Vito: *Reloading*
Fritelli Pony 82: Hey, shoot out their tires.
Fritelli Pony 27: Good idea.
Vito: *Shooting more bullets at the Cadillac*

The right side of the front bumper fell off, and was being dragged on the street.

Fritelli Pony 82: What are you waiting for?!
Fritelli Pony 27: My gun's jammed!
Fritelli Pony 82: Well unjam it!
Vito: *Looking at the bumper* I got an idea. I'm going to make them lose control.
Costanza Pony 54: The traffic's getting heavy, I gotta go on the sidewalk. Hang on! *Turns right*
Vito: *Hits his head on the ceiling* You weren't joking. Look at all those cars.
Fritelli Pony 82: *Also on the sidewalk* How stupid are these ponies? The second that Buick passes them they get in front of me. *Honks his horn seven times* Do you want to die?! *Hits a unicorn* I'll take that as a yes.
Costanza Pony 17: Can you shoot 'em without hitting anypony else?
Vito: I can try. If I do kill someone else, at least the population will be smaller. *Sticks his M16 out the window, and shoots the bumper off of the Cadillac*
Fritelli Pony 82: *Runs over his own bumper* Whoa! *Swerving to the left, then accidentally goes to the right, falls over the edge* FUUUUUCK!!!!!!!! *Lands in Lake Michigan*

No one in the Cadillac survived.

Two days later

Vito: *Walks into Mr. Costanza's office*
Mr. Costanza: Hello Vito. I have a new assignment for you.
Vito: *Sits down* What am I doing for you this time?
Mr. Costanza: I need you to take care of an informant. He told the cops in Fillydelphia about an arms deal we had going on, and half a dozen of our stallions got arrested. He was last spotted in Toledo's train station. Now he's coming here. *Shows him a picture of a brown pegasus* I wish you good luck.
Vito: I'll take care of him for you.

The train that the informant was on was entering Chicagoat's Union Station

Vito: *Sitting on a bench, he sees the pony, and walks towards him* Excuse me, I think I have a deal that you'll really want to hear about. *Walks with him into the bathroom*

Two shots from a silenced pistol were heard, and only Vito walked out of the bathroom.

Two days later, San Franciscolt

Jerry: *Talking to a pony on the phone* Three green ponies. Dark, or bright? Dark, okay. And you said they'd be entering from Daly City in a Plymouth. I'll eliminate them for you now. Please, feel free to call me anytime. Goodbye. *Hangs up* Now, where did I put that bomb?

Jerry got into a brand new Subaru, and started driving towards Daly City. He had a sticky bomb that he would use to eliminate his three targets.

Jerry: Three dark green ponies travelling to San Franciscolt in a Plymouth. It won't be easy, but I'm sure I'll find something. *Looks to the left, and sees the three ponies* I gotta make a U-turn. *Turns left*
Pontiac Pony: *Honks his horn while getting cut off by Jerry*
Jerry: *Grabs his sticky bomb, and throws it onto the Plymouth*
Green Unicorn: Hey, that guy just threw something onto our car.
Green Pony: Let's pull over, and see what it is. *Goes onto the side of the road*
Jerry: Perfect. *Flips the switch, and blows up the Plymouth, also killing the Pontiac pony in the process* About time.

Meanwhile on the news

Reporter: Police are stunned by a dead pony found in the bathroom at Chicagoat's Union Station.
Police Pony 35: We did find two slugs from a Colt 1911. They're very common guns, so it'll make our search harder.
Reporter: Police say there were also no prints left behind, and no witnesses.
Mr. Costanza: Did you do that Vito?
Vito: You told me to kill that brown son of a bitch, so I got the job done.
Mr. Costanza: I'm proud of you. You're doing a lot of good work for us. Keep this up, and you'll get yourself a trip to the Bahamas. All expenses paid of course.
Vito: Very generous of you.

Vito started heading back to his car. His Buick was a 1979 Regal.

Penny: *Running towards Vito* Hey!
Vito: *Turns around, and smiles* Penny! What are you doing here?
Penny: I was walking around, and I thought I'd come visit you.
Vito: I was just on my way home. Hop in.
Penny: *Gets into Vito's car*
Vito: *Starts the car, and drives to his house*

Vito and Penny were watching TV together in Vito's place.

