Part 1

Scene 1: Detroit, Saturday October 4 1980, Lucci Freddie and Vinni are walking night at Jefferson Avenue and they are having a little chat.

Freddie:

You think it's gonna go good with this guy or what Lucci?

Lucci:

I hope so, he's been doing business with us since the time of Lou Crisme, but this motherfucker hasn't paid us for three fucking weeks now so we got to give him a little remind not to fuck it up.

Vinni:

What if he doesn't behave?

Lucci:

Well you fucking know what happens then, don't you?

Vinni:

No, I mean what are we gonna tell Freddo because...

Lucci:

Forget about it. Besides the guy is a fucking chickenshit, I'll shake his teeth a little and that's it.

Freddie:

We shouldn't be here though.

Lucci:

Tell me about it, I have to chase every motherfucker to give me my fucking money, you fucking believe that? And I have to deal with this cocksucker Vito all the fucking time.

Freddie:

You'd better get used to it, now that he's in line to be Capo...

Lucci:

He's in line to be shit, his greatest accomplishment is that he is “The Shark's” nephew. It's been two fucking years and I still can't believe Freddo gave him the south east department, I mean the guy is a fucking stronzo.

Vinni:

Yeah, it was a pretty dump decision.

Lucci:

What did you say? Where the fuck did you get the balls to question Freddo Milano's calls ah? The guy is a fucking legend, you think The Boss made him Acting Consigliere for his eyes?

Vinni:

But you just said...

Lucci:

What you're gonna fucking disagree with me now?

Freddie:

Guys we're here.

(They are getting in a bar and walking through, they come face to face to the bartender)

Bartender:

Eh Mr Bernatolli, how are you today, what can I do for you?

Lucci:

Oh nothing for us today I just want to have a little talk with your boss.

Bartender:

Oh I'm afraid he might be a little busy right now so...

Lucci:

So what? Are you telling me that he has something more important than talking to me? You got some balls kid you know that?

Bartender:

Oh Mr Bernatolli I meant no disrespect he just told me not to...

Lucci:

I'm sure he told you to shut the fuck up and do as I say before I fucking change my mind about all of you here.

Bartender:

I'm sorry Mr Bernatolli I just…

Lucci:

Take your fucking sorries stuck them up your ass and tell me where the fuck he is already.

Bartender:

He's in his office.

Lucci:

That wasn't so hard now was it?

(They are turning around going towards the office when the bartender speaks again)

Bartender:

Just knock the door before you come inside.

Lucci:

I'll nock the door with that fucking head of yours, how about that?

(They are getting in the office and there Rickie is having sex with a girl on his office)

Lucci:

Oh am I interrupting something? Should I come back later? It's funny though I had this crazy little idea we were supposed to have a meeting now.

Rickie:

Oh fuck I totally forgot (to the girl) come on get the fuck out off here don't you see I'm busy?

Lucci:

Oh you shouldn't talk to a girl that way, they hurt more than you and me you know.

Rickie:

I'm sorry you're right I just...

Lucci:

Just shut the fuck up, you have the money or not?

Rickie:

Yeah, yeah it's here somewhere I'm sure...Just let me look around for a second.

Lucci:

Here we go, here we go.

Rickie:

No, no it's here somewhere I'm sure (he checks around the office and he finds the envelope,he looks inside) Oh!

Lucci:

Oh what?

(Freddie and Vinni are getting closer to the office).

Rickie:

Look, this is almost everything in there.

Lucci:

(counts the money)

What the fuck Rickie there's a grand missing here.

(Freddie and Vinni get even closer to Rickie).

Rickie:

Oh come on guys, Lucci please business is been real bad I promise I'll have it in a couple of days you know I'm good for it.

Lucci:

You're good for it? Three fucking weeks we gave you you fucking cocksucker, you're shitting me in the face man I...

Rickie:

Oh come on please we go way back together...

Freddie:

(He hits the office with his bat)

Shut the fuck up you fucking mutt!

Lucci:

Listen now and this is fucking serious believe me. First off all difference is added to the principal, but on the other hand you had a whore in here didn't you? She had to cost something, I say about 300-400$ what do you say Freddie?

Freddie:

Girl like that? Got to be 400.

Lucci:

So you got 400 fucking dollars to pay a fucking whore but you don't have Freddo Milano's money? I don't know I think your dick is a bit of a problem to our business I say we'll get rid of it Eh Freddie?

Freddie:

I think it's a damn good idea Lucci. Vinni get him!

Rickie:

WHAT??? Oh no fuck PLEASE!!!

(Vinni and Freddie catch and hold Rickie, Lucci throws the office away and come in front of him and whisper to his ear)

Lucci:

Listen and I say this with all seriousness, you got till Thursday to give me 3 grand and if there is a single penny missing I'm gonna kill your fucking wife and your fucking children with you watching and then I'm gonna fucking kill you with the most fucked up way that I can think, capiche?

(Rickie moves his head positively)

Lucci:

Lucci:
