Your face right in your soup.
Tony's hand strikes the clock, causing it to fall on the floor. MICKEY CLOCK Comb your hair. Comb your hair. Comb your hair. It stops. Tony is half awake. For the other half to rise, he needs a cigarette. He reaches for the Lucky Strike pack. Empty. More moans. Next he fiddles for his wig and places it on his head. He gets up out of bed. TONY Where's a cigarette? I gotta have a cigarette. He walks over to the fire escape facing the street. He looks down and sees the neighborhood kids hanging out on the corner before school starts. EXT. STREET CORNER - MORNING - KIDS KID 1 Yeah, so's your old man. KID 2 Hey, cool it. Tony's up. KID 3 Five will get you ten He bums a cigarette. KID 2 (yelling up to Tony) Hey, Tony, how you doin'? Without a cigarette Tony looks and sounds like a wimp. TONY Yeah, yeah. Please, please. How ya doin', how ya doin'. Listen, does anybody have A cigarette on 'em? Kid 3 gives others that, “I told ya” look. KID 2 (throwing Tony a cig) Sure, Ton! ... So, how did it go last night? Tony misses the cigarette; it lands on the fire escape and he has to bend to pick it up. He then tries to get his cigarette lighter working. TONY Come on, come on, light already. It does -- finally flame meets tobacco. We hear the lungs inhale, the pause and then the exhale. Tony Clifton has risen! TONY (coming to life) How ya doin'! How ya doin'! So, ya wanna know how she was last night? I'll tell ya... she was just like Sophia Loren... Coulda' been her twin sister. KID 1 (to other kids) Who's Sophia Loren? They shrug their shoulders. By now, Tony is puffing and strutting along the fire escape as only he knows how. KID 2 Tony, I don't know how You do it every night. TONY I'll tell ya, it's all in da foreplay... All in da foreplay. Ya gotta use Your hands. Ya gotta use your Speech. Ya gotta show da woman Dat you're not a wimp. Ya gotta be a man. Y'know... da old technique. While Tony is expounding his philosophy of life, one kid looks at his watch, taps the other two guys on the shoulders, then they all cut out without Tony knowing. TONY And another thing, ya tell 'em da Natural order a things. Man, woman, dog. Ya tell 'em dat an' ya got em' eatin' outta De palm a ya hand. As a matter a fact, She's waitin' for me inside right dis moment. I'm gonna lay a little more pipe before I start da old day. If y'know what I mean! Tony struts back inside his empty room. Sinatra's picture seems to be grinning. SLOW DISSOLVE INT. SALT & PEPPER SHAKER PLANT - ASSEMBLY LINE - WORKERS Busy on the line. As the camera pans their faces, we see bleak expressions mirroring the monotony of their jobs. We end on Tony, screwing the tops on salt and pepper shakers as they go by on a conveyor belt. Next to him is Bugsy Meyer, Tony's pal. TONY (bragging) If ya think that's somethin', ya shoulda seen the chiquita I had last night... As a matter of fact, I had two of 'em last night. BUGSY Two of 'em, wow! TONY That's right, two of em... Just like a ham sandwich. BUGSY Gee. CUT TO KONWAY Another worker who finds Tony definitely not worth the price of admission. Nearby is Aunty Deb, a robust black woman. KONWAY (taking toothpick out of mouth) We gotta get ourselves a radio around here. AUNTY DEB Who needs a radio when we dun got Tony? KONWAY I wanna listen to music, not bullshit. TONY I'm gonna make believe I didn't hear dat. KONWAY (mockingly) Two of 'em, just like a ham sandwich... Face it, Clifton, you've never even seen how it looks! TONY Don't tell me I've never seen how it looks. I've seen how it looks plenty a times. KONWAY Bullshit! TONY (remembering the kids That morning) Yeah, so's your old man! WORKER 1 Will you guys quit it... The boss is gonna hear you. TONY I don't care. He ain't tellin' me I've never seen how it looks. I've seen it plenty a times. KONWAY Oh, yeah? TONY Yeah! KONWAY Yeah? Tell me how it looks then. TONY I'll tell ya how it looks. KONWAY Okay, tell me. TONY It looks just like a...
