Mob Follies: Chronicles of a Forum Crime Family
FADE FROM BLACK: Interior of Don Barry Corleone's home office - Dr. Glen Brittoli, aka Dr. Roddick Bangs, is seated in front of the Don's desk.
"Don Barry, I believe in my cure. It has made my fortune. I even cured Miss Beth, remember her of the March House girls?” The Don nods, "Yes I remember. Her twitching was out of control."
Seated at the Don’s feet are two ferocious Schnoodle/Rottweillers, Chico and Ernie. Chico sticks his butt in Ernie’s face, "Say hello to my little friend…"
Dr.Brittoli looks away, disgusted and says, "I’ve come to you today because someone, who goes by the initials PZ, has infiltrated my turf. He says he cured himself of all his twitching and he is stealing my business."
Don Barry, sitting behind his desk and petting one of the menacing mutts, asks "So what is it that you want me to do about your problem?" The Doctor gets up and whispers his request into Don Barry's ear.
"That I cannot do," says the Godfather. But Brittoli begs, "Please I’ll give you anything you ask."
The Don frowns. "Doc, We've known each other many years but I can't even remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only son. But let's be frank here: you never wanted my friendship. And, you were afraid to be in my debt. But now you come to me and you say -- "Don Barry give me justice." -- But you don't ask with RESPECT. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter, Rose is to be married, and you ask me to do murder… for money."
The Doctor replies, "I ask you for justice."
"That is not justice; your business is still alive."
"I want PZ to suffer then, as my business suffers…. How much shall I pay you?"
Don Barry Corleone stands, turning his back to the doctor. "Doc... Doc... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had you come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your business would be suffering this very day."
"Don, please be my friend --"
The Don shrugs.
"-- Godfather?"
The Doctor kisses Don Barry Corleone’s hand.
The Don accepts, "Good…. some day - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me, capish? But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day."
The Doctor breathes a sigh of relief, "Grazie, Godfather."
Then Don Barry calls in his #1 hitman, Alfredo "The Scorcher" Barzini, Al for short, "Go get this PZ. Rough him up a little bit…. I mean, we're not murderers, despite what the undertaker says….."
CUT TO: On the other side of town, in a makeshift basement laboratory, PZ and his female assassins, Thelma "The Evil Twin" Mancini (3-time female boxing champion) and Mona "The Southern Belle" Brasi (black belt in Ju-Jitsu) are cooking up some more Zaphotek, a so-called miracle drug that will wipe out all the twitching in all the world and threaten to put a real end to Doctor Brittoli’s trafficking business….
