Story[]

- Time: 9:27 pm
- Place: Bensonhurst
- Days until meeting: 9
Cleon has been talking to the Bensonhurst-based gang, the Saracens, who say they've been having problem with their rivals the Jones Street the Boys. The Saracens are a reputable gang, and Cleon believes that aiding them will lead to The Warriors getting onto the Riffs' network.
Cowboy and Cochise are sent to Bensonhurst, where they meet up with the Saracens' leader Edge. Edge explains that the Jones Street Boys have recently been working with the local cops, which has caused problems between the gangs. Edge tells Cowboy and Cochise that the plan is for them to steal items from the stores around Bensonhurst, then plant some in the trunk of the cops' car and the rest in the Jones Street Boys' hangout.
After Edge and the Saracens leave, Cowboy and Cochise begin making their way around Bensonhurst, looting the stores and stealing car radios. When they have enough stolen items, Cowboy and Cochise plant some of the items in the trunk of the cops' car, before they make their way to the Jones Street Boys' hangout and plant the remaining items there.
Following this, Cowboy and Cochise come across two of the cops who have been working with the Jones Street the Boys. Cowboy lies and says that the JSBs have a business set up where they sell stolen merchandise out of their hangout, before leaving the cops. Annoyed that they are being left out of this fabricated deal, the cops arrest Knox, the leader of the JSBs. However, the cops themselves are then arrested after Harrison and Garrison uncover the stolen items in their trunk. Before leaving Bensonhurst Cowboy and Cochise come across Edge, who thanks them for their work and tells The Warriors he will tell he Riffs about them prior to the meeting.

Script[]
(Cleon is talking with Cowboy.)
Cleon: I been talking with the Saracens. Say they've been having a problem with The Jones Street Boys. The Saracens got a heavy rep. I think they can get us on The Riffs network. Cowboy you and Cochise are going to Bensonhurst to meet up with the Saracens leader. His name's Edge an' he'll explain everything. This could be our ticket to the meeting Cowboy, I'm counting on you!
(Cowboy takes Cochise and leaves the Warriors hangout. Cut to Cowboy and Cochise talking at the Coney subway station and board the train.)
Bensonhurst, 9:27 pm, July 3, 1979, 9 days before the meeting.
(Cut to Cowboy and Cochise walking down the Bensonhurst subway station staircase, where a Saracen soldier is waiting for them and leads them to the Saracens. Cut to Edge and two other Saracens in an alleyway. An unnamed Saracen spots Cowboy and Cochise walking towards them.)
Unnamed Saracen #1: Hey! Check it out!
(Edge and the other Saracen turn around and face Cowboy and Cochise.)
Cowboy: You Edge?
Edge: That's right Warrior. We heard you guys were good, that's why we called you in to help us take down Jones Street. Those fucks been working with some dirty cops who love to make our lives miserable... so we're gonna take down two birds with one stone. Boost a bunch of shit, plant some in the cops' trunk and then stash the rest of it over at the Jones Street Boys' hangout. You pull this off, we'll put in a word for you with the Riffs. (spotting the JSBs) Speak of the Devil! There's the JSBs over there! Watch out for their scouts; you don't wanna draw too much attention to yourselves.
Cowboy: Cool man. We got it.
(Edge and the two other Saracens walk past Cowboy and Cochise.)
Cochise: Those JSBs are screwed man.
Cowboy: Let's get this ball rollin'! The Saracens are countin' on us. If we can deliver on this set-up, we might finally get the kind of rep we deserve.
Cochise: We gonna burn those JSBs, man. Those caviar eatin' mothafuckas are gonna pay for their graveyard shit they pull.
(Cowboy and Cochise steal 50 items from the Bensonhurst shops, then steal 5 car stereos to set up the cops and then the Jones Street Boys. While stealing one of the car stereos, a Bensonhurst civilian, Danny, from a house close by, is standing outside with a machete in his hand.)
Danny: Get your hands off my car, or I'll cut 'em the fuck off!
(Cowboy wrecks Danny before going on to steal the other car radios.)
Cowboy: These guys are toasted!
(Before stealing one of the car stereos, Cowboy was confronted by Pilfer.)
Pilfer: Hey, I was here first, pal. Get lost.
(Cowboy wrecks Pilfer, and while stealing another one of the car stereos, Cowboy and Cochise interrupt an outdoor party.)
Gabe: Woohoo! Man, I'm a dancin' machine!
Danny: C'mon, baby. Show me some moves.
Karen: Ya like watchin' me dance, man?
Unnamed Male Civilian: Shit yeah, honey! I could watch you all night.
Becky: Check this out, guys!
Gabe: Yeah, sugar! That's what I like! That's what I like!
Danny: So, which one of you broads wants to go down to the beach with me?
Becky: Oh, baby! We're just gettin' warmed up! The party's just gettin' started!
Unnamed Male Civilian: Oooooh wee! A chick who knows what she likes. That's smooth, man, smooth! Ha ha.
Danny: Ah, you guys oughta call me busy-feet! You dig?
Karen: Alright, busy-feet. You ready to get down?
