The Wanderers Page #2

Synopsis: Set against the urban jungle of 1963 New York's gangland subculture, this coming of age teenage movie is set around the Italian gang the Wanderers. Slight comedy, slight High School angst and every bit entertaining with its classic 1950's Rock n' Roll soundtrack such as "Walk Like a Man", "Big Girls Don't Cry" by The Four Seasons and "My Boyfriend's Back" by The Angels. Focusing around a football game where the different gangs play with and against each other, then at its grand finale, come together in a mass of union to defend their honour and their turf. Nostalgic stuff and above all a Rock n' Roll retrospective on a grand musical era. Timeless.

She don't drive it so much.

She's got high blood pressure.

Too bad.

Are you 18?

Yeah, I'm 19.

- I got held back, you know?

- Yeah, sure.

Joey!

Hey, how's it hanging, guys?

You were really cool yesterday, man.

John Wayne.

Joey, what's his name?

What's your name? Don't sweat it, Joey.

I just want to meet the guy, man.

Joey.

Would you get off my ass!

We got all kinds of gangs here.

See these guys here?

Those are the Executioners.

Over here on the left...

...the Ghettos, they're Jewish.

On the right, in green, the Irish...

...the Delaney's. You're Italian, right?

- Yeah.

Then you got to get into an Italian gang,

like the Wanderers.

Hey, Turkey,

where's the dollar you owe me?

- How you doing? Good to see you.

- Here's your dollar.

Then you got your n*gger gangs.

You got your Cavaliers...

...you got your Pips here,

and then you got your Mau Mau's.

D.B. Stands for '"Del Bombers,'"

the toughest n*gger gang around.

Hey, coon Stitch. Hey, how you doing?

Good to see you.

What's this?

Hey, Teddy Wong!

Twenty-seven guys with the last

name Wong, who all know jujitsu.

Could kill you with one judo chop.

Do you got gangs like this

where you come from?

We don't got this stuff

in Trenton, New Jersey.

Don't worry about anything.

Hang out with the Wanderers,

and we'll take care of you.

Richie, where are you?

Richie, we got him.

Richie Gennaro.

- Perry Maguire.

- How you doing?

I want to thank you for helping us out.

Anytime you need anything,

you let me know. All right?

Richie, I got your homework.

Wow, that's a nice job.

You even goofed up my handwriting.

Thanks, you're my main man.

Hey, Richie?

Turkey, take your hat off and get your feet

off the desk. It smells bad enough.

Very funny, Mr. Sharp.

I said, '"take your hat off! '"

Come on, take it off.

What's the matter?

You guys never seen a Baldie before?

Mr. Sharp, did you see

what Turkey just did?

Shut up, stupid!

Are you gonna make me, motherf***er?

Let's go.

All right, settle down.

You've both got detention.

Mr. Sharp, man. Damn.

Mr. Sharp...

Them white boys here,

they's getting obstreperous.

Anybody know what week this is?

- Brotherhood Week.

- Very good, Stitch.

Now, who wrote this?

You did.

'"A. Lincoln.'"

'"Race, creed, color.'"

I wanna see how many different races

we have just here in this classroom.

All Jewish people, stand up.

Okay. All the Italians.

All right! Okay. Settle down.

All Colored.

What's the matter, Stitch?

Don't we have a group to suit you?

No, I'm an Eskimo.

Where can I get some Eskimo pie?

Okay.

Colored. Italian.

Or is it Colored and Eye-talian?

Is that the way your old man talks?
