Capisce

DRELLA: Okay. I am a great harp player, and this is my great harp, okay. So if you’re looking for someone to just be nice to the guests, get a harmonica player, or maybe some guy who whistles through his nose. Okay? Capisce?

Capisce (said kah-PEESH) is an Italian word used in American slang to mean “got it, understand”.

In Italian, it is pronounced more like kah-PEE-shay, and would be used to refer to someone in the third person – such as “He understands”. In Italian, to say you understand is capisco.
