LEVINE:

Do you remember when the ship, do you remember what ship you came on when you came to America?

Maybe he feels he's on the stand or something.

LEVINE:

I think so. I think . . .

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Can you hold this for a second?

LEVINE:

When you think about your life, because you were mostly here, you lived your life here more than in Italy, right?

CAPPELLINO:

I don't know what you mean.

LEVINE:

I mean, when you think about your life, what do you think about it?

CAPPELLINO:

Nothing. Because I was only a kid.

LEVINE:

Are you, is there anything you're very proud of that you did?

CAPPELLINO:

Like what?

LEVINE:

Are you very proud of anything that you did in your life?

CAPPELLINO:

Proud?

LEVINE:

Yeah. What makes you proud?

CAPPELLINO:

Nothing, because I was only a kid, I told you. I was only a kid, so nothing could be. It happens today, tomorrow you forget about it. It isn't that you grow up over here and you went to school. I can't remember. That I can't, because what I used to do today. Tomorrow is different. I was only a kid.

LEVINE:

Yeah.

CAPPELLINO:

Those days, a kid is like a man, you know. They used to treat you like a man. It isn't like today. Today you're fourteen years old and that was a different thing altogether.

LEVINE:

You had to work when you were fourteen, I guess.

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:

When you were fourteen years old, you had to go to work?

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:

After the flower shop, then what kind of work did you do next?

CAPPELLINO:

What I did next?

LEVINE:

Yeah.

CAPPELLINO:

I went to learn the sewing machine. I went to work, learn on the sewing machine. That's all I can remember.

LEVINE:

And then is that what you did?

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:

Is that the kid of work you stayed with? Did you keep working with the sewing machines?

CAPPELLINO:

Did I what?

LEVINE:

Did you work with the sewing machines most of your life?

CAPPELLINO:

I was a kid, yeah.

LEVINE:

And then when you got older what did you do?

CAPPELLINO:

What could I tell you? When I got older I did a lot of things. I used to hang around with American kids, and that's the way I learned the language, too. That's all I can tell you.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

He owned his own shop.

LEVINE:

Three times?

MR. CAPPELLINO'S WIFE:

A few times.

LEVINE:

A few times. Uh-huh.

CAPPELLINO:

I can't tell you much. I was only a kid myself. But what I did today, I forgot tomorrow.

LEVINE:

Yeah. Are there any things that stick in your mind from way back that you think about now?

CAPPELLINO:

No, because I grew up over here, and I forgot yesterday. I didn't think about yesterday. I think about today, or tomorrow.

LEVINE:

Did you have children?

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:

Did you have children? Did you have children?

CAPPELLINO:

Did I have children? I was only a kid myself.

CAPPELLINO:

Yes, one. We had one.

LEVINE:

One child?

CAPPELLINO:

One child.

LEVINE:

And what's your child, what's the child's name?

MR. CAPPELLINO'S WIFE:

LEVINE:

MR. CAPPELLINO'S WIFE:

LEVINE:

And how many grandchildren do you have?

CAPPELLINO:

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

No. Your grandchildren. Me and Francine and Frankie. She means your grandchildren, like me, me. I'm your grandchild, and Francine and Frankie.

LEVINE:

CAPPELLINO:

That's what I said. (?)

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

CAPPELLINO:

I was only a kid, too. I went to work, and I used to hang around with the boys at work.

LEVINE:

Do you remember in Sicily, do you remember the kinds of trees that were there, the trees and the things that grew there, that people grew and they used for food?

CAPPELLINO:

No. I can't give you no answer because I grew up, might as well say . . .

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Pop, listen, Pop. In Italy, talk about Italy now. Talk about Italy.

CAPPELLINO:

Italy?

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Yeah. Talk about all the different plants and everything, the different flowers and plants they had.

CAPPELLINO:

I don't remember a lot of things. I was only a kid myself.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

But you always tell me.

CAPPELLINO:

What I do today I forgot tomorrow.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

You always tell me all the stories. What happened now? You forgot?

CAPPELLINO:

When we talk about it, it's all right but . . .

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

So talk about it! Talk about it! Just talk about it!

CAPPELLINO:

Look, but I can't give you no answers because today I used to do one thing, tomorrow I used to do another.

LEVINE:

Okay. I think maybe it's talking about it is one thing and giving answers is another thing, you know.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Yeah.

CAPPELLINO:

See, like, when I grew up, I grew up over here. I hung around with the boys and stopped the boys and go, I went to school. I can't give you much answers.

LEVINE:

Okay. All right. Well, maybe you could talk . . .

CAPPELLINO:

I remember I grew up over here, I went to school, I went to night school. But not much. What they used to teach me I knew already from the streets, from the kids. I didn't bother much, because I knew already what they used to taught.

LEVINE:

Well, maybe you can tell Lisa the story sometime. When I'm not here you can tell Lisa. You remember, maybe, some of the stories.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Yeah.

CAPPELLINO:

What can I tell her?

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

You know, so we can get it on . . .

CAPPELLINO:

They know just as much as me. They grew up with me.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

Yeah. But I mean now we want to put it on the machine, on the voice machine. That's what she's got, the voice machine. So if you talk and tell all the stories we can put it on the voice machine and they can give us the tape and we could keep it.

CAPPELLINO:

Look, I'll tell you one thing. What I did today I forgot, I mean, what I did yesterday I forgot it today.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

I don't know what to do.

CAPPELLINO:

I can't give you much answers.

MR. CAPPELLINO'S GRANDDAUGHTER:

LEVINE:

Okay. Well, thank you very much anyway.

CAPPELLINO:

Used to hang around with boys. We had a man, they used to take the kids from the other side, they used to teach them how to live in America.

LEVINE:

What did he teach them?

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:

What kinds of things did he teach them?

CAPPELLINO:

What kind of what?

LEVINE:

What did he tell them about living in America?

CAPPELLINO:

LEVINE:

You said the man took the boys from the other side and told them about America.

CAPPELLINO:

Yeah. I was a kid myself, I don't remember. I really don't, what the man looked like. I was only a kid myself. I'm sorry.

LEVINE:

Did you like it in America?

CAPPELLINO:

Did I like it?

LEVINE:

Yeah.

CAPPELLINO:

That's another thing. I was only a kid, and I don't know how I grew up and what I did. I don't, after a while I learned on sewing machines. Somebody taught me how to do that. I don't even remember the man who it was. That's a long time ago. I'm an old man. Then I was a young boy. So what can I give you? What I did today I forget tomorrow.

LEVINE:

CAPPELLINO:

Huh?

LEVINE:
