Scene 5

Scene 5: It's morning at Lucci's apartment, Lucci and Amanda are sleeping in his bed when the phone rings.

(Lucci gets up looks around, looks at Amanda sleeping and picks up the phone)

Lucci:

Yeah...

Over the phone:

Eh Lucci, It's Freddie.

Lucci:

Yeah, what the fuck do you want?

Freddie:

You know our friend with the stomach?

Lucci:

The what? Oh right I got you, what about him?

Freddie:

He got involved with that construction guy, it's no good for you.

Lucci:

How?

Freddie:

The deal was made but to his behalf, anyway Mickey happened to be there and they called Freddo, now they're waiting for you at the the sight.

Lucci:

That fucking cocksucker, I knew this would happen.

Freddie:

Yeah it's like that story with the kid and the...

(Lucci hangs up)

Lucci:

Eh, you , what the fuck is her... oh Amanda.

Amanda:

Yes?

Lucci:

You need to get going I got to get out of here.

Amanda:

What? I was hoping we would...

Lucci:

Not now, come on get dressed.

(Down at the entrance of the building Lucci is getting in his car)

Amanda:

Could you at least give me a ride home, it's far away from...

Lucci:

No time doll, I'll call you.

(leaves)

(He gets there, Vito and Freddo are sitting in a table drinking coffee, Mickey and Freddie are also there sitting up)

Vito:

Look who finally shows up!

Lucci:

Don't you fucking dare you son of a bitch, I should put a bullet in your fucking head and get done with it.

Freddo:

Eh shut up, now sit down, I ain't got all day for this.

Vito:

Eh Freddo I really don't see what all the commotion is about, the deal was made, you got your points, and you call me to fucking sitdown, come on!

Lucci:

What the... The fact that the deal was to be made by me I guess it doesn't mean anything huh? Freddo I told you about this he's done it eight fucking times, and if he wasn't spotted he would say I made it all up, come on don't you see what's going on here?

Vito:

(silently)

Oh vaffanculo.

Lucci:

(gets up)

What the fuck did you say?

Freddo:

Eh enough, it better be the last fucking time otherwise you're both done. So Vito you give Lucci 10 G's and another five to me for waisting my fucking time.

Vito:

It's Done!

Lucci:

I should have gotten 17 out of that fucking deal!

Freddo:

That's too bad is it? Well if you had fucking come here earlier instead of spending your time drinking and fucking and whatever, all this wouldn't have happened, so get it over your heads both of you, I call the shots here, I promoted you to make my life easier and so far this isn't going well. You better realize that or else...(starts coughing and after a while he spits blood).

Lucci:

Hey are you alright?

Freddo:

Shut up, just keep in mind what I said. Joy get the fucking car we're leaving (he leaves)

Vito:

I guess you're happy now aren't you?

Lucci:

Yeah I am, don't you have somewhere to be?

Vito:

Cocksucker.

(throws down his smoke and leaves too)

(Mickey and Freddie are preparing to leave as well)

Lucci:

Not so fast, I need to talk to you.

Mickey:

What is it Lucc?

Lucci:

Sit down, you too Freddie!

(They sit down)

Lucci:

Word of this can't get outside...I've found a way to get back at Vito.

Mickey:

Are you crazy? Didn't you listen to a word the big man said?

Lucci:

Eh that cocksucker Vito got out of this with two grand in his pocket, and I'm down seven, if he's thinking he can fuck me anytime he's out of his fucking mind. Anyway I need you to meet me at the Black Horse 11 o'clock.

Mickey:

You need to forget this, you should know better than me that Freddo Milano is no fucking joke.

Lucci:

I know he's not, but he's not gonna find out.

Mickey:

What? You think you're gonna fuck Vito and he'll keep it to himself, especially after today?

Lucci:

Yes he will but I'll explain more at the bar.

Freddie:

Are you sure Lucci? If something goes wrong it will be like that story...

Lucci:

Don't start alright? And yes it will be fine, I'll see you tonight.

Mickey:

Alright then.

(Mickey and Freddie shake hands with Lucci and leave while Lucci is sitting in the table thinking)
