Scene OneĀ
Papa Cardone: ONLY PROSTITUTES STAY UP AT THIS HOUR? WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE TALKING TO HER AT THIS TIME?Ā
Olivia: She wanted to talk to me cause sheās going through something,ā¦?
Papa Cardone: YOU DONāT NEED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT ANYTHING! THE ONLY PERSON UP IS THE OPERATOR, AFTER A CERTAIN TIME EVEN THE OPERATOR GOES TO BED!
(Olivia is confused because he had forgotten they were long past the days with phones with cords and if you dialed in the wrong number you heard the dreadful noise. There was no operator on their iPhones to monitor the calls, the year was 2018.)
Papa Cardone: (with a little frustration in his voice but still bloating he continues…) Thereās other people who stay up longer than me, so and so stay called me at 12 just to see what I will where to church. Theres really no issue with staying up.
You still have business on the phone.
Olivia zoned out in her mind as he was berating me and accusing me of types of forms of whores and hoochie mamas, she thought āSam is up later than me and on the phone with his girlfriend!! I know because when I wake up to go pee I can hear him!!ā but of course out of sibling code she didnāt utter a word except āokā after papa Cardone was done.
Scene Two
A couple months go bye and Olivia’s brother gets caught late on the phone but not getting as much bereavement as Olivia, she was heated.
Papa Cardone: This is why you can’t wake up for school you are on the phone till 3 IN THE MORNING!
Cologero: Papa I was just on the phone with my girlfriend we sleep at 12am (which was a lie) don’t worry.
Papa Cardone: Girlfriend? Ah okay, will she come over for dinner sometime or is this one of them?
They both chuckle
But Olivia isn’t chuckling
