Act One Scene Eight

TOMMY enters. HE looks around to see that there is no one in the yard and no one on the porch. HE looks up.

TOMMY

Hey Dad… It’s me. It’s your little Tommy. I just wanted to let you know that even though you couldn’t be here today – everyone is thinking about you. Feeb and Lenny did a real good job makin’ the place look good. Some folks are sayin’ it’s because they’re afraid of Anthony. I think it’s because they’re family and they want the best for your little boy.

Maria is going to make a great wife. I know she’s scared – hell – oops – heck – I’m scared, but this is the moment we all been waiting for – for a long time. I just wish you was here and not watching from the skybox.

Anyway – I since I can’t send you no card, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for everything. No guy ever had a better father and – well – I may not have always been the best son, but you never gave up on me and when me and Maria start poppin’ out pups – I’ll do ‘em the same way.

Say Hi to God and Jesus and Elvis for me, will ya? I love you… Bye for now…

TOMMY exits as the lights fade