Danny: Baby, I've been gettin' down my whole life - let's do it!
Gabe: Let's get wasted! Yeeeeaaaah!
(Cowboy and Cochise break the car window and take the stereo.)
Cowboy: Cool! This one looks expensive!
Gabe: What the hell's your story, tough guy?
Karen: Shit! I'm out of here!
Becky: Wait up, Candy! I ain't stickin' around either.
(Whilst on their way to the car yard to steal another stereo, Cowboy and Cochise find a JSB dealing with two bent security guards.)
Fleece: No, no, no! You gotta get this through your head! I know you ain't too educated, but listen; you ain't gonna get busted, and we'll all profit from it. Turn your heads the other way, take your breaks or whatever, and we'll come in and take the shit. We'll port it off, give the cops their cut, and split the rest with you!
Eddie: Now listen up, punk! I don't mind makin' some cash on the side, and I don't mind bendin' the rules any either. But, what I DO mind is a loud-mouth little brat like YOU disrespectin' me!
Henry: C'mon, Colonel, it's the way these street kids talk nowadays - they aren't properly educated.
Fleece: I'll let you in on a little secret, alright? The JSBs ain't in need of any money - we do this shit for kicks, like a goddamn hobby. You understand, grandpa?
Eddie: You sure got some mouth on ya. I'm a World War 2 vet, ya know! If it wasn't for me, you'd be speakin' German right now, and gettin' kicked around by them krauts!
Fleece: You wanna get realistic with me, old man? Alright. Here's realistic; I don't even have to make a deal with you right now. All I gotta do is give the word - one word - you'll have twenty JS-killer-fuckin'-Bees down here kickin' the shit outta you, stealin' everything in this dump and getting away scot free. And you know WHY I got that kind of power? Because we own the cops! They work for us! They know how powerful our families are. So, if I was you, I'd keep my fat, old, wrinkled mouth shut, and start showin' ME some respect! So, you two losers in, or out?
Eddie: Don't seem like we got too much of a choice here...
Henry: We're in, okay? Tomorrow night at twelve-thirty. Everything will be set up and you can just grab it.
Fleece: College boy over here's actually got some brains. Sounds like the beginning of a nice friendship. Alright. We just gotta wait around for our scout to show, and then we'll get things rollin'.
Henry: So, uh... do you like being in a gang?
Fleece: LISTEN, college boy; I ain't one for small talk. That thing I said about friendship ain't true, okay? I was just tryin' to smooth things over. I don't really wanna be friends with either one of you. Business partners, alright? That's it. Just shut up until the scout shows, and we still got a deal.
(Cowboy and Cochise interrupt.)
Eddie: Is that your scout?
Eddie: Hey! What the hell are you don' in here?!
Fleece: What the fuck! I thought you said this place was secure! Get 'em!
Henry: Uuuh... You're trespassing!
(Cowboy and Cochise wreck all three of them, then steal another stereo nearby.)
Cowboy: Cool! We got the shit. Let's go fuck these cops over, then with the JSBs. (plant some of the stolen goods in the cop car's trunk) Let's get inside their hangout and plant this shit.
(Cowboy and Cochise get to the Jones Street Boys' hangout. Cut to Cowboy and Cochise creeping up slowly outside the Jones Street Boys' hangout. Knox, Royal, and Boomstick are hanging around outside talking.)
Royal: I say we wait a couple months. We wait till our cash rolls in from this deal we got goin' right now. We'll have so much cash that even the Mayor'll be eating out of our hands! HA HA HA!
(Knox walks towards them.)
Knox: Out of MY hands you lame fucks! And we ain't doing any of that shit! I got some big plans, big like you can't imagine!
Boomstick: Huge like our bank rolls! HA HA HA HA!
Knox: Yeah right, huge! (walks away) Idiots!
Cowboy: Okay, we gotta get those dicks off the balcony or we're fucked! Maybe we can distract 'em.
(Knox, Royal, and Boomstick hear the sound of broken glass outside their hangout.)
Royal: What the fuck was that?
Boomstick: It's those fuckin' bums!
Royal: They're DEAD!
(Knox, Royal, and Boomstick go outside their hangout to beat up the hobos.)
Royal: What the fuck was that?
Boomstick: I'll tell you what, it's those fuckin' bums!
Royal: They're DEAD!
Knox: I've had it with you lazy assholes! Consider yourselves fuckin' evicted! Kill 'em!
Cowboy: Man, those dudes are stupid! Time to plant the loot!
(Then, Cowboy overhears the Jones Street Boys talking.)
Boomstick: Remember that shit that went down the graveyard, man? Those Warriors really fucked us over. If we see those dicks again man, it's gonna be a whole in their boogie and I tell you that much.
Pilfer: Oh, dude. That graveyard shit really pissed me the fuck off! I swear I'm gonna ruin those Warrior fucks and their new Saracen boyfriends! I can't stop thinking about those assholes that screwed us over at the graveyard. All we have to do was steal their shit and get out of there. But they don't have to go snuffin' around and we shit our luck!
