Gravesend (1997)
Sal: I GREW UP IN
A SMALL ITALIAN NEIGHBORHOOD IN BROOKLYN CALLED GRAVESEND. NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE IS A GRAVESEND, BROOKLYN. THAT'S BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS, THE PEOPLE THOUGHT IT BROUGHT BAD LUCK TO HAVE A NAME SO CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH DEATH. SO, INSTEAD, PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT THEY LIVED IN BENSONHURST OR CONEY ISLAND. AND THE NAME GRAVESEND WAS FORGOTTEN. MY STORY'S ABOUT MY 4 FRIENDS FROM GRAVESEND-- RAY, MIKEY, CHICKEN, AND ZANE, WHO ALSO HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN. ONE MONDAY MORNING, JUST BEFORE I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL, 8 COPS KNOCKED ON MY DOOR, AND I WAS ARRESTED AND HANDCUFFED AND BROUGHT DOWN TO THE 6-2 PRECINCT ON BATH AVENUE. THEY TOOK ME IN THE BACK ROOM, AND THEY BEGAN TO ASK ME WHERE I WAS SATURDAY NIGHT. I TOLD THEM I WENT OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, BUT THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. THEN THEY STARTED ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY 4 FRIENDS. I STOPPED ANSWERING THEM. I WAS ARRESTED BEFORE, AND I KNEW MY RIGHTS. ALL I KEPT SAYING WAS MY NAME IS SAL STABILE, I'M 17-YEARS OLD, AND I LIVE IN GRAVESEND. AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE SERGEANT EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T LET ME GO. AND THEY PUT ME IN A CELL ALL BY MYSELF. ALL I DID THAT ENTIRE DAY WAS THANK GOD THAT I WASN'T WITH MY 4 FRIENDS THAT SATURDAY NIGHT. AND I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN GOD. WHASSUP? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE! [EVERYBODY YELLING AT ONCE] WE ALREADY WENT OVER THIS, MY MAN. ALL RIGHT? WE ALREADY WENT OVER THIS. GEE, YOU FUCKIN' MY BITCH. ALL RIGHT? YOU'RE STUPID, MAN. STUPID? I AIN'T FUCKIN' STUPID. YOU THINK I'M FUCKIN' STUPID? YOU GIVE ME ANY FUCKIN' MATH PROBLEM. ANY FUCKIN' MATH PROBLEM. I'LL SOLVE IT RIGHT HERE, MOTHERFUCKER.

YEAH, YEAH? YOU WANT TO GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE THEN, MAN, HUH? [EVERYBODY TALKS AT ONCE] [TOILET FLUSHES] OH, COME ON, GUYS. NOT ANOTHER FUCKIN' SATURDAY NIGHT. Sal: EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, ME, RAY, MIKEY, CHICKEN, AND ZANE WOULD HANG OUT IN RAY'S BASEMENT. HERE'S THE PITCH. OH! Sal: RAY'S BROTHER MARK OWNED THE HOUSE AND LIVED UPSTAIRS ALL ALONE. I DON'T KNOW. IT DEPENDS. Sal: USUALLY EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, ZANE WOULD GET BORED AND RESTLESS AND START TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE. THEN RAY'S BROTHER MARK WOULD COME DOWN IN HIS UNDERWEAR AND THROW US ALL OUT OF THE BASEMENT. FUCKIN' "A" RIGHT I WILL. USUALLY ZANE AND MARK GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT. AND THAT WAS OUR SATURDAY NIGHT. IT DEPENDS. GIVE ME THE FUCKIN' BOOK. IT'S A BOOK. IT'S A BOOK. [EVERYBODY YELLS AT ONCE] I'M A MEAN MOTHERFUCKER. WHO CARES ABOUT THIS BITCH, MAN? SHE'S FUCKIN' A NIGGER, MAN. I'M A CONGO LAD.

RAY, I'M SORRY, MAN. YOU GUYS, WE GOT TO GET HIM TO A HOSPITAL. NO ONE LIKED HIM ANYWAY. HE WAS A DICK. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, MAN. GO CALL AN AMBULANCE. [EVERYBODY TALKING AT ONCE] I'LL CALL VICTOR AT MEMORIAL. NO, MAN. WHY? [EVERYBODY TALKS AT ONCE] CALL ANOTHER HOSPITAL! I WAS FUCKED UP ON SPEED ONE TIME.

