10th & Wolf Page #2

read the obituary?

How are you holding up?

Okay, I guess.

Poor Joey.

- You guys should go home.

- We're not leaving you, Joey.

- Go home.

- I wanna talk about this.

Can we talk about this, please?

He killed my father, Tommy.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to go to the cops?

Ask him to say he's sorry?

All we know is what Manny told us.

Maybe Manny's wrong.

I'm not saying that he is.

But you do this right now, you'll

kill somebody

you're gonna live with that

for the rest of your life.

What, do you think

Manny got it wrong?

You know something I don't?

Go home.

Benedetto?

Joey, what...?

Joey!

Tommy?

Oh, God.

He's bleeding pretty bad, Joey.

What are we gonna do?

I don't want him to die.

He's not gonna die, Vincent.

Oh, God.

Look Vincent, I need you to do

something for me, alright?

I'm gonna get him to the hospital,

but I need you to do something.

What am I saying to you, Vincent?

Listen to me! What did I say?

- I gotta do something.

- I need you to get rid of the gun.

Break it up into little pieces,

throw it in the river

and dump the car, alright Vincent?

What did I just say?

Break it into pieces

and throw it in the river.

And dump the car, Vincent.

Vincent, I need you to get it together.

I can't, I'm sorry, Joey...

Come on, Tommy.

Joey, don't let him die!

He's not gonna die, Vincent!

Look at me!

Tommy,I'm not... Look at me!

I'm not going anywhere. Alright?

I'm right here.

Don't leave me, Joey.

Stay awake.

No, no!

Don't leave me, Joey!

I'm right here, Tommy!

Don't you let him die!

We have this. Please.

Don't you let him die!

Tommy, I'm right here!

It had been years since

I've been on that corner.

But as the bus pulled away,

I'd felt like i never left.

Horvath and Thornton would have

given me the money

to live anywhere.

But I went home,

to aunt Tina's.

I was worried about Vincent.

Come here.

You know Joey don't live here no more.

He's got a condo over on Market.

- Where are they now?

- Probably at the club.

Vincent's the manager.

Vincent's working for Joey?

What happened to steamfitters?

He quit.

Didn't he tell you?

When did he do that?

About a year ago.

You like my new shoes?

Vincent got them for me.

He's a good boy, that Vincent.

I'm so glad you're home, Tommy.

We need you around here.

...Stinger missiles, C4,

RPG's, everything.

What's an RPG?

Are you a complete f***ing nitwit?

I just told you 3 minutes

ago what an RPG is.

- I forgot.

- Rocket propelled grenade.

RPG - tattoo it on your

f***ing forehead.

- Hi, Joey.

- Hi, Brandy. How you're doing?

- You've got a minute for me?

- Yeah, absolutely. Come in.

I'm telling you, this guy is like a

f***ing weapon supermarket.

Can I stab you?

Cops found Willy's car

down by the river.

Yeah? What did they say?

Nothing.

They asked me if I knew anything

and they gave me back the car.

- Have a drink.

- I'm good.

Have a drink.

I need to know, Joey.

I need to know if Willy's dead.

I'm not gonna do anything.

I'm not gonna go crazy,

I just need to know

so that I can move on.

What makes you think I

know anything, Brandy?

Don't f*** with me, Joey.

You know I've got

the kid to think of.

Joey, for three weeks

it's like I'm living in mud.

I can't do anything,

I can't get out of bed

in the morning.

I know you for a long time,

and you need to

understand something.

Whatever I tell you,

I would only be guessing.

Ok. He's dead?

Why?

Why would somebody do that?

What did he do?

I don't know.

Ok, I want whoever did it

dead or in jail.

I want their kids to be

without their father.

I wanna know who did it.

I can't help you there, Brandy.

Fine, I'll find out

by myself.

- Settle down.

- F*** you! Settle down.

Okay, fine.

Go. Go.

But where?

What are you gonna do?

You're gonna go to the cops?

When was the last time they helped

anybody from 10th and Wolf?

So you can't do that,

so what - you're gonna

go after whoever done

this yourself?

Then you die and your

kid ends up

in some foster home.

You want that?

I've got a seven year old kid

I can't feed no more.

What am I gonna do?

It's alright.

You want a job?

What?

A job. You want a job?

I'm not much of a dancer.

You think I'd put you up

on one of those stages?

No, we're looking for a bartender.

I don't know how to

bartend either.

Well good. That means you

don't know how to steal yet.

Vincent, come here.

Meet me in the back.

Brandy is your new bartender.

Stupid me. I didn't even

know I needed one.

- How you've beenBrandy?

- Good, Vin. Thanks.

Give her the good shifts and

give her a grand up front.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

And forget about that other

stuff that we talked about.

That way nobody wins.

I gotta get this.

Yeah, hallo?

Am I speaking with

Joseph Marcucci?

Yeah, you got him.

Who is this?

The Joseph Marcucci who resides

at The Dorchester, 226 Market Square?

Who is this?

My name is Simon Liebowitz, sir, and

I work for the Board of Health.

The Board of Health?

Who is this?

Simon Liebowitz.

Yeah, I heard you the first time.

What the f*** do you want?

There's no need to be

rude, Mr. Marcucci.

Tell me about the rats.

Rats?

Okay, you don't know

about the rats.

You couldn't have missed them.

What f***ing rats?

The condominium where you

reside has been quarantined

due to an outbreak of rats.

- Rats?

- Yes.

Yes. Big, fat, stinky rats

concentrated in your

bedroom area.

You need to be more careful who

you sleep with, Mr. Marcucci.

Who the f*** is this?

Leibowitz!

Simon Leibowitz!

Vincent, get out here!

We've got a big,

fat, f***ing rat.

He still has this jacket.

Come here.

They told us we were going in there

to get a monster

who has killed thousands

of his own people.

And just before we

got the son of a b*tch...

- They make a deal?

- They make a deal.

Jesus.

They lied to us and people died.

A lot of their guys and some of ours.

Some of my buddies.

So I got drunk that night

and beat the sh*t out of an MP

and I stole the colonel's jeep

and I went after Saddam myself.

Get out of here.

I swear to God.

And I'd have got him too,

If I didn't drive 30 miles

in the wrong direction.

Jeep ran out of gas just

outside Kuwait City.

That's my Tommy right there.

For friends and family.

It's good to see you, Tommy.

I just got the call.

Who's this?

It's my brother Tommy.

How you're doing?

Army guy.

Actually it's the marines.

There's a little bit of difference.

One is pussies,

one is not.

Hey, give us a minute, will you?

What you gotta be a jerk for?

Who called?

Rocco.

They want to arrange a meet.

Why don't I save us

both a little time

and I can tell you to go f*** yourself...

Reggio, Joey.

They wanna meet.

Rocco is the one who set Manny up.

Hey, I think we should meet.

Well...

Hold up, guys.

Stay there, Rocco.

- Did you invite them in here?

- A talk, Joey. A talk.

Who's the grease ball ?

That's Reggio's nephew.

Take it easy.

F*** these ginzo motherfuckers.
