Scene
11: It's
1967
in a lonely road somewhere in Michigan. A car is stopped in the
middle of the road and (young) Lucci is sitting outside. Finally a
truck shows up and Lucci steps in front of it weaving his hands
calling it to stop. The truck stops and the driver steps outside.
Truck
Driver:
What's
the matter kid?
Lucci:
I
don't know it just fucking died.
Truck
Driver:
Did
you call for help?
Lucci:
How,
we're in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Truck
Driver:
Alright
calm down, if you want I can take you as far as the next town but you
need to take the car off the road first...
(Lucci
surprises the truck driver by pulling a gun to his stomach)
Lucci:
Actually
there's been a change of plans. Guys!
(four
hooded men come into the road towards the truck)
Truck
Driver:
Wai...wait
what is this!?
Lucci:
It's
a fucking robbery jackass.
Truck
Driver:
No
please don't do this I'll loose my fucking job, please.
Lucci:
Shut
up, shut the fuck up.
(points
the gun to his head)
Hooded
Man:
Hey
the truck is fucking locked.
Lucci:
Where
are the keys old man?
Truck
Driver:(crying)
I
don't have them, It's supposed to open when it gets at Lansing, they
will open it at Lansing please you got to believe me.
Hooded
Man:
Hey
kid, shoot this lying piece of shit.
(Lucci
arms the gun)
Truck
Driver:
No,
no no they're right over here (gives them to Lucci) take what you
want, don't hurt me please I have two kids please, please...
Lucci:
Shut
the fuck up, stay where you are.
(Lucci
goes and opens the truck, they take some bags, load them to the car
and prepare to leave)
Lucci:
(to
the hooded men)
Wait!
(he
shoots the truck's tires, the driver screams of fear, they leave)
(The
car is now shown somewhere in Detroit and it gets in a garage behind
a shop where used to be the crews hangout. Inside the garage Lucci
and the three other guys get out of the car, one of them is Vito)
Vito:(to
Lucci)
Ha,
ha ha great job kid.
Tom:(is
one of the other two)
Let's
see what we got first, we can party later. Lucci, Sonny get the bags
in the office.
Lucci:
Right
Away.
(They
carry the bags from the car in the office, there Freddo and some
others are sitting)
Freddo:
Hey
here they are I was just getting worried.
(They
hug)
Vito:
You
should have seen the kid out there, fucking amazing, and no cowboy
shit just...
Tom:
The
kid just came after fighting two years in Vietnam this is fucking
playtime for him, am I right Lucci?
(Lucci
smiles then Vito caresses his hair laughing)
Freddo:
Alright
ladies lets see how you did.
(they
start counting the money, all count and the give to Tom to sum. After
a while)
Tom:
And
along with these we've got a million four hundred and seventy five
thousand, not bad at all.
Vito:
Fucking
beautiful score. Oh and lets not forget (grabs a bunch of money and
gives it to Lucci) Here you go kid.
Lucci:
Wow
what is all this?
Vito:
It's
your cut kid, you earned it. Welcome to the real world.
Lucci:
This
is got to be around ten fucking grand.
Vito:
So?
Lucci:
Nothing,
it's just I hardly made that much from the war.
Vito:
Stick
with me kid and you're gonna make a lot more than that. In fact I
think you should move a category, what do you say you start some dept
collections for Freddo and me, lot more money there.
Freddo:
Bit
early don't you think?
Vito:
Oh
come the fuck on Freddo, the kid's got a talent for that sort of
thing, you should have seen him today.
(The
door opens and Lou Crisme gets in, he was capo of the crew at the
time, everyone gets up and salutes him)
Lou
Crisme:
Buona sera
(Good evening)
(They
get his coat, hand him a cup of coffee, he salutes everyone)
Lou
Crisme:
Alfredo
come stai
(how are you)?
Freddo:
Bene
(I'm well)
Vito:
(bows
his head)
Skip!
(Sonny
grabs Lou's chair at his office so he can seat and he does)
Freddo:
As
you can see (shows him the pile of money) the job was a huge success.
Lou
Crisme:
Eccellente
(Excellent) How did Luciano do?
Vito:
He
was fucking great skip, the kid's got it in him.
Lou
Crisme:
Bravissimo
Luciano, your father would be proud, such a shame that he died so
young.
Lucci:
Thank
you Mr. Crisme.
Vito:
In
fact we were discussing with Freddo whether or not he should start
some dept collections for us.
Lou
Crisme:
Buona
Idea (Good idea) we
will see if he has what it takes to move up in the world.
Freddo:
It's
done then, Lucci do you know this guy Rickie Dicuzman? He's got a bar
at Jefferson Avenue
Lucci:
Yeah
I know the place.
Freddo:
Good,
that cocksucker owe me some money, I need you to talk to him
tomorrow, then you'll go to French road, this guy Brad Dickson owe
some to Vito.
Lucci:
Brad
Dickson, the tattoo artist?
(they
all laugh)
Vito:
Tattoo
artist, isn't he cute?
Lucci:
What
is it?
Vito:
Beneath
the tattoo store this guy runs a brothel, in fact you should visit
yourself, you'd be fucking amazed how great fucking head these
Japanese cunts can give you.
(A
voice from the back “Lucci” is sounding and the scene gets back
to present (1980) inside Freddo's office, the voice is Freddie
calling to Lucci)
Freddie:

land on the street)