Penny: Time to make that dinner I promised.
Vito: *Watching Penny go to the kitchen* What are you preparing this time?
Penny: One hell of a meatloaf.
Vito: *Chuckles, then hears the phone. He picks it up* Hello?
Jerry: *On the phone with Vito* Mr. Costanza?
Vito: Yeah, who is this?
Jerry: Jerry.
Vito: Jerry?
Jerry: I called the wrong number, didn't I?
Vito: It's Vito.
Jerry: Oh, hey. I'll talk to you again later, but I gotta make this call first. *Hangs up*
Vito: *Puts the phone down*
Penny: What was that about?
Vito: That was my brother, but he called me by accident. *Stands up, and walks towards Penny* It felt weird hearing his voice. I haven't seen him in six years.
Penny: Why so long?
Vito: We were on a business trip in Fillydelphia, when he did something wrong.
Penny: Such as?
Vito: It's best if I don't tell you.
Penny: Okay. One of those things.
Vito: Yeah, one of those things.

Jerry was talking to his boss while looking at the Golden Neigh Bridge through his window.

Jerry: They're dead. All three of them. If their family tries anything else, we'll kill more of their members. Okay, goodbye. *Hangs up* Now, should I call Vito again? We don't exactly get along. *Sighs* What have I got to lose? *Picks up his phone*
Vito: *Hugging Penny when the phone rings* That's probably him again. *Picks up the phone* Yeah?
Jerry: I'm back.
Vito: Yeah, you said you would call back.
Jerry: How much longer are you going to isolate yourself from me?
Vito: Hey, don't hang up. I'll be right back. *Puts the phone down, and grabs a five dollar bill* Hey Penny, why don't you go buy us some root beer?
Penny: *Takes the five dollar bill* Gladly.
Vito: *Watches Penny leave, then picks up the phone* What was the question?
Jerry: How much longer are you going to isolate yourself from me?
Vito: Look, let's get one thing straight. Ever since I can remember, I never liked you.
Jerry: Just because I was the youngest?
Vito: No, because you were the clumsiest. You always made things worse for the family, and ever since that fight we had in Fillydelphia, where you killed cousin Lou, I promised I wouldn't speak to you ever again.
Jerry: Don't make promises you can't keep. *Chuckles*
Vito: SHUT UP, THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!! Cousin Lou was everything to me! When you killed him, you made my life miserable!
Jerry: Everyone else has pardoned me. Why can't you?
Vito: Goodbye Jerry. I don't know how you got this number, but get rid of it. *Hangs up*
Jerry: Ouch. *Puts his phone away*

The next day, Jerry returned to his house after buying groceries. The second he walked into his kitchen, the phone rang.

Jerry: *Picks up his phone* Yeah?
Costanza Pony 93: We got trouble down here! Come help us out! *Gets shot, and hangs up*
Jerry: What an interesting phone call. *Runs to his car, grabbing a Mac-10 on the way out*

He drove to the villa where his boss lives, along with dozens of other Costanza members.

Jerry: *Stops near a tree*
Mexicans: *Firing MP5's at the Costanza's*
Costanza Pony 55: *On an M60, next to two ponies using M4 Carbines*
Jerry: *Gets out of his car, and shoots three of the Mexicans*
Mexicans: Another Italian! Kill him!
Jerry: *Shoots two more Mexicans, and reloads. He uses the tree for cover*
Costanza Pony 55: *Shooting the rest of the Mexicans as they run towards Jerry*
Jerry: *Looks at the pony* Thank you!
Boss: *Running out of the villa* Jerry, come inside!
Jerry: Already figured on doing that. *Walks into the villa* What the hell was that about?
Boss: Mexicans. We've had trouble with them before. They call their group, MS-13. Been coming up here from Los Angeles.
Jerry: Are we expecting more of them?
Boss: With their cars laying out on the side of the street, it'll attract more of them. *Looks behind him* Boris, Q, take care of them.
Costanza Ponies: *Going outside to move the cars*

Three black Fords were coming towards them.

Boss: Looks like they're too late.
Mexican Pony 92: *Shoots Boris with a Famas*
Q: *Returning fire, and shoots the driver*
Costanza Pony 55: *Firing his M60 at the Fords* Get me more ammo!
Costanza Pony 52: Right. Give me half a minute. *Runs off to get more ammo*
Jerry: *Firing at the Mexicans with his Mac-10* Come on Q, get in here!
Q: *Returns from outside*
Jerry: That was close. Are you okay?
Q: Sure am. Thanks Jerry.
Jerry: Get a gun, and help us out. *Watches two bullets hit the wall near his head*
Costanza Pony 52: Here's the ammo!
Costanza Pony 55: *Firing twenty five bullets* Okay, reload!
Mexicans: *Shooting at the ponies upstairs*
Costanza Pony 55: *Gets hit twice* Ah!
Costanza Pony 52: *Reloads the M60, and shoots the rest of the Mexicans*
Boss: Now, it's over. For today at least.
Jerry: How do they get so many ponies in their gang?
Boss: There's lots of Mexicans in Equestria trying to get extra cash here and there. When they try to get a real job, most businesses turn them down, so they resort to a life of crime. Just like what us Italians went through sixty years ago. You may go home Jerry. I need to see if we can get any help from Chicagoat.

