Back in the Day Page #6

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.

I mean, I feel for you.

It must suck,

not having your dad around.

It's okay.

Me and my mom are fine.

- I'm gonna get going.

- Hey, no, no, no,

can't you sit and talk

for a little while?

Nah, I really gotta go.

Anthony...

Relax.

Relax, my boy.

Relax.

You're way too tense.

You know, maybe you need

a little massage.

No, I'm okay.

Really, Mr. V.

I don't need a massage.

Anthony, it's okay

if it feels good.

What the hell are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me, huh?

I like you.

People looked at me

and thought I was crazy

for hiring a Puerto Rican.

But I did it.

I did it 'cause of you.

You're sick, you know that?

I'm sick?

Get out of here!

You're fired!

And don't come back!

Like I really would!

Hurry up and eat

and get back to work.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just won't be going

back to work no more.

Why not?

I just think I can do

something better

than work in a butcher shop.

You can do something better

with your life.

You're gonna do

something better.

I don't know what it is,

but it's gonna be huge.

I hope so, mom.

I got a surprise for you.

A surprise?

Close your eyes.

Wow, mom.

You're the best!

These are great.

I'm very proud of you.

I know it hasn't been easy

with your father

the last couple of years but...

You made everything better.

And you've brightened up

every day.

Well, that's 'cause

you're an angel, mom,

and I love you.

Would you believe

he's still on the telephone?

- Hey, guys.

- Hi, Mary.

- Hiya, Mary.

- Hi, Enzo.

Where you going?

Holy sh*t!

Hey, Mary... oh, no!

Frank!

Get an ambulance!

My Anthony...

My Anthony...

Enzo...

Take care of my boy.

That was the last day

of my childhood.

Sorry to hear that.

Every day...

Every day she would pray

to him before she came in.

You're gonna be all right,

Anthony.

We'll take care of you.

My dad said it.

You can come and stay with us.

I need some time alone, Matty.

I just want to sit here

by myself for a while, okay?

Sure.

I understand.

I'll come back later.

Hey, Mr. V!

Hey, Anthony.

How 'bout a massage?

Anthony! Anthony!

Anthony...

relax!

Sh*t!

That's Mary Donato's kid.

Pull over!

Anthony, relax!

Relax! Anthony!

Hey, break it up!

Anthony!

Straight flush. You got something

bad, you know what I mean?

No. Straight flush.

Yo, T.A.

Hey, Vinny, how you doin'?

Where'd you get that suit?

Hey, Bg, where else?

How bad was this beating?

I mean, how far

did it really go?

How bad was it?

Pretty bad.

This kid packs quite a punch.

He seemed real determined

to kick the sh*t out of Jerry.

We got a little

Mike Tyson over here.

Well, before you

explain yourself,

'cause you are going to do that,
