FOR YOU.

[GUNSHOT]

F***ING THREATENING ME

WITH A GUN.

Sal:
RAY, HIS BROTHER,

AND HIS FAMILY:

MOVED TO GRAVESEND

FROM NORTH CAROLINA

WHEN THEY WERE, LIKE,

14 YEARS OLD.

MOTHERF***ER!

I'LL KICK

YOUR F***ING ASS.

AND THAT DOG:

YOU'RE F***ING.

Sal:
A COUPLE

YEARS LATER,

THEIR PARENTS:

HAD PASSED AWAY.

AND RAY AND MARK

WERE LEFT TO LIVE ALONE.

MOTHERF***ER.

I NEVER HAD A HAPPY

HOLIDAY AS LONG:

AS I'VE LIVED HERE.

Sal:
HATE IS

THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN

THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

THE COPS WERE ALWAYS

AT THEIR HOUSE.

RAY, WHO WANTED TO BE

A MUSICIAN,

BUT WASN'T REALLY GOOD,

ALWAYS PLAYED HIS GUITAR

LATE AT NIGHT.

ONE TIME, MARK TOLD RAY

TO STOP PLAYING:

'CAUSE HE COULDN'T SLEEP,

BUT RAY DIDN'T STOP.

SO, MARK CAME DOWN

TO THE BASEMENT:

WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE

AND CHASED RAY:

DOWN THE BLOCK,

AND ALL THE WAY:

INTO MacDONALD'S

ON 24th AVENUE.

RAY, ONLY IN HIS UNDERWEAR,

GOT AWAY FROM MARK,

BUT WAS ARRESTED

FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE.

GET IN THERE,

MAN. HE THREATENED ME

WITH A GUN.

YO, MARK.

COME HERE,

MARK!

Sal:
BUT RAY ALWAYS

GOT BACK AT MARK.

ONE TIME, HE SLASHED

MARK'S TIRES.

ANOTHER TIME, HE POURED

SUGAR IN HIS GAS TANK.

ANOTHER TIME, RAY HAD

F***ED MARK'S FIANCE,

CAUSING THEM TO SPLIT.

BUT THE WORST WAS

WHEN MARK HIT RAY

IN THE FACE WITH HIS SHOE

AND RAY TOOK BOILING WATER

AND THREW IT:

ALL OVER MARK'S LEGS,

GIVING HIM:

A THIRD-DEGREE BURN.

IT'S THE ONLY

VIRGIN MARY THAT

EVER EXISTS, MAN.

AT LEAST:

IN THIS PROPERTY.

WELL, YOU GUYS REALLY

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY.

I'M PROUD OF THAT.

Sal:
WE ALL TOLD

RAY TO MOVE OUT,

BUT RAY HAD NO MONEY

AND NO JOB.

F***IN' FIGHT

WITH A GUN.

HANG A SHINING STAR

UPON THE HIGHEST BOUGH

AND HAVE...

OPEN THE F***ING

TRUNK, MAN.

COME ON, MAN.

JUST OPEN:

THE TRUNK.

A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

JESUS CHRIST, WE GO CARS PASSING, MAN.

OK, OK, READY?

ON 3, ON 3.

1...2...3.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

WHO IS THIS GUY?

JOJO.

JOJO WHO?

JOJO THE JUNKIE.

HE OWES ME SOME DRUGS.

JOJO JUNKIE?

YEAH, MAN, DON'T F***IN'

WORRY ABOUT IT, MAN.

YOU'RE LETTING A JUNKIE

BURY MY BROTHER?

RAY, RAY,

CAN WE GO, MAN?

LISTEN, MAN, YOU'RE DOING

THE RIGHT THING, ALL RIGHT?

JOJO JUNKIE?

YOU'RE GONNA

F***IN' REPEAT.

DID I STUTTER?

YEAH, JOJO THE

F***IN' JUNKIE.

LET'S GO, MAN,

BEFORE F***IN'

PEOPLE COME.

GO TO THE LIGHT,

MAKE A RIGHT,

GO TO THE STOP SIGN,

MAKE ANOTHER RIGHT.

WHO IS:

THIS GUY JOJO?

YOU KNOW, ZANE,

I DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH GAS.

MY BASEBALL CAP, OK?

YOU BE THE SKIPPER.

DOES HE KNOW:

A LOT OF PEOPLE?

YEAH. WE GOT GAS

IN THE TRUNK.

YEAH, BUT

THAT'S NOT GOING

TO BE ENOUGH.

DON'T YOU THINK

IT'S A BAD IDEA

THAT WE TAKE MY BROTHER

TO HIM IF HE KNOWS

A LOT OF PEOPLE?

RAY.

HE MIGHT TALK.

WHAT? TAKE HIM WHERE?

WE'LL TAKE HIM TO JOJO.

I KNOW. THAT'S

WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

AND YOU SAID HE KNOWS

A LOT OF PEOPLE.

DON'T YOU THINK

HE MIGHT TALK?

TALK TO WHO?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T EVEN

KNOW THE GUY,

AND YOU WANT TO TAKE

MY BROTHER TO HIM?

I MEAN, ALL I KNOW

IS YOU TOLD ME:

HE'S A JUNKIE.

HUH? BARBARA WALTERS,

WALTER CRONKITE?

NO, I MEAN

WALTER CRONKITE.

YEAH.

NO, IT'S NOT.

IT'S WALTER CRONKITE.

IT'S HUGH DOWNS.

IT'S EITHER HUGH DOWNS

OR ANDY ROONEY...

OR MICKEY ROONEY OR

ONE OF THE ROONEY BROTHERS.

I WATCH IT:

IT'S WALTER CRONKITE.

WALTER CRONKITE:

F***ING COVERED

THE KENNEDY:

LAST TIME HE:

WAS ON FILM,

IT WAS F***IN'

BLACK AND WHITE.

LOOK, ARE YOU

SURE WE'RE GOING

TO GET GAS?

YEAH, I'M SURE.

I DON'T CARE

ABOUT 20/20 AND

WALTER CRONKITE.

WHAT DO YOU:

WANT TO DO THEN?

IF I DON'T LIKE

THIS GUY, WE'RE

GOING TO THE COPS.

GO TO THE COPS.

OH, OK, WE'LL

NOW, LISTEN.

YOU GUYS WANT ME

TO TAKE CARE OF THIS

OR WHAT? HUH?

Sal:
EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD

HAS A GUY WHO CAN

GET THINGS DONE:

WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ELSE

TO TURN TO.

WE HAVE JOJO.

IS THIS WHERE HE LIVES?

YEAH.

LET'S GO AROUND BACK.

HE'S PROBABLY TAKING

OUT THE TRASH.

Sal:
JOJO WAS

THE SUPERINTENDENT

OF SOME BUILDING

DOWN ON BAY PARKWAY,

AND THE MAIN SUPPLIER

OF CRACK AND COCAINE

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ZANE AND JOJO:

BECAME FRIENDS:

WHEN THEY MET IN A LINEUP

DOWN AT THE POLICE STATION

AT THE 6-2.

WHAT THEY DO IN BROOKLYN

IS PAY KIDS $10

TO FILL UP A LINEUP...

AND GET ONE REAL SUSPECT.

THAT DAY,

THE COPS LET ZANE GO,

BUT JOJO WAS PICKED OUT

FOR ASSAULTING:

AN ELDERLY LADY:

WITH A WOODEN YANKEE

BASEBALL BAT.

COME HERE! COME HERE!
