Yeah, what?

How much is he Gaudio?

- Hey, who invited the brother along?

- It's the little brother. Baby Gaudio.

Come on. Take off the jacket.

You look like you're working.

What's the matter?

Loosen up that bow tie.

Where's Bobby? Bobby's gotta see

this face. Look at this face.

I'll say this about Tommy.

He had his issues,

but he sure knew how to run a party.

Fast as I can

Walk like a man from you

I bring the boy to the party.

Now I bring the party to the boy.

Oh, hello.

Enjoy yourselves.

We will.

Uh-

Hi, I'm Bob.

Shh. I'm your Christmas present.

Yes! Well done!

- Well done!

All right. Congratulations.

You were right.

It is more fun with another person.

- Yeah, hello.

Frankie.

Come on. Come here.

We're still going. Jump in your car.

You'll be here in 10 minutes.

I got a present for you.

You know, Tommy.

We just got back from church.

You don't even understand, Frankie.

You are missing all the fun.

No, I think I got as much fun

as I can handle here. Right, Toni'?

All right. Bye.

Like a man

Like a

Man

Did I not say the stars were in

alignment?

Three number ones in a row.

- You are always right, Crewe.

There's that.

- Where's Tommy and Nicky? Get them.

Hey, come on in here.

Over here. He's got golden ears,

he's blind as a bat.

- Come on! Three number ones!

Right?

- That's what I'm saying.

- Who's the best f***ing team?

- All right.

- Come on, Frankie. Aah.

Well, maybe we should

make an investment.

- In what? In art?

- Mm-mm. In us.

What do you mean?

Well, you got the voice.

I got the songs.

Yeah, so?

So we make a partnership.

I give you half of everything I write...

...and you give me half of everything

you record outside the group.

Why would I ever record

outside the group?

I don't know. Things happen.

What about Tommy and Nick?

Nicky's really the one got me singing.

Tommy, we wouldn't be here

if it weren't for him.

- It won't cut into their share. I'd never do that.

- We gotta tell them.

Yeah, of course.

If things work out,

think we could talk about a sax?

If things work out, we can talk about

a whole horn section.

Okay, I'm in.

All right.

I'll have somebody draw up a contract.

What, you mean like sign a piece

of paper from a lawyer?

- Yeah.

- You wanna do this thing?

- But we gotta get something on paper.

- So we do it.

You want a contract?

Here.

A Jersey contract.

He went away and you hung around

And bothered me every night

And when I wouldn't go out with you

You said things that weren't very nice

Hey, Tommy, you put that 10 grand

back in the tax account?

Come on, Nicky. Get off my back, all right?

Well, it's adding up. Plus the 3500

you dropped at the track last Saturday-

What are you, a ledger? Huh?

Forget it. From now on there's

a new arrangement.

Frankie rides with me.

You ride with the genius.

- That's kind of up to Frankie, isn't it?

- Stick to what you know.

Come on.

Isn't it up to Bobby too?

I mean, the two of them are always together.

They're like a pair of...

...um, what do you call them...

...Chinese twins.

Try not to say anything the rest of the day.

All right, sweetheart?

Everybody has a girlfriend, honey.

Everybody.

I don't understand.

Why did you get married in the first place?

- Are you kidding? Family is everything.

- Oh.

Well, that makes sense.

Here we go. All right.

- This looks like the place.

- Okay, Bobby, I'll call you.

- Yep.

- Get your stuff?

- I got it.

- Have a good one.

- Take it easy.

You show up for a couple of days

and think that makes you a father?

At least when I'm here, I'm here.

I'm not stoned.

- Think the kids don't know?

- You wanna switch places? Anytime!

- There's the kitchen and washing!

- Go. We'll live off what you make!

No, thanks.

I wouldn't wanna cramp your style.

The road is the road.

I'm there to provide for this family.

- Certain things are none of your business!

- Your family's out there!

You think I don't know what goes on?

Here. Unh!

Give it to one of your "special friends."

Go tour outer space.

You'll still be what you always were:

A dumb wop from Jersey who never even

graduated high school.

Mr. Vally with a

Give me a f***ing break.

Pick that up.

Pick that up.

Is Mommy very sick?

What do you mean?

Well, sometimes she drinks a lot of medicine

and then goes to sleep on the couch.

Medicine, huh?

Hmm.

Well, you know, Francine...

"sometimes that medicine

makes Mommy really tired.

Daddy, do you love me?

Of course I love you.

But do you like me?

Do I like you?

Are you crazy? Yes, I like you.

I like you more than the stars

and the moon and the sun...

...and everything all thrown

in together, okay?

Will you go to sleep now?

Sing me.

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me

You couldn't see how I adored you

So close

So close and yet so far

Excuse me. You can't be here.

Tommy's put me in this awkward position.

I've stalled my people as long as I can,

but he's in too deep.

and it all goes up in smoke.

This is bullshit.
