Day, interior. Janice is walking into a church. She is in the foyer of
the church. Bulliten borads and such adorn the walls. She is aimlessly walking
about reading the info on some brouchures. Enter Priest into the room.
Priest:
Can I help you?
Janice:
Hello father. I'm just looking at some of the religious information you have here.
Priest: (he chuckles)
I'm not a preist, so you don't have to call me father. My name is Brother Micheal. I help out around the church.
Janice:
Oh, I'm so sorry I'm so disrespectful. Nice to meet you brother Micheal. My name is Janice:. I recently have brought God back into my life.
Brother Mike:
Well, Janice, I'm glad to hear that. God can do wonderful things if some people just let him into there hearts a little more.
Janice:
Oh, I agree. Just recently I 've been through some things that made me realize I should let him back in. My mother, oh such a sweet thing, just passed away. My finace died several months ago.Things I think he wouldn't approve of. I feel, I can help others. You know?
Brother Mike:
Oh, dear. I'm very sorry for your losses.
Janice:
Thank you. I had a disagreement with a friend over some old records. I mean geez, how stupid does that sound.
Brother Mike:
People diasgree all the time. About all things. Just the other day I was aruging with the Reverend. We were discussing what was better, a bingo or Monte Carlo might.
Janice:
Oh, I argue with my brother all the time. He thinks he knows everything.
Brother Mike:
So what were you looking for? Anything in particular?
Janice:
Well. (looking at bulliten boards) I don't know where to start. (she smiles)
Brother Mike:
Start at the beginning. (he smiles)
They stand next to each other and look at the bulliten boards. Fade out.

Early morning. Soprano's kitchen. Tony is sitting at kitchen table in bathrobe and slippers eating a large bowl of Cheerio's. He winces as he chews. Anthony Jr. comes downstairs wearing his football jersey. He goes into fridge to get some juice as Tony looks at him and smiles.
Tony:
Make sure to eat a good lunch and drink plenty of water before your game today. AJ?
AJ:
I know dad. Are you gonna come to the game?
Tony:
I gotta be at the office but I could sneak away and probably catch the second half. Why you askin? You not want me to come or what?
AJ:
No. Just wanting to know if you were gonna show up that's all?
(AJ drops the carton of Orange Juice on the floor as he puts back into the fridge)
Tony rolls his eyes. AJ stands as juice continues to puddle on the floor.
Tony:
Well don't just stand there mutton head. Get a rag or mop and clean dat up! You have the hand eye coordination blow up a million spaceships on your Nintendo everyday, but you can't hold onto a bottle of juice.
Tony gets up and walks out of the kitchen disgusted. AJ gets a towel and begins to clean up his mess. The phone rings and Tony answers it.
Tony: (angrily)
Hello!
Silvio:
It's me, come down to da Bing. Me and Gigi need to talk to you.
Tony: (looks at wristwatch)
I'll be there in 15 minutes. Let me get dressed.
Tony hangs up the phone as Carmela comes down the stairs and sees AJ cleaning up the juice from the floor and looks over at Tony and sees the anger in his face.
Tony:
I gotta go. Make sure to call the dentist for me. That cavity I got is still killing me and wanna see him as soon as possible. I couldn't even chew my fuckin Cheerios this morning it hurt so bad.
Carmela:
Mm-hmm
Carmela looks over at AJ as he sops up last of the juice and notices he used the guest bathroom towel to clean up the juice. She shakes her head. Tony goes upstairs to change.

Silvio:
Ay Tone. What's the good word today?
Tony:
Blow Job! What's goin on you need to call me and come down here so early for?
Silvio looks over at Gigi and shakes his head to him. Gigi nods as he scratches his forehead. Tony looks perplexed at both of them.
Gigi:
We just got word from a reliable source that Ralphie is tryin to raise a ruckus for that beating you gave him a couple of weeks ago!
Silvio:
Cocksucker's been all over town dropping names to people to see who's loyal.
Tony:
And?
Gigi:
Sack called me this morning to let me know what was going on. The only real problem is that Ralphie is a good earner. We'll have to get somebody to take over his garbage routes.
Tony:
I'll worry about that once dis thing with Ralphie is done. Also did you get that money to Trace's mom and kid like I asked?
Silvio:
Yeah! I'm gonna get my Ziti back from Ralphie too before he gets dumped, that motherfucker. That's the last time I loan some broad money to get her grill fixed.
Gigi and Tony laugh at Silvio

