A Bronx Tale Page #2

Synopsis: Gangster Sonny is the big man in the Bronx neighborhood of an Italian small boy named Calogero. A shooting witnessed by the boy (nicknamed C) is the starting point of a lasting bond between the gangster and the boy. Father (bus driver Lorenzo), however, disapproves. C grows up under the wing of both men, torn between his own natural honesty and his fascination with Sonny. C's neighborhood cronies get involved in theft, use of guns, and racial fights. When C falls for an African American girl, things don't get any easier. C's leap to manhood is marked by tragedy, but also by his recognition of the many faces of love.

The three of you!

I'll kick your f***ing asses,

you f***ing ball breakers!

Keep your hands off the vegetables!

What do you think this is?

Wait! Go make your mother

and father feed you!

I'll give you the heave-ho,

you f***ing ball breakers!

- How many did you get?

- I got one.

... stop borrowing money!

Oh, boy -

Coffeecake's in trouble again!

Somebody's gonna get their ass kicked.

Guys, check it out.

Mario, who's this?

That's Jimmy Whispers.

You'd better talk to him again.

You're responsible for him.

Whoa! Come on, wait a minute.

It's Sonny.

You do somebody now,

big mouth.

Do somebody hard,

like Coffeecake.

- I can't do Coffeecake!

- That's hard.

Put a screen in front of your

face while I throw sh*t at it.

Oh, sh*t.

These n*ggers got some balls,

coming in our neighbourhood.

They don't live here,

they just pass through from school.

- How the f*** do you know?

- My father told me.

My father told me

that's how it starts.

Get the f*** out of our neighbourhood,

you f***ing n*ggers!

Go back to Australia

where you came from!

You're lucky

you're on that bus!

Ha ha, you missed me!

Stay out of our neighbourhood!

Why?

You don't f***ing stop.

Get the f*** out of here!

Nobody's cooler than you, Sonny.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

What you doin'?

- F*** you, you freehole!

- F*** you, you scumbag!

You're a real motherf***er!

I'll bust your f***ing head!

I'm gonna bust your f***ing head!

Hold on here.

Sonny, give me the gun!

- Get the f***ing car!

- Move the f***ing car!

Come on!

When Sonny looked at me

for the first time, I went deaf.

I couldn't hear.

All I could see was Sonny

with the gun in his hand.

What happened?

Is he all right?

Dad, it was just

a parking space.

- You don't understand.

- Is he all right?

- Baby, are you OK?

- He's all right. Let's go inside.

- What happened?

- I'm OK, Mum, I'm OK.

- Oh, my god, I got so scared.

- I'm OK, Mum.

You don't understand, Dad.

They were fighting over a parking space.

- Over a parking space?

- Over a parking space, Daddy. Why?

It wasn't over a parking space.

They just met at the wrong time.

- What kind of answer is that?

- Just leave it alone.

Let's mind our own business.

He's OK. That's the main thing.

I can't believe somebody would do this.

Who is it?

Police. Is this

the Anello residence?

Yeah. Can I help you?

We're detectives.

We'd like to ask you some questions.

- About what?

- Just open the door!

How you doing? OK, good.

I'm Detective Belsik.

This is my partner, Detective Vella.

Hello, son. How you doing, ma'am?

- We'd like to ask your son a few questions.

- About what?

There was a shooting in front of the building,
