The Funeral

Just keep in mind that I and the boy are a candidate for hangin'.

And the first time any one of ya makes a wrong move, I'm gonna kill the whole lot of ya!

So keep your seat.

You might pass me that rucksack that's beside you?

- What do you want with it? - Well, I just wanna get out my life insurance policy.

What do you want with your insurance paper? You're expecting to die?

You guessed it, Mr. Maple.

Cheers.

Do you want sandwiches?

No, we're fine Ray, thanks. We gotta get goin'.

We'll be back tomorrow morning to touch him up, ok?

If you need anything, Ray, give us a call.

Thank you.

He looks good.

Thanks.

Give me Juli, tell him it's Ray.

Yeah, It's me. Drive fast, Juli.

It's Ray. Did my brother get back?

Get him over here, as soon as he gets back.

Yeah, he's here.

Give the message, tell him to hurry.

Wait a minute. What are you doing?

What are you doing? No, no!

You clear with me before you deliver flowers from

anybody outside my family, you understand? Victor!

Victor!

No more flowers unless it's ok by me, you understand?

- What's the problem? - Out! Out!

They give me an address, I deliver the flowers.

I don't even know you.

Come on! Come on! Out! Out!

- Ray, they heard. - Stupid bastards.

- They don't know who they're taking orders from. - All right, then now they know.

Yes.

Yeah, well, fuck them, and their flowers.

Well, they didn't know, they don't know. How'd they know?

Look at it. Here!

Remember me!

What did I say about making noise today?

Come on, please!

Please. What did I tell you about making noise today?

Please, come on!

It's serious, you gotta be quiet, please!

You have to be quiet, all right?

I'm not asking. You have to be quiet, all right.

Ok, come on, come on! In the kitchen.

Give me the guns! Give me these goddamn guns.

Who bought then the guns to begin with?

Jean, keep them quiet.

All right. Go get the cots, please.

All right. No guns today. Enough with guns.

Why do you need guns to begin with, all right?

Listen, be quiet now...

Hey, Ray. Look.

We've got three days, it's all right. Don't make it so foul, you know what I mean?

Listen. The kids, they gonna drive you crazy. They don't understand what's going on.

What you'd do. Let them say goodbye tonight. And make them go with my sister.

- Believe me, it's the best thing. - They stay here, with their family.

Gaspare has sent flowers.

- So what? You send them back. Screw them! - What does that mean?

I don't know. I don't even know what the fuck is goin' on.

Anyway, he knows what I'm thinking.

Yeah, he already knew what you were thinking.

Come on.

Get out of here, stupid fuck!

Take out this fuckin' truck and get the fuck out of here.

Get this piece of shit started and get out of here.

The poor girl, standing there like a ghost...

Jean, would you put together a plate for her or something. She looks like she's going to pass out.

She's a big girl, she can find the way here.

Let her alone.

Hey Ray, Cesarino is here.

Come on.

Hello.

Hi.

Son, come here.

Come here.

Say goodbye to Uncle Johnny.

Goodbye, Uncle Johnny.

Good boy.

Good boy!

Go.

Let's go in the kitchen.

He's... He's just a kid, son.

They killed him at 22 years old. They killed him.

My baby brother.

Just go in the kitchen, please.

I'm good.

All right.

Thank you.

So Ray, he sends Bacco and James after the ambulance guys.

He says, you find out what the kid said on the way,

you get a positive id on the scum fuck who did this.

As if there's a doubt in his mind.

When they come back, they said the only thing he could talk about

was he shit in his pants.

He kept crying like a baby because he thought he shit his pants.

- "I think I shit my pants!" - "I shit my pants."

The doc had to calm him and say: "Take it easy,

you've got bigger things to worry about".

But no, he kept crying and crying.

They couldn't calm him down. "I think I shit my pants".

Do you think he said who fuckin' shot him?

Fuckin' idiot.

What is Ray gonna do?

The real question: what about that fuckin' crap of Chez.

That's what scares me, the fuckin' loony.

Who?

- Hello, Victor. - Good evening, father.

Sali...

- How are you? - All right.

I'm sorry about what happened. How are things going in there?

You want my advice, father? Forget last rites there. What they need here is an exorcism.

So you went all to the hospital.

We went to the hospital. But to come and get there, the kid was already in the coma

He died in the operation. He didn't got a chance to say nothing.

- I don't know what... - Do you know what the fuck Ray says to me?

"Pop should have been here to see us, he would have been proud of this."

Hello, Jean.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry you lost your brother Johnny.

We have come together tonight

to remember Johnny, our brother,

and to say a prayer for him.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.

Let us pray.

Dear God, we thank you for the life of your servant Johnny,

and we ask to watch over him,

and keep him safe in your everloving arms.

Ray, at thirteen a Jewish boy becomes a man.

They have a celebration

they call Bar Mitzvah; it means "Son of the law."

But this doesn't mean he's prepared

to confront the world as a man. In fact, he's still a baby.

He still carries fears in his heart,

that he must overcome.

The faster he conquers these fears,

the faster he becomes a man.

And the more he learns, the more he gets himself ready,

the more prepared he is to live in this world.

This man...

has betrayed you.

He has robbed the property of you and your brothers.

He has to die because life

doesn't allow enemies to live side by side forever.

If he leaves here alive,

he will eventually return to kill you.

As long as we let him live,

his life will always be in danger,

because he'll be driven by the fear that one day we'll change our minds.

There's one shell in the chamber.

Kill him.

I'm not doing it.

Either you do it,

or we set him free and you can wait for him to return.

Kill him.

Always carry this with you.

Nothing will cost you more.

Why don't you come back inside?

Sure. After the asshole leaves.

Don't talk like that You gotta be in there.

I'm not about to stall with that stuff at this point, Jean.

I asked Helen to stay over.

- Okay? - Yeah.

That was the right thing.

There won't be any trouble.

You go back to the house.

Just bury him and let him take his fights with him.

Whatever you're saying.

Promise?

Promise.

They'll shoot you,

like they shot him. And they'll shoot Chez too.

Where are you going?

What if they come here after the kids? What if they come after the kids?

Get in here.

Close the car.

You know...

What?

You can make those cookies. You need special oven cooking.

Do you know the pinoles, the ones that're up there?

You do have to buy them in America. You know that?

They're very expensive. They're considered like gold dust or sort of something.

And at home, you're able to just find them?

On the ground.

Yeah, you crush them with a stone.

Hi, Jean.

- What's with a stone? - Hi.

The pinoles. You get them on the stone, you press them and you get the nuts out.

You've got to buy them here.

Thank you for the good coffee.

I'll see you tomorrow night, Clara.

Thank you very much.

- I'll walk you out. - Thank you.

- Good night, honey. - Good night.

If there's anything that I can do...

Maybe pray for us.

Jean, to be honest...

The only way anything is going to change

is if this family has a total reversal of heart.
