Young De Niro buys the Cadillac. Next scene: Future De Niro walks in... “What did I tell you?! Don’t buy anything!”

I love how all the mystique and finesse Easy Andy had throughout the whole gun selling process is completely lost the second he starts offering drugs for sale, in Travis' eyes he was the holy iron monger providing him with the weapons he needed to embark in his crusade, but after getting the guns from him he transforms into just another scumbag dealing poison.

I love how Andy suddenly turns into a desperate salesman and completely abandons his charm once he realizes Travis has cash he wants to spend

"How much for everything?" Music to a salesman's ears...

He forgot to mention a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

"How bout toys for your kids? Rubik's cube? Boggle? Micro machines? Chewbacca mask? I can get you a Chewbacca mask for 15 no questions asked."

Travis spent $915 in 1976. In case anyone's wondering, that's just shy of 5 grand today.

"Isn't that a lil honey?" Gets me every time! 😂😄😘

I love how at the end Travis has a burning resentment towards him for asking about drugs.

He's like a Bob Ross with weapons. "That's a nice little gun"

I always wondered if Easy Andy was the real thing and I just found out that the actor was Scorsese bodyguard, driver, and cocaine connection during the 70's. So I think it's fair to say that Easy Andy was the real thing.

We all need a friend like Andy.

After all these years, I still find watching this scene extremely relaxing to watch. The sounds of the guns clicking mixed with the outside sounds if the city and easy Andy's description of each firearm is oddly very soothing.

How about a Gatling gun? How about a WW2 Tank with pink slip? How about a submarine armed with nuclear weapons?

I watched Breaking Bad before I watched Taxi Driver, and the character that Walt ends up buying a piece from, the whole setting, tone and depiction of the scene, a very neat and sincere homage to this moment in the film.

When I was a district sales manager I could have used 3 salesmen like Easy Andy. Smooth delivery, no rush. Knows his merchandise, sells to the need and desire of the buying customer. Doesn't give up the sale ... ever. Offers other expensive wares, Keeps selling all the way out the door. It's nice to see and hear a good salesman's smooth pitch. Sales people are the highest earners in America. 🤑 Fact.

Everyone needs an easy andy in there lives

Easy Andy is an awesome salesman. Makes the customer feel important and at ease "I just deal high quality goods to the right people".enthusiastic but not pushy, calm but knowledgeable, shifty but still seems trustworthy, totally in control but the customer still makes the final decisions.

Such a great scene on so many levels. Scorsese at his very finest. The movie, and Travis, are escalating here and the viewer really sits up and takes notice. A few things: 1) The workaday way that Andy handles the gun sale is super fascinating to watch. Even though he is selling firearms he treats it like any widget. He knows his products and is detail oriented. 2) His youthful appearance and haircut belie the criminal nature and severity of what he is doing 3) The banal sounds coming trough the window serve as a counterpoint of the seriousness of the gun transaction. The shot of the gun pointing at the two women under the umbrellas is really chilling and amplifies this effect. 4) The way he has the holster ready (to sell, not to give, to Travis) shows how much he orchestrated everything on his end 5) When he has the gun sale closed, the effortless manner in which he switches to drug dealer gives the scene an entirely deeper sense of menace. Andy will sell anything to anyone, no matter how dangerous or harmful.

I used to deal sometimes with a guy similar to Easy Andy down in Sacramento years ago. He could get anything you wanted , the stuff just somehow fell off a truck somewhere. I told him I wanted some 4x8 sheets of aluminum diamond plate , he said give me a week , I'll call you. Sure enough, a week later he had it , the stuff was still banded to a pallet that said U.S. ARMY on it . Just fell off a truck somewhere ............

Easy Andy is a precursor to Amazon. He seems to have everything.

Ain't that a little honey :)

“Isn’t that a little honey?” Such a great line in this scene

Cinematic perfection. Easy Andy should've won an award for precision.

The gun dealer in this scene was a real life drug dealer. An incident from his life was covered in a short documentary made by Scorsese when he was a student. Tarantino then adapted that incident into the scene in Pulp Fiction where they have to stab Uma Thurman with adrenaline because of a heroin overdose.

