BOBBY Hey Tony, we’ve been waitin’. What happened to ya?
TONY Seven Hail Marys and an Act of Contrition.
(TONY crosses himself) Hey Bobby, Pauline came by the store today. She was askin’ ‘bout ya.
GUS Jesus Christ, Bobby. I thought we told you how to handle that. It’s high school crap.
TONY What do ya know about high school? You barely finished the eighth grade.
BOBBY She’s been callin’ me all week...left seven messages with my mother, two with my father, and now you. Next, she’s gonna take an ad in the Pennysaver.
JOEY Madone!
BOBBY I just feel bad, you know.
(beat)
DOUBLE-J You feel? You feel, what? What the hell is that?
BOBBY I feel...you know, bad. I mean we grew up together.
JOEY No, Bobby, we grew up together. Us guys. She’s just a chick from the neighborhood.
GUS Bobby, we told ya...“It is what it is.”
BOBBY Yeah but...

BOBBY Tony, what do you think? I mean, I trust what you say. Tony...you and I, we’re almost cousins.
TONY We’re Italian, Bobby...everybody’s our cousin.
BOBBY
Tony, come on, I’m serious.
TONY Alright, alright, listen...Pauline’s a good girl, a nice girl. But look at this place, Bobby. What do you see?
BOBBY A disco.
TONY A disco?
(he laughs and looks around at the FACES)
A disco. No, Bobby. This is not a disco. This? This is...hot...sweaty, mind-numbing groovin’. Where the most beautiful, most slammin’, most damn-fine women come. This is the hottest club in the coolest city on the face of the planet. The center of the universe, Bobby, just happened to land in Bay Ridge. Right here...right now. And they’ve all come...all these chicks have come for one reason...and one reason only.
(beat) To dance.
GUS, JOEY, TONY, DOUBLE-J I WANNA PUT ON MA MA MA MA MA BOOGIE SHOES

SCENE 11 WEDNESDAY MORNING--A BROOKLYN STREET
(we hear the sound of a truck pulling down the street...lights up on street...the FACES are playing stickball)
DOUBLE-J
Damn bread truck. He’s gotta drive right though our game, huh?
JOEY That’s all right, we’ll make sure we hit ‘em double in the mornin’.
BOBBY GAME ON! Hey, give me the ball.
GUS (entering with a brown deli delivery box)
Fresh bread and doughnuts!
(the GUYS grab the bread and start eating)
DOUBLE-J
I still can’t believe those dumb-asses just leave ‘em outside the deli door.
BOBBY I can’t believe you guys get up this early to swipe the bread delivery. You never got up this early for nothin’ in your whole life.
JOEY You don’t understand. This is no normal bread. We’re talkin’ Caputo’s fresh semolina...still warm.
DOUBLE-J It’s so good it’s like God gave birth in my mouth.

JOEY What the hell is wrong with you? That’s disgusting!
GUS Hey--did you see what the Yankees are gonna pay Jackson?
JOEY Yeah--I heard. My Pop’s all pissed off cause they’re paying him more than Piniella. Just another case of a paisan gettin’ screwed.
DOUBLE-J Piniella ain’t Italian.
JOEY What?!
DOUBLE-J No--he’s like Spanish or somethin’.
JOEY You know, you just ruined my entire day.
GUS If I had that type of money, I’d get myself a Mercedes, you know.
JOEY You’re never gonna get yourself a Mercedes...
#8 DOG-EAT-DOG ...those things cost too much money. You’ll never have that type of money.
DOUBLE-J Hey you...you know I’ve had you up to here, you. That’s your favorite speech!
JOEY You’re never gonna have that type of money in your whole life. Not you, not me, not anybody.
THEY’RE SELLIN’ YOU A STORY AND YOU’RE ALL JACKED-UP TO BUY