Mr. Costanza was sitting behind his desk, reading a magazine about boats, when his phone began to ring.

Mr. Costanza: *Picks up the phone* Who is this?
Boss: San Franciscolt. Mexicans attacked our villa, and I'm short on ponies.
Mr. Costanza: How many do you need?
Boss: Four, at least.
Mr. Costanza: I'll send over a few, including my best stallion. How soon do you need them?
Boss: Start sending them over. *Hangs up*

Vito was saying goodbye to Penny as she began to leave.

Vito: When do you want to see me again?
Penny: Call me tomorrow, and I'll tell you. *Winks* Bye. *Leaves*
Vito: *Hears his phone ringing* Now that's clearly not Penny. *Picks up the phone* Yes?
Mr. Costanza: How soon can you come over?
Vito: Immediately. What's this about?
Mr. Costanza: I'll tell you when you get over here.
Vito: Fine. See you in two minutes. *Hangs up*

At Mr. Costanza's.

Vito: No.
Mr. Costanza: I was afraid you'd say that.
Vito: I don't want anything to do with Jerry. You whack him, and then I'll go.
Mr. Costanza: What he did in Fillydelphia was an accident.
Vito: Everything he does is an accident. Last thing I need is to be teamed up with an imbecile who doesn't know how to use a gun.
Mr. Costanza: You will receive a 50% bonus on the rest of your assignments.
Vito: *Sighs* How can I say no to that? I guess, being with Jerry isn't all that bad.
Mr. Costanza: There you go. *Gives him an envelope* This is the address you need. Inside is your first payment.
Vito: Thank you.

Penny was relaxing in her bed when she heard the phone ring.

Penny: *Picks up the phone* Hi.
Vito: I got some bad news Penny.
Penny: What are you talking about?
Vito: I'm being transferred to San Franciscolt. I don't know if I'm coming back, but I want you to know how wonderful you are.
Penny: I'm going to miss you very much Vito.
Vito: What do you say I stop over to see you before I leave?
Penny: That's a wonderful idea.

Vito arrived in San Franciscolt. Despite the extra money, he was still not looking forward to working with Jerry.

Vito: *Takes a left turn, and looks at the address* Not far now.
Boss: *Watching Vito pull in* Your brother has just arrived. *Hangs up*
Jerry: Thank you. *Hangs up* I'll see you tomorrow Kayla.
Kayla: You don't want me to wait here for you?
Jerry: It's not going to be pleasant.
Kayla: Very well.

Vito stepped out of his car, and walked towards the villa, when he received a warm welcome.

Boss: Thank you for coming all the way from Chicagoat to help us.
Vito: You're welcome.
Boss: Follow me, and I'll introduce you to the others.
Jerry: *Arrives in his Subaru*

Jerry saw them go upstairs, so he decided to wait for them to come downstairs before talking to Vito.

Vito: Thanks for everything.
Boss: Nothing is too good for a fellow Costanza member.
Vito: *Walking back to his car when he sees Jerry* What are you doing here?
Jerry: So you'd rather stay here? You don't want to be with your own brother?
Vito: I never asked to be sent down here. The more time we spend away from each other, the better.
Jerry: So you think.
Vito: I don't know what the hell you're thinking about, but whatever it is, stop.
Jerry: I only want to try and get along with you. Is that too much to ask for? The incident in Fillydelphia is history.
Vito: And I don't feel like repeating history. *Walks out of the villa* I'm going to take a leisurely drive around town. If you're still here when I get back, you will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. *Gets into his car, and leaves*
Jerry: *Shakes his head in disapproval* One day, you'll change your mind.

Vito was talking to Penny on the phone.