Scene 4
Fade In.
Twilight. High school football field. Overhead shot of the players on the field. Cheerleaders and fans in the bleachers are cheering for the game. The referee's whistle blows as the two teams break from their huddles. The visiting team's quarterback is calling out a play. Scan to AJ on football field. His uniform is dirty, his eyes are darting across the field to the quarterback. The ball is snapped and AJ spins around the lineman as the quarterback fakes a handoff and drops back to pass.
(Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" begins playing)
AJ hits the QB from behind sacking him for a 5 yard loss. The crowd yells, as his teamates hi five him and slap him on the back. The referees whistle blows again as a timeout is called. AJ heads for the sideline.
Scan to Tony and Paulie siting in the stands. Both men are smiling and yelling and cheering excitedly.
Tony:
Did you see him take that son of a bitch down?
Paulie:
Yeah, a regular Dick Butkis that kid is. I never knew he had it in him Tony. Christ he's fast. What is that? 3 sacks and one interception now for the game?
(Paulie looks at his hands as if they are dirty)
Tony:
He's definitely causing some shit out there. (cups his hands to his mouth and yells out)
All right AJ, that's the way, good hit, good hit.
Scan to opposite teams bench. The coach is yelling at his players for their poor play.
Coach:
Do you guys wanna block 96 today or what? He's killin us out there, killing us. If he gets one more sack today I swear to God you linemen are gonna be running on Monday till you puke, do you understand?
Tony sees the coach yelling at his players and beams with pride. The refs whistle blows again ending the timeout and the teams go back onto the field to continue playing. AJ looks into the bleachers and sees his father give him a thumbs up sign. He see's Paulie slap his dad on the back and cheer as well. AJ lines up across center as the QB again calls out a play.
AJ: (staring at QB)
I'm coming again asshole! Be ready.
The QB barks out his signala and the ball is snapped. The QB fades back to pass again. AJ breaks through his blocker and has a bead on the QB and realizes that they called a screen play, he back tracks to the RB and hits him just as he catches the ball. He knocks the RB out of bounds and into his own coach. Again the crowd cheers as Tony and Paulie are slapping each other around like little kids. AJ gets up from the tackle and heads back to the huddle.
Tony: (clapping)
Nice play.
Paulie: (chuckles)
Good fucking hit. (he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a towelete)
Tony: (looking at Paulie)
What the fuck is it with you and this shit?
Paulie:
Fucking germs all over. If those hard-on feds don't get me, the fucking germs will.
Tony:
Whatever.

He applies the brakes and begins to park the truck on the side of the street. The truck starts to slide to the right. Unable to stop it from sliding the Driver turns the wheel to the left. The truck doesnt turn because of its slide. It jumps the curb, and strikes a male pedestrian walking along the sidewalk. The truck comes to a rest about 20 feet away. Passers-by quickly run to the scene and see what has happened. The that was hit lies motionless. The crowd starts to form. Several people are on cell phones.

Man:
Somebody call an ambulance.

Fuck, I couldn't stop! I didn't do nothing wrong! The rain! The truck, it slid. I.....I...I tried to steer away but the truck wouldn't........

