In the fields of the Lord stood Abel and Cain

Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain

At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame

So he gave it a name

So he gave it a name

So he gave it a name

Billy got drunk, angry at his wife

He hit her once, he hit her twice

At night he'd lie in bed He couldn't stand the shame

So he gave it a name

So he gave it a name

Yonkers.

So he gave it a name

Six minutes. Seven, tops.

Pa told me, "Son, one thing I know is true

"Poison snake bites you, you're poison, too"

East, on the side of the parkway.

At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins

MAN". Is that Palmer?

No, I think that's Tuckahoe.

MAN". Now west.

Getty Square.

Do you wanna go around again? Yeah.

The zoning board has attached certain conditions

to its own approval of the special exception subject to this council's approval...

Thanks, Kathy.

- Are council meetings all this boring? - Most.

That's, um, Mr. Oxman?

Harry. Over there. You didn't meet him yet?

No, not yet. I heard about the job from Father Duffell at Saint Peter's.

Mr. Oxman's a Democrat, right?

In Yonkers, parties don't matter.

Whoever controls the majority of the council controls the city.

Angelo Martinelli, the mayor, he's Republican.

He's been around forever. Has most of the council voting with him.

The Republicans were really pissed at Martinelli,

especially Nick Longo, right there.

the Rules Committee and adopt the measure...

Hey, how are you?

Good. How are you?

Thank you, Councilwoman Restiano.

Nick Wasicsko.

He was a county cop who ran in the 7th Ward.

- Hmm. - First-termer.

If your mother needs a handicap space, you just let me know,

'cause I got these parking people on the speed dial, all right?

- Lives with his mother. - (CHUCKLES)

Is Mr. Wasicsko here?

Councilman Wasicsko.

Right here, Mr. Mayor.

- Just give me a call. - I will.

- Thank you. - Yeah. Sorry.

One second.

Sorry, SOFFY-

Uh, Mr. Mayor, Resolution 143.

Deals with traffic safety along Yonkers Avenue between...

I want to get one more good look at the projects.

Which ones? Schlobohm.

Those?

Yeah, right there. Right downtown. There you go.

Yeah.

See, I told you!

What the fuck is that, nigga?

Go ahead, motherfucker. That's it, man.

Go ahead.

See, I told you, B.

Nah, shit, boy! I told you.

I told you.

No, but you changed it. - (DOG BARKING)

No! I want to turn on the TV.

- But you chose the channel yesterday. - No.

No. No.

I want to watch. No, you don't.

Guys, please.

I hate this show.

Mommy?

But why wait? I want fun now.

First, the car colors need a tune-up...

All I'm saying is it would be a good thing if you and Tasha could get out of Schlobohm.

This place ain't gonna get no better.

You want Lorna Doones or Nilla Wafers?

I'm serious, Ma.

Now, there are other places besides Schlobohm for black folk.

You think School Street project's gonna be any better?

- Or Mulford? - An apartment, Ma.

Now, I can help you with the rent.

Like you like it.

I came here to visit,

not to have my mama pack me a bag lunch like a schoolboy.

- Go build some nice cars today. - Minivans, Ma.

We build minivans up in Tarrytown. I told you.

Good ones.

Y'all build the best little vans money can buy, I'm sure.

- Come here. - (CHUCKLING)

- Love you, Ma. - Mmm-hmm.

You want a moment for yourself, don't you, Nicky?

Not really.

I can tell.

Go on, talk to him.

All right.

So, uh, what's new with you?

Uh, me?

You know, same old bullshit.

Traded a vote with Oxman on a parking ordinance.

I, um...

I got a bill in with Martinelli to name the senior center.

Housing resolution's coming up again. That should be shit in a bag.

But nothing's easy, you know?

We all got problems.

Except you. Right, Pop?

- Hey, Tommy. - Councilman.

Hey, you coming to kiss the ring? For what, gold shield?

Nah. Council agenda for Tuesday.

How else would you guys know how to vote if Ralph don't tell ya?

Hey, Joni. Mr. Arred should be expecting me.

- I'll let him know you're here. - All right, thanks.

Hey, young Charlie Cola, as I live and breathe.

I just left your dad over at the hall.

You up here for what?

Nothing, really.

Councilman Wasicsko is here.

Okay, well, good luck with that.

Mr. Arred's ready for you.

Oh, all right.

I don't know. I don't see it, Ralph.

Martinelli's been in there for six terms.

- Enough is enough, maybe. - The guy owns a printing company.

He can paper the city with campaign literature a dozen times over.

Look, I'm not gonna bullshit you.

Angelo's strong.

But who knows?

Right guy at the right time?

You got two years on the council and no enemies so far.

How old are you?

Uh, I'll be 28 in May.

Christ.

You got plenty of time, even if it doesn't work this run.

I'm really not seeing it, Ralph.

Why? Why run me for mayor?

Nick, look, this redistricting, I got two Democrats, two good votes,

you and Frank McGovern who are gonna be primarying each other.

Yeah, okay, well, then run McGovern for mayor

and let me hold down my council seat and, you know, you run Frank against Martinelli.

I don't see Frank that way.

Look, I'll raise you some money, Nick.

Enough to make a respectable run. Say, 40 grand.

I'm not gonna throw you to the wolves here, Nick.

You got a real shot at this, maybe.

Councilman Mangieri. Here.

Councilwoman McKirgan. Here.

Not so boring tonight, huh?

Councilman Fay. Here.

Councilwoman Restiano. Here.

Councilman Spallone.

I was there, Bobby. You don't think I wasn't there?

I watched the Bronx die

from what this idiot judge is trying to shove down our throats.

Councilman Spallone! - Yeah, yeah. I'm here.

All present, Mr. Mayor.

First item, then.

Resolution number 69, Mayor Martinelli

and Vice Mayor Oxman sponsoring.

In the matter of court ordered housing

'm the case of The United States

- (CROWD BOOING) - and the NAACP v. City of Yonkers.

ls there any discussion?

Yeah, there's something I'd like to discuss, Mr. Mayor.

I'd like to discuss the fact that what this judge is doing

is nothing short of social engineering

by someone who doesn't live anywhere near our neighborhood.

- The fact is that we lost that lawsuit. - (CROWD BOOING)

The decision before us tonight is clear.

The choice is to be responsible to the people who elected us.

Well, I, for one, am not gonna be intimidated