Easy Andy is a smooth salesman who knows his customer, until he fell apart at the end

48 years later...and that salesman is STILL telling DeNiro what he is capable of getting him. "You want Klondikes? Got a truck full of Klondikes, all flavors, unmelted, it's beautiful!"

The easy way that easy Andy could morph into a car salesman or a local politician is amazing. Terrific scene.

This movie competed against Network, Rocky AND All The President's Men that year at the Oscars. It was truly an insane year for the movies.

“Na I’m not interested in that stuff” then proceeds to swallow a fistful of pills

What I like about Easy Andy is that he knows his products well.

I think people misunderstand Eddys quick offering of additional items. Hes not desperate to sell more in the moment, hes just planting it in Travis' mind that he can get him ANYTHING he may want so if Travis ever was interested hed think of eddy first

Look at this, that's the M41A pulse rifle. It's a 10mm caseless, holds 99 rounds in a clip with an underslung grenade launcher and shotgun, a real beauty. Look at this, rests right in your shoulder, ain't that a honey? This is a great gun. This is what they give the colonial marines to blast the colonists bunnies who get too rowdy. You could take out a tank with this thing. I could sell it to some scavenger scum for about $800, but I like to make sure it gets to someone respectable.

"Isn't that a little honey?" Always cracks me up. Like he's admiring a coat that De Niro is buying.

"Whatta you got there, a Wop 9? Fuckin' Fiat of guns, always jammin' on you at the wrong time. "

Everyone needs a connection like Easy Andy

Easy Andy, you had me at hash, mescaline, amphetamines, and nitrous oxide.

I would love to see a movie about Easy Andy

Easy Andy is relaxing with that 70s voice. I could listen to him talk about various firearms for quite a while.

A classic scene in a classic movie! You just can’t beat such a high quality movie!

That holster looks like it was made this morning on the way to meet Travis.

Seedy looking apartment with a fantastic view.

I always loved this scene, and was glad to find a documentary made by Martin Scorsese about Easy Andy, called American Boy. Steven Prince is just as interesting as his character in Taxi Driver. Fame, violence, justifiable homicide, drug use, Neil Diamond, it has it all.

Movie making, much like music, has become a lost art. All the real good stuff, the defining moments stuff, the world changing stuff, has already been done. You could never get a scene like this today.

So what it'll it be buddy? - All. You let me close early today.

"Isn't that a lil honey"? My fav line...

TAXI DRIVER...a masterpiece of cinema. i love this movie

Easy Andy is a great lesson is sales. Know your products like the back of your hand and be enthusiastic.

I like how in this scene you can hear children laughing and playing in the background ,unaware of what has been set in motion in the next room.

This is my favorite scene in Taxi Driver, because of the pacing, and the intonation of the dealer's whiny but soothing voice. It's both sleazy and soothing at the same time. I feel both a desire to get out of this hotel room, and perfectly at ease listening to the patter. He's charismatic and repulsive at all at once.

I love how Travis simply announced "I got money". The dealer probably creamed his pants.

Notice he pushes the .38, which for a cab driver is perfect. He genuinely wants to keep his clientele alive.

One of the things that always got me about his movies, is the direction towards the little things. Right around 0:59 easy Andy had already made sure the weapons were clear, and no ammunition was ever seen. But when Travis handled the weapons Andy treated them as loaded, even moved his body. Good stuff.

There’s something about the way he uses the camera and sound that gives you that feeling you get when you’re reading a good book. You’re deep inside.

I love how he starts the sales pitch AFTER he sells the guns.

That's a beautiful little gun

More like “Easy, Andy!”

"Isn't that a little honey?" ABC - always be closing.

"You want a working Star Trek phaser? Stuns, disintegrates matter, fully loaded with powered dilithium crystals. $400."

That 38 snubby is a beautiful piece of art..love it

Travis stops and turns: "What's that about a Cadillac?"

Revolvers are just too beautiful to go out of fashion. There is something about them. A beautiful man-made tool that happens to be a piece of art also. I love theam ❤

"How about a toe,I can get you a toe by 3:00..with green nail polish!"

"I could sell this gun to some jungle bunny in Harlem for $500". Gets me EVERYTIME.

1:19 the way Travis tucks the .44 away to the side of the suitcase, needed that room cuz the deal is far from over.