Night, interior Tony and Carm's bedroom. They are laying on there backs under the covers staring at the ceiling.
Tony:
What a fucking day. I'll tell you.
Carm:
Why. What happened?
Tony: (laughing)
Another accident at Barone Sanitation. One of our Drivers ran over some dipshit on the sidewalk.
Carm:
Oh my god! Did anyone get hurt?
Tony: (disgusted)
What did i just say? He ran the poor fucking slob over. Guy's dead!
Carm:
Dead! Jesus Tony. What kind of assholes do you have working there anyway?
Tony:
The guy driving has a clean record! No drugs, no drinking, doesn't beat his wife! The truck slid off the road, it was wet. It was an accident these thigns happen. Poor guy thinks hes going to jail. (sigh) All this shit. Uh, fuck it.
Carm:
Thats the second accident this week isn't it? I swear Tony you need to be careful of the people you hire. Shit like this keeps happening, we are gonna have lawyers up our asses, taking our nice things. Liabilties, Tony, Liabilities.
Tony:
Yea, God forbid you live one day without your crown. Don't you think I know this shit about lawyers. Fuck, come on Carm, Jesus Christ!
Carm:
Well, just think of that poor Driver, he must feel terrible, poor man.
Tony:
No shit, if I ran over someone with a 12 ton garbage truck I'd have problems sleeping too.
Carm:
I wonder if he isn't hiding something.You know, I've been thinking, people aren't always what they seem. Secrets, people and their dirty laundry. I tell you there would be a lot less stress in this world if everyone could just be honest like the Lord intended.
Tony:
He ain't hiding nothing. If he was i'd know about. If he was smart he would have said something.
Carm:
Well, you know, you can know a person for years and never have any clue about those skeletons in their closets. So sad.
Tony:
Yea, boo-fucking-hoo. (he turns to Carm) Someone in our family is, well, I wouldn't say hiding something, but told me not to tell others.
Carm: (a little panicky)
Family? What do you mean? Our family?
Tony: (sigh)
Uncle Jun told me he has cancer. I know you want him dead anyway so what does it fucking matter. DOn't tell a soul I told you!!
Carm:
My God Tony, that man will tell you anything for attention. You are so blind if you believe him. Please!
Tony:
The guy has fucking cancer!! A buddy of mine(meaning bacala) who visits him is telling me Jun is having all kinds of conniptions throughout the house.
Carm:
We'll see. Maybe I can get Father Phil over to him. Give him some guidance. Maybe he can be a good catholic for once.
Tony: (chuckle)
He needs the fucking pope.

Scene 9
Fade In.
Melfi:
Thank you for coming in today Carmela. Does Tony know?
Carm:
Yeah, well, anything to help (smiling)
Melfi: (laughing)
OK, I know your frustrated. We isolated his attacks.
Carm:
What do you think that me coming here and talking to you alone will accomplish?
Melfi:
I was hoping that you d feel a little more comfortable in opening up with me about your husbadn. Since hes not here you may feel a little more secure in speaking about him.
Carm:
Well, what do you want to know? What kind of things can I tell you that will cause the revelation you are looking for?
Melfi:
Why is it that you're so mean to him. Where does this anger come from. Is it his job? the life he leads?
Carm:
Maybe. The women he sleeps with. That makes me very upset. I never see him, he is always gone. His friends are more important to him than us, his family.
Melfi:
Carmela, why do u allow it? Why do u let him hurt you?
Carm:
He is my husband. Those vows we took. Those mean something. I promised to love and obey him forever in front of God. What else am I supposed to do?
Melfi:
He broke his vows. You know the life he leads. To some extent you approve of it. You live off the money he brings home. No questions asked right? Is the hostility you project towards him come from the fact that you 'd rather see him do something else?
Carm:
Well, his life is danger everyday. You don't think that I see him walk out that door knowing damn well that it could be the last time. Someone gets pissed at him, (snapping fingers) I am a widow, just like that. What do I tell my children? How would i support them. It's so fucking unfair. Why can't he have a normal job. When I was young it was exciting. Now, it's all bullshit.
Melfi:
What do you want now?
Carm:
I don't know what i want. i only know what pisses me off. And lately it seems that i am pissed all the time.
Melfi:
I see. (pause) Is the rest of your family affected by Tonys attacks? How are they dealing wtih it?
Carm:
It doesn't seem to affect anything, i think we are starting to get used to them.
Melfi:
how is Tony dealing with his mothers death?
Carm:
He isn't, he says nothing about it. But at times I do sense grief. Extreme grief. But he won't discuss it.
Melfi:
He holds it in. He has to learn to express himself better. Its more healthy to do these things. I want you to try and discuss it wtih him agian. See what he does, how he reacts.
Carm:
Okay, I can do that.
Melfi:
Good, thank you.
Carm:
And if it doesn't work then you can discuss it with him and see him (does fingers as quotation marks) react.
Melfi:
Of course.