Penny: So you really like it down there, huh?
Vito: It would be much better with you, but the weather is nicer.
Penny: I can imagine. *Looks at her clock* I'll call you tomorrow. I need to get some extra sleep for a business meeting tomorrow.
Vito: Okay. I love you.
Penny: I love you too. *Hangs up*
Vito: *Puts his phone away, and sighs*
Boss: *Walks into Vito's room* Vito, I'm assigning you and Jerry to work together on an important assignment.
Vito: Why Jerry?
Boss: Relax, this will be easy. You two will simply escort some capos out of town. They'll meet us here tomorrow morning at 8. Make sure they cross the Golden Neigh Bridge safely out of San Franciscolt. From there, they will go to Portland on their own, out of harm's way.
Vito: Even Jerry would be stupid enough to fuck this up.
Boss: Have some faith in him. He hasn't disappointed me yet.
Vito: Take my word for it. Jerry will do something dumb.

The following morning, Vito went out to buy some supplies. He returned ten minutes before 8 O' Clock. He saw everyone except Jerry.

Vito: *Parks his car under a tree* Eighteen minutes later.
Jerry: *Arrives in his Subaru, honking the horn three times. He parks behind Vito's Buick*
Vito: Punctuality doesn't mean shit. *Gets out of his car*
Jerry: At last, we get to spend some time together after all these years.
Vito: Wipe that smile off your face. If you screw this up-
Jerry: Six years Vito. That's how long ago it was. I think you can trust me now.
Vito: As I was saying, if you screw this up, I'll kill you myself.
Jerry: I have no weapons, and if you want, I'll let you do the driving.

They walked inside, and discussed the entire plan with each other.

Vito: What's our convoy?
Jerry: Two Triumph's, the station wagon, and us in your Regal.
Boss: It's settled then. It's almost 8. You better get ready.

At 8 O' Clock, the convoy set out. Two stallions riding Triumph Bonneville's led the Subaru station wagon, with Vito and Jerry trailing in the Buick Regal.

Vito and Jerry were close to crossing the Golden Neigh Bridge.

Jerry: Not long now.
Vito: Just a few more seconds, and you'll actually complete a job without screwing it up.

Five Pegasi with AK47's flew above the convoy, and started shooting at the convoy. They killed both bikers, but those were the only fatalities so far.

Vito: Come on! *Gets out of his car*
Jerry: Hey, in case you didn't notice, I didn't do anything!
Vito: Now that's the problem! Kill them!
Jerry: *Spots two Ford LTD's coming towards them* More behind us! I got them! *Shooting at the MS-13 ponies*
Vito: Who are these guys?!
Jerry: MS-13! They're Mexicans!
Vito: *Shooting the Pegasi with his M16* The road's clear, go without us!
Driver: Okay! *Drives the Station Wagon*
Vito: Come on, we need to get across the bridge before more of them show up! *Gets into his car with Jerry. He follows the Station Wagon*
Jerry: *Sweating*
Vito: *Looking at the road as he crosses the bridge*
Jerry: *Nervous* Vito?
Vito: Listen, I'm not mad at you. You did well.
Jerry: It's not that Vito.
Vito: What's wrong?
Jerry: I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!! *Crying as he rests his head on the dashboard* Do you realize how frequently I have to put up with these attacks?! Every single hour of every single day! We're not going to last out here very long! *Sits up* Who the hell am I kidding? You probably don't care about how I feel.
Vito: As a matter of fact, I do. I'm getting pretty tired of this way of life. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to try and find us a place to live, with decent paying jobs.
Jerry: Why you?
Vito: Because I'm new here. They won't bother me with any assignments for a while. Got the same kind of treatment when I got transferred from Filly to Chicagoat. Now I want to try, and go somewhere north. Preferably Sacramento, or maybe Napa.
Jerry: Why Napa?
Vito: That's where wine is produced. Wine is expensive. We could probably make the same amount of money we do now, without any of the danger. It should take us a couple of weeks, so hopefully we'll get everything set up by New Years Day.
Jerry: Vito?
Vito: Yes?
Jerry: Thank you for helping me.
Vito: Since we're not dealing with guns anymore, hopefully you won't kill anymore of our cousins.

December 21st, 1980

Jerry: *In the kitchen, eating a banana*
Vito: *Walks into the house* Jerry, I did it.
Jerry: You got us a house?
Vito: Yep. We'll be out of here by New Years Day, just like I promised.
Kayla: *Walks into the house*
Vito: *Looks at Kayla* You didn't tell me you had a marefriend.
Kayla: Is this your brother?
Jerry: Yep, I'd like you to finally meet Vito.
Kayla: Charmed.
Vito: Likewise. Let me make a call. I too have a marefriend, and she's getting lonely all the way in Chicagoat.
Jerry: Be my guest.
Vito: *Picks up the phone, and dials Penny's number*

It was snowing in Chicagoat. Penny was warm in her house when she heard her phone.

