:F0500 F /en2/ TIME CODE: 05:00 Angelo watches Cyndi go. He is puzzled about what to believe, interrupted in his thoughts when JACK enters the area. JACK Find out anything? ANGELO Don't you wish. JACK Look, man, I don't know what I have to do to convince you that I know nothing about your brother. ANGELO Jack, now listen to me. It's not I who needs the convincing, you understand me? It's not like you're giving the orders around here. It's not like I got a problem, understand? JACK Angelo, all I mean to say is-- ANGELO You don't say. Understand me, Jack? You don't say! You listen! Now the skinny is this: there is heat on the DiMarco family in connection with this bunch of crazy jerkoffs, this so-called church, and my business, if you get my meaning, and what interests me is why is there this connection in the first place? In other words, you take DiMarco, you take this jerkoff church, and who is the chicken and who is the egg? What comes first, understand me? Because the fact is, Nick, bless my dear brother's heart, has been in the other world for some any months now and therefore in no way is he a fugitive from law and justice, like the Feds claim, and also he never joined no jerkoff church, when he is a God-fearing Catholic like the rest of the family, and so what I don't understand, Jack, is what is going on, who in this jerkoff church is after DiMarco, or who has the audacity to link a good God-fearing family name with this bunch of hippy weirdos, not to mention getting a certain family business involved -- you understand me? JACK If you ask me, Angelo, you worry too damn much. ANGELO Jack, Jack. I don't need advice from you, especially after you upset my boy, Polo. Now you know you upset him very bad. So bad, he got himself in trouble over you. Now you know that. JACK I explained that. I was short of cash at the time. I'm square now, I've been square for over a year. ANGELO Forgive me if I'm suspicious, Jack, it's the DiMarco nature, but something in this marriage, this sister of yours and her sudden interest in this jerkoff church, there is something that smells to my DiMarco nose like a stinking rat. Understand me, Jack? JACK I don't like it any better than you do. For Christ's sake, Angelo, you know I'm trying to take her to court because of it. ANGELO Your family does strange things, Jack. You get Polo in trouble, your sister flips her wig, your mother maybe is a murderer of her own husband-- JACK Not necessarily. ANGELO Jack, Jack -- you have to learn to listen. I said maybe. Did I say maybe? JACK Hey, you're the guest here, okay? I'm trying to be a good host, Angelo, but don't push me too far. ANGELO I push as hard as I want. JACK Not me, you don't. ANGELO Listen to the big man. Jack, you worry me. You're not thinking. Like this former housekeeper. Suddenly she disappears. And what does she know about your little side business up in your mansion, for example? JACK Maxine never knew anything. ANGELO Polo's not so sure. JACK She never gave a damn what happened in the mansion. She flipped out long before Trudy did. ANGELO So maybe this jerkoff church is into some hustle, right? If it was my business, the DiMarco business, I would hear of it, right? Nothing escapes the DiMarco family. So why is there a link between these weirdos and my family? It's more than the Feds nosing around, it's an insult, to think of such a link. So maybe whoever did it is after more than the power play, maybe it's even personal, to give my family a bad name. JACK I can't follow all this, Angelo. I don't know anything about what the Feds in L.A. are after. ANGELO "Cokescam", Jack! To link the DiMarco family and these jerkoffs into one big organized cocaine-scamming multi-national bad-ass dealing sons-a-bitches! Do I make myself clear? JACK I think you're worried about nothing. ANGELO This sister of yours, why is she involved in these jerkoffs? JACK She's not rational. ANGELO You're sure? JACK Of course I'm sure. ANGELO Interesting, when she marries, it should be the lawyer, yes? The very lawyer who fights the Feds in "cokescam." JACK Also the one wanting to transfer her share of the estate to the church. ANGELO And are these two scams connected, is the point? JACK Trudy is mentally disturbed. If you think she's involved in the "cokescam" business-- ANGELO Is exactly what I'm asking, Jack. JACK Something like that, it would be beyond her present mental capacity. ANGELO Or would there be a reason for the church to do it, I wonder? To make this link, in order to give the DiMarco family a bad name? JACK What am I supposed to tell you? I can barely follow what you're saying. All I'm sure about is, Trudy is not herself. She's lost it. And I think the church is responsible for that, in order to get her to give them her share of the estate. ANGELO It would be interesting to talk to her, the two of us, I think. JACK Tonight? I doubt we'll have the opportunity. ANGELO Opportunities are made, not given. I think you can make the opportunity. After all, she is your sister. JACK I got my own problems, Angelo, I can't worry about your paranoia. Besides, it's her wedding here, how could I get her off alone? ANGELO You're a bright boy. That's what Polo tells me. Reckless but bright. Maybe you can think of something, Jack. Maybe it's very important that you think of something. JACK Angelo, you don't call the shots in my territory. I don't want to have to tell you again. ANGELO Listen to the big man! Who do you think looks over all territories, Jack? North and South, East and West, the kingpin of all territories? This is the DiMarco family I'm referring to. Use your head, boy! In other words, Jack, there are priorities here. Maybe you need time to think. So I'll be waiting for our meeting with your sister, right? I'll be seeing you around . . . He leaves the area, going to the bar. /ex13/ TIME CODE: 09:00 /h2/ ?"Follow Angelo" ?"Stay with Jack" :"Follow Angelo" Follow Angelo :"Stay with Jack" Stay with Jack