Mid afternoon. Carmela is in town shopping for art supplies at the mall. She is trying to decide on which paint brushes to get, and drops a sketch pad on the floor. She bends down to pick it up and here's someone calling her name. She looks up the aisle and recognizes the voice of her tennis instructor.
Instuctor:
Hi Carmela. How are you?
Carm: (putting on best civil and friendly face)
Good and you?
Instuctor:
Good. You haven't been to your lessons the last few weeks. Is anything wrong?
Carm:
No, just been busy with stuff and the kids. I'm taking an art class at the community college too so I....
Instuctor: (cutting her off)
Well that's good. Whatever keeps you busy. Hey listen, do you know if Adrianna was still interested in taking any more lessons?
Carm:
I'm not sure, why do you ask?
Instuctor:
Oh no reason..it's just that I thought she had talent and that she might want to keep up with it that's all. Plus it's great exercise and I'd hate to see a body like that just sitting still. Hey, if you see her, can you tell her to give me a call and maybe we can set something up to keep her lessons going. Don't want to start a hobby and then quit you know.
Carm: (smiling sheepishly)
Yeah! Don't want to do that!
Instuctor:
Well it was great seeing you again. Good luck with your art class, and don't forget to tell Adriana I said hello.
Carm: (sarcastically)
Oh honey I won't. Buh bye!!
Carmela watches her walk off as she shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
Carm: (under her breath)
Skank!
Scene 11
Fade In.
Dr. Melfi's office. ony is sitting down. He is smiling at Dr. Melfi.
Melfi:
You seem to be in good spirits today. Any particular reason?
Tony: (shrugs his shoulders)
It's my son.
Melfi:
And what brought on this sudden pride?
Tony:
Football. He is playing football for his high school team. I watched him play last Friday. The kid was an animal. You shoulda seen him. He was all over the place. All that kid did for the first 13 years of his life was bitch and moan and play his goddamn Nintendo. I always thought he would be too soft to play football but the kid's a natural.
Melfi:
Do you see his football as a bond between you two? You watched his aggression on the field and did that make you feel that he is like you in many ways? That his masculinity and the fact excels at something that you like, makes you feel he is more like you than you thought before.
Tony:
Yeah. I mean...He is a better player at his age than I ever was. I had the brain for the game, but his instincts are like he's fucking Kreskin or something. It's like he knows what's gonna happen before the play starts. I was always proud of my daughter for getting into college. But this is different. Maybe if AJ keeps it up he can get a football scholarship you know. Keep him away from trouble.
Melfi:
It's good that you want him to excel at something that you enjoy, Mr. Soprano. However, don't make his playing football be the only thing that matters to you in your relationship with him. He may rebel against you because of that.
Tony shrugs. He looks at Dr. Melfi more closely. She crosses her legs uncomfortably, and adjusts her glasses.
Tony:
It looks like you healed pretty good from your car accident. You get any money from the guy that hit you?
Melfi: (uncomfortably shifts in her seat)
Uhh.the uh insurance companies are handling all that thanks for asking.
Tony pauses and looks at her. Knowing the lie she told him regarding her rape and the reasons for it.
Tony:
Yeah. Insurance companies can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Me. I like to take care of things differently when it comes to matters. The fewer people involved, the better.
Melfi: (trying to change the subject)
Mr. Soprano, if we could, I'd like to further go into your relationship with your son as it seems to have struck an emotional cord with you that may further help to determine your anxiety and...
Tony: (cutting her off)
Yeah. I hate insurance companies. Bunch of leeches if you ask me. You pay them money every month for an accident you don't get into. God forbid you miss a payment and they're all over you. Me? I like to take matters into my own hands
Melfi: (choking voice)
I think our time is up, Mr. Soprano

