Kule mihla, uMnu. Gannascoli waziwa ISopranos ababukeli njengoGay Vito (okanye uGaVito, kwizangqa ezithile ezingaqhelekanga). Umnqa webali likaVito onqabileyo uvalele incoko yangoMvulo-kusasa kunabo bonke abafazi besithembu sikaBill Paxton kwaye Oomama abaphelelwe lithemba shenanigans zidityanisiwe. Ubeka nje, uvakalelo.
Kukho into malunga nokubona kukaMnumzana Gannascoli edanisa kamnandi kwikepisi yebhayisikile kwibar yesikhumba, okanye ukuya kwilam kwi-gay Shangri-La (kule meko, Phila simahla okanye eDie New Hampshire) kwaye uthandane nembonakalo. Umpheki ophucukileyo osuka kwindawo yokutyela-uJohnny Cakes-onike ababukeli kumabonwakude uvakalelo olunqabileyo lokuba babukele into entsha. Kwihlabathi le-hyper-masculine lolwaphulo-mthetho olulungelelanisiweyo, kunye neetaboos zalo ezinobunzima ezinobunzima-kulungile. ukufumana iliso elinenkungu emtshatweni wentombi yakho, kodwa ayisiyiyo. ukulila ukuba ii-Feds zikubopha kwakhona entolongweni- ISopranos umdali uDavid Chase wazise umlinganiswa onobuzaza obugqithisileyo obuya kuthi bunyanzele ukhetho oluchazayo kwi-gentler, emva-kwi-coma uTony Soprano.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, bebebaninzi abalinganiswa abathandana nabathandana nababhinqileyo kumabonwakude ngaphambili: wacky Jack ovela Umyolelo kunye noGrace , Okanye uDavid, umngcwabi onengxabano kunye nesoka elitshisayo Iinyawo Ezintandathu Ngaphantsi . Kodwa ingxaki kaGay Vito ivuselele iimvakalelo ezifanayo kwabo babukeli baziva xa beqala ukujongana nobusuku bangeCawa ngo-1999 ukuze babone umphathi weProzac-popping Mafia echitha amathumbu akhe kunyanga wakhe. Ngoku, kwiminyaka esixhenxe kamva, ngumfo omkhulu owahlukileyo onomfazi kunye nabantwana-lo uneliso lendalo lezinto zakudala-ezivumela uMnu. Chase ukuba akhawuleze ngobuqhetseba ubukrelekrele obukhulu besibindi sobudoda.
Umlingiswa kaMnu. Gannascoli, uVito Spatafore, watyhilwa njengendoda evaliweyo xa, ekupheleni kwesizini ephelileyo, ababukeli babebukele intloko yakhe isiza iphuma ethangeni lonogada. Indawo leyo yayothusa kakhulu kunokubulala abantu ababonisa le nkqubo.
Ndibe kwisiphelo esingalunganga se lonto blowjob, Mnu. Gannascoli wahleka. Ukhumbule xa wayeqala ukufumanisa isimilo sakhe esitsha sesini. Bandixelele, ‘Ungakhathazeki, awufi… kodwa wena are bendibetha umfana. 'bendifana nokuthi,' Fumana i-outta apha-uyeke iibhola zekhefu! '
ENYANISWENI, yayinguMnumzana. U-GANNASCOLI owayeqale wazisa umbono we-gay mobster kubabhali benkqubo ngexesha lokufota ixesha lesithathu, emva kokuba efundile Umatshini wokubulala NguGene Mustain noJerry Capeci, malunga nelungu elithandwayo losapho lolwaphulo-mthetho lwaseGambino elaye lavunyelwa ukuba liphile ngenxa yokuba lalinemali eninzi. Ababhali abalumi, kodwa ke, ngo-2003, amaphephandaba axela ukuba uJohnny Boy D’Amato-umphathi wehlokondiba losapho lwaseNew Jersey uDeCavalcante-wayebulewe kuba wayelala namadoda. Ababhali banxibelelana noMnu. Gannascoli. Emva koko babefana, ‘Ngubani igama lale ncwadi?’ Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba babecinga ngayo, watsho.
