TONY Then screw you, stronzo!

(TONY storms out of the store)

FUSCO

(calling after him) TONY!

(BOBBY is waiting for TONY outside the store)

BOBBY

Tony, I don’t know if I want to marry Pauline, Tony.

TONY Marry Pauline? What the hell are you talkin’ about, Bobby? Jesus, you two are on and off more than Con Ed--so fine, don’t date her, don’t marry her, just don’t talk about her anymore! Christ!

BOBBY You don’t understand...I gotta marry her! Everyone says I gotta marry her.

TONY Gotta marry her? What do mean, you gotta marry her? Who says?

BOBBY Her friggin’ parents, my friggin’ parents, the friggin’ hot dog guy on the corner! Everyone, Tony! I’m paralyzed. I got no more control. I mean, you and me Tony, we’ve been--we’ve been friends a long time and you’re always together and I’m always screwing up and you’re always all right, you know?

(BOBBY stops him to make his point)

I gotta marry her, Tone. (beat)

TONY

(realizing) Oh, Jesus.

BOBBY And I gotta talk to you about it.

TONY Ok, come on--look everybody, eh...screws up, right? Really. Don’t worry about nothin’, ok? We’re gonna talk...but not right now, ok? I’m in a terrible rush. I mean--I hate to leave you like this.

(TONY puts his hand out...BOBBY looks at it and after a moment BOBBY reaches into his pocket, grabs his keys and hands them to TONY)

You got no idea how much I appreciate this, you know. This car is very important for me today, you know.

BOBBY Will you call me tonight?

TONY Yeah, I’ll call ya tonight. Don’t worry about nothin’, alright?

(TONY pats his face)

BOBBY You promise you’ll call me tonight?

TONY (as he is leaving)

Yeah.

BOBBY Hey Tony, we’ve been waitin’. What happened to ya?

TONY Seven Hail Marys and an Act of Contrition.

(TONY crosses himself) Hey Bobby, Pauline came by the store today. She was askin’ ‘bout ya.

GUS Jesus Christ, Bobby. I thought we told you how to handle that. It’s high school crap.

TONY What do ya know about high school? You barely finished the eighth grade.

BOBBY She’s been callin’ me all week...left seven messages with my mother, two with my father, and now you. Next, she’s gonna take an ad in the Pennysaver.

JOEY Madone!

BOBBY I just feel bad, you know.

(beat)

DOUBLE-J You feel? You feel, what? What the hell is that?

BOBBY I feel...you know, bad. I mean we grew up together.

JOEY No, Bobby, we grew up together. Us guys. She’s just a chick from the neighborhood.

GUS Bobby, we told ya...“It is what it is.”

BOBBY Yeah but...

DOUBLE-J Bobby. “It is...what it is.”

BOBBY Tony, what do you think? I mean, I trust what you say. Tony...you and I, we’re almost cousins.

TONY We’re Italian, Bobby...everybody’s our cousin.

BOBBY

Tony, come on, I’m serious.

TONY Alright, alright, listen...Pauline’s a good girl, a nice girl. But look at this place, Bobby. What do you see?

BOBBY A disco.

TONY A disco?

(he laughs and looks around at the FACES)

A disco. No, Bobby. This is not a disco. This? This is...hot...sweaty, mind-numbing groovin’. Where the most beautiful, most slammin’, most damn-fine women come. This is the hottest club in the coolest city on the face of the planet. The center of the universe, Bobby, just happened to land in Bay Ridge. Right here...right now. And they’ve all come...all these chicks have come for one reason...and one reason only.

(beat) To dance.

GUS, JOEY, TONY, DOUBLE-J I WANNA PUT ON MA MA MA MA MA BOOGIE SHOES

JUST TO BOOGIE WITH YOU

(convinced by the guys, BOBBY joins their dancing)

GUS, BOBBY, JOEY, TONY, DOUBLE-J I WANNA PUT ON

SCENE 11 WEDNESDAY MORNING--A BROOKLYN STREET

(we hear the sound of a truck pulling down the street...lights up on street...the FACES are playing stickball)

DOUBLE-J

Damn bread truck. He’s gotta drive right though our game, huh?

JOEY That’s all right, we’ll make sure we hit ‘em double in the mornin’.

BOBBY GAME ON! Hey, give me the ball.

GUS (entering with a brown deli delivery box)

Fresh bread and doughnuts!

(the GUYS grab the bread and start eating)

DOUBLE-J

I still can’t believe those dumb-asses just leave ‘em outside the deli door.

BOBBY I can’t believe you guys get up this early to swipe the bread delivery. You never got up this early for nothin’ in your whole life.

JOEY You don’t understand. This is no normal bread. We’re talkin’ Caputo’s fresh semolina...still warm.

DOUBLE-J It’s so good it’s like God gave birth in my mouth.

JOEY What the hell is wrong with you? That’s disgusting!

GUS Hey--did you see what the Yankees are gonna pay Jackson?

JOEY Yeah--I heard. My Pop’s all pissed off cause they’re paying him more than Piniella. Just another case of a paisan gettin’ screwed.

DOUBLE-J Piniella ain’t Italian.

JOEY What?!

DOUBLE-J No--he’s like Spanish or somethin’.

JOEY You know, you just ruined my entire day.

GUS If I had that type of money, I’d get myself a Mercedes, you know.

JOEY You’re never gonna get yourself a Mercedes...

#8 DOG-EAT-DOG ...those things cost too much money. You’ll never have that type of money.

DOUBLE-J Hey you...you know I’ve had you up to here, you. That’s your favorite speech!

JOEY You’re never gonna have that type of money in your whole life. Not you, not me, not anybody.
