Frankie says "junk" when referring to the Rosato brothers and how they have ruined their grandmother's neighborhoods by allowing drugs and whores to be their priority, and they save the gambling for last. He calls it "ababania" (spelling phonetic), which is strictly a Sicilian-American word, because my cousins in Sicily never heard of it.
Babe, mark this day on your calendar: you are right again.
Those two scenes are distinct and quite apart from one another. How anyone would confuse them is beyond me. I think that those of us who have been Board members for quite awhile have viewed the film and read the novel several times; the new members' posts tend to reflect a superficial viewing and reading. Even multiple viewings and readings can result in errors. I encourage the new members to view the film and read the novel at least twice.
