The Family Page #2

He the one that did that to your eye?

Yeah. Don't worry, he'll get his.

- I already know his weak point.

- Which is?

He needs a sound system

for his party in two weeks.

There's only one guy

who can get the gear he needs,

and that is the engineer's son

over there, sitting on his own.

You don't waste any time, do you?

I don't have time to waste.

Bon apptit.

GIO VANNl:
In 1931, my grandfather

drove one of the 200 Cadillacs

hired by the legendary Vito Genovese

for his wife 's funeral cortege.

In 1957, my father, Cesare Manzoni,

was one of the 107 bosses

from all over the country

who was invited to the Apalachin

Convention, which ended in a manhunt.

Can you picture me punching

a timecard at some factory?

I could have rebelled and gone straight

to annoy my father.

But that was never gonna happen.

I took over the family business

on my own free will.

Nobody forced me.

Even now ifl got all the best hitmen

in America on my ass,

ready to blow me away

and pick up those 20 million bucks,

I don't have a single regret.

And, to tell the truth, deep down,

you know what, I'm flattered.

Good dog.

Roses need constant

love and attention.

Yeah.

- You've just moved in?

- Yeah. Yesterday.

- American?

- Uh-huh.

- Ah.

- Good or bad?

You know, France is a

favorite destination for foreigners.

Are you staying long?

No, I've never stayed long anywhere.

We move around a lot.

- 'Cause of my work.

- Ah. And what do you do?

- I'm a writer.

- A writer?

And what are you? A novelist?

No, no. Well, maybe one day,

but now it's just history.

The landings. It's a commission.

That's why we're here.

- Landings. That's a vast subject.

- Yeah.

What's your angle on it?

My angle? Well, the Marines.

It's a kind of a tribute to them.

I thought there were only GI's

involved in the landings.

Yeah, but I'm going to discuss the Army

and the core of it and so on,

starting with the fleets.

You know, before the landings,

there was the boardings.

Sure. I guess you'll be devoting

a chapter to Operation Overlord.

Well, I don't think a single chapter

could cover that.

What the 314th Infantry

did in Taubenhof tops it all for me.

Young fellas, from Texas

mostly, weren't they?

Oh yeah, yeah, those guys,

they were like real cowboys.

That's for sure. Yeah.

Jeez, it's four o'clock already.

I've got to get back in the house.

The kids are coming back to school.

- Nice to meet you.

- It was nice meeting you.

Same here.

Why the f*** didn't I just say

I was a novelist?

The window depicts the life

of St. Martin.

It is 15th century stained glass.

- Oh.

- Are you sightseeing in the region?

No, my family and I just moved here.

- Uh... Well, not too far from here.
