Want some gum?

Yo, did you really take

a sh*t in there?

What is wrong with you?

You smell

like open ass, man.

Hey!

Hey, old b*tch.

Hey, hey.

Hey, put your ass here.

Go ahead.

Nice dress.

F***in' looking

like a cheetah.

Clean that sh*t up!

What?

F***er!

What the f***

is wrong with you, man?

Clean your sh*t up

and tell him to f*** off!

Police'll be here

in five minutes.

Antonio, come on.

No, no, no, no.

Wait, wait.

Open the door, man.

Hey, come on,

open the f***in' door!

Yo, meet me

at the park, alright?

Meet me at the park.

You f***er.

You better f***in' flinch.

You're the new kid

from my class, right?

From Ireland.

Scotland.

We came and lived

in Manhattan for a bit

but now, yeah.

F***ing crazy there, right?

I'm Dito.

I'm, uh, I'm Dito.

Mick.

Uhm, Mike.

Mick.

Uhm, Mike.

And then Giuseppe was the kid

climbing on the window.

The church, the roof.

My friend, he was running naked

on the-- you remember that?

On the roof?

He was funny.

Where you going?

Just got bored,

you know?

Kind of ride

the subway around.

Back and forth,

and back and forth.

And back and forth.

Back and forth.

Stupid thing.

Just back and forth?

Yeah.

I was gonna ride it

to Coney Island or something.

Go there

and I don't know,

ride back.

I was thinking about going

to Coney Island, you know.

Yeah, 'cause I've never been.

You've never been?

No. I went to the zoo once

but that was like

in the Bronx or something.

It's not really--

That's not traveling.

It sucks, too.

There's nothing really there.

What are you looking at?

That dot.

Close one eye like this.

Fly right over it.

Oh, sh*t.

I got it.

You want China?

That's what they got

Chinatown for.

You want Italy?

You go to Georgie.

Where's the Italians they go?

Mulberry Street.

Little Italy.

Wanna go to Puerto Rico?

Go uptown. There's

Puerto Ricans everywhere.

You know what Antonio

just told me?

That there's wild dogs

in Italy, right?

Who needs that?

Not me.

I don't wanna be there.

How are you?

Nice seeing you.

Uncle George,

how you doing?

I'm just boiling.

It's summertime.

That's why you're boiling.

You want some juice?

Where you been?

I was in Coney Island.

What were you doing there?

I was on the train.

I meet up with this guy

from school.

This Mike kid.

He's from Ireland.

Like from the country Ireland.

He was telling me about

how he wants to do some music,

like a band or something.

You just went

to Coney Island.

Is it just me

or it's 100 degrees

in this house?

It's summer.

That's why it's hot.

Right, Antonio?

Yeah.

It's summer.

It's, summer, baby.

It's hot.

What can I tell you?
