Giving Back The Money
[LORENZO]
It's no wonder why the neighborhood
Treats a boy like him so god damn good
Playing craps and shining up his car
We're going straight to the bar to give the back the money
[CALOGERO]
What!?
[LORENZO]
Shut your mouth
You'll get your mum upset
[CALOGERO]
But-
[ROSINA]
Shh!
[LORENZO]
Yeah that's right
You ain't seen nothing yet
[CALOGERO]
Daddy, Daddy, don't say nothing please
I made a promise to Sonny!
[LORENZO]
Let's go. Now
[ROSINA]
Wait!
Let's not make any rash decisions
[LORENZO]
What?
[ROSINA]
Money like that you don't pull from a hat
I mean twelve hundred dollars can buy us a lot
[LORENZO]
It's blood money
[ROSINA]
I know and it's wrong even so
But who's gonna know if we spend it or what?
[LORENZO]
It's dirty
It's cheap
And the price is too steep
Take one cent, you're in deep with them
Like it or not
[CALOGERO]
Daddy! Daddy!
Don't say nothing the moneys mine
[ROSINA]
Please!
Lorenzo please!
[GAMBLERS]
(laughing)
[LORENZO, spoken]
Sonny, I would like to talk to you
I want you to take this money back
We can't accept it
[SONNY, spoken]
No disrespect to you Lorenzo
But I didn't give it to you
I gave it to your son
[LORENZO, spoken]
Yeah that's right
My son
And I'm warning you
Stay away from my son
[SONNY]
What'd you say?
Hey, Lorenzo, you and I should talk
C, I'd like it if you take a walk
[LORENZO]
Hey!
I'm his father and I'll decide
Calogero wait outside
[SONNY]
First of all don't show me disrepect
Number two, I teach your boy correct
Do the right thing, go to college
[LORENZO]
Please Sonny, he don't need your kinda knowledge
The clothes
The cars
The money
The girls
All that power what's it meant?
Now he says that Mickey Mantle wouldn't pay my rent?
[SONNY, spoken]
What the hell's the matter with you?
I treat that kid like he's my son
[LORENZO, spoken]
He's not your son!
[SONNY, spoken]
Get him out of here!
I wash my hands of you
[CALOGERO, spoken]
Where's my money Dad?
What'd Sonny say?
Can I have my money?
[LORENZO, spoken]
I left it in there!
[CALOGERO, spoken]
What!?
How'd you do that?
I worked it for it
It was my money
[LORENZO, spoken]
It's dirty money
[CALOGERO, spoken]
I want my money!
[LORENZO, spoken]
Stop it
[CALOGERO, spoken]
I want my money!
Give me my money!
[LORENZO, spoken]
NO!
[CALOGERO, spoken]
Daddy, why did you hit me?
Why?
Sonny's right. He's right
The working man's a sucker
He's a sucker!
[LORENZO, spoken]
Sonny's wrong
[CALOGERO, spoken]
I don't understand, Dad
[LORENZO, spoken]
You will when you get older
I'm sorry I hit you
Just stay away from him
Okay?
[CALOGERO, spoken]
Okay
