0:01:06.900,0:01:10.630
Dear God in heaven.[br]It's me, Frankie. Look.
0:01:10.680,0:01:14.240
I know I probably ain't one [br]of your favorite people down here.
0:01:14.700,0:01:16.569
I got on some bad things here and there
0:01:16.569,0:01:19.624
and I know I've been asking [br]for a lot of favors lately, too.
0:01:19.624,0:01:21.368
So maybe I've use most of mine up.
0:01:21.368,0:01:23.290
I know you probably tried to
0:01:23.290,0:01:25.429
help me out with [br]this lottery thing tonight.
0:01:25.429,0:01:27.340
But the way things are going,
0:01:27.340,0:01:29.610
it doesn't look as [br]if it's going to work out.
0:01:29.760,0:01:32.072
So I'm asking for one more favor.
0:01:33.060,0:01:35.590
Please don't add insult to injury here.
0:01:35.640,0:01:37.929
God, please, I'm begging you.
0:01:37.979,0:01:40.389
I don't want to win the lottery.
0:01:40.439,0:01:42.429
I don't want to win the lottery.
0:01:42.479,0:01:44.540
I don't want to win the lottery.
0:02:17.879,0:02:20.694
- Your name is?[br]- Frank Pesce.
0:02:22.319,0:02:25.119
- P-E-S...[br]- C-E.
0:02:26.280,0:02:29.049
Okay. Here you are, Frank. I'm Julie.
0:02:29.099,0:02:32.050
Welcome to the Empire Stakes. Follow me.
0:02:33.469,0:02:36.430
I have you done for six.[br]Where's the rest of the family?
0:02:36.480,0:02:38.710
- What?[br]- Where's the rest of the family?
0:02:38.760,0:02:39.660
It's only me.
0:02:42.010,0:02:43.620
What are you gonna do if you win?
0:02:43.740,0:02:45.370
I really don't know.
0:02:45.420,0:02:47.886
Come on, tell me the truth.[br]You feel lucky tonight?
0:02:50.099,0:02:51.420
You have no idea.
0:03:03.360,0:03:04.985
Good luck, Mr Pesce.
0:03:08.619,0:03:09.789
How you doing?
0:03:10.560,0:03:12.149
Good luck to you, man.
0:03:16.600,0:03:21.179
Ladies and gentlemen,[br]Mr Memory Lane himself - Joe Franklin.
0:03:27.260,0:03:29.864
Okay. Thank you very much, [br]ladies and gentlemen.
0:03:29.864,0:03:32.809
The big moment has arrived at long last.
0:03:32.839,0:03:37.849
The very first New York State Lottery, [br]the Empire Stakes,
0:03:37.879,0:03:43.354
with some lucky person receiving [br]six million two hundred thousand dollars.
0:03:43.464,0:03:45.960
The very first in New York state.
0:03:45.960,0:03:47.109
I know the excitement
0:03:47.159,0:03:50.230
has been mounting and generating
0:03:50.280,0:03:51.969
and mushrooming and snowballing
0:03:52.019,0:03:55.160
and escalating and skyrocketing
0:03:55.220,0:03:59.109
and the uh... contestants[br]out there the uh... audience...
0:03:59.159,0:04:01.990
you're kind of palpitating and drooling
0:04:02.040,0:04:04.390
and salivating and getting ready now
0:04:04.440,0:04:07.283
for the moment... the moment has arrived
0:04:08.760,0:04:13.128
and the lucky person is...
0:04:14.040,0:04:17.279
Mr Frank Pesce.
0:06:04.919,0:06:06.542
Are you happy now?
0:06:07.919,0:06:11.209
Are you happy, God? [br]You had to do this to me.
0:06:11.699,0:06:13.989
You weren't happy leaving me alone.
0:06:14.039,0:06:17.290
Were you?
0:06:17.340,0:06:18.739
I'll kill you.
0:06:20.720,0:06:22.059
God!
0:06:22.319,0:06:24.126
I never wanted the damn ticket.
0:06:24.404,0:06:25.770
Why did you give it to me?
0:06:27.060,0:06:28.365
I get up every morning.
0:06:28.433,0:06:30.516
I'm fine, I'm a nice guy.
0:06:31.047,0:06:32.610
I know I do something's wrong.
0:06:33.170,0:06:36.460
I was perfectly happy[br]in my life without it.
0:06:36.530,0:06:40.390
- You couldn't leave me alone, could you? [br]- What's going on out here?
0:06:40.440,0:06:42.154
What the hell is your problem?
0:06:43.114,0:06:44.735
Frank, is that you?
0:06:45.761,0:06:48.823
And you? What the hell do you want?
0:06:49.319,0:06:50.812
Get back in there, Larry.
0:06:51.140,0:06:52.060
What's the matter?
0:06:52.060,0:06:53.650
I didn't put on here...
0:06:58.029,0:07:00.630
A lot of good you ever did me.
0:07:01.529,0:07:03.494
I'm gonna call the cops on you, Frank.
0:07:03.574,0:07:04.390
I'm Catholic.
0:07:04.440,0:07:06.700
I can do whatever the hell I want.
0:07:10.800,0:07:12.950
The atheist is here,
0:07:13.020,0:07:13.925
Bring him in.
0:07:13.925,0:07:14.830
I gotta go.
0:07:14.880,0:07:16.172
Merry Christmas, yeah.
0:07:18.310,0:07:20.120
Look, Sergeant. [br]You gotta let me go.
0:07:20.160,0:07:21.830
And I ain't got a lot of time.
0:07:22.380,0:07:24.660
This priest wants to press charges.
0:07:24.760,0:07:26.212
You messed up his manger.
0:07:27.960,0:07:30.130
Oh, Larry. I'm sorry.
0:07:30.180,0:07:31.290
All right.
0:07:31.340,0:07:34.030
Now, all right.
0:07:34.080,0:07:37.202
All right, but why did you do it, Frankie?
0:07:38.699,0:07:40.390
Just let me go.
0:07:40.440,0:07:41.919
All right?
0:07:42.419,0:07:45.240
I just can't sit here [br]and bullshit with you, guys.
0:07:46.510,0:07:47.510
Uncuff him.
0:07:48.780,0:07:49.926
Wait.
0:07:51.060,0:07:52.810
You know, Frank?
0:07:52.860,0:07:54.245
I checked on what you said.
0:07:54.555,0:07:56.557
Your brother is a cop with a 1A.
0:07:56.927,0:07:58.649
You've got no prior record.
0:07:59.139,0:08:01.238
You look like a nice Italian kid.
0:08:02.329,0:08:05.359
What the hell are you doing [br]throwing snowballs at the church,
0:08:05.359,0:08:06.379
scaring the priest?
0:08:06.379,0:08:09.181
It's Christmas Eve. [br]Don't you belong somewhere?
0:08:13.979,0:08:17.350
... who take home 6.2 million dollars.
0:08:17.400,0:08:18.814
When his name was called
0:08:18.814,0:08:20.231
and he failed to come forward
0:08:20.231,0:08:22.815
ushers discovered that Mr Pesce
0:08:22.815,0:08:25.106
apparently had left the drawing ceremony.
0:08:25.740,0:08:28.339
At any rate, [br]congratulations to Frank Pesce
0:08:28.389,0:08:29.859
of Queens New York.
0:08:29.859,0:08:31.329
Wherever you are.
0:08:31.379,0:08:35.129
New Yorkers are flying over [br]more bad economic news today.
0:08:35.329,0:08:38.300
Some say our city is going down...
0:08:39.779,0:08:41.140
That's you?
0:08:41.700,0:08:42.660
Same guy?
0:08:43.560,0:08:44.393
Yeah.
0:08:46.140,0:08:48.525
And then you went [br]and broke windows in the church?
0:08:48.565,0:08:50.281
What are you? Some kind of mameluke?
0:08:52.500,0:08:54.166
It's a long story.
0:08:55.500,0:08:58.030
You're not going anywhere, neither am I,
0:08:58.080,0:09:00.360
until you make [br]some kind of sense out of this.
0:09:01.080,0:09:04.095
I swear to God the only way I know[br]how to tell this story
0:09:04.095,0:09:05.155
is from the beginning.
0:09:05.820,0:09:07.394
I got all night.
0:09:14.700,0:09:18.619
See, I got this... I got this curse.
0:09:21.959,0:09:24.366
I've been lucky since the day I was born.
0:09:26.820,0:09:28.540
It's like my mother...
0:09:29.440,0:09:31.460
She used to work at Lincoln Hospital so...
0:09:31.460,0:09:33.380
that's where I was supposed to be born.
0:09:34.380,0:09:36.490
But she went into labor at a bingo
0:09:36.520,0:09:38.502
a couple of blocks from where we lived.
0:09:39.420,0:09:43.077
So they had to rush her to [br]Bellevue Hospital on 29th Street instead.
0:09:44.459,0:09:47.256
Actually that was my first stroke of luck,
0:09:47.256,0:09:49.982
because on that very night [br]Lincoln Hospital ended up
0:09:49.982,0:09:53.604
having a huge fire and the place [br]nearly burnt to the ground.
0:09:57.240,0:09:59.710
603 is a combination,
0:09:59.760,0:10:05.095
60 cents. 10 cents away. [br]Now the other's a straight action.
0:10:08.240,0:10:10.533
717 for a dollar twenty...
0:10:12.240,0:10:13.895
I'll get right back.
0:10:14.760,0:10:16.938
Would you like to see your son?
0:10:31.080,0:10:34.325
My mom said he always cried [br]when he saw us for the first time.
0:10:34.505,0:10:37.319
My brother, my sister, me.
0:10:43.650,0:10:52.320
Come on. I'm gonna be late.[br]20 minutes from here to Radio City.
0:10:53.700,0:10:54.870
You don't want nothing.
0:10:55.240,0:10:57.995
- Let's walk. Such a beautiful night.[br]-It's eight blocks.
0:10:57.995,0:11:00.456
Yeah, but we're going [br]to see the students' play.
0:11:06.860,0:11:10.434
When I was younger, my dad used to always[br]seem like this giant to me.
0:11:10.434,0:11:13.630
This guy who knew everything[br]about everything.
0:11:13.680,0:11:15.010
What are you looking at?
0:11:15.130,0:11:17.330
- There. [br]- What's that?
0:11:18.180,0:11:19.300
What's that say?
0:11:19.920,0:11:23.499
Well, that says today is [br]President Eisenhower's birthday.
0:11:24.660,0:11:26.550
I want to get my name up there.
0:11:26.990,0:11:29.458
I wouldn't want [br]to have it any other way, Frankie,
0:11:29.458,0:11:31.954
but only great people [br]get their names up there.
0:11:32.014,0:11:33.780
How can I get my name?
0:11:34.000,0:11:36.537
You gotta do something big, Frankie.
0:11:37.040,0:11:38.040
How big?
0:11:38.040,0:11:42.314
- Very very big.[br]- How big?
0:11:44.519,0:11:45.640
This big.
0:11:49.560,0:11:52.554
I guess everyone wants to make [br]his father proud of them.
0:11:52.554,0:11:55.510
So he doesn't feel like a jerk [br]for having you.
0:11:55.560,0:11:59.024
And I figured if I could get my name [br]up on that building,
0:11:59.024,0:12:02.290
at least I could have left [br]some kind of mark on the world.
0:12:03.899,0:12:07.270
In my neighborhood[br]there were two ways to make it.
0:12:07.320,0:12:08.930
One's the right way
0:12:08.930,0:12:10.595
and the other way is the fast way,
0:12:10.595,0:12:14.127
and I gotta tell you the fast way [br]looked pretty attractive to me as a kid.
0:12:14.167,0:12:16.090
Wow! Look at that!
0:12:20.160,0:12:23.890
Loui Tucci is the biggest wise guy [br]in the neighborhood.
0:12:23.940,0:12:25.815
He's poisoned. Don't even look at him.
0:12:25.815,0:12:28.566
Yeah, but I still like his car.
0:12:33.160,0:12:36.635
I'll be better off walking Frankie.[br]Come on.
0:12:39.120,0:12:41.450
My dad could always [br]talk circles around everybody
0:12:41.450,0:12:43.790
and I swear to God [br]I should have run for office
0:12:43.790,0:12:44.935
and been a politician.
0:12:45.360,0:12:47.289
There was this odd thing going on
0:12:47.289,0:12:48.774
between him and Loui Tucci.
0:12:49.114,0:12:51.017
I know my father couldn't stand him
0:12:51.017,0:12:52.970
yet they seemed to be spending [br]a lot of time together,
0:12:52.970,0:12:55.289
especially when my dad lost [br]his trucking company,
0:12:55.329,0:12:56.590
which I'll get to later.
0:13:00.600,0:13:02.460
You say don't look at the guy
0:13:02.570,0:13:05.589
because he's no good,[br]then you hang around with him.
0:13:06.319,0:13:08.790
- You mean Tucci.[br]- Yeah.
0:13:09.060,0:13:11.126
Come on, Frankie.[br]It's business.
0:13:11.330,0:13:13.045
You do business with that guy?
0:13:13.980,0:13:14.745
Never.
0:13:15.839,0:13:16.865
You see, Frankie,
0:13:17.530,0:13:19.440
I don't want to be in business with him.
0:13:19.840,0:13:22.320
I don't want to spend any time[br]with a guy like that.
0:13:22.740,0:13:24.632
- That's why you're with him? [br]- Yeah.
0:13:25.380,0:13:27.870
- Because you don't want to be? [br]- That's right.
0:13:28.540,0:13:30.490
You mean you spend time with them
0:13:30.540,0:13:33.475
because you don't want [br]to spend time with them.
0:13:33.475,0:13:34.833
That's exactly right.
0:13:34.990,0:13:36.740
If I spend less time with them,
0:13:36.740,0:13:38.820
I'd have to spend [br]even more time with them.
0:13:39.300,0:13:41.905
So if you spend no time with them...
0:13:42.240,0:13:43.800
Then I'd be with him constantly.
0:13:44.940,0:13:47.400
I can't wait until I grow up, Pop,
0:13:48.280,0:13:50.686
so I can know [br]what the hell you're talking about.
0:13:51.300,0:13:52.939
Get out of here, wise guy.
0:13:55.800,0:13:56.690
Frankie!
0:13:57.660,0:13:59.110
Don't be late.
0:13:59.160,0:14:00.830
Mama's cooking ginger paste.
0:14:01.234,0:14:02.234
Yeak, dad.
0:14:02.639,0:14:03.804
Growing up didn't help.
0:14:04.184,0:14:06.930
I still don't know [br]what the hell he's talking about.
