Back in the Day Page #3

Synopsis: Set in both the late 80's and current day, "Back in the Day" is a gritty tale about Anthony Rodriguez (William DeMeo), a half Italian - half Puerto Rican young teenager growing up on the streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn; a then very dangerous and racist neighborhood filled with bullies, big shots and social clubs where all of the neighborhood shots were called. Anthony had to endure an abusive, unemployed, alcoholic father but was blessed with a nurturing, hard-working mother who he loses at a very early age and is devastated by it. In spite of his bitterness, he struggles to uphold the morals his Mother taught him and retain his dignity in spite of being up against all odds. He is taken under the wing of a local mob boss, Enzo DeVino (Michael Madsen), who supports Anthony's wishes to escape his demons through the sport of boxing.

That's what he told me.

You broke the coffee table,

you broke I don't know

what else in there

and I have to pay for it

or he's gonna call the police

on you and your stupid friend.

Matt is not stupid.

He was just protecting me.

Mr. Volpe

called me a spic.

Oh, Anthony, come on!

You know we've been talking about

this since you were five-years-old.

People are ignorant.

Walk away from that.

They're gonna look

for a reaction from you.

Don't give it to them.

I love you so much,

but you've really

disappointed me.

Mary...

Where were you?

I was at work.

Where do you think I was?

Don't give me no lip!

And... and stop

babying this kid.

He's not a kid, he's our son.

Our son?

He ain't nothing like me.

He's gonna be like one of of

these goombahs around here.

Come on,

don't say that. Ooh.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm... I'm gonna go

get more beers.

Uh...

See you in the bed

when I come back.

I never thought

I would say this,

but I'm really starting

to hate my own father.

He's in a really bad place

right now.

He needs our help.

He don't want help.

And it's only getting worse.

I will get him to stop drinking.

This will get better.

The neighborhood

is going to explode.

So let's try to keep a little

peace in the house, okay?

We will walk where we want.

This is Lauren Freeman.

We're here in Bensonhurst,

Brooklyn on 20th Avenue,

a few blocks from where

18-year-old African-American

Tyrone Williams,

was shot and killed

as he came into Bensonhurst

to look at a car

that he was looking to buy.

Tyrone and two of his

friends were approached

by an angry group

of white teenagers

who were upset about

one their girlfriends

dating a black man.

A large group of African-Americans

are here protesting.

As you can see,

this is not sitting well with

the folks in this neighborhood.

We will walk where we want!

We will walk where we want!

We will walk where we want!

F***in' n*gger lowlifes! Get the

f*** out of our neighborhood.

Shove that watermelon

up your honkey ass!

Give me this, Tommy.

You f***ing Guinea,

I'll f***ing kick your ass!

Get your ass out of our neighborhood!

You don't belong here!

F*** you, okay!

Get the f*** out of here!

You motherfuckers!

F***ing n*ggers!

Get the f*** out of here,

you f***ing moolies!

You f***ing eggplants!

You f***ing hamster!

- Can you believe that sh*t?

- I know, right?

What did you do that for,

Dominick?

That was pretty drastic.

Drastic?

These n*ggers have no right

to march through here.

How many whites get killed

in their neighborhood

and we never hear

a damn thing about it?

A n*gger dies

in a white neighborhood

and these monkeys
