EXTERIOR: THE RAVENITE SOCIAL CLUB
Mulberry Street, New York
John Gotti and one of his closest associates, Frank DeCicco, wrap up their conversation after lunch at the Ravenite Social Club in Little Italy. John has finally been accepted by most of the other Five Families as the Godfather of the Gambino Family. Though what he did to get there crossed lines that meant certain death, the rest of the Families are playing it low and keeping their displeasure close to the chest. With business in mind, Frank and John part ways, but just as John takes a few steps towards his Mercedes Benz, he turns around and hollers at Frank to come over.
J O H N G O T T I :
Hey Franky, come here real quick. You know, I just thought about it kid, I told the goomba I'd go and see her up in Rochelle, but the Benz is scheduled for a tune-up in the morning. Ya mind takin' it and lettin' me use your car for a day or two?
F R A N K D e C I C C O :
No worries Johnny, scheduled at the usual place down Canal Street? Don't go leaving any fuckin' condoms in the car my old lady drives this thing every once in a while and I don't want her blaming me for shit.
J O H N G O T T I :
I wouldn't take a chance any place else and you know it baby boy. Now don't go fuckin' it up. That's car cost me $100,000. Tomorrow at 11:00 in the morning, alright kid? And don't worry, the mistress doesn't fuck me in the car anymore.
F R A N K D e C I C C O :
Good! Well listen, no problem boss, here's the keys to Lincoln. I'll call you about that thing tomorrow.
J O H N G O T T I :
Yeah, nowadays she only blows me. Ha!
The two exchange keys and walk towards each other's cars. John makes it first, cranks the ignition and begins driving out of the parking lot towards his Mercedes, riding along side Frank. He mumbles a couple of well wishes and as Frank enters the Mercedes and cranks the ignition, it explodes into flames, killing him instantly.
John slams on his brakes, horrified at what he has just seen. He hops out of his car and begins yelling, taunting the fire with a hurl of insults. Showing no remorse for his friend, he is visibly more upset about his car being blown to bits. It begins to dawn on him the explosion was meant for him.
J O H N G O T T I :
God damn! Fuckin' c*** motherfuckers! That's my fucking new car! $100k right down the fucking toilet! Who the fuck would want to kill me!?
John enters the car again and zooms away, but as he comes into traffic he notices a familiar face in Luca D'Amico, who's in the backseat of a car that cuts him off. Aware he's been seen, Luca yells for the driver to cut down an alley and lose the "Dapper Don". John begins to start piecing the puzzle together when all of a sudden, he hears sirens. Alarmed, he cuts in the opposite direction of Luca and heads towards the Queen's Expressway. The police give chase but it isn't long before John has left them in the dust.

EXTERIOR: CHRISTOPHER STREET PATH TRAIN STATION, NEW YORK
The phone at the Christopher Street Path Train Station rings on cue. Standing beside it, Carlo of the Genovese Family, awaits to hear the news of the hit ordered on Gotti by Vinny Gigante. He picks up the phone on the scheduled fifth ring.
C A R L O " F A T S " S A L E R N O :
Yeah?
U N K N O W N V O I C E :
So, uh, the thing went boom but the Dapper got away. Frank DeCicco sleeps with the fishes.
C A R L O " F A T S " S A L E R N O :
Oh, no. That's a fuckin' whopper there. How could a thing like that happen?
U N K N O W N V O I C E :
Don't know what to tell ya, they switched cars. Worse of it is he saw the No-Nose leaving the scene.
Carlo slams the phone on the hook and curses to himself, scaring a near by passenger waiting for the train. He hastily reaches into his pocket and opens a fresh cigar and tucks it in his mouth, as he heads back up the stairs and out of the station he continues to occasionally swear under his breath.
C A R L O " F A T S " S A L E R N O :
These fuckin' new breeds and their bullshit technology. Back in my fucking day we pushed a button up close and fucking personal. Fuckin' science experiment bullshit and I'm left to answer to the Chin. This is going to bring heat on the family! That son of a bitch from Queens is gonna come lookin' for revenge. It's in his guinea fucking nature.