0:14:10.680,0:14:14.780
This luck thing kept on happening [br]time after time.
0:14:15.300,0:14:18.065
I remember one time I was hanging out [br]with my friend Jimmy Vitello,
0:14:18.065,0:14:19.707
whose father was also in the mob.
0:14:19.707,0:14:23.006
I mean in fact he was [br]the biggest mobster in the tri-state area.
0:14:29.360,0:14:33.530
Whoa! Can you believe it?[br]It was just laying here!
0:14:34.200,0:14:36.760
Hey, let's take it down to Earf's.
0:14:38.940,0:14:40.330
I'll give you five dollars.
0:14:40.800,0:14:42.185
- Five dollars?[br]- Yeah.
0:14:42.185,0:14:43.570
- Are you nuts?
0:14:43.570,0:14:45.770
The thing must be worth [br]a couple hundred bucks.
0:14:45.770,0:14:47.433
Don't be a fucking stiff.
0:14:47.510,0:14:48.920
What a mouth you got!
0:14:48.920,0:14:50.950
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
0:14:51.000,0:14:52.179
Where'd you get this?
0:14:54.549,0:14:55.854
God left it for us.
0:14:55.854,0:14:58.550
Well, I don't want him[br]coming around here looking for it.
0:14:59.170,0:15:00.549
Get it out of here.
0:15:02.479,0:15:04.220
You know who my father is?
0:15:04.280,0:15:07.072
We don't want to have [br]a little misunderstanding, do we?
0:15:14.399,0:15:18.104
10 bucks, that's it.[br]Now get out of here, little bastards!
0:15:18.104,0:15:19.040
Go ahead.
0:15:19.980,0:15:22.260
To a kid this seemed very impressive.
0:15:22.480,0:15:25.070
All you had to do was [br]mention Jimmy Vitello's father
0:15:25.150,0:15:27.789
and, boom, you got [br]whatever the hell you wanted.
0:15:27.839,0:15:29.929
So no matter how far out of line Jimmy got
0:15:29.969,0:15:31.870
the cops never showed up at his house.
0:15:32.760,0:15:35.469
However a member of New York's finest
0:15:35.519,0:15:36.994
did end up in our house.
0:15:37.254,0:15:39.663
My brother Vito decided [br]to become a cop.
0:15:39.733,0:15:43.069
Personally I think it was like getting [br]the wolf to watch the chickens,
0:15:43.249,0:15:46.270
but at least somebody was doing [br]something for the family name.
0:15:57.010,0:15:59.275
Meanwhile I hung around [br]with a bunch of guys
0:15:59.275,0:16:01.700
who were doing [br]absolutely nothing with their lives.
0:16:04.079,0:16:05.284
There was Lenny Nifty.
0:16:05.284,0:16:07.780
You know, we called it needle nose.
0:16:08.070,0:16:10.894
This guy was the definition[br]of postnasal drip.
0:16:10.944,0:16:13.149
Hey, Frank. You know something, Frank?
0:16:13.199,0:16:15.172
Girls love poetry.
0:16:15.360,0:16:16.288
Dig this.
0:16:16.554,0:16:19.126
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
0:16:19.560,0:16:22.930
Grips, baby, it is Petty Pace from day...
0:16:22.980,0:16:24.739
Then there was Dom the bomb.
0:16:24.879,0:16:28.060
Hello, Frankie, how are you today?
0:16:28.190,0:16:30.669
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now listen Frankie...
0:16:30.719,0:16:32.710
This guy actually thought [br]he could sing.
0:16:32.850,0:16:35.390
What am I gonna do? [br]I gotta lose some weight.
0:16:35.550,0:16:37.080
I think I got a gland problem.
0:16:37.280,0:16:38.855
Rocky Sav had a gland problem
0:16:38.855,0:16:40.342
ever since the day he was born.
0:16:40.592,0:16:44.050
Alvus Vinus spat on everything in sight [br]whenever he talked.
0:16:44.180,0:16:46.035
And then there was Jimmy Vitello.
0:16:46.795,0:16:48.672
Boy, wanna make some money?
0:16:49.092,0:16:52.075
Ten thousand dollars cash, tax free.
0:16:52.075,0:16:53.800
We had some pizza the other night.
0:16:56.399,0:16:59.199
Extra cheese, sausage, pepperoni...
0:17:03.599,0:17:04.719
Forget about it.
0:17:05.639,0:17:07.249
While I was hanging around on the street
0:17:07.249,0:17:09.279
bullshitting with my friends all day long,
0:17:09.279,0:17:10.919
my dad was out breaking his ass.
0:17:10.919,0:17:13.046
Ever since he lost his own company,
0:17:13.099,0:17:15.920
he had been working as a driver [br]for some other outfit.
0:17:19.809,0:17:22.513
So every day he had to take [br]the subway to Penn Station.
0:17:22.513,0:17:25.580
Then he would catch a connecting train [br]all the way to Union City
0:17:25.580,0:17:28.760
to drive a truck five days a week [br]through City traffic.
0:17:43.740,0:17:46.260
No wonder the guy had problems relaxing.
0:17:46.740,0:17:48.910
This city is full of freaking dogs.
0:17:48.960,0:17:50.245
We gotta get out of here.
0:17:50.245,0:17:51.317
I've seen that.
0:17:51.317,0:17:54.494
We need a house out of Manhattan,[br]a nice house with our own lawn.
0:17:54.840,0:17:55.815
That's what we need.
0:17:55.885,0:17:58.320
You know, Pop?[br]It's funny that you're saying that,
0:17:58.320,0:18:00.409
because of what I've been thinking.
0:18:00.449,0:18:02.230
I can't wait to hear this.
0:18:02.280,0:18:06.790
The way I figure is that[br]the future is in outer space.
0:18:06.840,0:18:08.970
Maybe I could become an astronaut.
0:18:09.040,0:18:10.673
It's the last frontier, Pop.
0:18:12.059,0:18:13.080
An astronaut?
0:18:13.620,0:18:14.985
Think about it.[br]Look, Pop.
0:18:15.334,0:18:18.735
I could become [br]the first Italian on the moon.
0:18:19.559,0:18:21.455
Oh, don't laugh.
0:18:22.860,0:18:23.839
I wanna...
0:18:24.179,0:18:25.454
I wanna do things
0:18:26.400,0:18:28.150
that I never done before.
0:18:28.280,0:18:29.040
Oh!
0:18:29.940,0:18:31.810
Why don't you try going inside
0:18:31.860,0:18:33.580
and cleaning up your fucking room?
0:18:37.100,0:18:39.327
Come on, Pop, I'm serious.
0:18:41.340,0:18:44.238
I got longings and desires like everybody.
0:18:44.880,0:18:46.530
Are you all right?
0:18:46.860,0:18:49.630
Is there little people [br]going around in your head?
0:18:49.630,0:18:50.830
Or are you putting me on?
0:18:50.880,0:18:55.160
Because I'm talking [br]about reality, here, Frankie.
0:18:55.325,0:18:56.667
Reality, you get it?
0:18:56.667,0:18:58.450
I'm trying to move us to Queens
0:18:58.500,0:19:00.489
and you're talking about picking up
0:19:00.539,0:19:02.192
fucking moon rocks.
0:19:05.039,0:19:05.829
Wow!
0:19:06.049,0:19:07.934
You know what your problem is?
0:19:08.084,0:19:09.066
What's my problem?
0:19:09.840,0:19:11.230
Your dreams are too small.
0:19:15.720,0:19:18.310
Anyway when I was 18 [br]my father got his dream
0:19:18.360,0:19:19.825
and moved us all to Queens.
0:19:20.660,0:19:23.749
He got his other dream too, his own lawn.
0:19:24.179,0:19:26.940
Every afternoon like clockwork [br]he will come home
0:19:27.040,0:19:28.360
and set up the sprinkler.
0:19:39.179,0:19:40.804
So what are we eating tonight?
0:19:41.190,0:19:42.465
She had to order a couple.
0:19:42.465,0:19:44.282
Could you watch your language, please?
0:19:44.282,0:19:45.246
The hell did it go.
0:19:45.246,0:19:46.268
You want this?
0:19:46.268,0:19:49.530
- Why don't you just stop liking pizza?[br]- It's a waste of money.
0:19:50.220,0:19:52.330
But gambling is not a waste of money, uh?
0:19:52.380,0:19:54.850
Who's gambling? You see me gambling?
0:19:54.900,0:19:57.835
I heard you took your son Frankie [br]to the track yesterday.
0:19:57.835,0:20:00.790
You couldn't buy him [br]a miserable hot dog for a buck,
0:20:00.790,0:20:02.780
but I bet you spent four hundred dollars
0:20:02.780,0:20:04.568
on a horse that came in dead last.
0:20:05.760,0:20:06.631
Go ahead.
0:20:07.740,0:20:08.664
Tell me I'm wrong.
0:20:11.000,0:20:12.286
You see my name on this?
0:20:13.140,0:20:15.550
You see my name anywhere?
0:20:15.600,0:20:18.009
I'm so sorry. That must have been
0:20:18.059,0:20:19.859
some other guy wearing your pants.
0:20:22.020,0:20:24.129
How much does the pizza cost?
0:20:24.179,0:20:25.690
Seven bucks.
0:20:25.740,0:20:26.969
Seven bucks, huh?
0:20:27.960,0:20:30.002
It probably cost 25 cents to make.
0:20:31.080,0:20:33.270
- So... [br]- So?
0:20:33.930,0:20:35.060
I'm a man of principle
0:20:35.060,0:20:39.704
and I ain't paying 27 times[br]what it's worth. That's so.
0:20:41.280,0:20:44.118
Not for nothing, Pop.[br]But did you pay for this.
0:20:45.299,0:20:47.144
You're making a joke, Frankie?
0:20:47.144,0:20:49.737
My family could start a fight[br]over absolutely anything.
0:20:50.047,0:20:51.850
What's the weather for tomorrow?
0:20:51.900,0:20:53.530
I heard it's gonna rain.
0:20:53.580,0:20:54.955
That ain't what I heard.
0:20:54.955,0:20:56.432
What the hell do you hear?
0:20:56.432,0:20:57.631
Never mind. Frankie.
0:20:57.631,0:20:58.724
Where'd you hear rain?
0:20:59.290,0:21:00.520
I heard it on the radio.
0:21:00.520,0:21:02.800
The weather man says [br]it's gonna rain tomorrow.
0:21:02.800,0:21:04.830
Typical, Vito. You listen to the radio?
0:21:04.830,0:21:06.035
They're always wrong.
0:21:06.035,0:21:08.910
Hey hey ho ho, do me a favor [br]with the goddamn weather here.
0:21:08.910,0:21:10.520
With the weather, with the rain,
0:21:10.520,0:21:12.660
with Mars with the rain who gives a shit
0:21:12.660,0:21:14.508
about sun and rain?
0:21:14.590,0:21:15.299
I do, Pop,
0:21:15.299,0:21:17.770
you don't pay ten dollars [br]to get your hair done.
0:21:17.820,0:21:20.170
My hair frizzes is in the rain.
0:21:20.170,0:21:22.110
Listen, witch. Leave your broom at home,
0:21:22.110,0:21:24.080
don't go out and your hair won't get wet.
0:21:24.080,0:21:26.710
This Christmas I got two seaters you
0:21:26.760,0:21:28.680
you could just jump right on with me.
0:21:30.840,0:21:32.104
Fucking shit!
0:21:32.104,0:21:34.289
Who's gonna marry you [br]with a mouth like that!
0:21:34.679,0:21:38.320
Two months later she married [br]a Sicilian guy named Tony.
0:21:44.100,0:21:46.970
And Tony didn't make[br]too big of a hit with the family.
0:22:09.985,0:22:12.885
The Vietnam war was raging full force.
0:22:17.820,0:22:21.209
Guys from the neighborhood[br]were coming up in boxes every week.
0:22:27.120,0:22:28.719
We all got letters in the mail
0:22:28.719,0:22:30.970
and had to go [br]to the draft board to sign up.
0:22:31.060,0:22:34.189
So we were about to do [br]what was right for our country.
0:22:34.559,0:22:37.120
You know, I just [br]developed a theory on life.
0:22:37.240,0:22:38.455
Oh, yeah. What's that?
0:22:38.975,0:22:39.920
Okay, listen,
0:22:39.920,0:22:41.370
because it's very complicated.
0:22:41.590,0:22:44.180
First you're born and you're like a baby,
0:22:44.240,0:22:48.122
a child, and then [br]you start the adolescence.
0:22:49.260,0:22:50.950
Then you grow old,
0:22:51.000,0:22:53.290
and then you grow old, and then you die.
0:22:53.340,0:22:55.145
And that's it.
0:22:55.545,0:22:56.330
Like you said,
0:22:57.000,0:22:58.390
no offense,
0:22:58.440,0:23:01.581
but that's the stupidest[br]fucking thing I ever...
0:23:03.179,0:23:06.309
All right, laugh. [br]But if you stop and think about it,
0:23:06.309,0:23:08.240
it makes a lot of sense.
0:23:11.400,0:23:13.330
Nearly a thousand eighteen year olds who
0:23:13.380,0:23:15.129
have reported a city with it.
0:23:15.179,0:23:16.989
Getting a load of these guys I figured
0:23:17.039,0:23:19.533
we could win a Vietnam War [br]in about 15 minutes.
0:23:34.133,0:23:38.498
Quiet down, you motherfuckers!
0:23:39.179,0:23:41.410
This guy looks tough.
0:23:41.460,0:23:44.530
Yeah, he looks real tough.
0:23:44.580,0:23:46.210
Donnie Frank.
0:23:46.260,0:23:51.790
All right, as of this minute,
0:23:51.840,0:23:53.796
all of you here
0:23:54.539,0:23:59.830
is now the property [br]of the United States government.
0:23:59.880,0:24:04.070
Now, if anybody here
0:24:04.320,0:24:05.843
has been in jail,
0:24:07.020,0:24:09.558
who is out on bail,
0:24:10.500,0:24:15.849
please move to the right side [br]of the auditorium.
0:24:25.710,0:24:28.020
All the fucking room got up.
0:24:34.080,0:24:36.745
You've got to be shitting me.
0:24:37.952,0:24:39.162
Excuse me, sir.
0:24:43.799,0:24:47.582
I don't think it's fair that we got[br]to take a test that we didn't study for.
0:24:48.370,0:24:52.066
It's a goddamn urine exmination, boy!
0:24:52.919,0:24:55.830
I'm sorry, I misunderstood.[br]I thought it was something else.
