Boss of Bosses Page #3

and we gotta change with it.

Well, it's in your hands now, Paul.

Use me and my crew.

Gotti over there and Angelo.

How do I take them all to where

I want to go? You tell me.

We started together,

we'll see it through together.

The boys are looking lean

and hungry tonight.

They're all wondering who you're gonna

pick for Miami.

Tonight, you'll see.

Paul, Paul. There's somebody so bad

wants to meet you.

Oh, my God! Mr. Castellano.

- This is Brenda, she goes to NYU.

- I'm a drama major.

For me you're just... You're the

master of drama, the real world.

I saw the "Godfather" 16 times.

Hey, Paul, I was thinking maybe me

and you could go somewhere and talk.

Can I call you Paul?

- I got some business to discuss.

- Yeah.

Let's go.

- Hey, how you doing? Good.

- How you doing?

Will they keep these young girls

away from me?

A girl like that is

like putting a bullet in your brain.

Just like that

Samson and Delilah b*tch.

She cut his balls.

His hair, Tommy, not his balls.

Whatever, Piney.

She took his strength.

A beautiful woman

will do that every time.

For every beautiful woman,

there's a guy tired of banging her.

Remember that.

Look, spread the word.

IKeep those girls away.

I take it as a personal insult.

I'll take any you don't want.

I wouldn't throw no babes

out of no bathtub.

It's "babies," and it's

"out with the bath water."

Yeah, well, I'll bathe them too.

Or whatever.

- Mr. Castellano?

- Yeah?

Please, join our group over here.

Not now, Joey. But I want to talk

to you about some business.

Thank you.

So it's Bazzini.

He gets Florida, huh?

Look, Joey's a steady.

He's a good earner.

He's not violent or wild.

For a year I'll see what he does

with the dog tracks and the books.

The others see what kind of guy gets

rewarded, they'll calm down a bit.

All right?

Come on. "Salute"!

Two hundred mil.

"Babies with the bath water."

"I love that theme song".

"It gives me a chance to say"...

We'll begin at the beginning

by saying:

Good morning, welcome to

The Joe Franklin Show.

I'd like to say welcome to

The Johnny Carson Show...

..."or" The Phil Donahue Show...

Paulie!

Want to know why we do it

slow this way?

Not with a bullet?

To send a message.

Discourage fools

dumb enough to mess with you.

That's good thinking.

That's very good, Paul.

Take him up!

Watch. Learn.

What?

Bad dream.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm all right now.

Here, sir. Hot chocolate.

Good night.

Sorry, what was your name again?

Gloria.

Gloria, yeah. Sit down, sit down.

- No, sir.

- Please...

...I like to get to know

the people who work for me.

It's pretty good.

Ginger and nutmeg...

...for sleep.

So...

...do you know who I am?

Yes. You are the boss.

Yeah, I'm the boss.

Your English is good.

In our school,

the priest said English...

...is the language of power

of the nations that rule the world.

Power, money...

Is that why you came to America?

No, sir. My own reasons.

Do me a favor. Drop the "sir," okay?

I feel old enough as it is.

Just call me Paul.

That is not proper, sir.

If I'm the boss,

I say what's proper, right?

Excuse me.

Gloria.

Thanks for busting me

out of that dream.

In this life it is the living

we must fear, not dreams.

You're way too young

to understand something like that.

Good night... Paul.

See, that wasn't so hard.

Have good dreams.

This is a great tribute.

It honors me.

You know, my cousin Don Carlo

was a great man.

We'll miss him very much.

But we must get on to

the business at hand.

I have a plan...

...to control all of New York City...

...to ensure all our friends

have jobs...

...we will build construction fronts

and bid our way to the top...

...using our unions.

We will own the New York skyline.

All of it.

We'll make a fortune, and the law

won't be able to touch us.

But to do this...

...we must keep a low profile.

I want your crews

to devote their talents...

...to money-lending, numbers,

the waterfront...

...car businesses.

Businesses that won't draw attention.

And like always,

no cop killing or civilians.

And, everybody, hear me on this one:

No drug dealing under the penalty

of death. You deal, you die.

No exceptions.

I know Carlo turned his head

sometimes, but I won't.

Any friend of ours gets caught

dealing, no meeting, no appeal.

You become a memory.

No one could help you.

From now on...

...our way will be the business way.

And we'll rule

longer than the Roman Empire.

Presidents of unions come to us now.

One day it'll be

the president of the United States.

What do you got?

Low-level stuff, mostly.

Nothing that can get us to Big Paul.

Here's something.

We got a warrant

to bug the Bergin Social Club.

Excellent. That's Dellacroce's crew.

Gotti's the key to that.

He's got a big mouth, likes to brag.

- So get on it.

- Yes, sir.

What?

That contract is still out

on Agent Joe Pistone and his family.

The Donnie Brasco thing

will never be over for them.

Castellano has inherited that

along with everything else.

I think we ought to do

something about it.

Like what? Ask Big Paul

to drop the contract?

Yeah, maybe.

Look, let's just do something

that can be done.

Get the bugs in place

at the Bergin Social Club.

We got to connect Castellano

to the street crews.

Then we can get a warrant

to bug his house.

I want him.

Find a way.

You want to steal from us?

Let me get a better shot.

Last play of the game. The snap...

...the kick!

It's good!

- What are you doing?

- Softening him for you.

I told you I wanted

to talk to them first.

How can I talk to them like this, huh?

You Irish have been warned to stay

out of our territories with numbers.

Please.

Please what?

Who the hell are you talking to?

Mr. Castellano...

...let us make everything right.

You will make it right.

There are no "next times."

And don't ever mistake kindness

for weakness again.

I want to talk to everybody right now.

Didn't I say not to do anything

until I said?

They've been warned before.

They gotta learn.

Did I give the order?

All due respect, but Neil said...

I don't care what Neil said.

I'm the boss of this family, not Neil.

I don't want to say that again.

Understand?

Go ahead, take a swim. Why not?

No, I was only looking.

I don't know why I have it anyway.

Nobody ever uses it.

It's very beautiful.

It must be nice

to have such beautiful things.

Money makes life comfortable.

It doesn't make you happy.

Look at the dreams I have.

I like the way you look at me.

Like you could read my mind.

Maybe I can.

You swim anytime you want.

Thank you.

We'll take care of it, Mr. Castellano.

We're making money hand over fist.

I've never seen nothing like it.

200 mil a year, at least.

- It's a beautiful thing.

- I wish Carlo could see this.

How about Vito?

What would he think?

He'd think:

"Not bad for some dumb, guinea

street kids."

Your dream, it's working.

Just like you said.

It's only the beginning.
