The scene we cut
Now youse can't leave
"Now youse can't leave." Sonny locks the door on a biker gang.
Palminteri wrote the play when he was a struggling actor and turned down a million dollars for the rights because the studio would not let him play Sonny. De Niro saw the show, promised him the part, and made his first film as a director to keep the promise.
