Friends and Family Page #2

Synopsis: Children and parents. In New York City, Stephen and Danny live well: they're smooth, cool, in love, and good at what they do. Stephen's Midwestern parents pay them a surprise visit. Meanwhile, Jenny and Damon tell their parents they are engaged: Matt's parents, Midwestern paramilitary fanatics, take it as a sign to gather their group to invade New York. Jenny's father is the local Mob boss who employs Stephen and Danny as enforcers. He's unhappy that Jenny is marrying someone who is neither Sicilian nor Catholic. Stephen's parents know he's gay, they just don't know what his job is. Here come the parents; will the children survive? All roads lead to the engagement party.

Yeah, business is going

real well.

Yeah, really well.

Yeah.

We've been making a killing.

Mrs. Torcelli,

yeah, I got another call

coming through.

It's a customer.

Yeah, day and night.

You know, catering business,

cutthroat.

All right.

Good-bye, Mrs. Torcelli.

I feel like an idiot

every time I talk to her.

What's so idiotic

about the idea

of us running

a catering company?

Stephen, we can't cook.

Are we ever going

to tell your parents

what we do

for a living?

Danny, I don't think

they could handle it.

Oh, they couldn't handle it

or you couldn't handle

them knowing?

Hey, fellas.

Busy night.

Whoa!

Been a lot of that?

Is he in back?

He's waiting for you.

I'll see youse later.

Hey, Stephen.

Hey, Danny.

Good costume.

Looking good.

Hey.

How you doing, guys?

Vito.

Vito, wake up.

You're here alone

with your father.

You're supposed

to be bodyguarding.

I am bodyguarding.

Do you realize

what an honor it is

to be trusted

with your father's life?

Does he know you're asleep?

I wasn't asleep.

I can't believe

you guys thought I was asleep.

Where's your brother?

He's out front.

He's in the back

sewing costumes again, isn't he?

Frankie

sewing costumes?

Did he make

Tania's new outfit?

I don't know what-

Frankie.

You know what it does

to your father

when he sees you sewing;

watch your head.

You're supposed

to be managing the club.

I am.

I am managing the club.

Yeah? What about the drunk guy

with the tattoos?

Tattoos?

Yeah, Leo and Eddie had

to take him out.

What would your kids say

if they saw you now?

They'd be proud.

You know what this means.

Uh-huh.

We said if we ever

got engaged-

No, no.

Damon, we talked

about this.

Talked about what?

Damon.

It's time

to tell our parents.

So...

how did it go?

Oh, my boys,

my boys.

Did you pass Vito

on the way in?

Why aren't the two of you

Sicilian?

Then you could take over

the family

after I die.

We don't want to take over

the family, Padrone.

He's a good son.

You have two good sons.

They love you.

Honey-

We have to get all the way

to Indianapolis by tomorrow.

It's our first trip

to see Stephen and Danny.

I want everything

to be perfect.

Right.

All over,

we're being chased out.

First the fish market,

then the garbage trucks.

How are we going

to make a living?

It's almost like

we're being forced into drugs.

Please, drugs.

You know

how I feel about drugs.

It's easy for you, Victor.

It's never easy.

Do I look like a mushroom,

Victor?

Stop feeding me bullshit;

You should pardon the expression.

You're exaggerating

the difference between us.

As I said before, bullshit.

You should again pardon

the expression.