Scene 12
Carmela is home alone. Knock on door. Father Phil is standing at the door.
Carm:
Father Phil. Hello. (smiling)
Father Phil:
Hi Carmela. I came as soon as you called. (smiling)
Carm:
Thank you. I really appreciate you coming on short notice like this. It's very sweet of you. (leading him into through the kitchen to the couch)
Father Phil:
Oh no problem. I could tell by your voice you needed someone to lean on. Everything ok? (he sits down)
Carm:
No. Not really. Can I get you anything? Something to drink?
Father Phil:
No thank you I'm fine. How can I help today?
Carm:
Well, we have a situation. A sickness on Tony's side of the family. A potentially terminal sickness and we need your guidance Father. We need you to reach out to this person.
Father Phil:
Oh Carmela. I had no idea. I will surely offer the best possible guidence and prayer for you and your family.
Carm:
I know. You have always been here for us Father, I don't know what we would do without you (voice cracks, tears well up as Carm grabs a tissue from the box on the table)
Father Phil:
Ohhhh Carmela. My parishners are the most important aspect of my service. (he rubs her back gently) You know I'm always here for you. You were such a big help to me last week. I'll never forget that Carmela ( he grabs her arm) Look at me. ( she looks up at Father Phil) I....don't want you to feel so helpless. I know your life is difficult. I sense it. I can feel it. Let me be your rock.
Carm:
Yes.....(Carm puts her head on Father Phil's shoulder and begins sobbing)
Father Phil:
(Tapping her head)
Shhhhh...its ok... I know there is pain... I know it's there.... Tell me more... I want to help you. I want you to see the light again....and feel free.
Carm:
Junior... you know, Corrado, he has cancer... stomach cancer... Tony.... he....he seems very upset....but....he doesn't talk to me.........and.......damn......his mother........now his uncle.......i don't need any more walls around that man...........
Father Phil:
I'm sorry to hear about that... I'll pray for him.
Carm:
I went to a.....a.....a therapist....he said I should leave Tony....(sobbing again)
Father Phil:
You went where? (suprised) He told you to leave your husband? You're not taking him seriously I hope. Carmela you know your bonded by the vows of marriage. Remember?
Carm:
Yes...but... oh he said some awful things.... he said I need to get out... take the children and go.........he isn't catholic.......I don't think he realizes what he is telling me to do........
Father Phil: (takes a deep breath)
Ok.....Geez that's extreme. (rubbing her back) I don't think he realizes it either. I know you love Tony. You have been put through many crucibles in your marriage. I've seen it. I know you can reach down and find that strength. Find the beautiful things that marriage continually offers. I'll help you reach down. I want to reach with you. Ok? (Carmela looks up at Father Phil. They touch foreheads together)
Silence
Carm: (Carm pulls away, trying to compose herself)
Um, I, um, I asked you to come over because we need you to go to Junior and consult him. Help him through his time of need. Could you do that Father?
Father Phil: (he swallows hard)
Of course. Yes, anything for you. I'm concerned for you Carmela. I want for you to be only happy. I can't bear to see you so sad. You have such a vibrant personality. You light up a room. (he laughs) Please....in the end, you know whats best for you.
Carm:
Yes. If you do this for me. It will be best. I have to go, I have to pick up Anthony Jr. from football practice.
Father Phil:
Let's pray again....you bring out the best prayer in me... let us pray for strength Carmela.
Carm:
Alright.
(Carm and Father Phil kneel next to the fireplace)
Father Phil: (making signs of the cross)
Dear lord..We kneel before you again asking for your guidance. Our lives have brought us to this point. We seek your strength, your warmth and passion to overcome. Temptations are bred everyday. They are our weaknesses. Lord...........reach out and guide us. Instill your thought in our spirits. Show us the path, and we will follow your ways, follow your direction, and seek forgivness when we stumble. Amen.
Carm:
Amen.

Nighttime. Soprano home. At the table eating are Tony, Carmela, and AJ. They are silent. We see Tony glance several times at AJ as he is pushing around his food with his fork.
Tony:
Make sure you eat up AJ. Gotta keep up your strength for making those sacks. Carm, did you know we gotta friggin football genius on our hands here. (leaning over and ruffling AJ's hair, smiling. AJ is visually agrivated)
Carm: (acting over excited)
Really! Well good for you honey. I'm proud of you.
AJ:
Dad, I don't know if I want to keep playing and stuff.
Tony:
What? Of course you do. Now shut up and eat your vegetables, before I take you outside and show you what a real tackle feels like(smiling).
AJ:
Dad. I mean it. Bonnie doesn't like it. She says it's too violent. She thinks it represents a mans agression toward weakness.
Tony: (pointing his finger in AJ's face)
Now you listen to me. You are playing football. I don't give a shit what that little bitch says. You and your goddamn sister! Jesus!When the hell did you two stop listening to your parents! I am so sick of this shit. If you enjoy the lifestyle you have now, you will keep playing football.

