Friends and Family Page #2

You know what this means.

Uh-huh.

We said if we ever

got engaged-

No, no.

Damon, we talked

about this.

Talked about what?

Damon.

It's time

to tell our parents.

So...

how did it go?

Oh, my boys,

my boys.

Did you pass Vito

on the way in?

Why aren't the two of you

Sicilian?

Then you could take over

the family

after I die.

We don't want to take over

the family, Padrone.

He's a good son.

You have two good sons.

They love you.

Honey-

We have to get all the way

to Indianapolis by tomorrow.

It's our first trip

to see Stephen and Danny.

I want everything

to be perfect.

Right.

All over,

we're being chased out.

First the fish market,

then the garbage trucks.

How are we going

to make a living?

It's almost like

we're being forced into drugs.

Please, drugs.

You know

how I feel about drugs.

It's easy for you, Victor.

It's never easy.

Do I look like a mushroom,

Victor?

Stop feeding me bullshit;

You should pardon the expression.

You're exaggerating

the difference between us.

As I said before, bullshit.

You should again pardon

the expression.

I always say,

"Stick with what you know.

"Stick with what works.

Stick with what's clean. "

The numbers,

there's a clean business.

Unions,

there's a clean business.

Prostitution,

there's a clean business.

Oh, Damon, my boy.

I can't believe it.

Engaged.

What did you say

her name was?

I didn't.

It's Jenny.

Jenny Patrizzi.

Is she pretty?

Matt.

She's beautiful.

What did you say

her family does?

Dear?

What does her father do?

For a living.

Yoo-hoo!

I don't know?

Now, about

the blue fish-

Blue fish.

And to drink?

How do they grill that?

It's in a mustard remoulade.

Doesn't it turn flaky?

Well, how would you describe

the consistency?

It's somewhere

between sole and tuna.

Oh.

That comes

with avocado polenta.

How does that-

Vito.

I think

Mr. Levine is hungry.

Okay.

I'll have...

He'll have whatever

he was talking about.

The blue fish.

He'll have the blue fish.

Okay.

Victor,

the things you're up on.

Wireless this,

internet that.

You're as old as I am.

Who taught you all that?

It's the 21 st century, Marvin.

Got to look forward,

not back.

You know

what you are, Victor?

You're a genius.

You're a goddamn genius.

Would you excuse me?

I have to-

Vito, Mr. Levine

is talking.

Well, he's just embarrassed

to hear me talk

about you like that.

You have to go

to the bathroom?

Yes.

All right, go, go.

What, are you crazy,

Victor?

Leaving you alone?

He had to go.

Well, since when

do you sit in public

without a bodyguard?

You don't see me letting my son

go take a piss, do you?

I'd make him pee

in his pants right here.

Tell him; tell him.

Bodyguard?

He's not my bodyguard.

Those are my bodyguards.

Those guys?

Victor.

They're figureless.

Animals.

Those guys?

You know what?

They're tougher

than they look.

Tougher than they look?

Imagine.

Vito, you're supposed

to be in the bathroom.

You left your father's table

for this.

What would he say

if he saw you?

Let's go.

Do you even have to go

to the bathroom?

Please tell me you did.

Tell me you didn't lie

to your father on purpose.

You're going

to be Padrone one day.

What's the matter

with you?

So how did you guys meet?

We were Army Rangers

together.

This was before

"don't ask, don't tell. "

We asked.

We told.

So what does this

make Patrizzi?

A fairy godfather?

You have an upset stomach

or something?

No.

Old man, get in the car!

Get the car-now!

Must be Levine.

You go.

What about you?

I'll stay with him;

you go.

Hurry up,; hurry up!

You okay?

Your job is, before they

drive off with your father,

you make them

kill you first.

Okay?

You know we'd love to come

and visit you in New York, son,

but I don't know

if I'll have the time.

Of course he'll have

the time, dear.

You'll make the time.

I just don't want to get

his hopes up for nothing.

Nonsense.

Of course we'll go.

Of course we'll go.

Damon, darling,

could we please talk more

about this later?

Sure, Mom.

Mom, Dad, I love you.

Oh, we love you too, son.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

Alma, we can't go

to New York.

New York's a stronghold

of the occupation army.

That phone call

was a sign.

But Damon isn't even

in the movement.

A sign from the Lord.

Oh, god, Matt,

I think it may finally be time.

Alma, in our lifetime?

The days of the so-called

federaI so-called government

are coming to an end.

Matt, it's time to attack.

But, Alma, New York.

I mean, I always thought

the final struggle

would begin

in their capital.

No, in Washington,

the enemy is strong.

In New York, they're weak.

Come.

The others are probably here.

I'm fine.

I can see you're fine, Papa.

I'm not worried

about what happened today.

I'm worried about what could-

They weren't

after me.

I feel better when Stephen and Danny

are with you.

Why can't they be

with you all the time?

Because they're busy.

They run my whole operation.

Someone else can.

Who? Who someone?

Vito and Frankie?

Vito and Frankie.

Let's go play upstairs

in the family room.

Why?

Why are you always talking bad

about your sons, Victor?

And with their children sitting

right here.

A soldier must inspire fear,

Stella.

Vito and Frankie

do not inspire fear.

Of course they inspire fear.

I'm afraid of them.

Everybody's afraid of them.

Stephen, Danny, tell him

how afraid you are

of Vito and Frankie.

The dancing girls at the club

are not afraid

of Vito and Frankie.

Stick to cooking.

My wife.

I beg her to let me

get her a maid.

Why should you spend

your whole day in the kitchen?

Of course I spend

my whole day in the kitchen.

I'm afraid to step out

of the kitchen,

because I'm afraid

of Vito and Frankie.

I'm their mother,

but still I'm afraid of them.

People are afraid of you

if you are a killer.

Vito and Frankie

are not killers.

Of course they're killers.

Who says they're not killers?

What, because they haven't

killed anyone?

That's because

you haven't asked them.

Vito!

Vito, get in here.

Mama, this is-

I'm frightened

just thinking about them.

Vito, your father

wants you

to kill someone.

She's crazy, Vito.

I'm not crazy;

tell him, Victor.

Mama,

what are you doing?

Red wine instead of marsala?

We talked about this.

The wine is going

to overpower the veaI.

I don't know

what you're talk-

I don't know what

he's talking about.

He's never talked

about marsala with me.

Go back upstairs, please.

Go. You hear me?

Go.

Boys, tell my husband.

Tell him-

Mama, enough.

Don't try to put Stephen

and Danny in the middle.

Maybe Vito and Frankie

aren't cut out

to go into the business.

Maybe they should do

something else.

Vito is a talented cook

and a baker.

And have you seen some

of the clothes

that Frankie has made?

May God forgive you

for what you're saying.

Frankie doesn't want

to sew clothes.

Storia finita.

Of course he does!

Sophie, didn't Frankie
