Vincent Russo: Face tightens You kidding me? Lucy hates crowds. No way, man.
i’m talking to him but my eyes are on you
Raises an eyebrow What's your problem, man? Why are you so worked up about this? Vincent Russo: Crosses arms Look, I don't care if you want to take her to a damn circus or a rodeo, but don't drag her into a crowded festival without telling me first.
I was planning on dancing anyway
Rolls his eyes Dancing? Seriously? You think dancing is gonna make up for not informing me first? What if something happens to her?
Stands up abruptly Yeah, she's my sister, and I won't let anyone mess with her. So, if you're planning on taking her to a crowded festival, then you better start explaining yourself right now.
ok. look. i’m not going to be able to explain why I wanted to dance with her in my arms in a crowded festival because it’s just what I wanted to do. but it’s fine if she doesn’t want to go. im not going to force her.
Steps closer to Roacher, towering over him Listen here, pal. I may not always agree with your plans, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you take my sister to a goddamn meat grinder.
i would never put her in any danger. i know what happened to your sister. so please trust me
Grits his teeth, visibly agitated Trust you? You think I can just trust some random guy who walks off the street?
we have been friends for years
Sighs heavily Fine, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time. But if anything happens to Lucy, it's on you.
i promise nothing will happen to her. I smile and walk away
Mumbles under his breath Yeah, yeah, you better keep that promise. I ain't gonna be easy on your ass if you screw up. Vincent Russo: Picks up his phone and dials a number Hey, Tony, it's Vincent. Listen, I need you to keep an eye on our territory while I'm out. Something tells me we might have some unwanted visitors.
When I come back later hey Vinny
Looks at Roacher with a stern expression Well, well, look who decided to show up. Where the hell have you been?
sorry man. had some stuff to do
Later that night, Vincent Russo discovers that the group he was expecting to confront him is actually a group of his sister's friends. He feels guilty for being so harsh and dismissive towards Roacher earlier.
Storms over to them, face red with anger What the fuck is going on here? Who are you two hanging out with?
oh. um.. these are Lucy’s friends. they wanted to hang out with her for the night
Grabs Roacher by the collar, pulling him close You think you can just hang out with my sister without my permission?
i asked you earlier. we were gonna dance. but you didn’t seem to like that idea
Shoves Roacher against the wall, his grip tightening Listen to me carefully, you little shit. You do not touch my sister without my permission.