Boomstick: You know what? Those Warriors really fucked us over at that graveyard. I just don't understand, how the hell they got us after all their planning worked?! DAMMIT, I HATE THEM FOR IT! We have to get some sort of revenge on those Warriors, man. They screwed us over and that is NOT acceptable!
Pilfer: Oh, yeah! It's party time. We gotta have the biggest party Brookyn's ever see! And if the Warriors show up to get their assed kicked, we'll all the better, ha ha!
Royal: Don't worry about the Warriors, man. They ain't shit. Why they think those loser Saracen try to help 'em out? Now because they're solid outfit, man and that's for sure.
Fleece: Goddammit, I hate those assholes! We have a real good scare of shit up, and now because of them, nothing. Not a damn thing! Fuckin' pricks.
Sleeping JSB: Huh? I don't think so. Koro is what I eat. Yeah, Koro. Yeah. Hmm.
Sleeping JSB: Huh? Eh. Dad, no. No. Ah! I don't want to ride the pony! You... *grumbling*
Cowboy (plant the rest of the stolen goods inside the drawer of a filing cabinet, underneath the cushion of a sofa, inside a locker, and inside the drawer of a desk): Let's hurry up and plant the shit before the Jones Street patsies get back. It's all set up, now let's get the fuck out of this dump.
(The sleeping Unnamed Jones Street Boy wakes up and alerts the rest of the gang)
Sleeping JSB: Huh, don't touch my hair. What? Hey, hey! What are you doing in here?! This is private!
(Cowboy and Cochise make their escape in a back alleyway. Cut to Cowboy and Cochise walking down the sidewalk with two cops walking towards them.)
Judas: Hey, this ain't your turf. What are you doing around here?
Cowboy: Nothing officer. Just heard that the Jones Street Boys had some kind of heavy setup. Sellin' shit real cheap outta their digs.
Dawson: Oh is that so? Then why you tellin' us?
Cowboy: Those assholes ripped me off, so fuck 'em; who needs 'em?
Judas: Ok, ok, we'll take care of it. Now get outta here. We see you in the streets again, we'll bust ya.
Dawson: Yeah, we'll bust ya! (to Judas) Those dirty little pricks! They're holdin' out on us?
Judas: Let's go bust their asses.
Cowboy: So much for those JSBs, let's go see how this plays out.
(Cut to Knox in handcuffs with the two police officers dragging him to their car.)
Knox: I'm tellin' you we never saw any of that shit before! We were framed! Look man, we wouldn't rip you guys off, we ain't stupid! C'mon man, we got a good arrangement goin' on here, you don't wanna do this shit!
(Dawson, not finding anything else on Knox, puts him in the backseat of their car.)
Harrison: Just what kind of arrangement are we talking about here?
Judas: Harrison? Garrison? Ah, this punk is talkin' crazy must've been sniffing glue. We'll take him in.
Harrison: Open the trunk Judas.
Judas: What?! You guys gotta lotta nerve.
Harrison: Now! (inspects the trunk to see the stolen goods) Well, well, well, just like we thought. You're under arrest!
(Garrison handcuffs Judas while Harrison handcuffs Dawson, and they drag them away.)
Judas: HEY! Look, I got no...
Harrison: Can it pal! You're going downtown!
Garrison: You've got the right to remain silent, anything you say...
(Knox is watching this unfold, still handcuffed in the back seat of the cops' car.)
Knox: Hey you're going to let me go, right?
(A short distance away in an alleyway, Cowboy and Cochise are watching the whole thing go down. Edge and a few Saracens appear behind them.)
Edge: Hey.
Cochise: What's up Edge?
Cowboy: Those rich-kids are pretty much finished.
Edge: Yeah, thanks. You guys got a pretty heavy set. Y'know we been thinking about inviting you in on this meeting Cyrus is holding; some serious shit. Only the toughest crews will be there. I think The Warriors deserve it.
Cowboy: We ain't heard much about that. But we ain't really on The Riffs network either. You think we can get in on it huh? We been making some waves on the streets lately; got a pretty solid rep going now.
Edge: We'll see Warrior. The Saracens'll back you up, and we got a fair bit of pull with The Gramercy Riffs. So maybe man, I hope, for your sake. Who knows what the streets'll be like after that shit.
Cowboy: Solid man. We appreciate it.
(Edge and the Saracens walk away as Cowboy and Cochise head back to Coney.)
DJ Reports[]
Alright now, here's the latest word from the streets. In Bensonhurst, the alliance between the Saracens and the Jones Street Boys is officially over. Seems that the rich kids were playing the field with the fuzz and cutting their teammates out of the action. No one likes a ball hog, boppers. And now, it looks like the dirty cops and a few of the JSB's will be sitting on the bench for a while. Up near Union Square, the Punks bit off a bit more than they could chew when they tried to teach the Baseball Furies a lesson for playing ball a little too far from home. Needless to say, the furious response knocked the Punks right off their feet. Like I always tell you boppers, watch your toes. There's still a lot of chatter concerning what the Riffs' magic man is cooking up for us in Gramercy. Stay tuned though, boppers. I've been told that everybody who needs to know what's going down will find out what's going down before it goes down. You dig? That's it for now, babies. Adios.