0:24:56.280,0:24:57.879
What's your name, boy?
0:25:00.780,0:25:02.244
Frank Pesce, sir.
0:25:04.372,0:25:06.962
You know? Pesce means fish in italian.
0:25:07.210,0:25:10.363
I don't give a goddamn what it means.
0:25:10.980,0:25:14.968
- Sorry, sir.[br]- Is there something wrong with you, boy?
0:25:18.059,0:25:18.800
No.
0:25:19.380,0:25:21.939
Not that I'm aware of, sir.
0:25:22.679,0:25:25.390
You got a high school diploma?
0:25:25.440,0:25:26.250
No, sir.
0:25:27.000,0:25:31.270
You ain't got no high school diploma?
0:25:31.320,0:25:34.179
No, sir. No diploma, sir.
0:25:41.700,0:25:43.280
I think he likes you.
0:25:46.320,0:25:49.718
Okay, cover your left eye [br]and read line seven on the chart.
0:25:59.760,0:26:00.799
Get out of here.
0:26:01.679,0:26:02.733
All right.
0:26:04.380,0:26:05.230
Yeah.
0:26:05.460,0:26:07.853
Where the hell is Frank Pesce?
0:26:08.700,0:26:09.562
Pesce!
0:26:10.080,0:26:12.010
Frank Pesce, get the hell out of here.
0:26:12.060,0:26:13.150
Yes, sir.
0:26:13.200,0:26:17.950
Did I not ask you [br]if you had a high school diploma?
0:26:18.000,0:26:20.890
Yes, sir. You asked me that.[br]I remember you asking me that.
0:26:20.940,0:26:24.070
And what did you tell me?
0:26:26.700,0:26:28.810
That I didn't have one.
0:26:28.860,0:26:33.729
According to my files, [br]you have a high school diploma.
0:26:33.779,0:26:35.311
We have got one,
0:26:35.940,0:26:36.969
just not on me.
0:26:37.579,0:26:40.054
You get the hell up there [br]and see the psychiatrist.
0:26:40.164,0:26:41.685
Get the hell out of here.
0:26:42.659,0:26:44.470
You got four cards in your hand...
0:26:44.520,0:26:45.899
I don't if...
0:26:45.919,0:26:47.220
It's too early in the game.
0:26:47.230,0:26:48.480
I'm picking them up.
0:26:54.000,0:26:55.760
Here comes General Custer.
0:26:56.540,0:26:58.575
Come here, Frank. I want to talk to you.
0:26:58.575,0:27:00.179
10 million guys [br]trying to beat the draft
0:27:00.179,0:27:01.450
and only you could get away with it.
0:27:01.460,0:27:02.275
What do you mean?
0:27:02.275,0:27:03.725
You see this letter?
0:27:03.760,0:27:05.860
The United States government thinks that
0:27:05.860,0:27:07.653
you are a calculated risk.
0:27:08.520,0:27:09.725
It's that good or bad?
0:27:09.775,0:27:14.030
- They think you are nuts.[br]- So now the Army knows
0:27:14.030,0:27:16.749
what the whole neighborhood knows.[br]You're fucking crazy.
0:27:16.799,0:27:18.769
I'm very sorry I'm letting you guys down,
0:27:18.949,0:27:20.855
by not stepping on a landmine.
0:27:21.170,0:27:22.079
What's so funny?
0:27:22.079,0:27:24.239
I'm supposed to go to all my friends [br]in the neighborhood
0:27:24.239,0:27:25.679
and say that my son's a nut job.
0:27:25.679,0:27:27.770
That's why he's not in the Army, huh?
0:27:27.770,0:27:29.640
You got to have mental illness, right?
0:27:29.640,0:27:31.210
And I'll tell you something else.
0:27:31.300,0:27:35.880
You're ruined, you're ruined.[br]You'll never get a city job, never.
0:27:37.160,0:27:40.160
Excuse me. I'll just get a rope.[br]I'll hang myself.
0:27:42.460,0:27:44.220
Mentally disqualified just reflects
0:27:44.220,0:27:45.490
on the whole family.
0:27:45.490,0:27:48.235
So I got out of the war [br]but I knew it was no accident.
0:27:48.720,0:27:50.205
It was my lucky star.
0:27:53.400,0:27:55.260
What do you have to figure out?
0:28:01.929,0:28:03.009
My dad was wrong.
0:28:03.299,0:28:05.270
I did end up getting a city job,
0:28:05.310,0:28:08.539
and it ended up being [br]the luckiest thing to happen to me yet.
0:28:09.299,0:28:12.470
And it would show itself[br]in the face of Maria Rios.
0:28:26.279,0:28:29.872
The 7:10 train can't leave at 6 30.
0:28:31.440,0:28:32.360
Ma'am.
0:28:32.760,0:28:36.648
They call it the 7:10 train [br]because it leaves at seven ten.
0:28:37.440,0:28:40.473
Ah, you thought [br]that was the number of the train.
0:28:41.940,0:28:42.788
I see.
0:28:43.380,0:28:44.570
What an idiot!
0:28:45.980,0:28:50.339
No, no. Not 7:45.
0:28:51.059,0:28:54.000
Ma'am, trust me on my mother's eyes.
0:28:54.100,0:28:56.451
The train leaves at 8 30.
0:28:57.539,0:28:58.680
I don't care.
0:28:59.460,0:29:00.529
I don't care.
0:29:01.799,0:29:03.850
All right, all right. I'll tell you what.
0:29:03.900,0:29:06.109
Why don't you come down here at 7:45
0:29:06.119,0:29:08.054
and if the fucking thing starts moving
0:29:08.054,0:29:09.050
jump on it?
0:29:14.270,0:29:15.590
Frank, you're bad.
0:29:16.380,0:29:18.630
You know you got the most beautiful eyes.
0:29:18.720,0:29:20.924
Cut it down, Frankie,[br]we're gonna get caught.
0:29:20.980,0:29:23.470
We're not gonna get caught.
0:29:23.520,0:29:25.302
I own this place.
0:29:38.700,0:29:39.557
Hey, look.
0:29:42.349,0:29:44.459
I'm gonna make a family announcement.
0:29:44.459,0:29:47.059
I'd like to congratulate [br]my youngest son Frankie Jr,
0:29:47.059,0:29:50.490
who bears my name, [br]for having been fired today.
0:29:53.600,0:29:57.769
You held that job for uh... eight months?
0:29:58.380,0:30:01.450
That's a record. [br]I'm pointing out your progress.
0:30:01.500,0:30:03.310
Dad, I didn't like that job anyway.
0:30:03.310,0:30:05.377
Besides I got a new angle on my life.
0:30:05.750,0:30:08.380
- I can't wait to hear this.[br]- Yeah, me too.
0:30:08.480,0:30:09.580
Shut up.
0:30:12.779,0:30:14.590
While I was working there,
0:30:14.640,0:30:17.120
I was thinking [br]I never had to look at the board,
0:30:17.210,0:30:19.490
I always knew which trains went where,
0:30:19.490,0:30:21.000
I knew every schedule by heart.
0:30:21.310,0:30:22.570
You know what that means.
0:30:23.520,0:30:26.035
You got a natural talent[br]for useless information.
0:30:27.667,0:30:29.847
No, it means I have a good head[br]for numbers.
0:30:29.983,0:30:31.893
I could be in an accounting firm.
0:30:32.106,0:30:33.686
That's a terrific idea, Frankie.
0:30:33.872,0:30:35.562
You can do that on account.
0:30:35.920,0:30:37.040
On account of what?
0:30:37.125,0:30:39.545
On account of you, moron!
0:30:42.149,0:30:45.310
If they made you a detective [br]anything is possible, you horned one.
0:30:45.329,0:30:46.810
Hey, don't curse.
0:30:46.860,0:30:48.489
Can I shoot him for saying that?
0:30:50.039,0:30:52.150
I got something very serious to say here.
0:30:52.200,0:30:54.724
I've been thinking [br]about that lawn out there.
0:30:55.404,0:30:57.369
Bluegrass of Kentucky,[br]what do you think?
0:30:57.419,0:30:58.940
I got a relative in Kentucky...
0:30:59.420,0:31:00.729
Shut up!
0:31:00.779,0:31:02.170
What the hell is it?
0:31:02.220,0:31:03.694
That's the best grass there is.
0:31:04.269,0:31:05.760
Grass is grass, Pop.
0:31:05.850,0:31:08.360
You don't know a damn thing [br]about anything, do you?
0:31:08.550,0:31:11.740
Enough with this lawn already.
0:31:12.020,0:31:14.959
Yeah, you're driving [br]everybody crazy with that lawn.
0:31:22.200,0:31:23.249
What happened, Tommy?
0:31:24.059,0:31:25.589
Got dressed in a hurry tonight?
0:31:26.159,0:31:27.462
You left your shirt home?
0:31:27.980,0:31:30.295
Ask her.[br]She hasn't done the wash in a week.
0:31:30.375,0:31:32.530
- What?[br]- What do you mean by "she"?
0:31:32.580,0:31:33.940
Her name's Madeline.
0:31:34.500,0:31:36.091
And what is she? Your servant?
0:31:36.840,0:31:38.425
Like I'm not your servant.
0:31:38.425,0:31:39.680
That's different.
0:31:40.860,0:31:42.030
How's it different?
0:31:42.280,0:31:43.655
It's different, that's all.
0:31:43.735,0:31:46.192
Pop, could you just [br]not start tonight, please?
0:31:46.462,0:31:48.273
Ma, thanks for spaghetti.
0:31:48.273,0:31:49.141
It was great.
0:31:49.141,0:31:51.079
What's wrong?[br]Where you going?
0:31:51.299,0:31:52.654
I'm going out.[br]Can you tell?
0:31:52.654,0:31:53.479
Where you going?
0:31:54.059,0:31:56.610
- I got a date.[br]- With whom?
0:31:57.179,0:31:58.123
With a girl.
0:31:59.240,0:32:00.945
- What girl?[br]- Maria.
0:32:00.945,0:32:01.797
Who's Maria?
0:32:01.797,0:32:03.560
The Spanish girl [br]from Spanish Harlem,
0:32:03.560,0:32:05.375
the one you told me to stay away from.
0:32:05.375,0:32:08.485
Three months he's been a detective[br]and he's knocking on everybody.
0:32:08.535,0:32:09.537
Hey, he's right.
0:32:10.529,0:32:13.060
- Mum, you know where my gun is?[br]- Frankie.
0:32:13.200,0:32:15.489
I told you to stay away from her.
0:32:15.539,0:32:17.010
But she's a nice girl.
0:32:17.070,0:32:18.940
Do you see my service revolver around?
0:32:18.940,0:32:21.099
- I'm late.[br]- I don't care how nice she is.
0:32:21.099,0:32:22.819
She's Spanish, she's a Puerto Rican,
0:32:22.819,0:32:25.009
and historically Puerto Ricans [br]hate Italians.
0:32:25.849,0:32:27.419
If you go up the Spanish Harlem,
0:32:27.419,0:32:28.749
you're gonna get hurt.
0:32:29.389,0:32:30.454
Where's my gun?
0:32:30.524,0:32:31.941
Enough with the gun, Jesus!
0:32:31.981,0:32:35.450
I gotta do everything around here.[br]I gotta find your gun.
0:32:35.500,0:32:37.480
Maybe I should ride in the car with you.
0:32:37.490,0:32:40.331
Dad, her brother Jesús[br]loves me like a brother, all right?
0:32:40.740,0:32:41.990
Do what you want.
0:33:13.380,0:33:15.175
Hey, Jesús. How you doing?
0:33:17.340,0:33:19.120
Keep away from my sister.
0:33:32.640,0:33:37.279
Help me!
0:33:38.969,0:33:40.930
Is it a catholic hospital?
0:33:40.980,0:33:42.910
I'm a catholic.
0:33:42.960,0:33:45.983
If I'm gonna die, [br]I want to die in a catholic hospital.
0:33:49.200,0:33:51.071
It's nothing serious,
0:33:51.071,0:33:52.484
it's just a little problem.
0:33:52.484,0:33:54.676
He just wants to talk to you[br]just for a minute.
0:33:54.706,0:33:55.619
You're all right?
0:33:56.279,0:33:57.669
Looks good, huh?
0:33:58.860,0:33:59.878
How are you, Frank?
0:34:00.480,0:34:02.369
What is it? I'm gonna be okay, am I?
0:34:02.779,0:34:04.507
God was with you on this one.
0:34:04.574,0:34:06.241
If you hadn't received this injury,
0:34:06.241,0:34:08.449
we'd never caught[br]this other problem in time.
0:34:09.359,0:34:10.170
What?
0:34:11.700,0:34:13.611
I'm gonna be okay, am I?
0:34:13.810,0:34:15.409
X-ray show that you have a tumor
0:34:15.409,0:34:18.009
on one of your ribs,[br]right below your stabbed bone.
0:34:18.244,0:34:19.197
A tumor?
0:34:20.067,0:34:21.220
That's cancer!
0:34:21.341,0:34:23.590
I'm going to have to go [br]in there and remove it.
0:34:24.960,0:34:25.970
What's with his eyes?
0:34:26.760,0:34:28.550
It's a little condition or something.
0:34:28.550,0:34:29.500
Condition?
0:34:30.540,0:34:31.319
It's funny.
0:34:31.859,0:34:33.489
No, it ain't funny.
0:34:34.349,0:34:36.964
This guy's got to cut me up[br]and look inside of me.
0:34:37.044,0:34:39.282
One minute he's looking [br]at the air conditioner
0:34:39.282,0:34:41.135
and the next minute [br]he's looking at me.
0:34:41.135,0:34:42.942
Thank you, Frank.[br]You gotta calm down,
0:34:42.942,0:34:44.170
you gotta take it easy.
0:34:44.220,0:34:47.080
I mean this surgeon [br]is one of the finest in New York.
0:34:47.879,0:34:49.961
He operated on cousin Ernie's lungs.
0:34:50.580,0:34:51.850
Cousin Earnie is dead.
0:34:52.859,0:34:54.034
That couldn't be helped.
0:34:54.034,0:34:56.680
He died of a heart attack.[br]His lungs were clean.
0:34:56.940,0:34:59.830
The Neptune Society, a simple dignified
0:34:59.880,0:35:02.640
low-cost alternative [br]to the high-priced funeral
0:35:02.720,0:35:04.892
wants you [br]to spend your money on the living,
0:35:04.892,0:35:06.221
not the undertaker.
0:35:06.601,0:35:07.885
Oh yeah, look at that.
0:35:07.885,0:35:10.467
It's one of Dr Puccini's patients [br]up there right now.
