Friends and Family Page #3

Synopsis: Children and parents. In New York City, Stephen and Danny live well: they're smooth, cool, in love, and good at what they do. Stephen's Midwestern parents pay them a surprise visit. Meanwhile, Jenny and Damon tell their parents they are engaged: Matt's parents, Midwestern paramilitary fanatics, take it as a sign to gather their group to invade New York. Jenny's father is the local Mob boss who employs Stephen and Danny as enforcers. He's unhappy that Jenny is marrying someone who is neither Sicilian nor Catholic.

I always say,

"Stick with what you know.

"Stick with what works.

Stick with what's clean. "

The numbers,

there's a clean business.

Unions,

there's a clean business.

Prostitution,

there's a clean business.

Oh, Damon, my boy.

I can't believe it.

Engaged.

What did you say

her name was?

I didn't.

It's Jenny.

Jenny Patrizzi.

Is she pretty?

Matt.

She's beautiful.

What did you say

her family does?

Dear?

What does her father do?

For a living.

Yoo-hoo!

I don't know?

Now, about

the blue fish-

Blue fish.

And to drink?

How do they grill that?

It's in a mustard remoulade.

Doesn't it turn flaky?

Well, how would you describe

the consistency?

It's somewhere

between sole and tuna.

Oh.

That comes

with avocado polenta.

How does that-

Vito.

I think

Mr. Levine is hungry.

Okay.

I'll have...

He'll have whatever

he was talking about.

The blue fish.

He'll have the blue fish.

Okay.

Victor,

the things you're up on.

Wireless this,

internet that.

You're as old as I am.

Who taught you all that?

It's the 21 st century, Marvin.

Got to look forward,

not back.

You know

what you are, Victor?

You're a genius.

You're a goddamn genius.

Would you excuse me?

I have to-

Vito, Mr. Levine

is talking.

Well, he's just embarrassed

to hear me talk

about you like that.

You have to go

to the bathroom?

Yes.

All right, go, go.

What, are you crazy,

Victor?

Leaving you alone?

He had to go.

Well, since when

do you sit in public

without a bodyguard?

You don't see me letting my son

go take a piss, do you?

I'd make him pee

in his pants right here.

Tell him; tell him.

Bodyguard?

He's not my bodyguard.

Those are my bodyguards.

Those guys?

Victor.

They're figureless.

Animals.

Those guys?

You know what?

They're tougher

than they look.

Tougher than they look?

Imagine.

Vito, you're supposed

to be in the bathroom.

You left your father's table

for this.

What would he say

if he saw you?

Let's go.

Do you even have to go

to the bathroom?

Please tell me you did.

Tell me you didn't lie

to your father on purpose.

You're going

to be Padrone one day.

What's the matter

with you?

So how did you guys meet?

We were Army Rangers

together.

This was before

"don't ask, don't tell. "

We asked.

We told.

So what does this

make Patrizzi?

A fairy godfather?

You have an upset stomach

or something?

No.

Old man, get in the car!

Get the car-now!

Must be Levine.

You go.

What about you?

I'll stay with him;

you go.

Hurry up,; hurry up!

You okay?

Your job is, before they

drive off with your father,

you make them

kill you first.

Okay?

You know we'd love to come

and visit you in New York, son,