Xa abahlanganisi babehlanganisene ukuze kufundwe isiqendu apho uMnu. Gannascoli wayeza kuwisa khona unogada, amanye amalungu akhe ayepholile.
[Tony] Sirico [Paulie Walnuts] uthe, 'Ndoda, andizukuyenza . ' Kwaye uJimmy [Gandolfini] wayefana, 'Ufuna ukuba ndithethe noChase? Awunyanzelekanga ukuba uyenze le nto, ’utshilo uMnu. Gannascoli. Ndacinga ngayo, kuba ndibone isimilo esahlukileyo. Ndacinga ukuba uza kuzincama, azithiye, abenosizi: umnqamlezo phakathi kukaMike Tyson noLiberace. ndicinge Ndingathanda yibethwa ngumoya emva koko uyikhahlele le ndoda.
Kodwa ukusondela kuDavid Chase kwakungeyona ndlela. Ndaya komnye wababhali-andicingi ukuba ndiza kuba neebhola zokwenza kuDavid, utshilo uMnu Gannascoli. Ulunge nyhani, kodwa angandijonga ngathi, Kutheni uthetha nam?
I-blowjob yaqhubeka njengoko bekucwangcisiwe, kwaye ngesiquphe isimilo sika Mnu. Gannascoli saqhekeka kwisithunzela esimdaka semvelaphi yamagxa anamagxa (ngaphambili isimilo sakhe sasisaziwa ngokuqhuba isoka lika Meadow, uJackie Aprile Jr.). Kwasekuqaleni kweli xesha, inqanaba lentlekele labekwa xa uVito wabonwa ngamahlokondiba njengoko wayenxibe iimpahla zesikhumba ezigcweleyo kwindawo ye-gay. (Yintlekisa! Wabakhwaza xa eqonda ukuba ubonwe, kwaye ke kufanelekile ukuba aphawulelwe ukususwa.)
Phambi kokuba kuqaliswe ngokudubula kwakhona ngeli xesha langoku, uMnu. Chase ubize umnu. Gannascoli ukufumanisa ukuba ulahlekelwe kangakanani (ngokudityaniswa kotyando, iipilisi kunye Udidi lweFit Club ) ukuze usebenze kwiskripthi. Uthe, 'Zilungiseleleni, izakuba ngunyaka omkhulu,' utshilo uMnu Gannascoli. Ndiphelelwe ngumoya, uyazi? Ukuba nendima enkulu kangaka kulo mboniso mkhulu… ngonaphakade . Andinakukwazi ukubuza enye into.
Kwaye ke ababukeli bakhula ngokuncamisileyo kuVito njengoko wayeshiya umfazi wakhe wathandana noJohnny Cakes, njengoko kubhaliwe yimiboniso yabo bephuzana kwaye besombana, benganxibanga, ebaleni ecaleni kweHarleys yabo emileyo. Umnumzana Gannascoli wadlala ngokubonakalayo, nangona kunjalo, waqaphela ukuba, khange kuncede xa iindevu zakhe zisemlonyeni wam.
Umnumzana Gannascoli wenze ukubonakala ngexesha lokuqala, ukudlala umfana ogama linguGino kwindawo yokubhaka, ngaphambi kokuba abavelisi bagqibe kwelokuba bambuyise njengoVito Spatafore. Kodwa uhambo oluya apho lwalulude. Uzalelwe e-1959 eBrooklyn ngabazali base-Italiya-baseMelika, umama wakhe-owasweleka xa wayeneminyaka eyi-19-wayengumthungi kwaye utata wakhe wayezithengisa ngejewellery. Bobabini bagxininise ukubaluleka kwemfundo (Uyabona abo bafana kwikona-uhlala kude nabo). Ngokufanelekileyo, uMnu. Gannascoli waya eLafayette High School emva koko iminyaka emibini e-St. John's College, ngelizama ukulandela igqwetha lakhe. Ndiqhube kakuhle unyaka wam wokuqala, utshilo. Kunyaka wesibini, ndiye ndabhadula…. Malunga nexesha lokujikeleza, uye wavuma ukuqhutywa kweQuaaludes. Ukuwa emsebenzini werestyu, uMnu. Gannascoli waqala ukwenza umsebenzi wokulungiselela kwindawo yokutyela eLord & Taylor, waya eNew Orleans ukuyopheka unyaka onesiqingatha. Ubuyele eNew York eneminyaka engama-24 kwaye wazinza njengompheki osisigxina eBrooklyn, xa umlingisi ongumlingisi ogama linguTim Kelleher wacebisa ukuba enze uphicotho lomdlalo awenzayo. Umnumzana Gannascoli uyifumene kwaye waqala ngokuthengisa i-ice cream ngenqwelo eWall Street ngelixa wayefunda nomqeqeshi obambeleyo uBob Patterson. Kodwa xa izinto zazingabonakali zingaphandle, wavula indawo yokutyela eBay Ridge. Wayetshaya, esela kwaye engcakaza. Ukuhlawula amatyala akhe, wayesebenza njengocingo lokutya, awachaza njengabafana baseBrooklyn, bafumana ilori enokutya kuyo kwaye bayazi ukuba ngubani onokuyihambisa. Ndingumfana onokuyihambisa.
