A scene from A Bronx Tale 1993
Calogero

[After Sonny's funeral service, Calogero goes to Sonny in his coffin]

How ya doing, Sonny? Not so good, huh? I passed the test. That's what I wanted to tell you. She might be my first great one, and I'm going to go out with her. Thanks for helping me. I want to thank you for saving my life. I never got a chance to tell you. They all died. Slick, Alto, Mario, Ralphie, all of them. [hears footsteps and turns to see someone else walking in] Sorry, I thought I was alone. I'm just thinking out loud.

Carmine

That's okay, it's understandable. [steps to Sonny's coffin and crosses himself]

Calogero

See this man here? He’s a great man. He saved my life.

Carmine

Yeah? [takes a long look at Calogero] You're Lorenzo the bus driver's kid?

Calogero

Yeah.

Carmine

"C", right?

Calogero

Yeah.

Carmine

Sonny told me all about you.

Calogero

Sorry, but I don't even know who you are.

Carmine

My name's Carmine. We go back a long way together, Sonny and me. He saved my life, too, once...You don't remember me, do you? [Calogero shakes his head] Many years ago, the fire house? [points to the scar on his forehead] You don't remember this?

Calogero

[remembers]

Yeah, the baseball bat. You were the guy that got hit with a baseball bat, right? [Carmine smiles and nods] Yeah, I remember. I was there, I saw the whole thing.

Carmine

I know, kid. Sonny told me what you did. Listen, I've been away, but I'm gonna be in the neighborhood now, taking care of things for a while. If you need anything, I want you to come and see me at the bar, okay?

Calogero

I think I'm gonna give the bar a rest for a while, but thanks anyway.

Carmine

That's okay, I understand.

Calogero

Was that fight really over a parking space?

Carmine

...No. [crosses himself once more, puts his hand reverently on Sonny, then looks back to Calogero] Don't forget, you need anything, you come to the bar, and you see me. [Calogero nods] ANYTHING.

Calogero

Alright.

Carmine

So long, kid. [leaves]