Penny: Vito, hi! How's Alicornia treating you?
Vito: Swell. My brother and I are moving north to Napa. Perhaps you'd like to join us.
Penny: I'd love to.
Vito: Perfect. I just want to give you a heads up. My brother, and his marefriend will also be joining us.
Penny: I've been looking forward to meeting your brother.
Vito: Good. Once we get everything settled, I'll call you again with our address. While you're waiting, quit your job, and get in the wine producing business with us.
Penny: I actually do advertising. I can simply transfer.
Vito: Good. That'll be easier for you. Goodbye Penny. Merry Christmas.
Penny: Merry Christmas Vito. *Hangs up*
Vito: *Sighs happily* I know that our future will be better for us.
Jerry: How are we going to cover up our tracks?
Vito: It shouldn't be that hard. Just keep your mouth shut, and don't leave behind any clues.

New Years Day, 1981

Boss: We haven't heard from Jerry, or Vito in a long time.
Q: Vito said he was living with Jerry now. After that escort they gave our capos across the Golden Neigh Bridge, they've been getting along.
Boss: That's good. Let's give them a call, and see if they can do a job for us. *Gets his phone, and calls Jerry*
Green Stallion: *Answers the phone* Good morning.
Boss: Is that you Jerry? Your voice sounds different.
Green Stallion: Uh, this is Brett. I'm afraid you have the wrong number.
Boss: Doesn't anypony named Jerry live there?
Green Stallion: Not anymore, he moved out of town. He said he was moving up to Willits.
Boss: Are you serious?!
Green Stallion: Sorry buddy.
Boss: You gotta be fucking kidding!!!
Green Stallion: I'm not. Goodbye. *Hangs up*
Boss: Jerry, and Vito are leaving the gang! They're going to Willits!! Get a car, with three more ponies, and go find them!!
Q: Right away! *Runs off*

Willits, Alicornia. January 3rd, 1981.

Stallion 95: *Slams his hoof on a counter* This is bullshit!
Stallion 42: Don't give me that attitude. It wasn't my decision. Q said we have to stay here until we find the both of them.
Stallion 95: What if they were lying? We don't know where they are. I'm calling Q.

Napa, Alicornia

Penny: *Arrives in a 1977 Ford Mustang*
Vito: *Walks outside of the house to see Penny* Hey. *Hugs her*
Penny: It's so good to see you again.
Vito: Let's go inside. You said you wanted to meet my brother.

Vito is narrating as he walks into the house with Penny

Narrator: Our new year was off to a good start. Penny continued her job in advertising, while Kayla worked at a grocery store. She also had a simple transfer. Jerry and I started working in the wine fields. Our jobs didn't pay as much as I thought, but that didn't bother me. I knew we'd make more money soon, but unlike last year, we wouldn't have to worry about somepony shooting bullets at us.
Vito: *Working alongside two Mexicans* How long does it take to buy one of these wineries, and make the real bucks?
Mexican 74: More than what we can afford amigo.
Mexican 25: It's somewhere up in the five digit zone.
Narrator: I had enough money, but if I bought it now, I'd immediately go bankrupt since there were other expenses to pay.

Back in San Franciscolt

Q: I don't want to hear excuses!
Stallion 95: We've been here for five days, and they haven't shown up! They lied! Jerry, and Vito could be anywhere in the world! Now we don't know where they are!
Q: I'm sending more ponies over there. We want you to comb this entire state. All the way from the north, to the Mexican border. *Hangs up*
Boss: *Walks over to Q* Still no sign of them?
Q: I gave them the order to wait for backup. Then they'll search this entire state like you requested.
Boss: It won't be easy, but I know we can find them.

Song (Start at 1:05): link

Vito starts this part by narrating again.

Narrator: Our new year was off to a very good start. Nopony started to bother us, but that all changed on February 7th, 1982 when Jerry and I got a letter from Oregon State Police. The police arrested our cousin Harlan for armed robbery, and he was required to live with us since we were family members. At that moment, we knew we were fucked.

Song (Start at 1:10): link

Harlan: *Walks into the house*
Vito: *Nods to the two police ponies*
Police Pony 53: Good luck. *Walks off with his partner*
Vito: Close the door Harlan.
Harlan: *Closes the door*

The song fades away as the conversation continues.

Vito: What happened with those tractor trailers you were driving?
Harlan: I got laid off.
Vito: Why?
Harlan: Fewer trucks. Most of our work was being taken away by the railroads.
Vito: I don't want any trouble from you Harlan. Jerry and I have been doing well since we left the family organization, and we're hoping that it stays that way.
Harlan: What are you doing now?
Vito: We work at a winery.
Harlan: You think I can join you?
Vito: They're not hiring anyone, but I'll try and put in a good word for you. Until then, we'll help you find another job.