0:35:11.099,0:35:12.716
What are you laughing about?
0:35:20.940,0:35:22.970
I'm out of my mind with depression.
0:35:23.050,0:35:24.584
I gotta see this nun on my floor
0:35:24.584,0:35:27.057
for a little spiritual advice, [br]to help me through all this.
0:35:27.057,0:35:28.278
You know what she says?
0:35:28.928,0:35:32.004
Whatever is God's will [br]is God's will, my son.
0:35:36.890,0:35:38.520
The truth is that it was cancer.
0:35:38.700,0:35:41.430
But I ended up beating it [br]because they caught it in time.
0:35:41.830,0:35:43.710
Needless to say I recovered quickly.
0:35:44.250,0:35:47.220
And though I didn't live in Queens,[br]I was always on 29th Street,
0:35:47.220,0:35:49.060
because that's where the action was.
0:36:02.220,0:36:04.170
The club was run by Fili D'Neb,
0:36:04.170,0:36:05.805
the local bookmaker who smelled
0:36:05.805,0:36:08.380
like he was constantly [br]sucking on a clove of garlic.
0:36:10.730,0:36:13.250
How can you get such great cards like this
0:36:13.310,0:36:14.901
and be so fucking stupid.
0:36:15.260,0:36:16.695
God protects the dumb.
0:36:17.235,0:36:19.062
You need a lifetime protection.
0:36:19.512,0:36:20.770
How about this one?
0:36:20.820,0:36:23.090
How does a guy get stabbed [br]up in Spanish Harlem
0:36:23.090,0:36:25.664
and have it turned [br]into the thing that saves his life?
0:36:25.664,0:36:29.100
The problem is you got the luck.[br]You were born with it.
0:36:29.100,0:36:32.060
The pitiful part is you don't know[br]what the hell to do with it.
0:36:32.060,0:36:35.015
Some people are born with it [br]and they know what to do with it.
0:36:37.780,0:36:41.759
Philly The Nap, a narcoleptic.
0:36:42.119,0:36:43.780
He would nod out without warning,
0:36:43.780,0:36:45.670
and a second later he'd snap out of it.
0:36:48.839,0:36:49.975
How long was I out?
0:36:50.027,0:36:51.217
Three and a half weeks.
0:36:52.260,0:36:58.305
A wise guy, right? [br]And you, learn what to do with the luck.
0:36:58.305,0:36:59.890
You got it.
0:36:59.940,0:37:02.080
Will you take it downwind,[br]will you?
0:37:14.950,0:37:17.615
Remember what I told you [br]about the right way to make it
0:37:17.615,0:37:18.629
and the fast way?
0:37:19.760,0:37:22.099
The right way wasn't working out [br]too well for me,
0:37:22.339,0:37:24.251
so I decided to try it the fast way.
0:37:25.020,0:37:27.945
These heavyweight wise guys came up [br]from Mulberry Street
0:37:27.945,0:37:29.579
to set up the gambling operation.
0:37:30.119,0:37:32.170
They chose the bakery next door
0:37:32.220,0:37:34.599
after talking to Billy, [br]the guy who owned them.
0:37:41.224,0:37:42.624
Still being a jerko,
0:37:42.690,0:37:45.150
I went to look for a job [br]as a guy at the front door
0:37:45.150,0:37:47.230
instead of looking for one's deployment.
0:37:47.520,0:37:49.820
So I talked to Jimmy [br]about getting a job there.
0:37:54.480,0:37:55.793
I was told to talk to you.
0:37:56.239,0:37:58.009
Yeah? And by who?
0:37:58.714,0:38:00.084
I can't say.
0:38:00.420,0:38:01.880
You know somebody?
0:38:02.280,0:38:03.100
Yeah.
0:38:03.540,0:38:04.873
But I can't say.
0:38:05.820,0:38:06.960
Who do you know?
0:38:07.920,0:38:09.560
I told you I can't say.
0:38:10.070,0:38:11.769
What the fuck is his name?
0:38:14.280,0:38:15.374
Jimmy Vitello.
0:38:16.320,0:38:18.257
No. Never mention no names.
0:38:18.390,0:38:20.500
Never mention names [br]like that in this joint.
0:38:20.500,0:38:22.319
It's a bad thing to do. Never never...
0:38:22.319,0:38:25.839
- You asked me! [br]- You're wrong there.
0:38:25.859,0:38:27.763
Anyway I got the job,
0:38:28.159,0:38:31.440
and I had enough money saved [br]to go in with Vito on a car.
0:38:33.850,0:38:36.310
- Who's gonna talk?[br]- I'm talking, this is bullshit.
0:38:36.370,0:38:39.559
You know I want to order this car[br]before it goes out of the day.
0:38:43.350,0:38:45.675
Right with a white vinyl top [br]and rear defroster.
0:38:45.675,0:38:48.702
AM FM stereo, tinted windows, [br]and a tilted wheel.
0:38:49.023,0:38:50.551
Shut up, all right?
0:38:50.640,0:38:53.289
For our 200th time, [br]I know how to order a car.
0:38:53.339,0:38:56.527
- Just relax.[br]- White with a white vinyl top.
0:39:07.079,0:39:09.610
What's this? This is not our car.
0:39:09.660,0:39:11.930
- This is the car.[br]- What are you talking about?
0:39:12.030,0:39:14.419
I told you. [br]White with a white vinyl top.
0:39:14.969,0:39:17.630
- But the guy said...[br]- I don't care what the guy said.
0:39:17.760,0:39:21.545
- I thought it was wide.[br]- I don't want this.
0:39:21.545,0:39:23.150
I'm not gonna pay for it.
0:39:23.340,0:39:25.600
Here, come here.
0:39:25.650,0:39:27.960
- You stay over there.[br]- Come here for one minute.
0:39:28.210,0:39:30.110
- Don't fuck around.[br]- Why would I...
0:39:31.235,0:39:32.836
Stay there! Dad!
0:39:33.720,0:39:35.790
- Tell him to stay there.[br]- What is that?
0:39:35.830,0:39:37.030
This is our car.
0:39:54.200,0:39:57.010
Hey, Mr Pesce. How you doing?
0:39:57.300,0:39:58.540
Everything all right?
0:40:09.300,0:40:11.159
- Punk.[br]- Pop.
0:40:12.480,0:40:15.367
You know a man is judged[br]by the company that keeps, Frankie.
0:40:17.340,0:40:18.855
What about you, Pop?
0:40:18.855,0:40:20.800
Out here keeping company [br]with the crickets.
0:40:21.780,0:40:23.427
You're a smart ass, huh?
0:40:23.577,0:40:26.812
I'm still very capable of smacking[br]the shit out of you if I have to.
0:40:27.660,0:40:29.170
Today you're watching the door.
0:40:29.170,0:40:30.870
What are you going to do tomorrow?
0:40:30.870,0:40:32.430
You're gonna hold some guy down
0:40:32.430,0:40:34.740
while he hits him over the head[br]with a tire iron?
0:40:34.740,0:40:36.495
Dad, it's just temporary, all right?
0:40:36.495,0:40:38.912
I'm saving the money up [br]so I can do bigger things.
0:40:38.912,0:40:39.862
Like what?
0:40:40.320,0:40:41.351
I don't know.
0:40:41.645,0:40:43.690
Frankie, this is it. This is all there is.
0:40:44.940,0:40:47.060
You get a job, you make a living.
0:40:47.280,0:40:50.346
You meet a girl,[br]you get married and you have kids.
0:40:50.700,0:40:52.136
There's nothing else to it.
0:40:52.800,0:40:54.624
Pop, this can't be it, right?
0:40:54.624,0:40:56.747
What if I want to do something else?
0:40:56.747,0:40:57.910
Like what?
0:40:57.960,0:40:59.770
I don't know. Will you quit asking me?
0:40:59.820,0:41:02.100
Look, I'm miserable, you're miserable.
0:41:02.530,0:41:05.110
You're miserable.[br]You know what you gotta do?
0:41:05.160,0:41:07.306
You got to find yourself a hobby.
0:41:07.880,0:41:09.910
That's right. You got to get something
0:41:09.960,0:41:12.269
that's going to give you pleasure.
0:41:12.784,0:41:14.414
Like me and my lawn.
0:41:14.806,0:41:16.406
Get out!
0:41:16.649,0:41:19.302
Stop! Don't hit the cat!
0:41:20.700,0:41:23.287
The heat from his body [br]is burning a hole in my lawn.
0:41:27.900,0:41:29.534
Isn't it a big difference?
0:41:31.079,0:41:31.994
What?
0:41:32.274,0:41:34.263
The bluegrass of Kentucky.
0:41:35.100,0:41:37.479
I don't notice any difference.
0:41:37.920,0:41:39.600
You don't notice no difference?
0:41:40.320,0:41:41.054
No.
0:41:41.054,0:41:43.306
That's because [br]you don't have the eye, Frankie.
0:41:43.800,0:41:44.595
The eye.
0:41:46.200,0:41:47.266
What eye?
0:41:47.435,0:41:48.810
The eye! The eye!
0:41:49.675,0:41:50.675
What eye!
0:41:51.110,0:41:53.820
If you had the eye,[br]you'd know what I was talking about.
0:41:53.820,0:41:57.670
But obviously [br]you don't have the eye, Frankie.
0:41:57.720,0:41:59.335
Well, Pop. I wish I had this eye,
0:41:59.335,0:42:02.360
because then I would know [br]what the hell you were talking about.
0:42:02.460,0:42:06.130
Well, I'm just uh listening [br]to a different drum, Frank.
0:42:06.180,0:42:08.049
So now there are drums.
0:42:08.049,0:42:10.020
There's a lot of shit happening out here.
0:42:10.020,0:42:11.830
That's right.
0:42:11.830,0:42:13.760
Lottery comes to New York. [br]Take a look.
0:42:13.920,0:42:16.858
You and 20 million other people[br]seen that today, all right?
0:42:16.858,0:42:18.573
And there's always hope, kid.
0:42:18.573,0:42:20.950
Not for your Pop, there's no hope.
0:42:21.475,0:42:22.765
Bullshit!
0:42:26.040,0:42:26.893
Hi, Mom.
0:42:26.931,0:42:27.931
How you doing?
0:42:28.120,0:42:29.044
Perfect timing.
0:42:29.044,0:42:31.202
Get out of there! [br]What's the matter with you?
0:42:31.202,0:42:32.230
Go wash your hands.
0:42:32.280,0:42:33.995
You come in bringing them germs
0:42:34.005,0:42:36.230
and sticking them in the sauce like that!
0:42:36.250,0:42:39.840
Hey! Out of my chair, Bob.
0:42:39.900,0:42:40.898
Just get out.
0:42:43.680,0:42:46.930
I have to go to work. I have a job.
0:42:46.980,0:42:48.315
Not like some people I know.
0:42:48.315,0:42:50.910
And what are you doing [br]sticking at this slumber party?
0:42:50.910,0:42:52.595
Where is your father?
0:42:53.400,0:42:57.430
He's outside with the Bluegrass of [br]Kentucky and the eye and the drums...
0:42:57.510,0:42:59.230
Don't give him a hard time.
0:42:59.280,0:43:00.225
Why not?
0:43:01.560,0:43:03.086
He got laid off from work.
0:43:04.500,0:43:05.755
He got laid off?
0:43:05.825,0:43:06.690
You heard her.
0:43:07.500,0:43:09.198
Would you go call your father, huh?
0:43:10.560,0:43:12.780
Get off your ass and go call your father!
0:43:12.805,0:43:13.745
All right! I'll go.
0:43:14.760,0:43:15.837
That was serious.
0:43:16.440,0:43:18.035
We were just getting by as it was
0:43:18.035,0:43:20.360
and I knew that we were in [br]for some hard times.
0:43:20.640,0:43:24.056
At the same time [br]the neighborhood was going nuts.
0:43:24.136,0:43:25.932
Everybody had lottery fever.
0:43:26.509,0:43:29.320
Me? I wouldn't have [br]anything to do with it.
0:43:30.960,0:43:33.833
Rocky, what are you gonna do [br]with your millions?
0:43:34.760,0:43:36.865
You don't play, you don't win, Frank.
0:43:36.865,0:43:38.147
So that's original.
0:43:38.147,0:43:40.969
You'll turn into [br]a freaking Rockefeller, Rocky.
0:43:42.989,0:43:44.850
My father could have probably supported
0:43:44.850,0:43:47.519
the New York State [br]Lottery Commission all by himself.
0:43:47.929,0:43:49.668
He was going for the big one.
0:43:50.778,0:43:53.290
It ain't right, but I've been[br]collecting unemployment checks
0:43:53.290,0:43:54.475
while I was working at the club.
0:43:54.475,0:43:55.830
And it was a lucky thing too
0:43:55.830,0:43:58.009
because I picked Labor Day[br]to cash that check.
0:43:58.009,0:43:59.560
The banks were all closed.
0:43:59.570,0:44:02.315
Earf's pawn shop was the only joint[br]on the block that was open.
0:44:02.315,0:44:03.972
Hey, Frankie!
0:44:04.232,0:44:07.210
- How are you? Everything okay?[br]- Yeah.
0:44:07.260,0:44:09.850
How's the family? [br]Your mother, your father,
0:44:09.900,0:44:11.624
your beautiful sister Mary...
0:44:11.624,0:44:15.670
Everybody's fine.[br]Look. I gotta cash a check, all right?
0:44:15.720,0:44:16.830
You got an ID?
0:44:19.140,0:44:19.849
Earf!
0:44:20.339,0:44:23.184
How's my sister? How's my mum?[br]You're asking me for ID?
0:44:23.184,0:44:25.940
Frank, I'm sorry, that's the way it is.
0:44:25.980,0:44:29.192
You got to have[br]two forms of identification.
0:44:29.192,0:44:31.092
Earf, you know who my father is, right?
0:44:31.092,0:44:33.410
We don't want to have[br]a misunderstanding, do we?
0:44:33.740,0:44:38.625
Well, all right. [br]For you Frankie I'll make an exception.
0:44:39.180,0:44:40.295
Thanks, Earf.
0:44:40.295,0:44:43.784
But you're gonna buy something,[br]a minimum of 10 bucks.
0:44:44.374,0:44:46.690
- I gotta buy something.[br]- Yeah.
0:44:46.740,0:44:48.490
What am I gonna buy in this place?
0:44:48.630,0:44:49.670
A fucking ukulele?
0:44:49.670,0:44:53.789
I'm not Chase Manhattan, Frank.[br]Minimum of 10 bucks.
