A Bronx Tale Page #10

Synopsis: Gangster Sonny is the big man in the Bronx neighborhood of an Italian small boy named Calogero. A shooting witnessed by the boy (nicknamed C) is the starting point of a lasting bond between the gangster and the boy. Father (bus driver Lorenzo), however, disapproves. C grows up under the wing of both men, torn between his own natural honesty and his fascination with Sonny. C's neighborhood cronies get involved in theft, use of guns, and racial fights. When C falls for an African American girl, things don't get any easier. C's leap to manhood is marked by tragedy, but also by his recognition of the many faces of love.

No.

Don't forget. You need anything,

come to the bar and see me.

- Anything.

- All right.

So long, kid.

Dad, what are you doing here?

I came to pay my respects

to your friend.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

Dad, I'm sorry

if I ever hurt you in any way.

That's OK.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Sonny, I want to thank you

for saving my kid's life.

I never hated you.

I guess it's...

... that I was mad at you because

you made him grow up so fast.

May God have mercy on your soul.

I'll wait over here.

Sonny, did you hear that?

My father didn't hate you.

Nobody cares, huh?

You were wrong about that one.

Wasted talent.

See you around, Sonny.

Let's go home, C.

Sonny and my father always said

that when I get older

I would understand.

Well, I finally did.

I learned something

from these two men.

I learned to give love

and get love unconditionally.

You just have to accept people

for what they are.

And I learned

the greatest gift of all.

The saddest thing in life

is wasted talent.

And the choices that you make

will shape your life forever.

But you can ask anybody

from my neighbourhood

and they'll just tell you.

This is just another Bronx tale.