Jerry arrived, followed by Kayla.

Jerry: Hello Harlan.
Harlan: Hi Jerry.
Kayla: Another family member?
Vito: Harlan is our cousin.
Jerry: I was actually thinking about you Harlan. Vito and I were planning on going to Los Angeles for vacation.
Harlan: Doesn't our family operate down there?
Vito: They used to, but they got pushed out by MS-13, the same gang of Mexicans that are fighting them in San Franciscolt.
Jerry: They've been out of LA for three years. The five of us are going to have fun.

Los Angeles, February 22nd, 1982

Narrator: After a few weeks, Jerry and I finally got to go to LA for our vacation with Harlan, Kayla, and Penny. We spent most of our time at the beach, and on the boardwalk.

Song: link

Band: One, two, a one two three.
Vito: *Watching the sunset as he walks onto the boardwalk with the others*

The day quickly turned into dark as the five ponies had fun on Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier. Lights were flashing everywhere as they walked all over the boardwalk.

Vito: Jerry, you gotta try the pretzels.
Jerry: Only if you try the burgers.
Vito: Fair enough.

Several Mexicans walked onto the boardwalk. They spotted Vito, and Jerry, and quickly pulled out Mac-10's. Wasting no time, they fired at the two ponies, but all of their bullets missed.

Vito: Jerry, start the car! I'll get the others!
Penny: *Arrives with Kayla, and Harlan*
Vito: This way! *Jumps off the pier with the five of them*
Mexican 49: The sharks'll get 'em now.
Mexican 22: Go check.
Mexican 93: Si.
Vito: *Runs onto the beach with the others* I call shotgun.
Harlan: Really?
Vito: You'll thank me later.
Mexican 28: They're getting in the car! Let's go! *Runs with the six of his comrades*

Stop the song, and play this one: link

Jerry took off in his Subaru. The seven Mexicans quickly got to their Fords, and started chasing down Jerry. Both Fords are gray LTD's.

Jerry: They're chasing us.
Vito: Don't worry Jerry. *Opens the glove compartment, and pulls out a AK74U*
Jerry: How long did you have that there?!
Vito: As soon as Harlan moved in.
Harlan: You really hate me that much, don't you?
Vito: No, I just don't trust you. *Opens the window, and starts shooting at the Mexicans*
Mexican 53: Return fire!
Mexican 61: *Pulls out a G3, and shoots seven bullets at Jerry's car*
Vito: *Shoots the driver of the first LTD*
Mexican 53: *Leans on the steering wheel, and goes off the road*
Mexican 22: *In the 2nd LTD, using a Famas to shoot at Vito*
Jerry: I thought we decided to stay out of this type of life!
Vito: We gotta defend ourselves! This was intended for the family! I didn't think MS13 would recognize us! *Reloads his gun, then fires at the other Mexicans*
Mexican 22: We're losing them!
Mexican 91: *Pushes a Toyota out of the way*
Vito: *Shoots the front window of the LTD*
Mexican 91: Anyone hit?!
Mexican 22: No. *Fires more bullets from his Famas*
Vito: I have an idea.
Jerry: What's that?
Vito: Try getting on 2 wheels to pass those cars.
Jerry: Are you mad?
Vito: No. Hit the jeep, and go on 2 wheels.
Jerry: Okay. *Hits the Jeep, and gets his car leaning on the left side* We're doing it!
Vito: That's good, now pass those two cars, and we can go as fast as we want.
Jerry: *Shuts his eyes as he floors it*
Mexican 91: What the hell?!
Jerry: *Passes the two cars, and gets his car back on 4 wheels* Did I just do that?!
Vito: Hell yes, good job!
Mexican 91: *Slams his hoof on the dashboard* They're getting away!

The song fades away as they return to Napa, late in the afternoon the following day.

Penny: *Hugs Vito* I am grateful that you saved us, but I need to know. What did you, and Jerry do before moving up here with us?
Vito: We were part of the mafia.
Jerry: 14 months ago, we thought we'd make an honest living for a change.
Vito: We're tired of getting shot at. We want to live a peaceful life.
Penny: I hope those ponies will let us.
Vito: They're not the ones I'm concerned about. If our family finds us, we're in deep shit.