0:44:53.839,0:44:56.404
This looks like [br]the same shit you had here...
0:44:56.404,0:44:57.787
All right, all right, all right...
0:44:57.787,0:45:01.390
Give me give me that piece of [br]shit binoculars...
0:45:01.440,0:45:02.296
Hey.
0:45:04.039,0:45:05.070
Beautiful.
0:45:10.240,0:45:12.854
- Nine bucks.[br]- Oh, come on.
0:45:12.854,0:45:14.352
I gotta charge you ten.
0:45:14.810,0:45:15.520
No, no.
0:45:17.460,0:45:19.170
Make up the difference, all right?
0:45:19.740,0:45:21.770
Give me one of them lottery tickets.
0:45:27.550,0:45:29.419
Everything is a chore with this guy.
0:45:30.599,0:45:32.600
You've got a beautiful pair of binoculars.
0:45:33.100,0:45:34.270
They're beautiful.
0:45:34.880,0:45:39.849
All right. One, two, three, four, five...
0:45:40.069,0:45:41.080
Come on.
0:45:45.180,0:45:46.515
Don't forget the binoculars.
0:45:46.554,0:45:48.152
We're gonna forget the binoculars
0:45:48.152,0:45:52.160
It cost me nine bucks.
0:45:53.170,0:45:54.280
And that was it.
0:45:54.780,0:45:56.665
I thought it was such a waste of money
0:45:56.665,0:45:59.156
I never even told my father[br]that I bought it.
0:46:03.678,0:46:04.938
And then it happened.
0:46:05.520,0:46:08.379
I was on a subway sometime in November.
0:46:25.679,0:46:26.679
Shit!
0:46:28.260,0:46:31.342
I don't believe it.[br]I don't believe it!
0:46:32.099,0:46:33.910
I'm a finalist in the lottery!
0:46:33.910,0:46:35.899
Right here, I'm a finalist in the lottery!
0:46:35.899,0:46:37.510
Yeah, I'm not kidding.
0:46:37.560,0:46:39.260
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
0:46:39.260,0:46:40.829
Look at this. Here's the ticket!
0:46:40.829,0:46:43.502
I got a shot of 6.2 million dollars!
0:46:54.531,0:46:56.271
Pa! Ma! You know what happened?
0:46:58.575,0:47:00.255
I'm a finalist in the lottery!
0:47:00.255,0:47:01.615
- Are you serious?[br]- Yes!
0:47:05.590,0:47:06.521
Frankie.
0:47:09.560,0:47:11.370
They laughed at Christopher Columbus,
0:47:11.410,0:47:15.530
they laughed at the Wright Brothers[br]they laughed at Einstein, Mama,
0:47:15.662,0:47:18.680
but nobody's gonna laugh at me [br]after Christmas Eve,
0:47:18.730,0:47:21.680
because I'm a finalist [br]in a New York State Lottery
0:47:21.690,0:47:24.250
and I'm gonna win 6.2 million dollars,
0:47:24.300,0:47:26.888
and I'm gonna spend it.
0:47:27.720,0:47:31.205
I'm gonna buy you a beautiful home[br]with a big lawn for me.
0:47:31.275,0:47:35.499
And Frankie, don't worry about a career.[br]Not that you're ever gonna get one anyway.
0:47:35.499,0:47:36.410
Read it.
0:47:37.410,0:47:38.800
Who's on the phone?
0:47:39.800,0:47:44.127
Madeline, I'm gonna buy you [br]a washer, a dryer,
0:47:44.127,0:47:46.248
every appliance you ever hoped for.
0:47:46.248,0:47:47.131
Daddy.
0:47:48.420,0:47:49.799
She must have fainted.
0:47:50.359,0:47:53.049
Celebration! Wine!
0:47:53.099,0:47:55.310
And what about you, detective Pesce?
0:47:55.360,0:47:57.579
What can I buy for you?
0:47:58.259,0:48:00.549
Now, son, I'm busy spending [br]my money over here.
0:48:00.599,0:48:02.540
Just listen to Frankie.
0:48:02.940,0:48:05.220
Yes, my baby boy, who bears my name.
0:48:05.320,0:48:07.390
- That's exactly the point.[br]- Yes. So?
0:48:08.280,0:48:09.919
We both got the same name.
0:48:14.860,0:48:16.780
What are you trying to tell me, Frankie?
0:48:17.220,0:48:20.559
- Pop, it's my ticket.[br]- Come on. What do you mean, your ticket?
0:48:20.671,0:48:21.580
Oh, I know, I know.
0:48:21.580,0:48:24.010
You don't think [br]I'm gonna share with you, right?
0:48:24.010,0:48:25.530
Is that it, you greedy bastard?
0:48:25.530,0:48:28.969
It's my ticket![br]I'll buy you whatever the hell you want.
0:48:28.979,0:48:31.444
You're right, kid. [br]You are absolutely right.
0:48:31.444,0:48:32.700
For a minute there
0:48:32.700,0:48:34.620
you had me going.
0:48:34.670,0:48:35.448
Salud!
0:48:48.000,0:48:49.350
What's going on?
0:48:51.000,0:48:52.210
Honey,
0:48:52.260,0:48:54.150
it's Frankie's ticket.
0:48:54.720,0:48:55.780
Yeah, Pop.
0:48:57.390,0:48:59.180
I went over to Earf's to cash a check
0:48:59.180,0:49:00.615
because the banks were closed
0:49:00.615,0:49:02.090
and he made me buy something.
0:49:02.200,0:49:04.749
So I bought binoculars and a ticket.
0:49:04.909,0:49:07.072
You're telling me you bought one ticket.
0:49:09.300,0:49:11.212
I got 8 million tickets
0:49:11.819,0:49:13.935
sitting in a shoe box upstairs
0:49:13.935,0:49:16.040
and you bought one ticket.
0:49:16.740,0:49:20.615
Well, Pop. You know I'm lucky.
0:49:38.277,0:49:39.960
Can I see the ticket, Frankie?
0:50:01.770,0:50:04.259
You're gonna win [br]this miserable fucking thing.
0:50:04.436,0:50:06.730
You know that, don't you?
0:50:06.780,0:50:09.631
Yeah, Pop, you know what's mine is yours.
0:50:10.419,0:50:12.962
Yeah, likewise, Frank. I got nothing.
0:50:24.980,0:50:27.985
Suddenly everyone was my best friend.
0:50:45.862,0:50:47.222
He's a lucky bastard.
0:50:47.491,0:50:50.111
Frankie Pesce [br]is a finalist in the lottery.
0:50:50.250,0:50:52.200
It was really ridiculous.
0:50:52.358,0:50:53.563
I was one of 50 finalists
0:50:53.563,0:50:56.230
and everybody was acting [br]like I'd already won the thing.
0:50:56.280,0:50:58.944
Would you bet on a horse[br]that was going off 50-1?
0:50:59.094,0:50:59.899
I wouldn't.
0:51:00.599,0:51:01.849
Friends were betting on me
0:51:02.779,0:51:05.301
as if they were convinced [br]that I could do anything.
0:51:05.520,0:51:07.469
So he took us down to Mulberry Street
0:51:07.479,0:51:10.770
to this real big gambling joint[br]to see if I could throw some dice.
0:52:23.740,0:52:27.010
Hey, hey! Ain't that Loui Tucci?
0:52:27.730,0:52:30.755
Go for him, Frankie. [br]Start his own graveyard in Jersey.
0:52:31.410,0:52:34.190
They'll cut your throat [br]and go off for calzone afterwards.
0:52:34.220,0:52:35.830
He don't give a shit, man.
0:52:37.920,0:52:39.043
I got friends too.
0:52:40.370,0:52:42.760
Throw the fucking dice, will you?
0:52:44.119,0:52:46.619
Come on, will you, jerko? Let's go.
0:53:06.119,0:53:09.024
Then it happened. I made history.
0:53:09.024,0:53:11.650
I was about to do something [br]nobody had ever seen. Ever.
0:53:12.510,0:53:13.580
Anywhere.
0:53:28.479,0:53:30.050
Get that fucking kid out of here.
0:53:30.050,0:53:32.684
Give me an axe [br]and I'll chop your fucking hands off.
0:53:34.180,0:53:35.600
He was really upset.
0:53:35.600,0:53:36.741
What are you looking at?
0:53:36.805,0:53:38.910
Do you think this is a fucking joke?
0:53:40.350,0:53:42.309
I'm just playing some dice here.
0:53:42.359,0:53:43.885
Come here, you.
0:53:51.359,0:53:53.888
Say good morning to Vinnie, Dad.
0:53:55.200,0:53:57.065
I think it's a big joke, don't you?
0:53:57.065,0:53:57.796
Why?
0:53:58.980,0:54:01.955
Hanging out with the mob guys, [br]shooting dice...
0:54:01.955,0:54:03.680
What the hell are you talking about?
0:54:03.680,0:54:05.440
You're a legend on Mulberry Street.
0:54:05.440,0:54:07.905
Frankie Pesce's kid, [br]the man with the golden arm.
0:54:08.535,0:54:10.990
The golden arm and head up his ass.
0:54:11.040,0:54:12.730
Keep it up and watch what happens.
0:54:12.780,0:54:14.830
Just relax, all right?
0:54:14.880,0:54:17.430
I'm having fun, just recreational.
0:54:17.480,0:54:19.330
Recreational, okay.
0:54:19.800,0:54:21.955
Don't get yourself killed[br]before the drawing.
0:54:21.955,0:54:24.182
Then you can do[br]whatever the hell you want.
0:54:24.182,0:54:26.410
Oh, great. Thank you.
0:54:26.460,0:54:28.415
What the hell is that smelling?
0:54:28.415,0:54:30.380
It smells like gym sneakers or something.
0:54:35.940,0:54:36.989
It's our pizza.
0:54:38.819,0:54:41.379
That don't look like [br]no pizza I ever seen, Pop.
0:54:41.489,0:54:43.214
Just shut up and have a slice.
0:54:45.480,0:54:46.464
Did you make that?
0:54:46.595,0:54:48.452
Did I make it?[br]You see your mother here?
0:54:48.452,0:54:49.740
Yeah, I made it. Right?
0:54:49.920,0:54:51.595
And it cost me a dollar to make.
0:54:51.600,0:54:53.782
One dollar. You know the shit you buy?
0:54:54.122,0:54:56.190
Seven bucks. Have a piece.
0:54:56.700,0:54:58.514
Come on. Have a piece.
0:55:06.720,0:55:08.105
The dough's a little hard.
0:55:08.165,0:55:08.927
Oh!
0:55:09.047,0:55:10.588
What's wrong? What's the matter?
0:55:10.738,0:55:12.694
Pop, you get better pizza in Korea.
0:55:13.294,0:55:14.960
Who the hell made that? Michelin?
0:55:15.000,0:55:16.979
Put it in the trunk [br]and use it as a spin.
0:55:16.999,0:55:18.459
I'm going back to bed.
0:55:22.110,0:55:25.849
The only member of our family to [br]appreciate my father's pizza was Vinnie.
0:55:26.819,0:55:31.668
My father's not the kind of guy just to[br]sit around the house like a normal person.
0:55:31.788,0:55:33.896
The boredom was driving him crazy,
0:55:34.176,0:55:37.795
and remember the idle mind [br]is the devil's playground.
0:55:38.125,0:55:42.081
And in my father's case [br]it was about to become an amusement park.
0:55:47.900,0:55:48.680
Hey!
0:55:49.380,0:55:51.690
Where the hell are you three going?
0:55:52.200,0:55:53.259
We're going bowling.
0:55:54.119,0:55:56.029
That's right, bowling.
0:55:57.900,0:55:59.010
Bowling, huh?
0:56:00.420,0:56:03.074
You haven't been bowling[br]since Christ left Chicago.
0:56:03.494,0:56:06.340
Maybe we'll go bowling [br]and maybe we won't go bowling.
0:56:06.390,0:56:07.829
Maybe we'll do something else,
0:56:07.829,0:56:09.009
but I figured
0:56:09.059,0:56:12.320
it would be nice for a father[br]to spend the evening with his sons.
0:56:12.720,0:56:14.229
You got a problem with that?
0:56:15.059,0:56:16.776
You are so full of shit!
0:56:21.240,0:56:22.320
I don't know.
0:56:25.920,0:56:27.264
With dad being out of work,
0:56:27.264,0:56:29.620
our money situation [br]was getting worse and worse.
0:56:29.760,0:56:33.290
The three of us decided to get rid [br]of the T-bird for the insurance money.
0:56:36.780,0:56:37.980
Frankie, Frankie.
0:56:39.000,0:56:40.155
- Wait a minute.[br]- What?
0:56:40.660,0:56:42.580
- Stand over there.[br]- What are you talking about?
0:56:42.684,0:56:44.500
Stand over there, turn around.
0:56:48.359,0:56:49.450
Turn around.
0:57:09.780,0:57:10.910
Let's go home.
0:57:16.990,0:57:19.509
They found the car completely untouched,
0:57:19.559,0:57:21.580
except for the damage my father had done,
0:57:21.580,0:57:23.769
just where we left it in the Bronx.
0:57:23.819,0:57:26.194
There were times [br]when you don't want to be lucky,
0:57:26.194,0:57:29.296
but that lucky star [br]keeps on shining no matter what.
0:57:30.817,0:57:32.267
Bowling, huh?
0:57:38.289,0:57:42.059
To make matters worse [br]we had a 500 deductible on the car
0:57:42.199,0:57:46.040
and a broken windshield costs [br]380 bucks and 40 for the tow,
0:57:46.143,0:57:48.130
so now we had to pay 420 bucks
0:57:48.180,0:57:50.560
just to get the car back [br]in the shape that it was.
0:57:53.090,0:57:56.580
We don't have $420.
0:57:56.667,0:58:00.240
Insurance companies are not[br]in business to be taken by idiots,
0:58:00.240,0:58:01.625
stupid idiots like you guys.
0:58:01.625,0:58:02.830
- Oh, yeah? Idiots?
0:58:02.880,0:58:06.156
Well the car really did get stolen [br]in the bowling alley.
0:58:06.156,0:58:08.262
And I don't want to get into it again.
0:58:08.262,0:58:10.461
Yeah, like I'm five-foot towing blonde.
0:58:12.300,0:58:14.110
You know why the car can't get stolen?
0:58:14.110,0:58:15.445
Because it's under his name.
0:58:15.445,0:58:16.852
And you know his lucky curse.
0:58:16.852,0:58:17.630
They'll find it
0:58:17.630,0:58:18.779
no matter where we hide it.
