The scene fades in to a Movie theatre. It is about 10:45 PM, and the late showing of the classic movie "Scarface" is playing. The camera pans down to the rows of seats and most of them are empty. Some people are scattered around the theatre, most of them are asleep do to the long and drawn out movie. The camera then pans to the left and Nicky Santoro can be seen with a few friends. He has his arm around a girl and sitting next to him is his brother, Joey Santoro. Next to Joey is Jimmy. And next to him is another girl.
[ Nicky ]: Hey what's with this movie?
Joey: What? It's a classic.
[ Nicky ]: Classic? How can you say this is a classic?
Jimmy: He's right Nicky, it is a classic movie. Why, what is wrong with it? It doesn't fit your standards or wha?
[ Nicky ]: No it doesnt. How can you say that it is a classic, when the whole story is about a fuckin' degenerate cuban border jumpin coke head? Eh? What's this world commin to?
Joey: It's a good story.
Jimmy: Hey Nicky, who are you fighting next week, at Strikeout. You know that we are coming again.
[ Nicky ]: They got me in this triple threat match, with these two degenerates. One guy calls hmself cashnmoney, and the other guy is the one I fought last week. It's really no big deal. I mean these guys are just rookies trying to get at my belt.
Joey: You got a belt? My brother is a champion?
[ Nicky ]: Oh shit, I didn't tell you? I didn't tell you? Yea I'm the Ringmaster Champion. The belt is at my house in this special display case I had speciall ordered, and I don't plan on losing it any time soon, so I got in mounted on my fuckin' mantle. Above the fireplace.
Jimmy: That's really great. You know, I had a great time last Saturday, you had a good match. Except for that prick Cash.
[ Nicky ]: Jimmy, don't worry about him. He's a mutt he's nothing. Actually he's bringing it on himself, challenging me. Nicky "The Ringmaster" Santoro.
Joey: I like that name. Nicky "The Ringmaster" Santoro. It rolls off your tounge.
[ Nicky ]: Thanks I thought of it myself. It's catchy isn't it? I think so.
Jimmy: Yea it sounds good. You deserve that belt.
[ Nicky ]: Thanks.
Jimmy: It reminds me of my boxing days. I was the Altantic Champion at one time.
[ Nicky ]: That's great Jimmy. Hey if you wanna get in the ring, I can have it aranged at WWW.
Jimmy: Really?
[ Nicky ]: Yea, we can be tag team partners.
Jimmy: Well I'd have to think about it.
[ Nicky ]: Well think fast, cause I already said that you would do it.
Jimmy: Ok, I'll start working out.
[ Nicky ]: Good. I don't know when our first match will be, but you have enough time to get into shape.
Joey: Nicky, tell me more about this match you have next Saturday.
[ Nicky ]: Well It's a triple threat match, so It is three guys, every man for himself. And it's me, vs Cashnmoney, and Alkatrazz. Like i said, no big deal. They're taking on the ringmaster here. I got a clean record, undefeated, and I plan on keeping it that way. Untarnished. I'm 2-0. But these guys are in for it really, I have been training at the gym, and I'm getting stronger and more agile. I have been learning some moves. I got this new trainer, him name is Donnie Anderson. He's fuckin' great. So, Alkatrazz and Cash are gonna be in a world of hurt next Saturday. But, hey what can I say, that's the way theu wanted it.
Joey: Well go easy on them they are just rookies.
[ Nicky ]: Easy? Are you crazy? I ain't goin easy on nobody!
Joey: Hey it was a joke, A joke!
[ Nicky ]: Ok, ok.
Nicky relaxes in his chair, he leans back and watches the movie. It is at the part where Tony Montana is talking to the cop in the Nightclub.
[ Nicky ]: Man this movie is too long, and I'm bored. I'm going to get some popcorn. I'll be right back.
Nicky looks over at his new girlfriend that he has his arm around,
[ Nicky ]: I'll be right back sugar. You want anything? Anything at all.
Joey takes a drink of his soda and then puts it down.
Joey: Nicky, get me some popcorn too.
[ Nicky ]: Joey I didn't fuckin' ask you. I was talking to my lady friend over here. Not you. Yea you're family, but I just wasn't talkin to you. Next time, speak when spoken to. Alright? Fine I'll get you some popcorn. Let me try again.
Nicky clears his throat and adjusts his tie.
[ Nicky ]: Sugar, you want anything? Baby, anything in the whole wide world.
Nicky starts playing with Sugar.
Jimmy: Aww come on. You're making me sick. I'm trying to watch the movie here. Just go get the popcorn.
Sugar: Yea baby I want a soda.
[ Nicky ]: Ok sugar. Anything for you.
Nicky Smiles. He gets up from his seat and slowly walks in the dark movie theatre over to the center aisle and starts walking up to the enterance. He walks out of the dingy theatre into the lobby and is hit by the light. He shields his eyes, and walks over the the bathroom.
[ Nicky ]: Man I gotta piss.
He walks through the door only to see that every urinal and stall is occupied.
[ Nicky ]: Oh this is great. This is just great.
A stall opens up and Nicky takes advantage. He walks in closes the dopr, and relieves himself. He comes out after a minute and washes his hands. He fixes his shirt, tie and hair in the large mirror over the sink.
[ Nicky ]: Oh I am so good looking!
Nicky walks out into the lobby again, and up to the consession stand.
[ Nicky ]: Hey I would like two popcorns and a soda.
The attendant is busy with another customer and doesn't hear Nicky.
