Answer: Fixing the chain on his bike

Collogero was brought into the back room of Chez Bippy where Sonny sat with Jimmy Whispers. Sonny asked him to sit next to him and they talked about baseball. Then Sonny noticed his Yankee hat. Sonny discussed the recent Yankee loss and knew the boy was upset. Collogero was upset that Mickey Mantle supposedly cried at that loss. Sonny told him that he shoudn't be upset at Mickey Mantle crying because he makes $100,000 a year and if Collogero's father couldn't pay the rent to go ask Mickey Mantle and see what he would tell him. From that day on, Collogero never felt the same about baseball or the Yankees again.

After they finally met, Sonny became a mentor to this boy. Lorenzo Anello was a hard working bus driver who tried very hard to set a good example and to keep the lines of communication open with his son.

Though warned to stay away from the bar, many times Collogero went there after school and began working there getting the men coffee and drinks, to earn tips. On this day there was a crap game taking place in the basement and Sonny wanted him to throw the dice. Though not at all familiar with dice and frightened by the sight of so much money thrown in the middle, with Sonny's encouragement, he threw 11 passes in a row! Sonny decided that day that the boy's name was too long. When he paid Collogero for the night he told him that from then on, he would be called "C".

The #1 horse was ahead all the way and Sonny and his men were already counting their winnings until they turned and saw Eddie Mush screaming out the horse's name.

Sonny was right, Mush was a jinx!

From Quiz A Bronx Tale

Answer: "Lift weights, play cards or get into trouble. I read."

"C" respected Sonny a great deal and told him so. He thought Sonny knew everything. To Sonny, the 10 years he spent in jail proved he didn't. Sonny tried to illustrate this to "C" whenever he could. He attempted to pass along his best advice about the workings of the street, to this young man, without getting him involved in any illegal business. This was the life he himself had chosen, it was not what he wanted for "C". His personal philosophy of why people in the neighborhood, along with his men, treated him as they did, why they laughed at his jokes when they weren't really that funny...was it love...was it fear? He told "C" that it was nice to be loved but that he would rather be feared. It lasted longer.

Answer: Machiavelli

Sonny's philosophy was to give Collogero two eductions, one on the street, the other in school, but Lorenzo felt the what the boy saw.

Lorenzo didn't have enough faith in his son's well learned principals.