NGENYE ICAWO YOMDLALO WEBHOLA KWI-1990, uMnu. Gannascoli waphulukana ne-60,000 yeedola kumdlalo owawuphakathi kwe-Houston Oilers kunye ne-Pittsburgh Steelers, xa i-Oilers quarter-back-back yanceda uPittsburgh owayethandekile Ndityala uCody Carlson umsebenzi wam, waqhula. Wathengisa indawo yakhe yokutyela ukuze ahlawule ityala kwaye waphuma waya e-LA ukuzama isandla sakhe. Ndandifuna ukuzibulala, utshilo. Andiqondi ukuba ndingaze ndiyenze, kodwa ndaya ecaweni kwaye bendithanda, ‘Thixo, kufuneka undibonise indlela.’ Ndaziva ngathi uJimmy Stewart BuBomi obumangalisayo -Ekupheleni kwentambo yam. Wenza umdlalo-mnye edolophini yaseLos Angeles-konke kuyabothusa-de umfana othile ekuhlaleni wavuma ukummela. Wahlala kuphela iveki phambi komdla kaMnu. Gannascoli. Ndiya kuvuka ngo-6 ekuseni, ndisela i-Big Gulps kunye ne-32 ounces yekhofi, ukutshaya i-cigarettes kunye ne-wired up kwaye ndinkqonkqoza emnyango walo mntu, ngathi, 'Ndikulungele ukuhamba!' Wayeya kuvuka nje yiba ngathi, 'Ndikulungele ukuhamba phi ? ’
Engoyiki, uMnumzana Gannascoli weza necebo elitsha: Waqala ukweba izinto ezonakeleyo-amaphepha avela kwii-ejenti zokuphosa abonisa into abebeyikhangela-kwindawo yangaphambili ye-arhente yakhe. Wabaleka waya ku-Kinko, emva koko wabuyisela ezokuqala kwi-stoop. Waqala ukufowna ejikeleza edolophini, ezenza umphathi weetalente ogama linguJames Hoving (Ndicinga ukuba uHoving wayengumlondolozi kwenye yeemyuziyam, kwaye yayihleli entlokweni yam. Kwavakala kupholile) owayezama ukufumana umxhasi, uJoe Gannascoli, ukuba abonwe. Waqala ukuzifumanela iindima-eyakhe yokuqala, Imali Yento , Inkwenkwezi uJohn Cusack, uPhilip Seymour Hoffman kunye neqabane elizayo kwi-cast uJames Gandolfini.
Yayibuhlobo awabetha kunye noBenicio Del Toro, owayeya kumkhokela njengokhokelayo kwifilimu emfutshane engama-20, Ukungenisa, Ukubambisana noMateyu McConaughey, oko kuya kumkhokelela kwi-doyenne enkulu ISopranos Abalawuli be-casting uGeorgianne Walken noSheila Jaffe.
Inxalenye yengqondo kwi ISopranos 'Ukulahla kukuba abaphulaphuli bafumana ingqiqo yokuba abadlali abahlala kwiindima zabo abakude kakhulu kwisivumelwano sokwenyani. (Ngubani ongekhe azive etyhafile ukuba angadibana noPaulie Walnuts kwindawo emnyama?)
