Line 8: A touching, heartbreaking coming of age story... with gangsters. ~~The~~'''''A ~~story~~Bronx Tale''''' begins in the Bronx, (a borough of [[New York City]]) in 1960. The main character is Calogero Anello, the nine year old son of Lorenzo Anello, (played by [[Robert De Niro]]) a poor Italian immigrant who drives a bus in New York's mass transit system for a living. This lets the Anello family scratch out a living, but although Calogero loves his father and is treated to sermons from his father about both how to live an honest life and how "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent," the man Calogero really admires is Sonny LoSpecchio, the tough and intelligent mobster who runs the neighborhood and is rapidly shooting up the ranks of [[The Mafia]]. Naturally, both of Calogero's parents disapprove of this, (especially his painfully honest, straight living father) but nothing they do can stop Calogero's fascination with Sonny, the other neighborhood mobsters, or their hangout bar, which is just a couple of places down the street from his own house. Still, Sonny never notices Calogero or the other neighborhood boys that imitate the gangster... until the day when two men pulling into a parking space at the same time get into a fight, one of them [[Batter Up\|pulls out a bat and attacks the other with it]], and Sonny shoots the bat wielding assailant... right in front of young Calogero. Line 47: '''Young Calogero:''' You mean Mom wont let you go either? '''Lorenzo:''' What am I gonna do with this kid? }} * [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Calogero gets the nickname "C" from Sonny and ends up being called that by everyone, except his father, who will not do it. ** And Jane, who likes "Calogero" better. * [[The Dragon]]: Jimmy Whispers to Sonny.
