Chapter 2: Bill Murtaugh

Vinny and Lorraine go to the Boulders to see the Murtaughs. The Bakers are all ready there. "Vinny are these Danny and Kate?" Jimmy asked him. "Yeah." Vinny said to him. "I see that you're still a Yankee fan." Elliot said to him. "Of course I am." Vinny said to him. "He didn't drive too fast did he?" Tom asked Lorraine. "No dad." Lorraine replied. "My cousin Bill is comnig here today." Elliot said to Vinny. "Bill is coming here?" Vinny asked him. "Vinny you still hate Bill?" Jimmy asked him. "Hate is such a strong word. It's more like I dislike him." Vinny told them. "My cousin and Vinny use to play college ball together." Elliot told Mike. "You were on the same team with Bill Murtaugh?" Mike asked him. "He played for Ohio State and as you all know I played for Michigan. So, there's some bad blood there. And now he plays for the GreenBay Packers which adds more fuel to the fire since I'm a.." Vinny started to say. "Detriot Lions fan!" Everyone said to him. "So you guys know why I dislike Bill." Vinny said to them.

"I think that you're jealous of him." Sarah said to him. "I'm not jealous of that overpaid self-centered egotistic maniac." Vinny told everyone. "It sure sounds like it." Calvin said to him. "I'm not jealous." Vinny said again. "Is that Bill?" Sarah asked him. "If Bill's here I'm gone." Vinny said to them. "Bill isn't going to be here for another hour or so." Jimmy told him. "That gives me enough time to leave before he gets here." Vinny said to him. "Vinny don't go because Bill is going to be here." Mike said to him. "Mikey C I can't be in the same state as that man let alone the same room." Vinny told him. "Mikey C?" Elliot asked him. "Long story short Michael Corleone from The Godfather." Mike told him. "I still don't get it." Elliot said to him. "Michael Corleone was called Mikey C and since my middle name is Christopher, Vinny calls me Mikey C." Mike explained. "Because that's one of Vinny's favorite movies." Elliot said to him. "You got it now?" Mike asked him. "Sort of." Elliot said to him.

Vinny is walking out the front door before Bill can arrive. As Vinny opens the door he sees Bill and Vinny shuts the door in his face. "Was that Bill?" Daniel asked him. "Who else would Vinny shut the door on?" Jimmy then asked Daniel. "I can think of another person Vinny might do that to." Sarah said to them. "Vinny get away from the door so Bill can get in." Jimmy said to him. "Whatever." Vinny said as he locked the door. "Unlock the door." Tom then said to him. "Damn." Vinny said outloud. "What did I tell you in the car?" Lorraine asked him. "No more cursing." Vinny said to her. "And what did you do?" Lorraine then asked him like he's a child. "I said 'damn'." Vinny told her. "Vinny no more cursing. From now on everytime you curse you have to put twenty dollars into this swear jar." Lorraine said handing him a jar labeled "Swear Jar". "Are you kidding me?" Vinny asked her. "No. This is the only way that you'll stop cursing." Lorraine told him. "I'm not putting any money in that god damn jar." Vinny told her. "That's twenty bucks into the jar." Lorraine told him pointing to the jar. Vinny puts a dollar in the jar. "Where's the rest of it?" Sarah asked him. Vinny takes the dollar out and puts a twenty dollar bill into the jar. "Isn't anyone going to let Bill in?" Kate asked them. "Why?" Vinny then replied. "Move. I'll do it." Jimmy said to Vinny. Vinny goes out towards the back door. Jimmy lets Bill in.

"Is that Vinny DiMiranda?" Bill asked as he saw Vinny inches from the back door. 'If I don't turn around he won't know it's me.' Vinny thought to himself. "Yeah that's him." Sarah said to Bill. 'Damn!' Vinny thought to himself as Bill walked over to him. "Vinny DiMiranda it's been a long time since we last saw each other." Bill said to him. "Not long enough." Vinny said to him. Bill laughs at what Vinny said. "This guy always joking around." Bill said to Sarah. "I don't think Vinny's joking. Look at his face." Mike said to Jake quietly. "Dude, that's the most serious face I ever saw on Vinny." Jake said to him. "I think Vinny is going to punch him in the face." Elliot told them overhearing what they were saying. "Oh man. His hand is in a fist and everything. He even has that glare he gave Hank before he karate flipped him." Jake said to him. "That was so cool." Mike told them. "I know it was." Jake then told him. "Who's Hank and why did Vinny karate flip him?" Elliot asked them. "Hank was Nora's old boyfriend before she met Bud. Hank started a fight with Vinny. So, Vinny karate flipped him." Jake explained. "I hope he doesn't karate flip my cousin." Elliot told them. "He can't take your cousin anyway." Sarah said to Elliot. "Have you ever seen Vinny fight? He's like a bulldog that won't quit." Jake said to her.

Bill says hello to everyone and him and Vinny go outside to talk alone. "Still the same guy after all these years." Bill said to him. "I thought training camp was this month for the NFL?" Vinny asked him. "I'm holding out until they restructure my contract and give me the money I deserve." Bill told him. "I guess you'll be making less then five million a year." Vinny said to him. "I make seven million a year and I want to make ten million a year." Bill told him. "Still the same money hungry asshole aren't you?" Vinny asked him. "I'm not a money hungry anything. I just want to make the money I deserve. By the wayhow's your little sports store doing?" Bill asked him. "It's not little anymore. I'm making over half a billion dollars a year. There's a DiMiranda's in 48 of the 50 states. I'm not putting one in Alaska too cold. And Hawaii has too many volcanoes." Vinny said to him. "That's just outstanding. You can see how excited I am for you." Bill told himwith a bored look on his face. "What's wrong Bill not enough about you?" Vinny asked him. "It actually wasn't enough about me." Bill told him as he walked back inside. Vinny just sits outside by himself and thinks about how much he really hates Bill. Vinny walks back inside and puts twenty dollars into the swear jar. "You cursed again didn't you?" Lorraine asked him. "Yup." Vinny replied as he walked by her.
