City Island Page #8

he has feelings of shame

and inferiority about his ambition.

Hey, don't go that far.

Oh, I don't believe you.

What? You know what,

I don't give a sh*t if you don't believe me.

In fact, I don't give a sh*t

if you don't believe me...

because you got a few things

to answer for yourself.

Like what's going on over here?

What? What?

Are you leaving me for her?

Oh come on, mom.

Dad couldn't get her.

Hey, little girl, I think you better shut

your mouth and mind your own business.

Anyway, what are you doing handcuffed

to that animal over there in that robe?

Tell him.

Yeah, tell him.

I was back at school...

Oh my God! Just tell him

the truth. You're all so sick.

I stole your car.

- You stole the car?

I boosted your goddamn car so I could

take off and get away from all your crap.

What is that gotta do with her?

The young one over there.

Go ahead.

Yeah, go ahead.

I'm a stripper.

A what?

What about those two things?

I paid for them myself, alright.

You go to college, you're in a school,

you got that scholarship.

They took it away, okay.

I can go back next semester but

I gotta pay for it myself.

And I'm gonna.

Why did they take your scholarship away?

Because I screwed up, okay,

Mom, I screwed up. Me.

And I got caught...

I got caught with pot in my room.

You smoked pot?

Yes, I smoked pot.

God, it's such a stupid word, pot.

They took away your scholarship...

and kicked you out of school

because of a little pot?

Oh sweetie, honey everyone smokes pot.

Okay, wait a second with the lovey dovey

thing here, we got a lot of things to settle.

You've stolen my car, you know I can

have you locked up in 10 minutes for that.

Fine, do it. At least

everyones honest.

You're so scared of your wife you

won't even smoke in front of her.

Vince? You're smoking.

No, no, I quit.

Liar. And you got your wife

thinking you got a girlfriend...

coz you're too scared to tell her

you wanna take an acting class.

This whole time, you got

this weird agenda with me

and you won't even tell me what it is.

Why did you get me out of jail, Vince?

Why did you bring me here?

- I told you I was a friend of your mother.

My mother never had a friend so

good they'd do me a right turn.

Everyone hated her.

She was a drunk and a whore.

And she got you to get me out of jail.

I don't know what the hell I'm gonna think...

Whatever I did, I did on my own.

Nobody puts me up to anything.

Your mother was a

goddamn psycho b*tch.

And that's why I walked out of

her before you were born.

You're my father.

I'm your father.

Oh my God.

Wait a second.

Alright, what happened here?

Oh, no, no, sweetie.

Your son was a perfect gentleman.

How long have you known about this guy?

I've been trying to tell you

for years now. I just...

There's so much I wanna tell you.

I just could never...I could never

find which seems to be the right time.

I thought you were just sick of me.

- Sick of you?

No, scared of you maybe a little bit

but never sick of you.

You're like a...

you're the air that I breath.

Will somebody please uncuff me?

I can't believe...

I got your back.

You're my boy now.

Hey, come here, hug your brother.

Right now, let's go, hug your brother.

Well, mom, you were right.

Dad did have sex with Tony's mom.

Kudos to you!

Well, well done.

Molly?

Molly Charlsworth?

She left town, I think.

Isn't she your partner?

- Yeah.

Is she gonna be back?

- I don't think so.

One less actor in New York

for you guys to compete with.

You ready, Vince?

Yeah.

- Go ahead.

You know the day, you asked

me about my worst secret

my most personal secret

the secret of all my secrets.

At that time, I don't understand it.

But now I get it.

First, I wanna begin you why,

where I'm from...

My name is Vincent Rizzo

and I'm from City Island...

Somehow with Tony's appearance...

a lot of good things happened.

You are one lying son of a b*tch!

To my husband, the best actor in City Island.

I guessed I should've looked for a musical.

How's that man? It's good?

- Fantastic.

To my father, the only actor on City Island.

- Hey, watch yourself.

And here, we're going again.

But it's not you, you were excellent, Vince.

We're making some adjustments.

- Okay, whatever. I'm here.

Every busy city needs an island of peace.

Just like every busy soul needs a place to propose.

Hey, Vinnie, get over here.

Me, I was lucky..

because God he has a way of busting you...

when you most need it.

And he has a way of giving you a second chance.

To attend for your screw ups.

Now, I got my second chance.

Okay, let's eat!
