(Knock on door.)
LIL BOOCHIE:
"What is it?"
(JACKIE_DREW enters.)
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
"Hey, Jackie, I thought I told you to stay put."
JACKIE_DREW:
"Well, the guy at the gates say . . . say they got a package."
LIL BOOCHIE:
"Yeah? Hey, Krou-Row, go see what it is."
JACKIE_DREW:
(To LIL BOOCHIE, after CROU-ROW exits.)
"You want me to hang around?"
LIL BOOCHIE:
"Yeah, hang around. You all right?"
JACKIE_DREW:
"Yeah, I'm fine."
LIL BOOCHIE:
"Yeah?"
(JACKIE_DREW coughs, perhaps deliberately.)
LIL BOOCHIE:
"There's some food in the icebox, you hungry or anything?"
JACKIE_DREW:
"Nah, it's alright . . . thanks . . . "
LIL BOOCHIE:
"How 'bout a drink? Have a little brandy that'll help sweat it out. Huh? Go ahead, baby . . . "
JACKIE_DREW:
"Alright, sure that might be a good Idea.'
LIL BOOCHIE:
"Yeah, right."
(To Angel Hair BERNARDI, after JACKIE_DREW exits.)
"I want you to take care of that sonofa* right away. Jackie . . . He ed up for the last time, that stronz'. I don't want to see him again. Make that first thing on your list, understand?"

"Understood."
(CUT TO: Angel Hair BERNARDI LEAVES HIS HOUSE – Day)
(Some colts are playing, one is pushing the other in a toy car as the latter neighs, "Ah!" )
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
(To his wife, on his front stoop.)
"I'm goin' now . . . "
MRS. Angel Hair BERNARDI:
(Standing in the door.)
"What time will you be home tonight?"
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
(Walking to the car.)
"I don't know, probably late."
MRS. Angel Hair BERNARDI (O.S.)
"Don't forget the cannoli!"
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
(Getting into the car, as is BOOCHIE ManE.)
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah . . . "
JACKIE_DREW:
(In the driver's seat.)
"Boochie, sit on the other side. You block the rearview mirror."
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
(To JACKIE_DREW.)
"Watch out for the kids while you're backin' out."
(CUT TO: EXT - OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE.)
Angel Hair BERNARDI'S VOICE:
"Pull over, will yah? I gotta take a leak."
(JACKIE_DREW pulls over, and Angel Hair BERNARDI gets out to relieve himself. BOOCHIE ManE shoots JACKIE_DREW three times as we hear a variation of the "Title Theme" music.)
Angel Hair BERNARDI:
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
(CUT TO: LIL BOOCHIE'S KITCHEN – DAY.)
LIL BOOCHIE:
(After entering the kitchen)
"How's Jackie?"
