The Wannabe

In the public eye and in the underworld,

John Gotti has taken on mythic proportion.

Gotti is kind of a working class hero.

Gotti, the reputed head

of the nation's largest mafia family, the Gambinos,

has beaten prosecutors in the last three cases.

For the government, this is a must-win case.

They've said it before, but this time the feds say

they've really got the goods

to lock the reputed godfather away for life.

I think we can end the mafia as an institution

in the next three or four years, five years,

by keeping this kind of pressure on them.

Every day on my wabc radio program,

I will continue to hammer away

at the revisionism that is the Gotti legacy.

In New York, the Gotti trial is the hottest show off Broadway.

Every day at the courthouse,

the dapper don plays to a sellout crowd.

It's not just average guys

caught up in the Gotti spectacle.

A who's who from Hollywood came to Brooklyn to take in the show.

The decision by Sammy Gravano to testify

is certainly a big, big event.

Gotti's brother Peter indicated the affections

between the two men have faded.

You ready to see Sam Gravano today?

You ready yet, sir?

Your honor, the state would like to postpone until tomorrow.

The state's witness, Sam Gravano,

was unable to appear due to illness.

Postponed until tomorrow morning.

Let's not make this a habit.

Also, Mr. Gotti, if you have any idea

who is behind putting these in car windshields,

kindly ask them to stop.

Court is dismissed.

If I want anything done, I do it myself.

Yeah, you always was a fair guy, Eddie.

Eddie!

Crazy! Eddie.

This is one rap you won't beat.

Crazy!

You like to laugh, do you?

Well, here, see if you think this is funny.

Eddie!

Eddie!

Now, who is this guy?

And how are you hooked up with him?

I never figured it out.

What was his business?

Hey, John, how are you?

He used to be a big shot.

I'm ready.

Let's go, man.

Yeah, I see you.

Mierta. You had me waiting for like 20 minutes, man.

John gotti's a hero in queens.

Forget queens, all over new York, all over the country.

The city denied the club a fireworks permit

for the first time this year,

but that hasn't seemed to stop the celebrations one bit.

Neighbors say that mayor Dinkins is doing this

as an attack on ozone park's favorite citizen, John Gotti.

This is Pablo guzman in queens.

News channel 10, back to you.

Pablo.

Don't write the history books yet.

All right, everybody, this one's for John!

John!

Could you light this for me, please?

Give me that.

You're so rude.

Boom.

Who's he? The ice cream man?

Shut up, Ann.

Yeah, you in the communion suit.

You been here all day, and nobody knows you.

What... what are you looking for, huh?

Huh?

Where are you from?

I'm from the Bronx.

The Bronx? Then what are you doing here?

I'm celebrating.

You're celebrating? What? You're celebrating? Yeah.

No, no, no, this is a private block party.

I was invited by junior.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you saying you're with junior?

Am I stuttering? Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Are you with junior? He's with me, Jerry.

He's with me. What do you mean?

Here. You got a problem with my friend,

you go in the hunt club. You tell him he's with me.

Move it.

Yeah, I'll move it, I'll move it.

So, what, you're just gonna stare at me all night?

Hmm?

You wanna split this?

You're skinny, you gotta eat that.

What's your name?

Thomas.

Thomas.

What's yours?

Easy, easy, speed racer.

Not so fast.

Ohh.

You're gonna make me come.

I'm gonna come.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, you feel good.

Come on. Ohh!

Don't... don't come out.

Stay. Ohh.

Ohh...

Yeah, stay like that.

Stay inside.

Kiss me.

You're beautiful.

You're fuckin' beautiful.

It's safe. Quiet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hold on, hold on.

Shh.

You feel that?

What?

It's like it vibrates in here.

You Italian?

Half. My mother's side. Here.

My father's Irish.

That's a deadly combination.

Thomas Lucaze.

We called him three-finger brown.

Could have been a pro ball player.

A bunch of wiseguys buried him.

Al Capone here, too? No.

Mount Carmel cemetery, Illinois,

'cause of his years in Chicago.

Do you know he's from Brooklyn?

He got married there, too,

to an Irish woman, Mae Coughlin.

It's funny, it's like your family,

but the other way around.

How do you know all this crazy stuff?

Nice.

Why, you wanna know?

No.

It won't come true.

You wanna come home with me?

Yeah.

Stay the night?

Yeah.

Well, there goes your theory.

Yeah? Yeah.

You don't know what you're in for.

Yeah, I can handle it. Yeah.

Yeah? Yeah.

Come here.

Got me excited now.

Hey.

Oh, shit. Hey.

You scared the shit out of me. Oh...

I got an appointment at... oh, okay.

You seen my shoe? Do you remember where I parked?

No, I didn't want you to go.

I thought that, uh...

That I'd bring us back in some breakfast.

You got coffee?

Yeah.

No...

That was a lie. I don't have coffee.

But I can go around the corner and get it.

What is this?

Like I told you last night, I'm working on

some things that might help out John sr.

Who's "the twin"?

I can't say right now.

But I got some things in the works.

"It's my family, Kay. It's not me."

My name is rose.

"The godfather."

Oh.

Michael...

Your eyes look like sunflowers in the light.

You know what would be nice?

Why don't you come with me?

What? Come with me.

Where? I gotta go to work.

Call in sick. I can't.

Come on, come with me. I'm telling you, you're gonna love this.

Can I kiss you?

You better come.

What are we doing?

Is he the twin from the photo?

Come on, you'll see.

Watch this, ready?

It's gonna be like a Swiss watch.

One, two, three. There's nothing to it.

Come on. Come on, come on.
