A scene from The King of Staten Island 2020
Igor
[At the beach with Oscar and Richie drinking and Scott finishes up tattooing Igor]

That looks really good.

Scott

I wish you’d let me do something cooler but yeah. We see the tattoo, a smiley face captioned “Unfollow Me.”

Igor

**** no. That hurt so bad.

Oscar

Another dumb tattoo.

Scott

I like the pain. The pain’s the whole point of getting tattoos. Don’t you just love when you get a tattoo and it hits the bone and pinches a nerve and you’re like “Ah!”

Igor

I’m not a fan of the pain.

Richie

You shouldn’t let him do it to you. He’s inconsistent.

Oscar

That tattoo’s dumb.

Igor

Y’all should’ve told me when you saw the design.

Oscar

It says “Unfollow Me.” You don’t even have that many followers.

Igor

Carla follows me.

Richie

Bro, she’s imaginary!
Scott: Carla not real, dude.

Richie

How many times do we have to say this? Oscar punches a bug.

Oscar

I hate bugs, dog. I’m a gangster!

Scott

That’s a bee, bro!

Oscar
[Oscar spots Raymond's son; Harold, a nine-year-old boy nearby]

There’s a kid down there. Yo, kid!

Scott

Oh shit, there is a kid.

Oscar

What’re you doing? You hanging out on the beach? Come here. Don’t be shy. No stranger danger here. I’m not gonna touch you.

Scott
[Harold walks over]

What’s up, pal?

Oscar

What’re you doing?

Harold

Looking for my friend.

Scott
[Mocks]

"Looking for my friend."

Oscar

You wanna be friends with us? We’re the good guys.

Scott

You can hang out with us.

Oscar
[Extends fist]

Lemme get some of that. Put it here. You gang. Part of the gang. [Oscar and Harold bump fists and Harold spots Scott’s tattoo gun]

Harold

What’s that?

Scott

It’s a tattoo gun. I was giving the homies tattoos.

Harold

I want a tattoo.

Scott

Sure young guy. You want a tattoo?

Harold

Yeah.

Oscar

Kid wants a tattoo. That’s my guy right there.

Igor

You can’t give him a tattoo. He’s a little kid.

Scott

I gotta practice on something. He seems old enough.

Oscar

You a tough guy?

Harold

Yeah.

Oscar

You’re a badass. [Flexing arms] Come on, show those muscles kid. Come on, both arms. Put ‘em up. [Harold flexes arms]

Oscar

There we go. What’s your name?

Harold

Harold.

Oscar

I’m gonna call you Harry.

Harold

Don’t. It’s Harold.

Richie

Hell yeah.

Oscar

I like this kid. I need him in my life. He has structure.

Igor

I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Scott

We don’t listen to anything you say.

Oscar

Why do you even try to give us advice?

Scott

What do you want a tattoo of?

Harold

The Punisher.

Scott

The Punisher?

Oscar

That’s tough, man. He could’ve said anything. He said The Punisher. [Scott shows his phone to Harold]

Scott

I can do that. Is that it?

Harold

Yeah that’s him.

Scott

Are you sure?

Harold

Yes.

Scott

Do I have your legal permission to do this?

Harold

Yes.

Scott

That’s good enough for me. How about you guys?

Oscar

Holds up in court.

Scott

You guys heard it.

Igor

He can’t give consent! He’s ten.

Scott

Now hold still, okay? Because it is permanent.

Igor

Guys, stop.

Oscar

Put your game face on.

Scott

Don’t worry, dude. This’ll just be on you for the rest of your life.

Harold
[Scott leans in and inks a brief line and Harold screams]

I DON’T WANNA DO IT! I DON’T WANNA!

Scott

I gotta finish it. Now there’s just a line. You’re gonna look stupid. [Harold runs away]

Richie

Run little man, run!

Oscar

Goddamn it. I **** believed in that kid.

Scott

He seemed so tough at first but then immediately wasn’t.

Oscar

That’s why I don’t **** with millennials.

Scott

Again, we are the millennials.

Oscar

You keep saying that but I don’t know what that means.

Igor

I regret my friendship with you guys.