I'LL KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS. AND THAT DOG YOU'RE FUCKING. Sal: A COUPLE YEARS LATER, THEIR PARENTS HAD PASSED AWAY. AND RAY AND MARK WERE LEFT TO LIVE ALONE. MOTHERFUCKER. I NEVER HAD A HAPPY HOLIDAY AS LONG AS I'VE LIVED HERE. Sal: HATE IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THE COPS WERE ALWAYS AT THEIR HOUSE. RAY, WHO WANTED TO BE A MUSICIAN, BUT WASN'T REALLY GOOD, ALWAYS PLAYED HIS GUITAR LATE AT NIGHT. ONE TIME, MARK TOLD RAY TO STOP PLAYING 'CAUSE HE COULDN'T SLEEP, BUT RAY DIDN'T STOP. SO, MARK CAME DOWN TO THE BASEMENT WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE AND CHASED RAY DOWN THE BLOCK, AND ALL THE WAY INTO MacDONALD'S ON 24th AVENUE. RAY, ONLY IN HIS UNDERWEAR, GOT AWAY FROM MARK, BUT WAS ARRESTED FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE. GET IN THERE, MAN. HE THREATENED ME WITH A GUN. YO, MARK. COME HERE, MARK! Sal: BUT RAY ALWAYS GOT BACK AT MARK. ONE TIME, HE SLASHED MARK'S TIRES. ANOTHER TIME, HE POURED SUGAR IN HIS GAS TANK. ANOTHER TIME, RAY HAD FUCKED MARK'S FIANCE, CAUSING THEM TO SPLIT. BUT THE WORST WAS WHEN MARK HIT RAY IN THE FACE WITH HIS SHOE AND RAY TOOK BOILING WATER AND THREW IT ALL OVER MARK'S LEGS, GIVING HIM A THIRD-DEGREE BURN. IT'S THE ONLY VIRGIN MARY THAT EVER EXISTS, MAN. AT LEAST IN THIS PROPERTY. WELL, YOU GUYS REALLY CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY. I'M PROUD OF THAT. Sal: WE ALL TOLD RAY TO MOVE OUT, BUT RAY HAD NO MONEY AND NO JOB. FUCKIN' FIGHT WITH A GUN. HANG A SHINING STAR UPON THE HIGHEST BOUGH AND HAVE... OPEN THE FUCKING TRUNK, MAN. COME ON, MAN.

ZANE AND JOJO BECAME FRIENDS WHEN THEY MET IN A LINEUP DOWN AT THE POLICE STATION AT THE 6-2. WHAT THEY DO IN BROOKLYN IS PAY KIDS $10 TO FILL UP A LINEUP... AND GET ONE REAL SUSPECT.

Sal: OUT OF ALL THE GUYS, I KNEW CHICKEN THE LONGEST AND THE BEST. WE WENT TO CATHOLIC GRADE SCHOOL TOGETHER, ST. MARY'S DOWN ON 23rd AVENUE. WHEN CHICKEN WAS 10, HE AND HIS BROTHER DAVID WERE COMING HOME FROM A YANKEE GAME, AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF CAVALERO PARK ON BATH AVENUE, 2 KIDS PULLED ASIDE DAVID'S CAR AND SHOT HIM IN THE FACE. I WAS IN THE PARK WHEN THAT HAPPENED, AND ME AND A FEW KIDS RAN TO DAVID'S CAR. THAT WAS THE FIRST DEAD BODY I HAD EVER SEEN. CHICKEN, I DON'T KNOW HOW, WAS ALIVE IN THE BACK SEAT SOBBING, "THE YANKEES LOST. THE YANKEES LOST." AFTER THAT INCIDENT, CHICKEN STARTED DOING DRUGS AT ABOUT 12. AND AT 15, HIS MOTHER SENT HIM TO REHAB. WHEN CHICKEN GOT OUT OF REHAB, HIS MOTHER HAD MOVED TO ARIZONA, BUT SHE DIDN'T TELL HIM. RECENTLY, ZANE AND CHICKEN WERE TALKING ABOUT MOVING TO ARIZONA WHEN THEY GOT ENOUGH MONEY. I EVEN LENT THEM $100. I KNEW WHO KILLED CHICKEN'S BROTHER, BUT I NEVER TOLD HIM. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY, LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE IN GRAVESEND, I LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AND FORGOT WHAT I SAW AND WHAT I HEARD. I'M GOING TO GO OUTSIDE, TOO. MAYBE SMOKE A JOINT OR SOMETHING. Zane: THANKS, MAN. I'M SORRY I'M LATE, BRO. Tony: WHERE'S THE STUFF? Zane: HOW YOU DOING? COME ON, MAN, WHAT ABOUT THAT? HOW YOU DOING, ZANE? WHERE'S THE STUFF? GOOD, MAN. HERE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

