COME ON, SERIOUSLY.

CAN I GET THE 20?

YO, I AIN'T GOT THE 20.

YO, I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.

ANY OF YOUR BOYS

Sal:
IF YOU WENT OUT

ON A SATURDAY NIGHT

IN GRAVESEND,

YOU USUALLY GOT:

INTO 3 FIGHTS.

FIRST, YOU WOULD JUMP SOMEONE

YOU HAD A BEEF WITH.

THEN, YOU WOULD

GO TO A CLUB,

WHERE THE KID:

YOU JUST JUMPED WOULD

SHOW UP WITH HIS FRIENDS,

AND ANOTHER FIGHT

BREAKS OUT.

THEN, EVERYONE FROM THE CLUB

SHOWS UP AT THE DINER,

DRUNK AND STONED,

AND A FIGHT BREAKS OUT

IN THE PARKING LOT.

2 FIGHTS MEANT

YOU STARTED LATE.

ONE FIGHT IS RARE.

NO FIGHTS MEANT:

THAT EITHER NO ONE

KNOWS WHO YOU ARE,

OR NO ONE WANTED

TO F*** WITH YOU

BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT

YOU HAD ENOUGH PROBLEMS.

IS THAT THAT FAG MICHAEL

YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU, TOO?

YOU KNOW WE DON'T LIKE HIM.

ALL RIGHT,

Sal:
ZANE'S FATHER

WAS KILLED WHEN HE WAS

4 YEARS OLD IN A MOB HIT.

SO, HE GREW UP

WITH HIS MOTHER:

AND HIS GRANDMOTHER.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU

ABOUT WHEN YOU COME

IN THIS HOUSE:

TO TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES?

Sal:
HIS MOTHER DID

THE BEST SHE COULD,

BUT SHE COULDN'T

CONTROL ZANE.

HE WAS THROWN OUT OF

A PRIVATE GRAMMAR SCHOOL,

A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL,

AND EVENTUALLY,

OUT OF HIS MOM'S

CATHOLIC HOME.

ALL NIGHT:

YOU'VE BEEN OUT.

I'VE BEEN HERE.

OUT WHERE?

WITH WHO?

OH, LET ME GUESS, MARY.

MARY,

THE F***ING SLUT, HUH?

WHAT?

HUH? WHERE

HAVE YOU BEEN?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I WAS OUT.

OUT WHERE?

I WAS--

UNTIL THIS TIME?

DON'T TALK TO YOUR

MOTHER LIKE THAT.

OK?

OH, HERE

WE GO AGAIN.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS

GANGING UP ON ME?

WE'RE NOT

GANGING UP:

ON YOU.

WE WERE WORRIED.

YEAH, YOU CAN

STAY OUT.

TILL:

A DECENT HOUR.

I BEEP YOU, YOU

DON'T ANSWER ME.

COULD I JUST GO TO BED?

NO.

NO.

OK? NO.

GO BACK WHERE YOU WERE

ALL NIGHT.

RIGHT.

ARE GANGING UP ON ME.

NO, NO, GET OUT!

WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO

MAKE GOD DAMN MEATBALLS?

I'M SICK OF THIS SH*T.

YEAH, SH*T.

GET OUT!

LISTEN TO ME.

AS LONG AS YOUR--

MY EARS!

YOU AIN'T HEARD

NOTHING YET.

YOUR VOICE:

DON'T YOU KNOW

HOW TO SHUT UP?

NO, NO, GET OUT!

I'M LEAVING NOW.

I'M GETTING OUT.

GOOD, GOOD, GET OUT.

YEAH, I'LL SHOW YOU SH*T.

SH*T! I'LL SHOW YOU SH*T.

THROW HIM OUT!

HEY, RIGHT HERE.

TAKE YOUR F***ING CLOTHES.

GO SLEEP WHERE:

YOU SLEPT LAST NIGHT. GO!

WE WORRIED ALL:

NIGHT FOR YOU.

WE CRIED ALL NIGHT.

Sal:
ZANE WASN'T WELL-LIKED.

WE WERE HIS FRIENDS,

AND WE DIDN'T LIKE HIM.

THE BEST WAY:

I CAN DESCRIBE ZANE

IS THAT HE WAS SOMEONE

WHO YOU NEVER WANTED AROUND,

BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS GLAD

THAT HE WAS ON YOUR SIDE.

I HAVE A CURFEW.

THIS IS MY HOUSE.

YOU GO BY MY RULES

OR YOU GET OUT!

GO STAY WITH MARY!

Sal:
THE GUYS WENT

TO LOOK FOR JOJO

DOWN UNDER THE EL

AND DOWN AT DYKER PARK,

BUT HE WAS NOWHERE

TO BE FOUND,

SO THEY DECIDED TO WAIT

FOR HIM AT HIS BUILDING.

[KNOCKS]

F***, WHY CAN'T WE

JUST BURY HIM OURSELVES?

WHAT DID I SAY, RAY?

JUST LET ME:

TAKE CARE OF THIS.

HE KNOWS WHAT:

HE'S DOING, RIGHT?

WHY CAN'T WE JUST

DO IT OURSELVES?

YO, MAN, I'M

SICK OF THIS.

I'M GOING TO

WAIT IN THE CAR.

ALL RIGHT? LET'S JUST

WAIT IT OUT, ALL RIGHT?

NO, DUDE, WHAT'S

GOING ON HERE?

HEY, KID, KID,

STEP BACK.

I'VE GOT A CAR

TO TOW, OK?

LOOK, THIS IS

MY FRIEND'S CAR.