Would have been hilarious if the next scene De Niro was driving down the street in a Cadillac

Andy moving out of the way as Travis carelessly whips the muzzle of the .38 around is a little detail that shows that this guy actually knows something about guns.

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it first understood.” ― Leonardo da Vinci.

Love those sleazy 70's salesmen 😜👍

"You could go out and hammer nails with it all day, come back, and it'll cut dead center on target every time." I kind of feel the same way about this movie. The gritty unapologetic dialog compliments Scorsese's dark visuals. It one of those movies you either love or hate. I've never meant anybody who, after watching this film, kind of shrugs and says, "eh! It was OK." Most are either fascinated or repulsed.

If you can hit an engine block from 100 yards with a .44 then you are a god

Believe it or not my favorite scene in the movie , loved this actor Steven Prince who did a masterpiece of selling here. Lots of psychology in his selling. Great tough descriptive language while you salivate over those classic guns. I saw Mr Prince on a 2009 video story telling, I could listen to him all day. Glad to know he's still here 👍

Dude was otherworldly with his sales pitch until the last 15 seconds. Like for real, his confidence and sliver tongue are mesmerizing until the sale happens. Then he’s all crazy farmer carnival barker, “SPEED? GRASS? HYUCK HYUCK SPIDOOONS!”

The background noise in this movie is great. It really catches the feeling of New York in the 70's.

The children's voices in the background is a nice touch.

Puts one round in the snub nose and yells "MAO!"

Easy Andy was probably fortunate Travis didn't blow his brains out when he started mentioning drugs!

Easy Andy = Sigma Grindset

The actor of Easy Andy is also the man whose real life experience inspired the adrenaline shot scene in Pulp Fiction.

Easy Andy could find a good, affordable, graphics card.

“The right people”

Best scene in the movie 🎥, the fuse is being lit 🔥 Really wish Steven Prince would have been in more movies. Loved his style 👌

Much nicer to watch than modern movies with dramatic ambient theme on background. This feels natural to watch.

"Ain't that a little shine box?"

The .25 "Colt" was actually a "S&W Escort" and was a .22 LR, and the .380 "Walther" was an "Astra Constable"

You know when a movie is great when you would watch a secondary character's solo movie. Easy Andy.

"How much for everything?" always liked that line.

The true Apex of the movie, and my personal favorite scene. I get ASMR every time I watch it. Easy Andy is the consummate salesman. He manages to sell 4 guns to Bickle, a guy who has no need for one gun let alone four, and absolutely no idea what to do with them. Andy is like Mephistopheles to Bickle's Faust. He offers Travis the key to the door through which he can escape the soul-crushing loneliness and monotony of his day-to-day existence, but at the cost of what remains of Bickle's sanity and stability. Bickles access to the guns becomes his sole focus, as he has absolutely nothing else to focus on. His isolation and the bitterness caused by his rejection by society as a whole and women in particular warps his sense of purpose, causing him to want to lash out. This angst is tempered by his ingrained sense of moral obligation and duty, and his hypocritical passing of judgement on the vice he sees around him (he frequents porn theaters daily and pops pills constantly), the rest is history.

Andy look like Beck

In the theater, its dead quiet when Travis takes aim at the two chatting umbrella ladies, like we dunno who this guy is all of a sudden. Then the brilliant little comedic drug touch at the ending had us laughing.

Easy Andy is such a memorable character. the "how about..." stuff always makes me laugh.

"How about Covid vaccine?" "How about this beautiful face mask I got handmade in Mexico?"

Damn you got everything. You want a dog I got a border collie for 125 need fish I got koi,goldfish,tuna,snapper and talapia anything you need let me know

Ever since watching this movie not only did it become a favorite, I always wanted that 38 special.

The new Caddy with papers sounds like a good deal to me.

wish i had those weapons just to look and play with while looking in mirror like Travis. but no rough stuff.

Definitely ASMR-y. I gotta learn how to do that with my voice, the rest is just the setting anyway.

I always loved his cells pitch top-notch

Easy Andy knew he was supplying a future chaotic event.

Currently (Jan ‘21) on the Criterion app there’s a short doc called “American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince” which is about 50 minutes of this guy telling stories to Martin Scorsese.