Jerry is now the narrator

Narrator: 1982 was definitely a rocky year for us. It was off to a good start, but when Harlan joined us in February, things started to go downhill. Vito even had a few other guns stashed in other spots in case one of our family members found us, and tried to get us back into the life of crime. I even considered moving out of the state, and into the east coast of Equestria, but every town I suggested was recently taken over by our family. Not only were we having problems avoiding the family, and MS13, but we lost our jobs at the winery, and we were getting paid less money working at a nearby general store. I sold off my Subaru to get a cheaper car, and tried to get Vito to do the same thing. He was very hesitant at first, not wanting to give up his Buick, but he cracked, and we both got AMC's. I went for the Pacer, and Vito got a Matador. Several months later in September, everything seemed to be okay.

The song fades away as we get to our next scene.

Jerry: *Walks outside of the house*
Vito: *Following Jerry* We gotta take my car.
Jerry: Why?
Vito: It's more reliable. Didn't you hear that the Pacer's engine is shit?
Jerry: Okay, so it's a V6.
Vito: A poorly designed V6.
Jerry: What about your car? It's also an AMC.
Vito: Let me show you something.

Both stallions walked towards Vito's Matador.

Vito: *Opens the hood*
Jerry: A Buick engine?
Vito: Swapped it from a '56 Special for more horsepower. The engine's been rebuilt, and should last over 200,000 miles.
Jerry: You son of a bitch.
Vito: Hurry up, we're going to be late. *Gets in the car, and starts the engine*
Jerry: I'm taking my car.
Vito: Suit yourself. *Peels out*
Jerry: *Gets into his Pacer* More reliable my ass. *Turns the key, but the engine doesn't start. It then spontaneously combusts* What?!?! *Runs out of the car*

Half an hour later at the General store, a song was playing as everyone was having a good time: link

Vito: *Placing snacks on a shelf*
Manager: *Walking towards Vito* Hey, where's your brother?
Vito: 3. 2. 1.
Jerry: *Arrives, his face covered in soot from the fire*
Manager: Mr. Costanza, what the hell happened to you?
Jerry: Don't ask.
Vito: If I may sir, he tried to prove that his Pacer is better, *Clears throat* I'm sorry, was better than my Matador.
Manager: You're a fucking idiot Jerry. Clock in then get to work. We need more soda at aisle 5.
Jerry: Right away sir. *Walks away to clock in*

January 2, 1983

Vito: *Looking at a long piece of paper*
Jerry: *Walks into the house* What's that?
Vito: Bills. Everything we're doing to save money isn't working.
Jerry: I knew it would be tougher to make money this way, but I thought it would be easier.
Vito: I'm gonna talk to Harlan. He doesn't have a car. Maybe he's been lying about going to work.
Harlan: *Walks into the house* Hello cousins.
Vito: Hi Harlan. What job did you say you had?
Harlan: I'm working at the pharmacy down the street.
Vito: The Rite-Aid?
Harlan: That's the one.
Vito: How're they treating you over there?
Harlan: Good.
Vito: I'm going for a walk. *Leaves the house*
Harlan: *Sweating as he walks to the kitchen, and grabs an apple*
Jerry: You look nervous.
Harlan: I've been thinking about the family coming back from San Franciscolt. If they find me, they'll be very upset. I did something I shouldn't have a while back.
Jerry: Tell me about it.
Harlan: I raped my father's girlfriend.
Jerry: What?!
Harlan: She was only several years older than me at the time.
Jerry: At the time? Did she pass away?
Harlan: Sadly, she died.

At Rite-Aid, Vito looked for the manager.

Vito: *Walks towards a desk* Hi. Do you have a Harlan Costanza working here?
Manager: No.
Vito: Do you have anyone named Harlan working here?
Manager: No.
Vito: Thank you for your time. *Walks away*
Employee: What was that all about?
Manager: *Shrugs*

Vito was very angry when he walked back into the house.

Vito: Harlan!
Harlan: *Scared* What?
Vito: You lying shitbag! You don't have a job.
Harlan: I don't need one. Everyone else is making money perfectly for us.
Jerry: No we're not.
Vito: If you had a job this entire time, we'd be making money. Thanks to you, we're almost broke!
Harlan: Well shouting at me is not helping. I'm also going to get a job, but I'm not working at a store. That's bullshit.
Vito: If me and Jerry can do it, then so can you!
Jerry: Don't forget Kayla.
Vito: Right. If the three of us can do it, then so can you.

Back in San Franciscolt, the boss was listening to Mr. Costanza on the telephone.

