Chapter 3: Brian Learns Somethings About His Dad's Past

At the DiMiranda house Vinny is trying to convince Matt that he has togo to bed.

"Matt you need to go to bed." Vinny said to him.

"I'm not tired." Matt told him with a yawn.

"That's why you were sleeping on the couch." Vinny said to him.

"I was resting my eyes." Matt told him.

"For an hour?" Vinny asked him.

"I'm up now." Matt said to him.

"Matt you have school tomorrow." Vinny told him.

"So?" Matt then asked him.

"Matt you can't even complete a sentence without yawning." Vinny said to him.

"But, I'm not tired." Matt said to him with a yawn.

"Matt I don't need this right now." Vinny said to him.

"Then what do you need?" Matt asked him.

"I need you to go to bed." Vinny replied.

"I'm not tired." Matt told him again.

"I bet you can't even walk up those stairs and to your room." Vinny told him.

"I bet I can." Matt said to him.

Matt goes upstairs and to his room. "I told you I could do it." Matt said to Vinny.

"Now that you're up there and and in your room you can go to bed now." Vinny told him from downstairs.

"Hey, you tricked me." Matt said to him.

"I know. Now go to bed." Vinny told him.

"Fine but, this ain't over." Matt told him as he closed his door.

Brian walks in the door.

"Hey Brian." Vinny said to him.

"Hey dad, Uncle Jake told me something things about you when you were younger and I want to know if they're true." Brian said to him.

Vinny just stares at him and wonders what Jake told him. He then takes a seat at the kitchen table and Brian takes a seat next to him.

"What did he tell you?" Vinny asked him.

"He told me about the time you guys went to DiMiranda's in New York City." Brian said to him.

"That's true. Even the part about me being handcuffed and being stunned." Vinny told him.

"He didn't tell me about those things." Brian said to him.

"Then those things didn't happen." Vinny told him.

"Yeah they did." Brian said to him.

"No, you have no proof." Vinny said to him.

"You just told me those things happened." Brian told him.

"I'll deny it." Vinny told him.

"So that's a yes that you were stunned and handcuffed in New York City." Brian said to him.

"What else did he tell you?" Vinny asked him.

"He told me that you were arrested for being involved in a pool hall fight because of him." Brian said to him.

"That's also true." Vinny said to him.

"So, you have a criminal record?" Brain then asked him.

"Not a criminal record exactlly." Vinny said to him.

"You went to jail it counts as a mark on your criminal record." Vinny told him.

"Fine I have a criminal record." Vinny told him.

"Who was Bill Murtaugh?" Brian then asked him.

"He's an old friend." Vinny told him.

"That's not what Uncle Jake told me." Brian then said to him.

"He was an old rival of mine from college." Vinny told him.

"Uncle Jake told me it was more then a rivalry." Brian then said to him.

"I hate your uncle." Vinny told him.

"Which one?" Brian then asked him.

"Your Uncle Jake." Vinny replied.

"Why because he taught me how to skateboard?" Brian asked him.

"That and because he told you things I didn't want you kids to know about me when I was younger." Vinny told him.

"He didn't tell me everything you did." Brian said to him.

"The things he didn't tell you never happened." Vinny said to him as he left the kitchen table.

"What else did you do?" Brian asked him.

"Good night Brian." Vinny said as he upstairs and went to his bedroom.

"I'm going to find out one way or another." Brian said to himself as he went to bed himself.
