hwp You were lucky. When we was kids
we couldnt afford no dentist.
Ma took out my back molars
with an open Coke bottle.
You sit here all night
till you finish that soup.
I tried. I cant get it down. Its awful.
- Eat it up quick. You wont taste it.
- I would taste it if I didnt have a tongue.
You dont want a tongue?
I can arrange that, too.
- Maybe if he just had some plain, hot tea?
- Did I ask you?
Maybe instead of dinner,
youll go count the pretzels?
- What pretzels?
- The ones in the pretzel jar.
There were nine pretzels in the jar
this morning, there are only six tonight.
We dont sell no pretzels today.
- lf you let someone steal, you pay for it.
- What?
Dont "what" me.
You dont "what" your grandma.
Go help Bella wash up the dishes.
And then you go down
and clean up the basement.
- Im not through eating.
- Bella, take his plate.
Take his plate!
You find this funny, Louie?
Dont try taking my plate, Ma.
Louies hungry.
Eat it quick and no noise.
I talked to Gert.
Shes coming over tomorrow night.
Thats when Im going to tell Grandma.
I need you and Arty.
Youre gonna back me up on this, right?
Dont get Grandma upset,
because I really need her in a good mood.
Look at me. I cant stop eating.
I ate three pretzels today.
- You ate them? Why didnt you tell her?
- She knew I ate the pretzels.
She said, "Why are you eating so much?
You nervous?"
Of course Im nervous about something!
Im sorry. It was an accident.
Ill pay for it.
No. Put it on my bill with the pretzels.
Youre just wasting gas, boys.
Nothing.
Just Hollywood Harrys
trying to shake Uncle Louie out of the tree.
I forgot. They told Jay to tell you
that Friday night the dance is over.
Yeah?
Dont worry about it.
Uncle Louie can out-dance a couple
of Bronx palookas like that any day.
I wish I was as tough as you.
Youre getting there. Took on
the old lady tonight, that took moxie.
- Whats moxie?
- Whats moxie?
Thats moxie.
Are you in trouble?
I was never not in trouble.
Hey, Hollywood Harry?
Take this,
right through your Betty Grable tie.
You no-good, dirty, little kid killer.
That store doesnt have to be cleaned
for a year now.
- Guess what Uncle Louie gave me?
- I dont know. Im dead.
A dollar.
Wanna go to the movies on Sunday?
Movies? Lets go to a war movie
and see them kill German grandmas.
What you think youre doing?
- Dusting your chair?
- No, I dont think so.
From now on, Arthur,
I dont think I be so nice to you.
"Star light, star bright
"First star I see tonight
"I wish I may, I wish I might"
I forget the rest.
But please help me tomorrow night.
Im gonna show you
how I used to sneak out when I was a kid.
I was really hot to see my girlfriend,
Francie, but Ma didnt like her.
Why not?
Cause Francie was married,
and I was and a half.
Come here.
Twenty-two feet.
Me and Bella dug it ourselves.
Bella did?
I just told her China was on the other side.
She got all excited
because she loves Chinese food.
- Did Grandma ever know about this?
- She found out about it after a while.
When I crawled out the other side,
she was waiting.
Whacko! I got that big German hand
across the head.
Then it was prison for me.
- What prison?
- Grandmas closet.
She used to lock me in there,
two, three hours at a time.
No light, no water, no food.
Just enough air to breathe.
- That would make me crazy.
- Im tough as nails.
Come on. Lets go. Give me your arm.
Arty, come on.
