Back in the Day Page #5

Synopsis: Set in both the late 80's and current day, "Back in the Day" is a gritty tale about Anthony Rodriguez (William DeMeo), a half Italian - half Puerto Rican young teenager growing up on the streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn; a then very dangerous and racist neighborhood filled with bullies, big shots and social clubs where all of the neighborhood shots were called. Anthony had to endure an abusive, unemployed, alcoholic father but was blessed with a nurturing, hard-working mother who he loses at a very early age and is devastated by it. In spite of his bitterness, he struggles to uphold the morals his Mother taught him and retain his dignity in spite of being up against all odds. He is taken under the wing of a local mob boss, Enzo DeVino (Michael Madsen), who supports Anthony's wishes to escape his demons through the sport of boxing.

es malo.

Mi hijo es malo.

"Mi hijo

es malo."

Some of the few Spanish words

I learned

from hearing them so much.

Do you know what it means?

I can't say that I do.

My no-good son.

That was the first time

I was knocked out.

And by my own father.

He was out of control...

...but that night,

he took things too far.

What the f***?

What the f*** did you do?

What the f*** will you do?

What the f*** were you thinking?

What you thinking?

I never knew that it was

a different building.

And it's the same

f***ing bullshit...

a brave man and he had

a reason to be there.

You know how it is.

- Good night, Mary.

- Good night, Mary.

Heya, Mary.

How was work?

Long as usual.

Good night, Enzo.

Buona notte, sweetie.

Where were you, huh?

Look at this.

Jose, don't do this right now.

I was at work where I always am.

What the hell are you doing, saying

hi to these f***in' goombahs for?

Enzo.

Why do you say hi to these

goombahs for, huh? Huh?

I walk down this street because

they keep an eye on me, that's it.

I say hello, I say goodbye. I

know people in the neighborhood.

Go take care of Anthony.

He got a beat down, b*tch.

He got a beat down from...

he got a beat down from me

because of you.

- Stop it! Stop it, stop!

- Hey! Hey! Hey!

We'll take care of it.

All right, we'll handle this.

No!

Let us handle this.

That's all right, it's enough!

F***ing punk!

All right, come on.

Let's get out of here.

Come back down here, guys,

come on.

You okay?

Come on.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- That's all right, get up.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He can't come back here.

He has to stay away from here.

You know, there's people in this

neighborhood, they never forgive.

And they never forget. Ever.

We can get along just fine

without him.

Well...

We're gonna have to.

It'll work out, mom.

I'm gonna get a job to help out.

That'll be $5, miss Caruso.

Thank you.

Have a great day.

Anthony, you're doing

great work, okay?

There may be a little surprise

for you at the end of the night.

Remember, today's payday, right?

Hey, Anthony.

We sold more chicken cutlets

this week than I can remember.

Put the broom down.

Let's celebrate.

- Celebrate?

- Yeah

come over here. Take your

apron off, all right?

Work is over.

Come on,

let's have a little drink.

No, I'm okay, Mr. V.

Hey, I told you. Call me Jerry.

Don't insult me.

We'll just have

a little scotch, okay?

To celebrate.

Cheers.

See? It's not that bad.

Actually, it's pretty strong.

Here's your pay, okay?

I put an extra $50 in there

for the week.

You did good, okay?

You worked hard. Take it.

Thank you. You didn't

have to do that, Mr. V.

It's okay.