0:58:18.779,0:58:20.070
This is all your fault.
0:58:20.224,0:58:22.090
You know what? You're full of shit.
0:58:22.100,0:58:24.399
- I'm full of shit? [br]- Yeah, you're full of shit.
0:58:24.399,0:58:25.450
Where you going now?
0:58:25.450,0:58:27.660
I got something I gotta do, all right?
0:58:38.620,0:58:41.598
I paid my cousin Leo a visit [br]in Budd Lake, New Jersey,
0:58:41.598,0:58:42.940
and together we figured out
0:58:42.940,0:58:44.450
a way to dump the car.
0:58:49.820,0:58:51.780
Hey, you know this stuff really works?
0:59:03.160,0:59:04.160
Get in there!
0:59:05.460,0:59:08.365
30 days later we were told to go down[br]to the insurance company
0:59:08.365,0:59:09.490
and pick up the check.
0:59:09.540,0:59:12.165
The month had come and gone [br]and no one had found a car,
0:59:12.165,0:59:13.808
as I was sure would be the case.
0:59:19.613,0:59:22.468
Let's not look like three goons[br]going in there.
0:59:22.729,0:59:25.930
We look like a family [br]gonna pick up a check.
0:59:26.380,0:59:28.330
Like a pack of fucking wild dogs.
0:59:28.380,0:59:29.619
That's what we look like.
0:59:29.889,0:59:31.930
I'm going in by myself.[br]You guys wait down.
0:59:31.980,0:59:34.030
Why? You don't want us to come in?
0:59:35.099,0:59:37.051
Frankie, tell him what I said.
0:59:38.339,0:59:39.959
I'm sorry, Mr Pesce,
0:59:39.959,0:59:43.016
but it seems that [br]nobody's found your son's car.
0:59:45.359,0:59:46.709
Ah, that's too bad!
0:59:48.119,0:59:50.100
You know my son Frankie.
0:59:50.940,0:59:52.650
He's been sick for the whole month.
0:59:53.400,0:59:55.330
You know what he says to me?
0:59:56.400,0:59:57.949
He says, 'Daddy,
0:59:58.559,1:00:01.532
you know losing my car [br]is like losing my brother.'
1:00:02.520,1:00:03.930
I mean the kid's heartbroken.
1:00:04.980,1:00:07.991
You know I feel terrible about this.
1:00:09.180,1:00:12.610
- Listen. Let me make one more phone...[br]- Oh, no!
1:00:12.660,1:00:14.080
Maybe we'll get lucky.
1:00:22.710,1:00:24.750
Hi, this is Lucy Sills.
1:00:25.680,1:00:27.729
I was wondering [br]if there was anything new
1:00:27.729,1:00:31.394
with case uh... ten two one six nine.
1:00:32.579,1:00:33.410
Thanks.
1:00:33.905,1:00:35.055
They're checking.
1:00:35.400,1:00:36.270
Yeah.
1:00:38.579,1:00:39.516
What?
1:00:41.220,1:00:44.595
- Ivory Gold Mist?[br]- Ah, no. Aqua Velva.
1:00:44.970,1:00:48.370
Oh, no. The car is the Ivory Gold missed,
1:00:48.420,1:00:52.051
a Ford Thunderbird license plates My Way.
1:00:53.880,1:00:55.219
Yes, that's it.
1:00:55.619,1:00:56.489
Thank you.
1:00:57.299,1:00:58.260
Thank you.
1:00:58.890,1:01:02.740
It seems that they found your son's car [br]over the weekend in Budd Lake New Jersey.
1:01:03.150,1:01:07.090
Isn't that wonderful?[br]I'm so glad I checked.
1:01:07.140,1:01:10.319
- Budd Lake, New Jersey? [br]- Budd Lake.
1:01:12.939,1:01:15.039
Budd Lake, New Jersey. You fucking crazy.
1:01:15.569,1:01:16.999
They found the car.
1:01:17.099,1:01:19.410
- Where?[br]- In Fucking Lake, New Jersey.
1:01:19.500,1:01:21.769
What a coincidence! We got family there!
1:01:21.829,1:01:23.499
I don't think the insurance company
1:01:23.499,1:01:25.279
is going to put that together to you.
1:01:25.279,1:01:27.790
Did you go with your cousin Leo,[br]that fucking moron?
1:01:27.820,1:01:31.416
Come! Drive the car!
1:01:37.109,1:01:39.329
- Get in the car![br]- I'm getting in the car!
1:01:40.669,1:01:42.995
So we ended up selling the car [br]to my cousin Leo.
1:01:43.404,1:01:45.479
Two days after the sale it got stolen.
1:01:46.189,1:01:47.919
But that money didn't last long.
1:01:48.420,1:01:50.201
Now we were hitting rock bottom.
1:01:51.540,1:01:52.835
Randy, give me the keys.
1:01:54.180,1:01:55.819
Come on, give me the keys.
1:01:55.839,1:01:56.839
You're gonna go out?
1:01:56.869,1:01:58.129
Come on, give me the keys.
1:01:58.160,1:02:01.632
Come on, come on. I need it.
1:02:01.650,1:02:03.195
- Got any money?[br]- What?
1:02:03.195,1:02:04.480
Money, you got some money?
1:02:04.480,1:02:06.040
- I need some money.[br]- Dad, no...
1:02:06.040,1:02:07.829
Frankie, look. I'm way behind here.
1:02:08.579,1:02:09.680
What do you got?
1:02:11.020,1:02:13.294
- I got four hundred dollars.[br]- All right, go get it.
1:02:13.324,1:02:16.383
No! What for?[br]- Okay, I got a feeling tonight.
1:02:16.920,1:02:20.470
I got a feeling that I can't lose [br]on a fight tonight.
1:02:20.470,1:02:23.379
Please, come on, you're my partner.[br]We'll be partners.
1:02:23.419,1:02:24.702
Not again, dad.
1:02:24.839,1:02:27.334
Jesus Christ! [br]The first time I asked you for money!
1:02:27.354,1:02:29.069
All right, I'm gonna get the money.
1:02:31.319,1:02:32.213
Come on.
1:02:33.000,1:02:34.539
Of course I got him the money.
1:02:35.819,1:02:39.610
Frankie. It's in the blue sock,
1:02:39.660,1:02:41.280
on the left side of the drawer.
1:02:43.799,1:02:46.569
And believe it or not [br]my father actually won on the fight,
1:02:46.569,1:02:50.099
so I went down to the club to stop him [br]before he could do any more damage.
1:02:50.149,1:02:53.890
But Philly said that my father [br]doubled his money, took the 800 bucks,
1:02:53.940,1:02:56.380
put it on a horse, got it up to 1100
1:02:56.390,1:02:58.090
and took off like a bat out of hell
1:02:58.140,1:03:00.249
with Johnny Cake and Joe Numbers
1:03:00.299,1:03:02.629
saying something about going[br]to Yonkers Raceway.
1:03:15.240,1:03:16.520
What are you doing?
1:03:17.520,1:03:18.750
I'm waiting for you.
1:03:20.280,1:03:21.419
Is your mother up?
1:03:21.839,1:03:24.570
- Yeah she's so. [br]- Oh, Chris, don't get mad.
1:03:24.640,1:03:25.780
What happened?
1:03:26.520,1:03:27.938
I lost 400.
1:03:29.520,1:03:30.317
Good.
1:03:31.559,1:03:33.190
Good. I was really worried.
1:03:34.200,1:03:35.219
Listen, Pop.
1:03:36.299,1:03:38.614
Why don't you let me hold [br]the rest of the money?
1:03:38.714,1:03:39.940
There's no money, Frank.
1:03:41.400,1:03:42.999
I thought you said you lost 400.
1:03:43.619,1:03:45.765
Right, I lost the 400 bucks.
1:03:47.850,1:03:49.630
You had 1100 when you left the club.
1:03:49.680,1:03:50.747
Yeah I did.
1:03:52.469,1:03:54.059
That means you've got 700 on you.
1:03:54.079,1:03:56.110
I don't have a shit on me now.
1:03:57.359,1:03:59.464
How can you lose 400 out of 1100
1:03:59.494,1:04:01.100
and not have anything on you now?
1:04:01.260,1:04:03.063
I lost the 400 bucks you gave me.
1:04:04.260,1:04:06.444
You lost eleven hundred dollars!
1:04:06.444,1:04:08.952
No, I lost the 400 you gave me.
1:04:09.052,1:04:10.530
Then where is the other 700?
1:04:10.530,1:04:11.328
It's gone.
1:04:12.059,1:04:13.176
You lost it all.
1:04:13.599,1:04:14.302
No.
1:04:15.080,1:04:15.972
Yeah.
1:04:16.920,1:04:20.650
- Technically.[br]- Technically. What technically?
1:04:20.700,1:04:23.350
You had 1100 and now[br]you don't have a shit.
1:04:23.400,1:04:25.930
That means that you lost eleven hundred.
1:04:25.930,1:04:27.417
I don't count the other seven.
1:04:27.417,1:04:29.038
- You don't count...[br]- No I don't.
1:04:29.038,1:04:30.423
That money ain't real.
1:04:30.423,1:04:33.589
It's no good, it doesn't pay the mortgage[br]the gas, the electric.
1:04:33.650,1:04:36.490
Look, I don't count it [br]because it's their money.
1:04:36.540,1:04:38.769
You see, I gambled with their money.
1:04:38.819,1:04:42.610
I lost your 400,[br]but their money is their money.
1:04:42.660,1:04:46.509
You had their money [br]in your pocket, didn't you?
1:04:46.559,1:04:50.099
Frankie, it's my fucking life!
1:04:52.079,1:04:53.759
What the hell do you want from me?
1:04:54.499,1:04:56.259
What the hell are you worried about?
1:04:56.259,1:04:57.860
You're going to win the lottery.
1:04:57.860,1:05:00.190
and then you can hang out on a street
1:05:00.240,1:05:03.269
and be a jerko [br]for the rest of your life.
1:05:04.519,1:05:07.579
How the hell do you know [br]if I'm going to win that lottery?
1:05:08.819,1:05:09.735
And even if I do,
1:05:09.735,1:05:13.430
it's not included in my plans that [br]I'm gonna hang out in some street corner.
1:05:14.400,1:05:16.249
I'm gonna do something with my life.
1:05:16.329,1:05:18.196
- Yeah, like what?[br]- I don't know.
1:05:18.960,1:05:20.640
But I'm going to get a real life.
1:05:21.480,1:05:25.026
And what am I?[br]A fucking cartoon character?
1:05:27.839,1:05:28.856
Oh, shit.
1:05:46.296,1:05:47.296
Frank.
1:05:54.196,1:05:56.416
I'm sorry.
1:05:57.657,1:06:01.282
You listen to me, Frank Pesce.[br]Listen to me good, huh?
1:06:02.835,1:06:04.915
I don't wanna hear that shit.
1:06:05.222,1:06:07.822
Just don't you die on me, you bastard.[br]That's all.
1:06:08.329,1:06:09.560
Not now.
1:06:10.970,1:06:11.970
Relax.
1:06:13.380,1:06:15.280
You're not going nowhere.
1:06:17.300,1:06:18.810
When you get well,
1:06:20.430,1:06:21.840
you're gonna come home.
1:06:22.740,1:06:24.789
I want the house to stink of them,
1:06:24.889,1:06:27.170
them rotten pizzas you've been making.
1:06:28.740,1:06:31.269
I want you to see your son Frankie just
1:06:31.319,1:06:34.029
make something out of his life, Frank.
1:06:34.079,1:06:37.079
You think I'm gonna live...
1:06:37.269,1:06:39.079
I'm not kidding, Frank.
1:06:41.949,1:06:44.912
You and I have made a deal,[br]a promise to each other.
1:06:46.080,1:06:48.195
To live together happily ever after.
1:06:53.099,1:06:54.549
Come here.
1:06:54.599,1:06:55.620
Come here.
1:07:00.660,1:07:01.899
Let's go.
1:07:07.680,1:07:09.230
What did he say, Mum?
1:07:10.740,1:07:12.629
Keep the cat off the lawn.
1:07:18.059,1:07:18.969
Hey, Pop.
1:07:27.359,1:07:28.189
All right?
1:07:42.530,1:07:44.780
He said we ruined his lawn[br]while he was gone.
1:07:44.810,1:07:46.569
That's when I knew he was all right,
1:07:46.579,1:07:48.470
he was back to terrorizing everybody.
1:07:50.220,1:07:52.744
I went for the first available job [br]I could find,
1:07:53.294,1:07:55.629
and I got one over at Sheldon Toys,
1:07:55.639,1:07:56.884
as a sales representative.
1:07:56.894,1:07:57.599
Listen up,
1:07:57.599,1:07:58.920
from Sheldon toy company
1:07:58.920,1:08:02.187
I got the greatest [br]little electric cars you've ever seen.
1:08:02.537,1:08:05.580
These electric cars, they're incredible,[br]the kids are going nuts.
1:08:05.580,1:08:07.040
You should order maybe 20, 30,
1:08:07.040,1:08:09.659
because on the first day, [br]bang... they're out the door.
1:08:09.659,1:08:11.039
I'm serious, I'm not kidding.
1:08:11.039,1:08:12.619
How many would you like?
1:08:23.779,1:08:25.307
It was the best job I'd had yet.
1:08:26.400,1:08:28.895
They even let me order a company car.
1:08:33.719,1:08:35.859
- What's this?[br]- It's my new car.
1:08:35.859,1:08:37.904
Yeah, I know. [br]White with a white vinyl top.
1:08:37.904,1:08:39.207
It's a company car.
1:08:39.207,1:08:40.560
You order a car for yourself
1:08:40.560,1:08:41.704
you get the right color.
1:08:41.704,1:08:43.700
Me and you go partners,[br]you get Ivory Gold, you get a fucking Mist.
1:08:43.720,1:08:45.845
Take it to Budd Lake [br]and show it to your cousin Leo.
1:08:45.845,1:08:48.277
That's the kind you should've chosen[br]the first time.
1:08:48.277,1:08:51.429
This time it won't be on my fucking name[br]the insurance, I'm warning you.
1:08:51.455,1:08:52.270
Hey, Vitto.
1:08:53.040,1:08:54.169
Looks good, though.
1:08:54.960,1:08:56.705
Come here and say that, you fuck.
1:08:56.745,1:08:58.490
I'll give you a looks good.
1:08:58.540,1:08:59.279
Come here.
1:09:02.820,1:09:04.870
Then, about a week ago Jimmy Fratello said
1:09:04.870,1:09:07.464
there was a guy who was [br]real interested in meeting me.
