Rocco and the Wharton Professor
ROCCO
Well well! Mrs Onofrio's little boy, now teaching at
Wharton School of Gouging Capitalism, University
of Pennsylvania. So, DR! Onofrio, how’s the latest
government bailout of the fiercely independent
private sector going?
DR O
I’ve screamed about these excesses for five years!
ROCCO
What do you teach at Right-Wing Wharton anyway?
DR O
Economics.
ROCCO
What is that, exactly?
DR O
Nobody knows. It’s in Discovery.
ROCCO
So? Tell me, is this new government ownership of
private companies Socialism or Communism?
DR O
Who the fuck cares!
ROCCO
Wouldn't want your department chairman hear that, would you?
DR O
Okay Rocco, so I'm a fuckin hypocrite. It's a big club.
ROCCO
The biggest. And don’t despair that nobody listens to you.
First fuckin grownup lesson.
------
Strivers leave Rocco’s South Philadelphia, but they always return–
most often for Mama’s food.
