A scene from A Bronx Tale 1993
Calogero

Sonny was right. The working man IS a sucker, dad. He's a sucker.

Lorenzo

He's wrong! It don't take much strength to pull a trigger, but try and get up every morning, day after day and work for a livin'! Let's see him try that! Then we'll see who's the REAL tough guy! The working man's the tough guy! Your father's the tough guy!

Calogero

[...]

Oh, I don't wanna hear this.

Lorenzo

You don't wanna hear it, but you're gonna hear it. I might not have any money, I might not have a Cadillac, but I'm proud of what I do and I don't answer to anybody. My mother and father came to this country with nothin'…

Calogero

And they died with nothin'.

Lorenzo

Hey! Don't you dare disrespect your grandparents, do you hear me? They tried to give me a better life, and that's what I'm trying to give you!

Calogero

What better life?! We don't even own a car! We ain't got money, we ain't got nothin'! Don't take it out on me because you're a bus driver! The workin' man is a sucker.