WE NEVER DID ANYTHING SPECIAL, SO HE REALLY NEVER BOTHERED US. WHILE WE WERE OUT WITH GIRLS OR SOMEWHERE IN PUBLIC, WE WOULD DITCH HIM. MIKEY WAS GOOD FOR A LAUGH. ONE TIME, WE STRIPPED HIM NAKED AND THREW HIM OUT OF THE CAR AT 86th STREET IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. BUT NO MATTER WHAT WE DID TO HIM, HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING, AND HE ALWAYS CAME BACK TO HANG OUT WITH US. I STOPPED BREAKING HIS BALLS AFTER I FOUND OUT HE HAD FAMILY PROBLEMS. WE ALL KNEW HIS PARENTS. THEY WOULD FISTFIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THROW GROCERIES AT EACH OTHER. ALL OF GRAVESEND HAD TO HEAR THEM SCREAM THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS REALLY SCREWED MIKEY UP. ZANE TOLD ME THAT THE COPS FOUND HIM ON THE LEDGE OF THE VERRAZANO BRIDGE TWICE, ALMOST ABOUT TO JUMP. I TRIED TALKING TO HIM, BUT I DON'T THINK HE WANTED TO HEAR ME OR WANTED HELP. ALL HE SAID WAS, "SOME DAYS ARE JUST BETTER THAN OTHERS." MOM, DAD, YOU HOME? SHIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME? WHAT AM I DOING HOME? I LIVE HERE. I GAVE YOU THE FUCKING CAR.

WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME, I BEGAN TO HEAR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD HEARD. AND FOR A WHILE, I AVOIDED TALKING ABOUT IT. EVENTUALLY, MY PARENTS MOVED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. NOT TO PLAY THE SYMPATHY ROLE, BUT I GREW UP IN A NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES WHICH ARE EMBEDDED IN THE STREETS, WHICH ARE WRITTEN NOWHERE, BUT WE ALL KNOW THOSE RULES, THE SAME WAY WE KNOW OUR ABCs. AND YOU CAN'T JUST COME HERE AND LEARN THOSE RULES. YOU HAVE TO BE BORN HERE, SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, EAT, PLAY, AND DIE HERE. ARE YOU LUCKY NOT TO LIVE HERE? I'D ARGUE THAT. I'M PROUD OF WHERE I COME FROM AND LIVING HERE ALLOWS ME TO SEE THE WORLD A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. LIKE ANYONE WHO LIVES IN A GHETTO, YOU LEARN WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT'S NOT PRETTY QUICK, AND YOU CAN'T PAY ANY INSTITUTION ENOUGH MONEY TO TEACH YOU THAT. [LIGHTER CLINKS] AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF SHAKING KIDS DOWN, QUESTIONING EVERYONE ALL THE WAY TO THEIR GRANDMOTHERS, THE COPS, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN GRAVESEND, TURNED THEIR BACKS AND NEVER REFERRED TO IT AGAIN. I DON'T LIKE TO GET SENTIMENTAL-- ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE NEVER LIKE THAT-- BUT WHEREVER YOU GUYS ARE, GOOD LUCK. AND IF YOU CAN SOMEHOW COME BACK, DON'T COME BACK TO GRAVESEND. NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW OR HEAR YOUR NAMES.
