Til the Real Thing Comes Along (2009)
“Except for Woman On the Run, which he’d seen seven times because that was his father’s favorite, and that was the one his parents showed most often after dinner parties, in the screening room. And when they did, Davey in his Little Slugger baseball pajamas would curl up in his mother’s lap and put his face near her sweet perfumed neck and watch. Unless the party was just for grown-ups and Davey was hurried off to bed. In which case he would wait in his room until he was certain the screening ro...om was dark, tiptoe back downstairs, slip into the back row, and watch anyway.
Davey knew at exactly which moment he should slip out of the screening room, too, and that was right after his mother took Gino in her arms, while the dying gangster was lying there in the street in a puddle of blood, right where they’d shot him, and she said, “Ahhh, Gino, why did you have to let this happen? I thought we were going to have our whole lives ahead of us.… I love you more than anything, and now… it looks like you’re leaving me.”MoreLess