No!

As Rossi approaches Ralphie, from behind him comes two goons. They grab him by both arms. One guy whacks him over the head with a gun. The quickly shuttle him into the truck. Ralphie gets in the Drivers seat. They drive away. Tires screeching and smoking.
Ralphie: (inside truck)
Make sure that fucker don't puke in my truck.
Goon 1:
Ok.
After several shots of the truck driving around they arrive at a small house, in a suburban area. Easily spied as lower-middle class. The three of them go in. The goons are dragging Rossi along. In the basement of the house they seat Rossi on a wooden chair. They tie his hands behind his back.
Jesus:
What the fuck are you doing? What is going on? Where am I?
Ralphie: (sighs)
What kind of asshole mother and father do you have? (laughs) What balls they got!! Naming a douche bag like you after the son of God.
Jesus:
Fuck you. You know its pronounced differently.
Ralphie:
Whatever.
Ralphie winds back and punches Rossi in the face.
Jesus Moans. The goons laugh.
Ralphie: (to goons)
Did you see that? I still got that hook, huh? Ha ha!
He punches him again. Rossi slumps over to the side.
Ralphie:
Come on now man. Back up. (he pushes Rossi back up)
He looks at Rossi and sighs.
Ralphie:
You know I saw that Gladiator movie. I'm very fond of warriors, you know, men of courage. Men that......(he pauses looks up into the cieling and back down toward Rossi)..must fight to live. Nothing recreation. If they don't fight, they will die. So it's pretty much a no-brainer. Yea there were a few gruesome scenes. Did you happen to catch this movie?
Jesus:
Fuck you!! Why are you doing this? What the fuck is going on? Let me go please. I'll pay you.
Ralphie and the goons laugh.
Ralphie: (laughing)
Yeah, yeah....whatever. Another favorite movie of mine, oh and this is a classic, Scarface!! Ha, it's about your people toast boy. I'm sure you saw it.
Jesus:
Fuck you, I'm not cuban asswipe.
A goon from behind slaps him on the head.
Ralphie:
You're all the same. You all come from the fields. With your dirty hands and long hair.
Jesus: (frustrated)
What the fuck man!?! (starting to cry) What's going on?? Let me go!!!!! Who are you?! Who the fuck are you doing this to me!?! (sobbing)
Ralphie:
OK. (sighs) You see you been a bad boy recently. So I hear. You did something very naughty to a very nice person that you shouldn't have. So now you gotta face the music.
Jesus:
What are you talking about? I didn't do shit! Fuck! Let me go! (sobbing)
Ralphie:
Listen, I'm not one to go into details. I don't give a fuck. I got a job to do. You had your fun. I hope it was good.
Jesus looks up at Ralphie. Ralphies got a big obnoxious smile on his face.
Ralphie:
Anyway.....back to work......I was saying how much I enjoyed that movie Scarface. You know, the one with Pacino. Good old Al made out to be a nice spick like yourself here.
Rossi whimpers.
Ralphie:
There was one scene in particular that sticks to memory. Can you guess it?
Rossi spits at, but misses Ralphie
Ralphie:
No? Hmmmmmm......it was that scene in the hotel with the chainsaw. Remember that? He threatened to chop up the dude. Man talk about a fucked up business. It gets hazardous.
Goon 2:
Hey, how long is this gonna take?
Ralphie:(to goon)
You got some place to be ?
Goon 2:
No.
Ralphie:
Then shut the fuck up. Watch and maybe you'll learn something for a fucking change.
(talking to Rossi) Now I also liked the scene from the Godfather. Another great Pacino movie. The one part I liked sonny boy, is the christening of his nephew. He has all the bosses of all the familes rubbbbbbbed (shakes his cheeks for humor) out! Haha!! The names.....Christ I love the names in that movie.....Umm Moe Greene...aww man how can you not hear that name and think of about that guy with the funny glasses.
Jesus:
Fuck you. Let me go please.
Ralphie:
SHHHHH (holding finger up at Rossi) I'm thinking of the other names. (he smiles)
Goon 1:
There was a Barzini.
Ralphie:
Yes!! Barzini! Another fuckin' great name. And Tataglia was a great name too. Oh man who has that fat peice of shit?? Reminds me of that beached fuckin' whale Bobby Bacala?
Goon 2:
Clemenza?
Ralphie:
Yes! The one eating the cannoilis. Always feeding his fat face. Oh man, good movie, good names. (a long pause) Well as I was saying Mr. Jesus, I liked the killing scenes. It's time for me to finish up with you. I gotta be someplace soon. So without further ado.
Ralphie steps out of the light and disappears into the corner of the basement. The two goons are still standing beside Rossi. Ralphie returns holding a chainsaw. He plays with a switch, and starts the motor on the saw by pulling the rope. He revs the saw in front of Rossi. A puddle begins to form underneath the chair where Rossi is sitting. He pissed his pants. A smile is now on Ralphies face as he brings the chainsaw, reving loudly and chain spinning furiously, toward Rossi's shoulder. The goons standing along side move around behind Ralphie. Just as the saw is about to touch Rossi, he abruptly shuts it off.
Ralphie:
You know, this is going to be messy. Hmmm ( he looks down) You pissed yourself you dickhead. (chuckles)
He reaches into his waist and pulls out a handgun.
Ralphie: (to Rossi)
I'm gonna give you what Al Pacino gave Moe Greene. Right in the eye.
Ralphie raises the gun to Rossi's head. Pointing it at his eye. Rossi is frozen with fear. Two shots ring out. Startled and confused Ralphie turns around. Another shot rings out. After the shot is heard, we cut to Rossi. He is splattered with blood and skull particles. Ralphies body falls to the ground. Another shot is heard. Jesus Rossi is shot in the head. Blood pours out and he slumps forward in the chair. Stepping out of the darkness, smoking a ciggarette, is Geo the Mason.