Mr. Costanza: Try and find their marefriends. If you do that, you'll have an easier time persuading Jerry and Vito to return.
Boss: My stallions are this close to giving up. We've been looking for two years, and we still can't find them.
Mr. Costanza: Let me help you make it easier. What towns haven't you searched?
Boss: *Thinking* We haven't searched Napa, and it is quite close to San Franciscolt.
Mr. Costanza: Hopefully, that's where they are. Good luck.

At the general store, Vito and Jerry got Harlan hired, and the three stallions started working together.

Harlan: I'll play along for now, but I'm quitting the second I find a better job.
Vito: I don't trust you. If you do find a "better job" I need to know what it is.
Jerry: *Arrives with a cart carrying snacks* Harlan, they need you over at Dairy.
Harlan: I'm going over there right now. *Heads for dairy*
Mare: *Watches Harlan walking towards her* Have you ever done facing before?
Harlan: What?
Mare: All you gotta do is check our products and make sure that the items aren't expired. You want to be sure that the older products are in front of the new ones, that way we can sell everything without having to throw it all away.
Harlan: Okay. The name of this activity sounds stupid, but it sounds easy.
Mare: I'll be in the freezer if you need a hoof.

Harlan started his work, but he quickly got bored, and decided to leave.

Kayla: *Walks into the store* Hello Harlan. Where are you going?
Harlan: I'm going home. My work here is done.
Jerry: *Helping Vito place snacks on the shelf*
Kayla: *Arrives* Jerry, did you know that Harlan finished his work already?
Jerry: What?
Vito: He's supposed to be in dairy!

The manager quickly walked over to them.

Vito: Let me guess, Harlan decided to go home.
Manager: We got bigger issues than that.

He lead Jerry and Vito into his office. There was a cash register which had hundreds of dollars, but now it was empty.

Jerry: Harlan's not that stupid.
Vito: He may try to avoid working minimum wage, but he would never go this far.
Manager: I hope you're right. If only we had security cameras.

After work, the two brothers found Harlan laying down on a couch, watching television.

Vito: Well Harlan, what do you have to say for yourself?
Harlan: You're welcome.
Jerry: Excuse you!
Vito: We got you a job, and you're being very disrespectful about it!
Harlan: I found a better job.
Vito: Already?
Harlan: I got a job working on the Napa Valley Wine Train.
Jerry: The excursion train?
Vito: You better be telling the truth.
Harlan: I'll prove it to you. I work seven days a week. When's your day off?
Vito: Tomorrow.
Harlan: Come to the station at 10 AM. Make sure you call and get reservations.
Vito: In that case, I'll bring Penny with me.

Q and a few other ponies from the Costanza mob made their way into Napa.

Vito: *Walks to his car with Penny*
Q: *Driving a Lincoln Towncar*
Costanza Pony 45: I see 'em.
Q: Okay. Let's move in.
Vito: *Starts his car, and turns around*
Q: *Floors it*
Vito: *Looks back, and makes a left turn*
Q: *Spins out of control, but quickly starts chasing Vito again*
Vito: I really thought it would take them longer to find us.
Penny: Do you have another gun?
Vito: In the dashboard. Can you shoot him for me?
Penny: *Grabs a Beretta M9* Okay, here I go.
Q: *Taps the back of Vito's car*
Penny: Whoa. *Holding the gun with two hooves* Steady now.
Vito: Hurry before he hits us again.
Penny: *Shoots a mirror off of Q's car*
Q: *Gets to the right of Vito's car*
Vito: *Brakes*
Q: *Drives into a parked car*
Vito: *Takes the gun and shoots Q while driving away*
Costanza Ponies: *Shooting at Vito*

A few bullets hit the back window, making Vito very angry.

Vito: *Turning around*
Penny: What are you doing?!
Vito: They're not getting away with shooting my car!
Costanza Pony 45: He's coming back?!
Costanza Pony 13: Shoot 'em, quickly!
Vito: *Shoots both ponies with three bullets*

He then came to a complete stop. Within 45 seconds, he stole their weapons, and all of their cash along with a couple of credit cards.

Vito and Penny then arrived at the Napa Valley Wine Train. Harlan was waiting.

Harlan: What took you two so long?
Vito: I'll tell you on the train.

Fifteen minutes later.

Penny: *Watching a winery as they go past*
Harlan: *Walks over to them* Make it quick. I have other guests to take care of.
Vito: Costanza's finally found us.
Penny: If it weren't for Vito, we'd be dead.
Harlan: What do we do?
Vito: We'll discuss this with Jerry tonight.
Harlan: Okay. *Walks away*
Penny: Do you have a plan?
Vito: Not yet. Let's hope Jerry has something in mind.
