| Martini: How far back can you go? Mark: Oh pretty far, don't worry. Martini: How bout when your mother used to take us all to school? Mark: Hah heh heh! Yeah, you're not sick . . . what was it in that blue Buick? Martini: Of course. First we had to drop yous off to St. John, then we'd end up at Mt. Carmel. Mark: Yer gone. Martini: Did you ever play any night games? Mark: I think so . . . yes we did. We used to go til around 9 or 9:30 in the summertime . . . y'could hardly see. Martini: Who would you see during those times? Mark: Ah I dunno, me, my brother, Ray and Kevin, Augie . . . bunch a guys . . . Sam. Then we'd all kill each other to get to Aunt Anna's spigot! Martini: Hahhehe, classic. Now what was it usually like three on three? Mark: Yeah, somethin like that, guys would sit and play winners. Sometimes there'd be ten, twelve guys there. Martini: Let's talk about the bench. Mark: Oooohhh! That's IT baby! Martini: You better believe it. Mark: That's where it's at. Martini: You guys ever take shots off it? Mark: I thought Pucci was the only one who did that. Heh heh hahh! I think Joey took a few shots from the top a that Hut, though. Martini: The old Hut? Mark: Ayyy, any of em. Martini: Tell me about some funny moments. Mark: I got one for ya. The one game, Mark Pucci was playin. At that time he was just a little guy. I dunno whether he had a cold or what, but somebody passed em the ball, and he tries to make a fast pass, right? He jerks his head hard in one direction, the most disgusting ball of snot hits my brother about chest high! Heheee heee heh, I was dyin! Thing had to fly five feet! Martini (dying laughing): Ohh . . ahh christ . . . holy shit that's funny. What'd Joey do? Mark: Heh what's he gonna do? . . . That Pucci, boy . . . Where's that bird at these days? Martini: Well, not exactly at the Court. Mark: Heh heeh, well I know that. Martini: He's actually trying to cut a deal with a construction company that may resurface the Court for free. Mark: Ahhhh my god, are you WACKO or what? Martini: Question: If Aunt Anna's spigot was occupied, would anyone run to Billy's? Mark: Yeah, probably. Martini: But the distance is greater. Mark: You know, is it? . . . Yeah, I guess it is, yeah. Not by much though. Guys used to shoot from Ralph's garden. Martini: Come on. Mark: He probably didn't like that I don't think. Yeah, christ Joey loved that corner by Billy's shed. That was the thing, wasn't it? to see how close you could get to the shed and make a swish. Martini: That's a tough shot. Now Joey liked that corner, enna? Mark: I wanna say that was his shot. Martini: I had the opportunity to shoot with Alex and Leo last summer. They didn't look bad. Mark: Oh they're tough. Martini: Whatta they make outta the Neighborhood? Have you taught em a little bit about where they came from, what things were like? Mark: As much as I can, yeah. They go all around too. Alex says he likes comin over yer place. Martini: Him, Sarah, and Leo have open invitations. Mark: Thanks. Martini: Have you gotten over the fence? Mark: What? Whose? Cindy's? Ayyyyyyy, I thought Alex was the one who got over that fence . . . or under it, at least, right? Hee hee heh! Martini: Are you bitter at all about it? Mark: Nah . . . Mart, if that's what she wants to do . . . whatever trips her trigger, know what I mean? Martini: You think she'll electrify it so Alex can't get under that panel? Mark: She might. Martini: 'djyou tell the kids to give em a little agitation over there or what? Mark: Absolutely not. Why? Martini: Oh, no . . . I just thought maybe you gave Alex the green light to like shit in her driveway or somethin. Mark (bursts out laughing): You are sick, boy. Martini: Mark Orlando: a true player and enthusiast with a history on the Court second to none. Mark: I hope so. Martini: My cousin, it has been a pleasure and an honor. Mark: Thanks. |
