The Family Page #2

That's why we're here.

- Landings. That's a vast subject.

- Yeah.

What's your angle on it?

My angle? Well, the Marines.

It's a kind of a tribute to them.

I thought there were only GI's

involved in the landings.

Yeah, but I'm going to discuss the Army

and the core of it and so on,

starting with the fleets.

You know, before the landings,

there was the boardings.

Sure. I guess you'll be devoting

a chapter to Operation Overlord.

Well, I don't think a single chapter

could cover that.

What the 314th Infantry

did in Taubenhof tops it all for me.

Young fellas, from Texas

mostly, weren't they?

Oh yeah, yeah, those guys,

they were like real cowboys.

That's for sure. Yeah.

Jeez, it's four o'clock already.

I've got to get back in the house.

The kids are coming back to school.

- Nice to meet you.

- It was nice meeting you.

Same here.

Why the f*** didn't I just say

I was a novelist?

The window depicts the life

of St. Martin.

It is 15th century stained glass.

- Oh.

- Are you sightseeing in the region?

No, my family and I just moved here.

- Uh... Well, not too far from here.

- Welcome to you then.

It's always with great pleasure

that I welcome

a new member of our congregation.

Oh...

A bientt.

A bientt.

Wow. That's amazing.

- I'm a collector, too.

- Really?

Yeah. I mean, nothing like you.

I only started a few months ago.

The only one I'm missing

is PSG's number eight.

I'll have to check, but I think

I may be able to help you out with that.

If you have it, honestly,

I'll give anything you want for it.

That's a deal, man.

Hey. You want a ride?

Thanks, but I've been sitting all day.

It's good for me to walk.

Sure, but it's a chance

to get to know each other.

- And show you round town.

- It won't take long, you know.

Come on, Miss America.

Just a quick ride to welcome you

to our beautiful town.

And this way,

they get to improve their English.

Lost?

I just think I missed a turn.

- Where do you live?

- Rue des Favorites.

Aah. That is miles away.

It'll be dark before you get home.

Open the door.

So?

Just a quick ride.

You're the boss.

Hey, we aren't leaving town, are we?

You have to see the leisure park where

everybody meets up at the weekend.

- Do you like swimming?

- Sure.

I got the feeling Miss America's

gonna knock 'em dead at the pool.

Woo!

- What are you guys doing?

- Just taking a little break.

Yeah, well, I think I should get home.

It's a little much for my first day.

Hey, relax.

It is just five minutes

to get to know each other better.

Oops.

Aah.

Get off! Get off! Get off!

Hey, boys,

if this is your approach to women,

you're not gonna get very far.

Girls are not some toys

that you f*** in the park.

OK? Your future depends on women.

Don't you care about your future?

So take care of them,

or else you're not gonna have one.

Hey.

Mom bought supplies

for the whole year.

- Did she find any peanut butter?

- You're joking.

Hey.

- Hi, honey.

- Hey.

How was your day?

Fine.

- Good.

Title and author.

A lot ofletters up there,

and a lot ofmoney to be made

for charity. Angie, you'll start.

Hi, Don Luchese.

You asked for some ice?

It's not him.

OK, OK, I'll keep looking.

Va bene.

How about your teachers?

What are they like?

- Pretty good.

- F***ing bad.

Warren, can you please avoid using

the word "f***" in every sentence?

- Sorry, Mom.

- We're not in Brooklyn anymore.

Your mother's right, son.

We're not in Brooklyn anymore.

In fact, I don't there is anywhere further

from Brooklyn than this f***ing rat hole.

I'll get it. Finish up

and help your mother clear the dishes.

- How was the first day?

- It was pretty good.

- Anything to report?

- Nothing... special, no.

Kids? School?

You know, they always

adjust better than we do.

- I heard you already met the neighbor.

- The guy on the left, yeah.

- What did you talk about?

- Nothing much, roses, mostly.

Roses, good.

You can talk for hours about roses.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking...

How about this for a profession,

a writer?

Writer, good.

It explains your sedentary nature.

- OK. Writer it is.

- But stick to simple subjects.

Airport novels, children's literature,

sh*t like that.

- A war novel, maybe?

- No.

Anything else?

They forgot the TV.

We can't find five boxes.

The mover drove his truck off the ditch,

broke the TV.

We ordered a new one, be here

this week. Boxes, I don't know.

- All right.

- Uh...

Mourad... Mourad, uh...

Benkassem. Guy had a little shop

down in Nice. You know?

Yeah, he was the guy that

sold the Italian produce to my wife.

He vanished two days ago.

You have any idea where he might be?

No. Why are you asking me?

'Cause you beat the sh*t out of him

two weeks ago,

and if I hadn't been there,

the guy would've died.

That "poor guy" tried to sell me

a dozen lobsters,

said they were fresh out of the ocean.

I cut into them,

they're frozen, rotten. Could have

killed me and my whole family.

What the hell do you want

with a dozen lobsters anyway, Fred?

I just pooled together

with some of the neighbors, that's all.

You're not allowed to make

any business deals, Freddy.

None. You remember that?

I was just trying to earn a little cash,

that's all.

What the hell for?

You're gonna go take a vacation?

So you don't know where Mourad's at?

No, but if you find him,

you can tell him for me

I'm not gonna pay

for those f***ing lobsters.

Try to fit in, will you, Freddy?

I'm getting tired of finding you

a new place to live every 90 days.

Can I rely on you to try?

Sure, as long as I can rely on you.

You know what's gonna happen to

you and your family when they find you?

You're here to make sure that don't

happen, right? I mean that's your job.

Try not to make my job impossible.

I gotta go.

I'll be back in a couple of days.

I'm going to leave you

Di Cicco and Mimmo.

Ooh...

I'm gonna sleep better now.

- Say hi to Maggie for me.

- Yeah, you bet.

- What did he say?

- Eh... The usual standard bullshit.

Djaramambo...

What kind of f***ing name is that?

Hey, Maggie.

- Hi, babe.

- Hello, hello.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Put them right there.

Listen, I'm gonna go

put this down there, OK?

Hi, guys.

- Get yourselves something to eat.

- OK.

Hey. I'm so glad you could make it.

Willy.

- Oh. Hey, what a party.

- Thank you.

Hey, babe.

How you doing?

Can I get you anything?

- Yeah, get me a scotch and water.

- OK.

Coming up.

Glad to see ya.

- Aah!

- What's wrong, honey? What?

No... in the yard in Brooklyn.

Oh.

I was dreamin' about...

Try not to think about it

or you won't get a wink of sleep.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

GIO VANNl:
If the story I'm going

to tell you didn't happen to me,

I'd never be able to make it up.

Of the version

Stansfield sold everybody,

I alone know

what's true and what isn't true.

But he's gotta keep his mouth shut,

in the line ofduty. It's different for me.

F*** the line ofduty.
