"..

Bobby Buckethead: [ wearing bucket on his head ] Hey, what's up?

And there was Jimmy "Five-Times"..
