The Freshman Page #2

Took a beating.

But I still got most of your clothes.

I'm going to the police.

Police? You're a college student.

I'm a working man. No police.

No? Robbery is still a crime

in New York. It's not legal.

It depends on the circumstances.

Bullshit.

I'll get you a job.

An unbelievable opportunity.

- You're just the guy.

- I'm serious. In fact...

No, forget about it.

- What?

- No.

It's irresponsible of me.

So much money.

What is it?

I shouldn't offer you this job.

But I'm in an awkward position...

...between my feelings of guilt towards

you and my family obligations.

I don't know what you mean.

I'm offering you a job

that I promised to my sister's kid.

Perfect for a college student.

Flexible hours, big money.

My sister will kill me. She'll get a

gun and blow my brains out.

What kind of work? Stealing cars?

If you're going to be a cynic...

You expect me to trust you

after you steal everything I own?

Don't do anything you don't want to.

I'm giving you a choice is all.

If you want to make serious money...

...be at this address

tomorrow afternoon at 2:00.

"120 Hester Street.

Old World Social Club."

You'll work for my Uncle Carmine.

A great man.

He's the smart one in the family.

Look who's here! Don't be shy.

Come right in.

I wasn't sure this was it.

This is it.

Best neighbourhood in New York.

Uncle Carmine's waiting for you.

Here we go.

There at the desk. That's him.

- He's your uncle?

- Yeah. Do me a favour.

Don't say anything about my gambling.

I said, "How are you doing?"

"Very well," he says.

Hello.

This is my good friend Clark,

from Kansas.

Vermont.

"My heart is filled with much

happiness in meeting you," he says.

God Almighty.

You notice the resemblance, right?

He's the real thing. The original.

When they saw him,

they based the movie...

So is he a Mafia guy?

No, local businessman. Importer.

That's it.

- What a kisser.

- Unbelievable.

This is my uncle, Carmine Sabatini.

Uncle Carmine, this is Clark.

You never told me your last name.

- Kellogg.

- Just like the cereal.

Like the breakfast cereal.

Your resemblance to...

- Clark, have a seat.

- Pull up a chair.

- Would you like a nut?

- No, thank you.

None for me, Uncle Carmine.

Did you ever try Italian coffee?

No.

- Would you like to try a little taste?

- Yeah. Why not?

- Good.

- None for me, Uncle Carmine.

"Two espressos," he says.

That picture on the wall

wouldn't by any chance be Mussolini?

It ain't Tony Bennett.

Some older members of the club...

...they keep it up there for sentiment.

- Sentiment.

- The old days.

For the old days.

For good or for bad.

It would be like, for you,

a picture of the Beatles.