Ewe, abafana baseNew York, abafana baseNew Jersey…. AmaTaliyane…. Ukhule ngeenxa zonke, uyabona, Mnu. Gannascoli watsho ngononophelo. Kwaye ngelixa uJames Gandolfini kuthiwa uxelelwe yimithombo yolwazi ukuba iidon Mafia azinxibi mfutshane kwi barbecues, ngokunjalo noMnumzana Gannascoli ufumene ingxelo ethile.
Ndinabafana ebumelwaneni bam ngoku bandinika ukubukeka okumdaka, utshilo. Ndandinomfana oza emva kwam kwiklabhu emva kokwenza loo ndawo [ye-blowjob]. Kwaye wayekhwaza izinto ezinje 'Uyinkuku!' Kwaye oku nokuya. Ndandifana, 'Ngubani lo mntu?' Kwaye bathi, 'Ngumtshana ka-Zibani-bani, uvele waphuma.' Bendifana, 'Kulungile, uyimbumbulu.'
Umnumzana Gannascoli kutshanje uceliwe ukuba asebenze njenge-marshal enkulu kumngcelele we-Atlanta Gay Pride, kwaye ufumene iileta ezivela kubantu abathandanayo nabavulekileyo beqhwabela izandla ukubonakaliswa kwakhe.
Ukuba kwishishini lokutyela, ukunye nesini esininzi, wanyusa amagxa. Khange ndibenangxaki nayo-ndingumntu ophilayo-kwaye-makahlale uhlobo lomfana. Ndandinabahlobo ababengathi, ‘andidibani nawe Pha , ’Kwaye ndandisithi,‘ Oo, yiba nesiselo sokutshiza ebharini, ndiza kuphuma ngo-12 kwaye siza kuphuma. Bayathandana abafana abonwabisayo, yintoni into enkulu oyenzayo? Kwaye uneebanzi ezishushu ezijinga phaya-uyazi, iifag hags. '
Wadibana nenkosikazi yakhe kwindawo yentselo eBrooklyn, kwaye emva kweeveki ezisixhenxe bethandana (Wayengayi kuyikhupha ngaphandle komsesane, watsho), watshata ngoJuni ophelileyo. Bonke abalingane bakhe baya, kwaye wayebuyile emsebenzini ngoMvulo olandelayo. Baceba ukuba nabantwana: Njengoko sithetha, watsho nge-wink. Ndimdubule kusasa namhlanje.
Kwaye njengabanye abalingane bakhe, uye wajika kwishishini leencwadi ukuze andise ukufikelela kwakhe. NgoJanuwari, wapapasha Isidlo sokufa , umpheki opheka inoveli esekwe ngokukhululekileyo kwiintsuku zakhe zokubiyela ukutya, kunye nomgca weesosi zepasta kunye neoyile enegama elifanayo. Unombono ngomboniso wokupheka kwezemidlalo, kwaye ufuna ukuphulukana nezinye iiponti ezingama-80. Ukutsala umfanekiso kwikhompyuter yakhe njengolutsha olunciphileyo, wancwina, bendihlala ndifumana iesile ngaphezulu kwesihlalo sangasese.
Isiphelo somlinganiswa wakhe sixhomekeke ngqo kwimali eseleyo: Ukusukela kwisiqendu seCawa ephelileyo, uVito wabaleka uJohnny Cakes kwaye wahamba ngesantya kwiindlela zangasemva zeNew Hampshire, ejija ivodka kwaye emamele iSinatra, de wabetha emotweni emileyo kwaye wadubula wabulala umnini wayo kwangoko Ngubani oye wanyanzelisa ukubiza amapolisa ukuba afake ingxelo yengozi.
Umnumzana Gannascoli unyanzelisa ukuba akasazi isiphelo sikaVito.
Sifotile iziphelo ezine ezahlukeneyo kum, utshilo. Babefuna ukuyigcina iyimfihlo, nkqu nakum. Ngokwenene andinalwazi. Kodwa abalandeli bokwenyani abafuni ngokwenene ukwazi. Uye wathula. Siphindela ekudubuleni ngoJuni, kwaye ndinethemba lokuba ndiyaphila. Ndinemali ebambekayo endiyibambisileyo.
