That's it.

Cyril, that's it. I recognize it.

Damn right.

But you got to play it much louder, okay?

Don't worry.

I'll make this catgut meow.

[Strums Loud Chord ]

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Come on, just slow down.

Watch out for the hole! Ow!

How about a little music?

Catherina!

Catherina!

[ Whistling, Cheers ]

Good night and thank you!

Whoa!

Sh*t!

I have to go in.

I haven't ridden double

since I was a little girl.

And I've never been serenaded.

So... it was a lovely evening.

Molte grazie.

Right?

Buona notte, Ca lherina.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine! I'm fine.

Let me see.

He won't tell me who did it.

It was dark!

I can tell you for sure they

all wore Brut aftershave...

and reeked of Lavoris.

What were you doin' there

by yourself?

I was just walking.

Well, what kind of car did they drive?

It was a Mercedes convertible.

Was it blue?

Yes.

We seen that car.

All right. They want a fight,

we'll give them a fight.

We rednecks are few.

College paleface students

are many.

I counsel peace.

Come on.

Let's go find those bastards.

[ Dave ]

I have to go somewhere.

If [ Disco ]

You haven't pledged any sorority yet?

No.

You should. Most frat guys

won't go out with dormies.

I'm the exception.

So, you're on the swimming team, huh?

Yep.

Breaststroke.

Loosen it up J

Loosen it up If

[ Mike] Is that him?

[Cyril ] I guess.

Who are they?

A bunch of cutters.

What are cutters?

Townies.

[Tires Screech ]

[ Mike]

There it is. There's his Mercedes.

[ Cyril ] Hey, Mike. Mike, I

don't think we can go in there.

Oh, yeah? Watch this.

Sh*t.

Uh, due cappuccini, per favore.

Oh, that's the wrong guy.

That's the wrong guy.

[ Man ]

A bunch of cutter kids.

There he is.

[ Bowling Pins Rattle ]

Hi there.

Would you like to roll some balls?

[ Mike]

Come on, Cyril!

I can't get it out.

My-My finger's stuck.

My papa, he tells me,

Figlio mio, he tells me,

we are fishermen in our family

for as far back as I can see.

You- You can do what you want.

You go to America.

Say hello to the new world for me.

MY Papa.

It's nice to hear

somebody misses his parents.

Ce/10, I miss.

Just like you

miss your mama and papa.

L- I don't miss them.

I went as far as I could

to get away from them.

Ah, but they miss you.

Eh, at home, they sit,

and they look at your photo...

and they say,

Ah, how we miss our Catherina...

our bambina.

You shouldn't smoke.

What's your major?

Sosh.

Oh, Sosh. That's a nice major.

Would you mind if I-

What are you cutters doing here?

- Did you get lost?

- No.

Then why don't you get lost now?

Is that him?

No. No, I don't think it is. No.

Let's get out of here.

Smart move, shorty.

[ Shouting, Screaming ]

[ Grunting ]

Ow!

- All right! Break it up!

- Watch it!

Oh, sh*t.

Break it up!

[ Katherine ] We gotta go now.

Come on.

The cutters started it!

[ Man ] Come on. Let's go.

Fun's over. Come on.

[ Man #2 ] Break it up, everybody.

Get out of there.

[ Officer]

Move it! Let's go!

Most of you will only spend

four years here...

but to a lot of us,

Bloomington is our home.

I don't like the way you boys

have been behaving in my home.

If you feel compelled to compete

with the kids from the town...

you will do it in a different arena.

We've decided to expand the field of

this year's Little 500 bicycle race...

to include a team from the town.

But, sir, they're not good enough.

Why not?

I don't want to be in the Little 500.

Oh, Christ.

I thought you'd jump

at the chance.

L- I don't want to be seen

with all those college kids.

That's the whole point!

They're all gonna be there.

Don't you want to beat those

shitheads in front of everybody?

Doesn't it take four people

to have a team?

Well, we got four.

I mean, don't we?

We all enter, Dave rides the whole thing,

and we win!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

Uh, look, Mike.

I'm going to be working that day, okay?

Working?

Yeah, I'm going to get a job.

By yourself?

Yeah! I need the money.

Thanks a lot, Dave. That's really great.

You're a real pal!

You won't be working

the day of the Italian race.

Mike, the time comes

when we all have to go our own ways.

[ Mike]

You're a real adult, aren't you?

B-town boy grows up.

It's going to happen sometime.

Oh, yeah.

Is that what Nancy says?

You can just leave her out of this.

Shut up, would you?

I wasn't talking to you in the first place.

Hey, well, I don't give a goddamn!

You're not the quarterback here, Mike!

At least I was once!

Which is better than being

a midget all my life!

Cut it out! Just cut it out!

Hey, bambino, che cosa?

Just drop that Italian sh*t,

too, all right?

I'm really sick of that crap.

Oh, sh*t!

You know, I think you're just

afraid of those college guys.

And you're not, right, Mike?

The only thing I'm afraid of is wasting

the rest of my life with you guys!

I thought that was the whole plan...

that we were going

to waste the rest of our lives together.

[Chattering, Giggling ]

What's he doing? That guy-

[Laughs]

Man!

[ Girl ]

Come on, Rod!

[ Cyril ]

Come on, Mike!

[ Girl ] Yay, Rod! Whoo!

[ Cheering ]

[ Girl ]

Come on, Rod!

[ Moocher]

You can do it! Come on, Mike!

[ Girl ] Yay, Rod! [ Applause ]

[ Groans ]

[ Dave] Mike! Mike!

Hold on, Mike!

[Gasping ]

[ Coughing ]

I tried calling her to tell her,

but I just couldn't.

She's going to see you

in the 500, you know.

You know, if she really likes you,

she just won't care.

Hey, uh, Dave, me and Nancy,

we're going to get married.

What a mess.

Moocher, you're Catholic, aren't you?

Yeah.

You ever go to confession?

Twice.

Make you feel better?

Once.

[ Bell Tolls ]

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

You look nice.

Your hair looks great.

What do you think they're going to ask us?

Nothing we can't answer, I suppose.

Wonder if I have to have a job to qualify.

I don't think so.

I think it's mostly blood and relatives

that they're interested in.

Blood and relatives?

That's great. I got both of them.

Oh, fudge! You know what?

No. What?

I only brought $4.00.

Oh, well, it's only five.

I'll tell you what. We'll go Dutch.

On a marriage license?

Sure. Why not?

[ Horn Honks ]

Papa! Ciao, Papa!

[ Car Engine Sputters ]

Aw, damn. You know what I did?

I put premium gas

in this baby by mistake.

It hates expensive gas.

[ Horn Honks ]

[ Engine Sputters]

[Groaning ]

I should've hit him

when I had the chance.

He'd be dead now.

No more worries.

I'll talk to him, dear.

I'll tell him he either has to get a job
