Mrs. Fusari takes her parcel of meat, but apparently she

feels she still hasn't quite made her point.

MRS. FUSARI

My son Frank, he was married when he

was nineteen years old. Watsa matter

with you?

MARTY:

That's swell, Missus Fusari.

MRS. FUSARI

You should be ashamed of yourself.

She takes her package of meat. Marty gathers up the money on

the counter, turns to the cash register behind him to ring

up the sale. Mrs. Canduso sidles up to the counter.

MRS. CANDUSO

Marty, I want a nice, big fat pullet,

about four pounds. I hear your kid

brother got married last Sunday.

MARTY:

Yeah, it was a very nice affair.

MRS. CANDUSO

Marty, you oughta be ashamed. All

your kid brothers and sisters married

and have children. When you gonna

get married?

NEIGHBORHOOD BAR. LATE AFTERNOON

A TV set on the wall. Mel Allen, smoking a White Owl cigar,

is recapping the baseball game that has just finished as

Marty comes in.

MARTY:

(to two YOUNG MEN

leaving)

What happened?

YOUNG MAN:

The Yanks took two.

MARTY:

Any homers?

The Young Men exit without answering. Marty moves further

into the bar, which is crowded with locals, smoky, noisy.

ACROSS GROUP at bar with Marty in the background approaching,

we see a group consisting of RALPH, who wears a suit and

tie, the only man in the room who isn't in shirtsleeves or a

Basque shirt; JOE, thirty-two, hunched over a girlie magazine;

a KID, twenty-two, studying the magazine over Joe's shoulder.

MARTY:

(to the Kid)