1:09:07.504,1:09:09.096
All Jimmy would tell me was that
1:09:09.111,1:09:11.414
it had something to do[br]with my lottery ticket.
1:09:21.239,1:09:22.438
Hey, Pesce.
1:09:28.199,1:09:29.170
Get in the car.
1:09:29.940,1:09:31.280
I'm coming.
1:09:38.239,1:09:41.062
- You?[br]- Yeah. Why? What's wrong with me?
1:09:41.759,1:09:44.350
The last time you saw me
1:09:44.400,1:09:46.190
it looked like you wanted to kill me.
1:09:46.230,1:09:48.290
Nah. That was just that night.
1:09:48.340,1:09:51.178
A lot of guys get killed [br]because people are in bad moods.
1:09:52.199,1:09:55.059
You're a legend down at Molbery Street,[br]you know that?
1:09:55.199,1:09:57.370
What you did that night with them dice,
1:09:57.420,1:09:59.777
and everything else lucky[br]that's happening to you.
1:10:01.440,1:10:02.903
Got the lottery ticket on you?
1:10:03.600,1:10:05.075
Yeah. Why?
1:10:05.075,1:10:07.053
I might be interested in buying it.
1:10:07.500,1:10:09.830
It ain't for sale, you know?
1:10:10.620,1:10:11.794
For ten thousand?
1:10:12.360,1:10:13.755
You want to give me 10 grand?
1:10:13.755,1:10:15.850
Ain't that what I just said?
1:10:15.900,1:10:19.330
The word is you got a shot [br]at this thing with your luck and all.
1:10:19.380,1:10:21.136
Maybe you do or maybe you don't.
1:10:21.256,1:10:24.032
But if you want to sell it, [br]and do the right thing, kid,
1:10:24.032,1:10:25.689
then keep it in the family.
1:10:25.739,1:10:27.850
Remember I'm with you[br]and you're with me,
1:10:27.900,1:10:30.970
and everybody's with us, capisci?
1:10:31.020,1:10:31.838
Hey!
1:10:32.340,1:10:35.140
Two minutes I know you guys [br]and already I'm in the family.
1:10:36.780,1:10:38.310
You just think about it.
1:10:38.515,1:10:40.430
These things have a way of working out.
1:10:40.860,1:10:42.224
And I'm easy to find.
1:10:44.040,1:10:45.243
I'm hungry? You hungry?
1:10:46.020,1:10:47.865
Yeah, I'm hungry. You're hungry?
1:10:47.865,1:10:50.710
- Absolutely. I'm hungry.[br]- Yeah, me too. I'm really hungry.
1:10:50.760,1:10:52.400
Get the fuck out of here.
1:11:05.719,1:11:06.620
Frankie.
1:11:07.320,1:11:10.330
Frankie. Frankie, come on,[br]wake up. Frankie!
1:11:10.380,1:11:12.335
Come on, wake up.
1:11:13.215,1:11:15.365
I really think I nailed it this time.
1:11:16.380,1:11:20.201
Get out of here, Dad.[br]Not this morning.
1:11:22.620,1:11:24.650
Isn't it better what you're doing here?
1:11:25.080,1:11:28.330
Staying at home, away from these mob guys
1:11:28.380,1:11:29.565
and all those hangouts?
1:11:29.605,1:11:30.730
Watch now.
1:11:30.730,1:11:32.300
You're gonna amount to something.
1:11:32.300,1:11:33.660
Keep your nose to the grind,
1:11:33.660,1:11:36.140
so you're going to do better[br]than that cop upstairs.
1:11:37.540,1:11:39.750
I never heard you talk [br]like this before, Pop.
1:11:39.910,1:11:42.640
Sometimes it takes something [br]like this to open your eyes.
1:11:43.140,1:11:45.390
Frankie, tell me. [br]I want to ask you a question.
1:11:45.420,1:11:46.620
When you win the lottery,
1:11:46.620,1:11:48.305
you're not going to use that
1:11:48.305,1:11:50.310
as an excuse to sit on your ass, are you?
1:11:51.780,1:11:53.350
I'll tell you what I want to do.
1:11:53.400,1:11:54.138
What?
1:11:54.600,1:11:55.830
Don't laugh, all right?
1:11:57.179,1:11:58.470
I'm not going up there.
1:12:02.520,1:12:04.390
I think I'm going to go to college.
1:12:04.440,1:12:06.947
How about that?[br]A college graduate in the family.
1:12:07.020,1:12:08.632
If you could be a doctor...
1:12:09.239,1:12:11.140
Why don't you put the cigarette out, huh?
1:12:14.340,1:12:15.484
She worries about me.
1:12:15.514,1:12:18.200
No, not doc. What about a lawyer? [br]You'll be a lawyer.
1:12:18.200,1:12:20.119
Your brother can throw everybody in jail
1:12:20.119,1:12:22.050
and you can get them back in the street.
1:12:22.050,1:12:23.287
Everybody busy.
1:12:24.100,1:12:25.387
It's very funny!
1:12:27.179,1:12:28.844
First he'd have to arrest someone.
1:12:28.894,1:12:30.713
If he can find his gun.
1:13:06.960,1:13:08.089
That's culture.
1:13:09.659,1:13:10.860
I forgot to tell you.
1:13:12.000,1:13:13.434
Jimmy Vitello called.
1:13:13.752,1:13:15.182
What'd he want?
1:13:15.350,1:13:18.006
Get down and see it.[br]Don't make him feel bad, all right?
1:13:23.980,1:13:25.320
I'll see you.
1:13:56.159,1:13:59.930
- Get out of here! [br]- How well you can still sing. Real good.
1:14:01.020,1:14:02.379
Can I say something?
1:14:04.320,1:14:05.915
You know I got a bad heart.
1:14:06.745,1:14:08.808
I know you got a bad heart.
1:14:09.239,1:14:12.752
You don't want to break it, do you?
1:14:13.800,1:14:14.947
Oh, Frank.
1:14:15.900,1:14:18.480
- I would never... [br]- Oh wait, wait a minute now...
1:14:20.250,1:14:21.170
Excuse me.
1:14:21.900,1:14:25.510
You're crazy, you know that you're crazy.
1:14:25.560,1:14:27.189
Can I have this dance?
1:14:27.239,1:14:28.580
It would be my pleasure.
1:15:05.130,1:15:07.850
I went to the club to kill [br]some time before the drawing.
1:15:08.040,1:15:10.560
It was here that [br]everything started to fall apart.
1:15:34.080,1:15:35.137
A couple of more hours
1:15:35.137,1:15:37.440
and you're going to find out [br]if you're a millionaire.
1:15:37.490,1:15:39.748
I wish you nothing but the best of luck,
1:15:39.748,1:15:41.828
you lucky son of a bitch.
1:15:41.964,1:15:42.964
Thanks.
1:15:45.917,1:15:48.677
Hey, Richie.[br]Where is my plate?
1:15:48.840,1:15:50.290
It's not hot yet.
1:15:50.340,1:15:52.340
You let me know before I die, huh?
1:15:59.480,1:16:01.530
Where is Frank Pesce?
1:16:05.400,1:16:06.325
Right here.
1:16:07.440,1:16:10.139
Not you, scumbag. Your father.
1:16:10.920,1:16:11.922
Hey hey!
1:16:12.840,1:16:13.735
Not in the club.
1:16:13.835,1:16:15.850
Your old man owes my uncle a lot of money.
1:16:15.850,1:16:17.070
Yeah, I'm talking to you.
1:16:17.070,1:16:18.000
What are you, deaf?
1:16:18.000,1:16:19.615
What money are you talking about?
1:16:19.695,1:16:20.690
What money?
1:16:24.450,1:16:26.230
Who do you take us for, jerkos?
1:16:26.230,1:16:27.810
Your father's been ducking us
1:16:27.810,1:16:28.974
for three fucking weeks.
1:16:29.014,1:16:30.281
Not here, not in the club.
1:16:30.281,1:16:32.409
You're fucking with him, [br]you're fucking with me.
1:16:32.409,1:16:34.300
You don't have anything [br]to do with this, Jimmy.
1:16:34.320,1:16:36.370
Bullshit! You know why [br]we're here, Philly.
1:16:36.410,1:16:38.730
What do you guys want to do? [br]Start a war over this?
1:16:39.890,1:16:43.270
You come in my club at Christmas Eve[br]and you start this shit?
1:16:43.320,1:16:44.554
Get out of here!
1:16:44.699,1:16:46.394
We'll come to your house tonight.
1:16:46.424,1:16:47.797
We're gonna give your father
1:16:47.797,1:16:49.650
a Christmas present he'll never forget.
1:16:49.860,1:16:52.139
Fuck out of my club now.
1:16:55.120,1:16:57.010
Before I cut your freaking nuts off
1:16:57.060,1:16:58.639
and have them with my calamar.
1:16:59.219,1:17:01.835
What are you looking at, [br]you potato nose? Sucker!
1:17:02.580,1:17:04.365
Call me a fat bug, huh?
1:17:04.365,1:17:06.120
Guys, go sit down, have fun.
1:17:06.659,1:17:08.864
It's Christmas Eve. Sing a song.
1:17:10.020,1:17:11.619
Do you know anything about this?
1:17:12.719,1:17:15.550
Your old man's into Tucci for 10 grand.
1:17:15.600,1:17:16.545
10 grand!
1:17:16.645,1:17:18.601
And he's three weeks behind all right.
1:17:20.040,1:17:21.970
What does he have in his fucking mind?
1:17:22.560,1:17:24.190
How can he be three weeks behind?
1:17:24.500,1:17:27.315
Hey, I don't sleep with your father.[br]How the hell do I know?
1:17:27.315,1:17:30.250
He's got a mortgage, he's got bills,[br]he's losing his ass here.
1:17:30.790,1:17:32.380
I don't know, talk to your old man.
1:17:33.420,1:17:34.725
Phil, you got to help me.
1:17:34.735,1:17:36.852
I ain't getting [br]freaking involved in this.
1:17:37.272,1:17:38.751
I'll kill that son of a bitch.
1:17:38.751,1:17:39.550
Jimmy come on.
1:17:39.580,1:17:41.010
You gotta help me, all right?
1:17:41.040,1:17:41.940
I can't, Frank.
1:17:42.030,1:17:42.920
Why not?
1:17:43.010,1:17:44.230
I can't, man!
1:17:49.560,1:17:50.770
Forget it. All right.
1:17:50.820,1:17:52.549
Frankie, Frankie, Frankie...
1:17:59.349,1:18:00.130
Fuck!
1:18:25.194,1:18:28.204
Oh, thank God, Frankie.[br]What happened to you?
1:18:28.819,1:18:31.354
We have an hour and a half [br]to get to the Garden.
1:18:31.800,1:18:34.568
I was scared stiff,[br]I thought you was hurt or something.
1:18:34.959,1:18:36.330
I'm at least fine, Ma.
1:18:37.140,1:18:37.980
Where's Dad?
1:18:38.520,1:18:40.060
He's upstairs getting dressed.
1:18:40.920,1:18:42.098
Something wrong?
1:18:43.260,1:18:44.020
No.
1:18:44.400,1:18:46.090
Look. I've been thinking...
1:18:48.010,1:18:49.960
I think I should go [br]to the drawing alone.
1:18:49.980,1:18:52.750
- What?[br]- Are you crazy? Dad'll go nuts.
1:18:53.460,1:18:56.270
Frankie, we've been [br]looking forward to tonight.
1:18:56.270,1:18:57.420
I know, Mom.
1:18:57.420,1:18:59.469
I bought a new dress, for Christ's sake.
1:18:59.940,1:19:02.448
Frankie, what is wrong?
1:19:02.528,1:19:04.370
No, Mom.[br]I told you everything's okay.
1:19:04.980,1:19:06.930
All right?[br]I just been thinking about it,
1:19:06.930,1:19:09.090
and I think I should go [br]to the drawing alone.
1:19:09.110,1:19:10.135
That's it, all right?
1:19:10.150,1:19:11.948
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
1:19:11.998,1:19:14.520
Are you gonna screw it up?
1:19:14.560,1:19:16.899
- Shut the fuck up.[br]- Don't tell me to shut up!
1:19:18.299,1:19:20.708
You guys gonna stop?[br]What's going on?
1:19:21.300,1:19:23.130
Frankie don't want us to go with him.
1:19:24.659,1:19:25.982
You don't want us to go?
1:19:26.280,1:19:27.545
Just a thought I had, Pop.
1:19:27.565,1:19:28.710
Well it's a bad thought.
1:19:28.710,1:19:30.109
Get it out of your head and let's go.
1:19:30.109,1:19:30.979
It's getting late.
1:19:30.979,1:19:31.950
No, Pop. Forget about it.
1:19:31.950,1:19:32.815
I'm going by myself
1:19:32.815,1:19:33.660
Come on, Frankie.
1:19:34.380,1:19:38.169
What is it? We're putting [br]too much pressure on you, am I right?
1:19:38.219,1:19:41.004
You're afraid if you don't win[br]we're going to be disappointed...
1:19:41.004,1:19:42.006
Forget that shit.
1:19:42.006,1:19:43.749
Let's just go and enjoy ourselves.
1:19:43.749,1:19:45.117
Whatever happens happens.
1:19:45.640,1:19:47.270
Pop, this is what's gonna happen.
1:19:47.580,1:19:49.860
I'm going up to my room,[br]I'm getting my ticket,
1:19:49.940,1:19:51.666
and I'm going by myself.
1:19:51.810,1:19:53.207
Please get out of my way.
1:19:54.469,1:19:55.794
What the hell is wrong with you?
1:19:55.794,1:19:57.999
What are you doing?[br]You know what this means to us.
1:19:58.079,1:20:00.070
It is most important moment of our lives,
1:20:00.070,1:20:00.935
for Christ's sake.
1:20:00.935,1:20:02.602
No, Pop. It's not your moment.
1:20:03.060,1:20:04.114
It's my moment.
1:20:04.424,1:20:06.018
You leave this house without us,
1:20:06.357,1:20:08.068
win or lose, don't come back.
1:20:09.120,1:20:12.000
If you set an example,[br]I stand a good chance to lose them.
1:20:12.540,1:20:14.010
What the fuck did you say?
1:20:15.935,1:20:17.835
Are you calling me a loser?
1:20:19.320,1:20:21.490
- I'm not a loser. [br]- Have it your way, Dad...
1:20:21.540,1:20:23.530
I'm not a loser!
1:20:23.580,1:20:24.905
All right, you're a winner.