[ Nicky ]: Hello! I would like two popcorns and a soda.
The stand attendant is still busy and still, no answer.
[ Nicky ]: That's ok, I am a reasonable man, I'm calm. Hello! Can I get some service here?
Nicky rings the bell on the counter three times and still doesn't get an answer.
[ Nicky ]: Motherfuck! This is bullshit.
Nicky leaves the consession stand area and walks with a purpose into the dark movie theatre. He walks down the aisle, and back to his row of seats. He slowly walks back to his seat stumbling on other people and then sits down.
Joey: What happened? No popcorn?
[ Nicky ]: No, no popcorn. No nothing. That mutt up at the stand wouldn't give me the time of day. I say "Could I get some popcorn and a soda?" No answer. I say it again, no answer. Them I ring the fuckin' bell, and guess what?
Joey: No answer.
[ Nicky ]: Right.
Sugar: No that's not right.
[ Nicky ]: No shit. And I'm not gonna stand for that.
Sugar is the type of girl that just goes along with anything. She is Nicky's new girlfriend, even though he has got a family at home. He goes out with his wife on Friday nights, but on Saturday Nights, Sugar is his girl. She is taller than him, black hair, beautiful face, and the most important part, she is Italian. She works at a bar as a waitress, and that is where she met Nicky.
Sugar: Nicky I want my soda...
[ Nicky ]: I know baby. I'll get you your soda. Joey and Jimmy, let's go up there and get the shit. We'll teach that kid a lesson.
Jimmy: Ok.
Jimmy looks at the girl that he brought with him. Her name is Jenna.
Jimmy: I'll be right back.
Jenna: Ok no rush.
[ Nicky ]: Let's go.
The three men swiftly walk up the aisle into the empty lobby. The same kid is at the consession counter just standng there. Nicky, Joey, and Jimmy casually walk up to the counter and Nicky starts to speak.
[ Nicky ]: Hi there. I'd like to order some food.
Kid: Ok, sure mister what would you like?
[ Nicky ]: Oh you hear me now? Huh? You hear me now? Jimmy can you believe this kid? He can hear me now. Thankyou god for helping this boy!
Kid: What?

Kid: I dunno, I jus.. I just.. just..
Joey: Shut the fuck up.
[ Nicky ]: You know what kid you are a stutterin mumblin little prick, you know that? You know that?

Jimmy: Make that three popcorns.
Joey: How bout you make it four. I'm a little hungry.
Kid: What is this a game? I'm not afraid of you!
Jimmy: Oh shit! He found his balls!
Nicky isn't very amused at a young kid telling him of and neither is the rest of the guys.
[ Nicky ]: A game? A game? You motherfuckn mutt! You.. you fuckin piece a shit!
Nicky jumps over the counter and starts beating the shit outta the young kid.
[ Nicky ]: (As he is throwing punches) How about you listen to me next time? Listen up real good. You fuckin' prick you. No one disrespects me. You hear that? No one.
Nicky gets up and leaves the kid laying on the floor. A mess. He walks over to Joey and Jimmy and brushes himself off.
[ Nicky ]: Let's get outta here. Let's go get the girls.
Joey: Ok.
Jimmy: Yea let's go. I didn't want any popcorn anyway.
The three men rush into the theatre and walk down to the girls and give them the news.
[ Nicky ]: Sugar we gotta get going.
Sugar: Why Nicky? The movies not over.
[ Nicky ]: Lets go.
He puts sugar's coat on her.
Sugar: Where's my popcprn Nicky? I wanted some popcorn. You went up there twice, and still no popcorn.
[ Nicky ]: No, no popcorn, let's go.
They all hastly walk out the back door. Nicky gets into his brand new Cadillac Eldorado. Nicky motions for them to get in. The load up the car, and leave the parking lot.
[ Nicky ]: Well that was fun. You ladies have a good time?
Sugar: Yea it was fun. What's next?
[ Nicky ]: Well I gotta meet this guy from World Wide Wrestling, and I gotta cut an interview. No big deal. What time is it anyway.
Jimmy: 11:15
[ Nicky ]: Oh shit! I was suposed to be there a half hour ago! I'm late.
Joey: Where is it anyway?
[ Nicky ]: It's at Johnny's restuarant. Little Italy.
Joey: Oh, ok.
Nicky accelerates and after a few miles, finally pulls into the parking lot of Little Italy. He parks the car, and shut it off.
[ Nicky ]: Come on, let's get out.
Everyone gets out, and walks into the restuarant. Johnny Alvario greets them at the door. The restuarant is filled with people, and Italian music fills the air. In the back corner, there is a man, and a www sound crew, and camera man. Nicky notices them and waves. The man waves back, and points to his watch. Jimmy, his girl and Joey, sit down at a table and order some food.
[ Nicky ]: Yea yea, I see you. Sugar, I wanna introduce you to some people.
Sugar: Ok that would be nice.
[ Nicky ]: Ok, first, this big man here is John Alvario. Johnny, this is Sugar.
Johnny: It's a pleasure to meet you. Nicky, those guys in the back have been waiting for you, for a long time. You shouldn't keep them waiting.
[ Nicky ]: Yea, yea. They will wait for me. I'm the star here.
Nicky and Sugar walk over to another table that is crowded with alot of people.
[ Nicky ]: Hey, you mudda fuckers!
Tony: Nicky, it's nice to see you!
Joeseph: Nicky, hi you doin! It's been a while.
