Get outta my way!

Hey, Pilato. Come here.

You know your partner's an a..shole.

Take him for a walk. Listen to me.

Take him for a walk...

...and talk some sense into him.

Started a fire

Wild and burning

But you

And I'll do anything

You'd ever want

Just to see that look

in your eyes

What was it?

It was beautiful!

It was nothin'.

I was just messin' around.

Vincent,

how long is this gonna go on?

You're twenty seven years old.

Just till somebody

gives us a break, Ma.

Till we can find somebody

to record our stuff.

Why don't you do it yourself?

You have a terrific voice.

Remember that,

that record you made with,...

...your friends after high school?

Oh, I really liked it.

I did.

-You and six other people liked it.

-No.

-Ma, l.

l don't know

how to sell an audience.

Ya gotta, ya gotta have

that kind of look, ya know?

I started going bald

when I was eighteen.

I mean, for me to get up

there now, it's a joke.

Listen, everything'

gonna be okay anyway, right?

Mario's doin' all right.

The restaurant's doin' great!

Sure. Thanks to your father.

For you,

your father does nothing.

It's okay. l don't need him

to do anything for me.

I don't want anything.

Why don't you call him?

He owes it to you.

What does he owe you, huh?

He owes you something, too.

No, no, no.

He owes me nothing.

With you it's different.

Better he should give it to you

than one of his w..res.

Listen to that!

Listen to you! Come on!

Forget about it!

I don't need anything from him.

We're gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be all right.

You'll see.

Oh, yeah!

Come and get it.

Everybody's feelin' here tonight

Everybody's feelin' all right

I know what you're waitin' for

Let's not wait no more

Yeah you know I ain't lyin'

Ladies and gentlemen,

the boy with the big blue eyes...

...Jimmy Ryan!

Yeah!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Hey, right!

Yeah!

Thinking about that.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Shelly, you got me rockin'

Shelly, you got me feelin'

Shelly

You got me wanting you

Shelly

You got me tossing

Shelly, you got me turning

Shelly, what else can I do?

Everytime the nighttime comes

Hey, Vinnie!

Wait up!

So what do ya think of

Jimmy Ryan? Pretty good, huh?

Well, it's like I said.

He's limited.

Why didn't you tell me

you could sing?

It's a joke, huh?

But don't laugh too hard, Vaccari.

You'd be surprised how many

chicks are turned on by it.

I do all right.

-I'll bet ya do.

Listen, I'm lookin' for somebody

good to record my stuff,...

...and I think you're it.

-Me?

Ya gotta be kiddin'!

I ain't no singer!

Don't say ain't.

It's bad English.

-Aw, come on!

-Besides, you got it, Tommy.

I saw it in there.
