LORENZO:
It's no wonder why the neighborhood treats a boy like him so goddamn good.
Playing craps and shining up his car, we're going straight to the bar to give back the money!
YOUNG CALOGERO:
What?!
LORENZO:
Shut your mouth, you'll get your mom upset
YOUNG CALOGERO:
But-
ROSINA:
Shush!
LORENZO:
That's right, you ain't seen nothin' yet
YOUNG CALOGERO:
Daddy, daddy, don't say nothing please, I made a promise to Sonny!
LORENZO (Spoken):
Let's go. Now.
ROSINA (Spoken):
Wait! Let's not make any rash decisions!
LORENZO (Spoken):
What?
ROSINA:
Money like that you don't pull from a hat, I mean twelve-hundred dollars can buy us a lot!
LORENZO:
It's blood money!
ROSINA:
I know! And it's wrong even so, I mean, who's going to know if we spend it or what?
LORENZO:
It's dirty, it's cheap and the price is too steep! Take one cent, you're in deep with them like it or not!
(Simultaneously) YOUNG CALOGERO:
Daddy, daddy, don't say nothing, the money's mine!
ROSINA:
Lorenzo! Please! Lorenzo, please!
LORENZO (Spoken):
Sonny, I would like to talk to you. I want you to take this money back, we can't accept it.
SONNY (Spoken):
No disrespect to you, Lorenzo, but I didn't give it to you. I gave it to your son.
LORENZO (Spoken):
That's right. My son. And I'm warning you, stay away from my son.
SONNY (Spoken):
What'd you say?
SONNY:
Hey Lorenzo, you and I should talk. C, I'd like it if you'd take a walk.
LORENZO:
Hey, I'm his father and I'll decide...
LORENZO (Spoken):
Calogero, wait outside.
SONNY:
First of all, don't show me disrespect. Number two, I teach your boy correct. Do the right thing, go to college.
LORENZO:
Please Sonny, he don't need your kind of knowledge. The clothes, the cars, the money, the girls, all that power, what's it meant?
LORENZO (Spoken):
Now he says that Mickey Mantle wouldn't pay my rent?
SONNY (Spoken):
What the hell's the matter with you? I treat that kid like he's my son.
LORENZO (Spoken):
He's not your son!
SONNY (Spoken):
Get him outta here, I wash my hands of you!
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
Where's my money, Daddy? What did Sonny say? Can I have my money?
LORENZO (Spoken):
I left it in there.
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
What?! How could you do that?! I worked for it, it was my money!
LORENZO (Spoken):
It's dirty money!
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
I want my money!
LORENZO (Spoken):
Stop it!
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
I want my money! Gimme my money!
LORENZO (Spoken):
No!
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
Daddy... why did you hit me? Why? Sonny's right, he's right! The working man is a sucker! He's a sucker!
LORENZO (Spoken):
Sonny's wrong!
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
I don't understand, Dad.
LORENZO (Spoken):
You will when you're older. I'm sorry I hit you. Just stay away from him, okay?
YOUNG CALOGERO (Spoken):
Okay.
