A Bronx Tale Page #8

then you give her the test.

What, the Mario test?

Mario's a f***ing psycho.

Why do you listen to this kid?

Give her my test, the door test.

- What's the door test?

- Listen to me.

You pull up right where she is, right?

Before you get out of the car,

you lock both doors.

You get out of the car,

you walk over to her.

You bring her over to the car.

You take out the key, put it in the lock,

open the door for her.

Then you let her get in.

Then you close the door for her.

You walk around the back of the car

and look through the rear window.

If she doesn't reach over

and lift up that button

so you can get in,

dump her.

- Just like that?

- Listen to me, kid.

If she doesn't reach over, lift up

that button for you so you can get in,

she's a selfish broad and all you're

seeing is the tip of the iceberg.

Dump her and dump her fast.

What about the beautiful things

you just told me?

Do what my heart tells me to do.

Find someone to put wind

in my sails. She could be a great one.

Bullshit, kid.

The door test, that's what counts.

You dump her,

and you dump her fast.

- Dump her?

- Dump her.

Dump her?

- Dad. Can I ask you something?

- Yeah.

I need your opinion. You know

Joey Osso from down the block?

Yeah.

He asked me what I thought about

him going out with a coloured girl.

- What do you think about that?

- Joey can't find any white girls?

That's not a good answer, Dad.

What's the problem?

I get along with everybody

on the bus,

but when it comes to marriage,

we should marry within our own.

- You know I'm not prejudiced...

- Don't tell me that, cos you are.

What would you say if I wanted

to go out with a coloured girl?

You would never do that.

You never know. This girl

might be one of the great ones.

You're only allowed three great women

in your lifetime, know what I'm saying?

- Who told you that?

- Joey Osso.

- Joey Osso?

- Hmm.

You tell Joey Osso that

sometimes in the heat of passion,

the little head tells

the big head what to do,

and that the big head

should think twice about it.

All right.

Be careful.

- You OK?

- No.

My brother got beat up

in your neighbourhood.

What are you talking about?

Yesterday, some Italian guys beat up

my brother in your neighbourhood.

- What's that have to do with me?

- Were you there?

- No, I wasn't there.

- Calogero, please don't lie to me.

Jane, I'm telling you the truth.

I wasn't there.

We'll see who's lying.

My brother's in the car.

I told him I was going out

with an Italian, so he came along.

He recognized you

and said you beat him up.

- You did that to his face.

- I didn't touch your brother.

- Believe me, I didn't touch him.

- OK, we'll see.

Willy!

We'll get this straight right now.

Yeah, that's him. That's him.

You did this to me, man.

- I didn't do anything...

- Yes, you did!

- Are you sure it was him?

- I'm positive!

Please don't believe him.

I didn't touch him.

- So you were there?

- But I didn't do anything, Jane.

- Believe me...

- You told me you weren't there!

It was the other guys.

I tried to help him.

- How did my eye get like this?

- I tried to f***ing help you!

- Bullshit, man!

- You know I didn't do anything.

- Why were you on top of me?

- It was the others!

- It was you!

- I was the only guy helping you.

- And you f***ing repay me like this?

- F*** that! No, f*** you, man!

I didn't do anything!

F*** you, you f***ing n*gger!

See what I'm talking about?

Just like the rest of them!

How come you're back so fast?

The keys are in the car. I gotta go.

Whoa! Wait a minute. Come here.

What happened?

It just didn't work out. I gotta go.

- What happened with the girl?

- Everything went wrong.

- You wanna go to the trotters with us?

- No. I don't wanna talk. I gotta go.

- C, you sure? Come on.

- Maybe next time, Sonny.

Come on.

- Take my car. Bobby, you drive.

- OK, Sonny.

- Why are you driving Sonny's car?

- What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

I just saw you driving Sonny's car.

- I don't want you driving his car.

- I'm not in the mood to hear this.

I don't care. We already talked about

the bikers and that fight in that bar.

- I don't want you in that bar.

- What was I gonna do, run away?

- Make them think I got no heart?

- You think those guys care?

What make you think

you're so special?

- You don't know Sonny.

- I know how he thinks.

You f*** up,

he'll hurt you like anybody.

- Sonny trusts me.

- That man can't trust anybody.

The sooner you know that the better.

How many times do I have to tell you?

People don't respect him.

They fear him.

There's a big difference.

You wanna be somebody?

Be somebody who works

and takes cares of his family.

Yeah, look away. Look...

You're my only son. I'm looking out

for your best interests.

The saddest thing in life

is wasted talent.

- I don't wanna hear this.

- You don't but you're gonna hear it.

I might not have any money,

I might not have a Cadillac,

but I don't have to look

over my shoulder.

I don't answer to anybody.

My parents came here with nothing...

- And they died with nothing.

- Hey!

Don't you dare disrespect

your grandparents! Do you hear me?

And you're wrong.

They tried to give me a better life.

- That's what I'm trying to...

- What better life?

We don't even own a car!

We ain't got money, we ain't got nothing!

Don't take it out on me

cos you're a bus driver.

The working man is a sucker!

Hey, C. Look what these black

motherfuckers did to our club.

You believe the balls on these n*ggers,

throwing eggs at our club?

Come on, get in the car.

We're gonna go f*** them up.

Come on, get in the car.

- Uh-oh, Sonny and Jimmy!

- Oh, sh*t! Back off! Get out of here!

What's going on, Sonny?

After you picked up my car,

where did you go?

I drove around and

went to pick up Jane. Why?

- Was there really a Jane? Talk to me!

- Sonny, what is it?

After you dropped that car off,

it didn't start.

We lifted the hood and there was

something on the engine. It didn't go off.

Tell me how that got on there,

and where did you go in my car!

I picked it up,

I drove right to the school

and I locked the doors

like you told me.

Don't lie to me!

Where did you go with my car?

I didn't do anything!

I swear, Sonny! Please!

- Don't f***ing lie to me!

- I didn't do anything!

I swear, I just went right

to the school and that was it!

I swear to God! Why would I hurt you?

You've been like a father to me!

Calogero? Hey!

Calogero! Calogero!

- What happened to my son?

- Go drive your bus.

- Don't tell me to drive my bus!

- Take it easy!

Put your hands on me,

I'll stick you in the f***ing ground!

Next time find out what's going on

before you open your mouth.

Yo, C!

Come here.

- What happened with you and Sonny?

- Nothing. I don't wanna talk about it.

- Where'd you get this car?

- Don't worry about it. We borrowed it.

Hey, slow down!

Slow the f*** down. I don't wanna

get pinched before we get there.
