The Last Godfather Page #2

Good feeling!

Okay. I'm save you. Okay?

Okay, I got you.

- Vinnie?

- You okay?

You know you're not supposed

to be in the park alone.

- Nancy!

- Nancy?

Hey! Get out of here!

What are you doing, Younggu?

You can't leave him alone

for a second.

I told you to sit on the bench!

Hat.

Hat? You forgot your hat

again, didn't you?

You forget that hat again,

I'm gonna staple it to your head!

Come on!

You can't leave this guy alone!

Oh, I like Nancy.

Who? Nancy Bonfante?

Yes.

Don Bonfante's daughter?

Get outta here!

Nancy pretty.

Let me tell you something,

Younggu.

Nancy Bonfante is off limits.

She's trouble with a capital T.

She's a Bonfante,

and Carinis do not socialize

with Bonfantes.

Like Romeo and that broad.

It ain't never gonna happen.

She's the daughter of

your father's sworn enemy.

Here, Tony.

Pete pays us. For protection.

It's one of the many services we provide.

Immigrants such as yourself

come to this country with nothing,

and they all wanna grab

a slice of the American dream.

But who's gonna help them?

Huh? Banks? No.

Cops? Forget about it.

We're gonna help them,

but for a small weekly gratuity.

- You get it?

- I know.

That leprechaun, he's missed

two payments already.

Three and he's out.

Well, let's finish our pizza

and then we'll beat him until he tells us

where his pot of gold is.

Want some?

He's an animal.

I good choice.

So, I'm telling you, man,

I was like, bada-bing, bada-bang,

pop, pop, pow.

There was this other guy there.

Yeah, I lumped him up, too.

He was very heroic.

I do what I can.

My hero.

What were you doing in the park

by yourself, anyway?

I was coming back from volunteering

at the orphanage.

All the time at this orphanage.

And what is with

this volunteering, Nancy?

It's a waste of time.

I don't see it as wasting

my time, Daddy.

I like giving back.

Oh, really?

Nancy, you listen to me.

In this world, you don't give.

In this world, you take!

But those kids have nobody.

They're not supposed to have anybody.

They're orphans.

Vinnie, I guess I gotta thank you

for what you did for Nancy.

If anything had happened

to her, forget about it.

- Forget about it.

- Forget about it.

Yeah, forget about it.

That's what I said!

Did you get a look at the animal

who attacked her?

Yeah, it was one

of those Carini scums.

No. He didn't act like

he was part of an organization.

He was-

He's lucky I didn't put

an ice pick in his eye

and throw him in the river!

All right?

Those Carinis are animals!

I'd never let anything

happen to you, though.

You know that. Ever.

We can do this all day.

It's like Christmas in spring here.

I love the cold.

What the hell are you guys doin' here?

What's the matter with you?

This isn't what-

I told you to torture him not tickle him!

It wasn't my idea.

Not your idea! What,

you taking orders from him now?

I left you in charge!

The Younggu Carini.

Stop!

Oh! God bless you, Tony V!

Now flip him over!

All right. Here you go.

He likes Christmas carols.

All right. All right with the ice.

All right.

Okay, Younggu.

Now, the Carinis are all about

maintaining the order of things.

All right? We're like

the neighborhood watch.

One big, happy family.

And like any family,

sometimes you gotta send...

the ultimate message.

Capisce?

Quiche.

Quiche.

Stand him up.

Come on.

- No, no.

- Stay!

Don't move.

Tony, Don Carini's not gonna like this.

We're just supposed to rough this guy up.

Shut up, Macho. Okay.

How we gonna get our money

if the guy is dead?

Shut up, Macho. Okay.

I'm just saying.

You're just saying?

Now, listen to me,

you big gabone.

Don Carini wants him to take over

the family. Huh?

All right, so we gotta make sure

he's up for the job.

- It's a test.

- Oh, a test?

- Yes.

- I'm bad at tests.

Well, it's not your test.

Now shut your pie hole.

Okay, Younggu.

Now you gotta show me

that you can do it.

- Capisce?

- Quiche.

- Quiche.

- What shall I do?

Okay!

I'm getting tired of this.

Gimme this thing!

Tony, please.

This is a test, right?

I want my money!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Don Carini.

I'd like a word with you in private.

Later, Tony.

I wanna talk to Younggu

about the future.

Yeah, well, that's the thing.

I think we should have

a conversation, too.

Not now.

I wanna spend time with my boy.

- Younggu, my son.

- My father.

I thought you always worked

the garden with Don Carini.

Apparently not.

But the tomatoes, that was your thing

with Don Carini, right?

Yeah. Well, now it's Younggu's thing.

No!

Cow shi-poo.

It don't seem right.

Don Carini has you working the soil,

sowing the seeds, irrigating.

It's like those are your tomatoes.

Yeah. Well, now they're

Younggu's tomatoes.

No! Poo-poo.

Go figure.

He eats the tomato you nurtured.

Nobody's gonna be eating any tomatoes

if that idiot takes over the family.

Well, that's a shame,

'cause those are beefsteak tomatoes.

Will you forget about the tomatoes?!

It's not about the tomatoes!

If this guy takes over the family,

we're finished!

We gotta save the family!

And the tomatoes.

We gotta save Don Carini

from his own good intentions.

You ain't saying

what I think you're saying.

I don't know what you're thinking,

but if you say tomatoes

one more time,

I'm gonna put two bullets

in your squash.

That's zucchini.

I'm surrounded by morons.

Squash.

Hi-ho, Silver!

A fiery horse

with the speed of light.

A cloud of dust

and a hearty hi-ho, Silver.

The Lone Ranger.

What, are you watching TV?

Come on, that's the Lone Ranger.

The guy's unbelievable.

Don't forget about his trusted

Indian sidekick, Tonto.

Tonto.

That's like us, Vinnie.

We're your Tonto.

That's what worries me

about youse two.

You can't do anything right.

You're supposed to make me

look good in Nancy's eyes,

but instead, you chase her

for three blocks

and you get beat up in the park

by some bozo.

That other guy,

I saw him walking away

with Tony V and Macho.

You sure?

Yeah. He was with the Carinis.

That must be Don Carini's son.

That makes perfect sense.

So, like, you ain't mad at me no more-

Shut up!

You left him alone?

We had a little business

to take care of.

You left him alone.

Yes, Don, yes.

And for that, I truly apologize.

But there's something

bigger going on here.

It's something we can't ignore.

And that would be?

These are mean streets.

Not everybody's cut out

for our line of work.

I mean, to survive in this game

you gotta have endurance,

discipline, strength.

You gotta know how

to take care of yourself.

And I think it's pretty obvious

that Younggu is a little lacking,

you know, in these arenas.

You're right.

He is a little soft.

Grew up without a father.

I can't deny the truth.

I know what we must do.

I'm sure this must be hard.

Not really.

You need to teach him

how to fight like a man.

What?

Anthony, if he is going to survive,

he needs to learn how to fight.

Who better to teach him than you?