Scene 17
Daytime.
Exterior. Tony and Furio are in line at an outdoor burger place waiting to order.
Tony:
What I am saying is that when you're out there, on the course, just you and that fuckin ball, there's a lot of stuff that can mess you up, like a slight pick up in the wind, or if you don't hold your club right, if your stance is fucked up, or even if your just in a bad fuckin mood, that ball, it will beat you. (pointing at furio) It's a game of skill and patience. You should try it. I'll let you carry my bag. (grabbing himself and laughing)
Furio:
Who says I want to try dat focking game? Is for pussies. Look what you wearing when you playing dat. You can't go out der looking good like dis. (holds out his hands and shrugs)
Tony: (smiling)
Go fuck yourself! (punches furio in the arm)
Furio:
You wanna play a real game. You try Socca. American's call it dat for God know's what fockin reason. It's Futball!!(smiling back) When I was in High School back in duh day I played center. Maddon, I run all those pussies over. I score many times and git plenty of blow jobs between halfs. I sneak under the crowd and have my addias short pants around ankles.
Tony:
No shit? You don't say.
Furio:
I say! I wasa top prospect for Italian Premiere Leauge. I cudda been a pro, making millions.
Tony:
What do you think of Pele'?
Furio:
Ahhhh, fuck dat black bastard. He biggest pussy of all. Is almost our turn.
Tony steps forward, movement catches his eye and he sees a black teenager sitting at a table resembling Noah and eating a triple cheeseburger. Camera cuts to Tony's point of view. It goes in and out of focus as it stays on the kid. Cut to Tony's face. He wavers on his feet a bit. He turns his head to look directly at another table, a black police officer is seated there eating a steak sandwich. Cut to Tony's point of view. More out of focus, very blurry. Cut to Tony's face. His eyelids flutter.
Furio:
Hey, Tony, Tony, you okay?
Tony looks from the kid to the police officer, eyelids flutter and he staggers and then passes out, falling and hitting the pavement.