1:20:24.923,1:20:26.428
Is that what you want to hear?
1:20:26.428,1:20:27.379
You're a winner?
1:20:27.379,1:20:29.714
What the hell did you do [br]that was so great, huh?
1:20:29.764,1:20:31.930
Except gamble away [br]everything you ever owned,
1:20:31.980,1:20:33.699
including your own fucking business.
1:20:33.779,1:20:34.802
I stayed.
1:20:36.179,1:20:37.331
That's what I did.
1:20:38.400,1:20:39.905
I stayed for 35 years.
1:20:40.035,1:20:43.147
I stayed and raised [br]the family for 35 years.
1:20:43.347,1:20:47.572
I did anything I had to do [br]to keep a roof over our heads.
1:20:47.632,1:20:49.528
That's what the fuck I did.
1:20:50.940,1:20:52.140
You stayed, huh?
1:20:52.960,1:20:54.170
Big fucking deal!
1:20:54.530,1:20:56.895
You stayed, [br]that's what you're supposed to do.
1:20:57.125,1:21:00.669
It'd be better if you left them [br]and put up with your shit the whole life.
1:21:00.719,1:21:02.620
You squashed every dream[br]that I ever had!
1:21:02.640,1:21:05.555
It's not bad if you pissed your own dreams[br]against the fucking wall.
1:21:05.555,1:21:06.802
You took me down with you.
1:21:06.822,1:21:09.181
You don't know a shit about my dreams.
1:21:09.371,1:21:12.098
Not a fucking thing about my dreams.
1:21:12.360,1:21:14.397
If you think I gambled my business away,
1:21:14.447,1:21:16.938
you don't know what the fuck[br]you're talking about.
1:21:17.268,1:21:21.289
I loved my business,[br]it was the only thing that I owned.
1:21:22.140,1:21:23.585
I didn't gamble it away.
1:21:23.715,1:21:25.607
They took it away.
1:21:27.179,1:21:29.220
That's your fucking big explanation?
1:21:31.060,1:21:32.780
It's the same old shit, Dad.
1:21:33.900,1:21:35.145
You know something, son?
1:21:36.900,1:21:39.696
We were doing pretty damn good [br]until you came along.
1:21:40.860,1:21:42.278
You know? I didn't want you.
1:21:43.260,1:21:44.363
Your mother did.
1:21:45.420,1:21:50.478
And she nearly died having you,[br]you sorry son of a bitch.
1:21:51.179,1:21:54.759
And I borrowed the money[br]to keep you and your mother alive.
1:21:57.300,1:22:01.570
On my fucking knees,[br]and I begged Louie Tucci
1:22:01.660,1:22:04.725
to give me the money [br]to pay off the hospital bills.
1:22:05.315,1:22:11.774
And when I couldn't pay it back[br]he took control of my company and my life.
1:22:13.340,1:22:16.968
You get this straight,[br]you ungrateful son of a bitch.
1:22:17.760,1:22:20.760
I am not a loser!
1:22:21.950,1:22:24.050
Get your fucking hands off me.
1:22:24.420,1:22:25.835
I'm not a loser.
1:22:28.800,1:22:30.550
I'm not a loser.
1:22:31.380,1:22:32.302
Frankie.
1:22:34.980,1:22:38.539
I am not a fucking loser!
1:22:43.220,1:22:44.110
Jerk!
1:23:25.425,1:23:26.595
What do you want?
1:23:26.622,1:23:28.352
I'm looking for Loui Tucci.[br]Do you know where he is?
1:23:28.381,1:23:29.381
No, he ain't here.
1:23:29.420,1:23:30.420
Who the hell are you?
1:23:30.580,1:23:32.580
I work for him. [br]Do you want to see my mate?
1:23:32.775,1:23:34.800
I looked all Times Square round.[br]Where the hell is he?
1:23:34.820,1:23:37.289
Who the hell are you? [br]Come over here.
1:23:37.739,1:23:39.669
Look. My name is Frank Pesce, all right?
1:23:39.669,1:23:42.022
Tucci wants to buy [br]a lottery ticket that I have.
1:23:42.022,1:23:43.976
A couple weeks ago[br]he offered me 10 grand.
1:23:43.976,1:23:45.499
I know all about it. Hurry up.
1:23:45.529,1:23:46.780
I'm freezing my balls off.
1:23:46.990,1:23:48.430
I want to exchange the ticket
1:23:48.430,1:23:49.810
for what my father owes him.
1:23:49.810,1:23:53.872
But he's gotta promise me [br]that he won't hurt him.
1:23:57.000,1:24:00.621
All right, you wait here.[br]You wait right here.
1:24:29.880,1:24:31.209
Sounds fair.
1:24:32.100,1:24:33.425
You got the ticket on you?
1:24:35.590,1:24:36.482
Yeah, I got it.
1:24:37.140,1:24:38.251
Let's have it.
1:24:42.960,1:24:44.411
Buon Natale, kid.
1:25:13.269,1:25:14.319
So that's that.
1:25:16.710,1:25:21.270
Tucci is a very happy guy tonight[br]because he owns 6.2 million bucks.
1:25:25.130,1:25:26.540
I saved my father.
1:25:28.620,1:25:29.430
Hey.
1:25:30.540,1:25:33.040
I had to do what I had to do,[br]you know what I mean?
1:25:37.440,1:25:38.975
Then I went down to the Garden,
1:25:39.235,1:25:40.589
checked the results...
1:25:43.080,1:25:44.300
Lucky me, huh?
1:25:47.820,1:25:49.019
The rest you know.
1:25:49.980,1:25:52.089
I went crazy down at the church.
1:25:52.179,1:25:54.620
You guys picked me up[br]and you brought me here.
1:25:57.440,1:25:59.737
Do what you want with me.
1:26:02.039,1:26:05.270
I just want to go home and make sure [br]that my father's all right.
1:26:08.580,1:26:09.881
Go on home, boy.
1:26:12.110,1:26:13.820
Let's forget it ever happened.
1:26:14.820,1:26:16.396
- Tolen. [br]- Yes, sir.
1:26:16.860,1:26:20.280
Give him a hand.[br]Take him home, anything else he needs.
1:26:21.810,1:26:23.270
Thanks, guys.
1:26:26.040,1:26:26.890
Frank.
1:26:28.020,1:26:29.421
You know, mamaluke.
1:26:31.020,1:26:33.531
Thanks, sargeant. [br]God bless you, father.
1:27:10.139,1:27:12.220
Hey, Frank. [br]Do you want us to walk you up?
1:27:12.240,1:27:13.380
No, I'll be all right.
1:27:15.920,1:27:16.760
Hey, Frank.
1:27:17.520,1:27:18.509
Merry Christmas.
1:27:19.620,1:27:20.580
Thank you.
1:28:15.119,1:28:17.466
Hey, Frankie. Congratulations.
1:28:18.162,1:28:19.702
We saw the show on TV!
1:28:20.362,1:28:23.252
Here's my daughter Sheila.[br]She's dying to meet you, Frankie.
1:28:23.721,1:28:25.581
It is so great, Frankie.
1:28:26.710,1:28:28.250
God bless you, Frankie.
1:28:30.139,1:28:32.889
Mom, we got problems.[br]I gotta talk to Dad.
1:28:32.929,1:28:35.406
- Where is he?[br]- He's in the kitchen, making a pizza.
1:28:35.406,1:28:36.844
Come on, we're having a party.
1:28:36.854,1:28:37.700
Everybody's here.
1:29:35.670,1:29:37.010
Congratulations, son.
1:29:39.239,1:29:42.900
All right, excuse me, excuse me.
1:29:45.510,1:29:47.260
What the hell are you doing here?
1:29:48.148,1:29:50.479
I don't know what the fuck [br]you're talking about.
1:29:50.479,1:29:51.910
Excuse me, excuse me.
1:29:51.960,1:29:55.497
- Can I say something here, Louie?[br]- Yeah.
1:29:55.580,1:29:58.329
I want everybody to hear this, Tucci.
1:29:59.760,1:30:02.000
I can't borrow money off you anymore.
1:30:02.340,1:30:03.341
You wanna know why?
1:30:03.425,1:30:05.490
- Yeah. [br]- My son Frankie's a millionaire.
1:30:05.880,1:30:08.260
And he's choosy who I borrow money from.
1:30:10.720,1:30:12.730
Frank, you're not gonna ruin my moment.
1:30:12.780,1:30:14.950
I've been waiting my whole life for this.
1:30:15.780,1:30:17.330
I'd like to say something.
1:30:19.199,1:30:20.646
I said some bad things
1:30:21.940,1:30:23.610
to my son Frankie earlier tonight.
1:30:24.480,1:30:26.115
Things that I'm sorry I said.
1:30:27.300,1:30:29.356
Me and my kid were big dreamers.
1:30:30.780,1:30:32.419
But my problem is that
1:30:33.120,1:30:34.929
most of my dreams didn't work out.
1:30:36.000,1:30:38.479
And I think I stepped [br]on a lot of Frankie's dreams.
1:30:39.239,1:30:40.694
You get a little older
1:30:41.280,1:30:43.570
and you get harder and you get harder.
1:30:44.280,1:30:46.400
Sometimes you forget what's important.
1:30:48.120,1:30:49.093
But today
1:30:51.060,1:30:52.810
one of my dreams came true.
1:30:55.139,1:30:58.414
I found out why my son Frankie was born.
1:30:58.824,1:31:01.020
What is this? A fucking christening?
1:31:01.040,1:31:01.930
Where's my money?
1:31:03.600,1:31:04.488
Tucci.
1:31:08.520,1:31:09.740
You know what's in here?
1:31:13.260,1:31:14.469
Ten thousand dollars.
1:31:15.659,1:31:16.804
That's what I owe you.
1:31:17.054,1:31:18.338
Vitto, give it to Tucci.
1:31:18.508,1:31:19.464
No, give it to him.
1:31:20.260,1:31:21.750
No, you don't owe him anything.
1:31:21.840,1:31:25.042
- Merry Christmas, Pesce.[br]- Likewise, Louie.
1:31:25.340,1:31:26.569
What are you doing?
1:31:31.224,1:31:32.494
Frankie, I owe it to you.
1:31:32.579,1:31:34.199
He can't take that money!
1:31:34.220,1:31:35.695
He can't take that money!
1:31:35.825,1:31:37.321
He loaned me the money.
1:31:37.800,1:31:39.590
I owed it to him and I paid it.
1:31:43.020,1:31:46.600
I heard that you were in trouble,
1:31:48.780,1:31:50.410
so I gave Tucci the ticket.
1:31:56.580,1:31:58.398
You gave Tucci the ticket?
1:32:00.830,1:32:02.113
I gave Tucci the ticket.
1:32:02.380,1:32:03.800
You gave him the ticket.
1:32:05.520,1:32:07.185
You didn't give him the ticket.
1:32:07.275,1:32:08.892
Did you give him the ticket, huh?
1:32:08.892,1:32:10.361
Papa, for Christ's sake.
1:32:10.361,1:32:12.958
Don't do one of these[br]in front of everybody, all right?
1:32:12.958,1:32:15.730
I gave the ticket away,[br]I was at the restaurant.
1:32:15.780,1:32:17.340
I gave it to one of his goons.
1:32:19.500,1:32:21.219
I got a call from Philly Knapp.
1:32:22.539,1:32:24.725
He told me what happened [br]at the club tonight.
1:32:25.099,1:32:26.646
You are my son, I'm your father,
1:32:26.646,1:32:28.780
so I figured out [br]what you were going to do.
1:32:29.040,1:32:30.620
The guy you gave the ticket to,
1:32:31.620,1:32:33.009
big friend of mine.
1:32:33.719,1:32:34.640
Frankie.
1:32:37.080,1:32:38.890
You gave the ticket
1:32:38.940,1:32:40.005
back to yourself!
1:32:40.800,1:32:41.689
What?
1:32:43.294,1:32:44.294
We got it.
1:33:02.120,1:33:03.770
Where did you get the money?
1:33:03.860,1:33:05.320
Where did I get the money?
1:33:05.480,1:33:06.380
The 10 grand?
1:33:06.657,1:33:07.537
Jimmy V.
1:33:08.940,1:33:10.357
Am I good for the 10g?
1:33:11.100,1:33:12.560
You got it, Mr Pesce.
1:33:35.400,1:33:38.375
This one you're gonna love it.
1:33:52.367,1:33:53.367
Buon Natale.
1:33:56.380,1:33:58.850
What the hell did you say [br]to those guys in the car?
1:33:59.310,1:34:00.940
I wished them a merry Christmas.
1:34:33.420,1:34:34.446
Frankie.
1:34:38.040,1:34:38.990
Hey, Pop.
1:34:42.780,1:34:43.770
This is yours.
1:34:48.780,1:34:49.542
Frankie.
1:34:51.840,1:34:54.666
Did you know the first time[br]I saw you made me cry?
1:35:00.179,1:35:01.662
What you did tonight was great.
1:35:03.000,1:35:04.593
I want to thank you for it.
1:35:08.400,1:35:10.589
Just a good thing [br]that you're smarter than me.
1:35:12.019,1:35:14.290
I'm just older.
1:35:17.400,1:35:19.882
You said some beautiful things [br]in there tonight.
1:35:26.100,1:35:30.815
But would you finish the same way[br]you started saying in there?
1:35:32.159,1:35:32.911
What?
1:35:36.650,1:35:38.040
Know why I was born?
1:35:48.780,1:35:49.870
I don't know.
1:35:51.719,1:35:52.705
I don't know.
1:35:54.840,1:35:57.379
Why don't you go out there[br]and find out yourself?
1:36:07.530,1:36:11.060
From time to time I think back [br]on Rocky Savv's theory of life.
1:36:11.220,1:36:15.149
You're born, you grow old and you die.
1:36:16.470,1:36:18.054
Maybe that's all there is to it.
1:36:18.959,1:36:21.871
And we just keep making it [br]more complicated than we need to.
1:36:24.150,1:36:25.334
My father's gone now.
1:36:26.520,1:36:28.035
But I remember how years later,
1:36:28.035,1:36:30.310
when we were up [br]at the new house on Glen Cove,
1:36:30.360,1:36:32.835
overlooking his new lawn[br]of Kentucky Bluegrass
1:36:32.835,1:36:34.860
about half the size of a football field.
1:36:36.060,1:36:37.065
I said to him,
1:36:38.520,1:36:40.889
'I guess there's a happy ending [br]for us after all'.
1:36:42.960,1:36:44.269
'Happy ending', he said.
1:36:45.719,1:36:47.380
I wouldn't have it any other way.
