Boss of Bosses Page #7

Is there anything you'd like

to say to us now...

...before formal charges

are presented?

Don't I get a trial first?

Of course...

...just like any other citizen

of this country.

Look...

...l'm from Brooklyn.

I was born poor.

I'm not saying being poor means

you didn't have to live by the rules.

I hate that crybaby stuff.

I made my own choices.

Some promises a man makes carry more

weight than 100 Bibles full of law.

You live by those promises.

And if you don't,

you should be dead anyway.

So I got nothing to say.

So do what you gotta do.

We will, Mr. Castellano.

His attorneys have made bail.

Three million dollars.

We'll see you in court.

You know, you guys are worse

than we ever were.

We didn't do this to you,

Mr. Castellano.

You did.

I want to talk with that

greedy bastard, Gotti.

- All of this, triggered by him.

- Why meet?

If he knew his crew was dealing,

he blessed that.

If he knew about it, he goes.

End of story.

I promised Neil.

Paul, listen...

A promise to a dying friend.

What's more sacred?

Okay, we'll arrange a meet

through Di Cicco.

Plenty of security.

Someplace uptown Manhattan,

an upscale restaurant.

- Spark's Steak House.

- Set it up.

Look at that bridge, huh?

It's beautiful.

Looks the same.

You got no eyes.

That bridge has been here 100 years.

You see it?

Yeah. A bridge by any other name.

A bunch of iron bolted together.

Tommy, pull over

on the side of the road.

We still got to work out

the details of the meet.

There's plenty of time.

Tommy, just pull over on the side.

My uncle worked on this bridge.

He riveted his name

up high in the steel.

I asked him, I said,

"Who's gonna see it?"

He said, "Nobody.

God sees it."

I see you.

Not a bridge.

It's about this thing.

About leaving some reminder.

You lived, you were there, you tried.

You talk like a man already dead.

The next days and weeks

will decide that.

Paul...

...go away with me.

We can go to Florida.

Or to Colombia.

We can go to my country.

You swore you'd never go back.

You'd do that for me?

Yes.

Anything.

And what would I do there?

It doesn't matter.

We would be together.

I can't.

What about us?

A man and a woman loving together.

We could do it.

As much as I want to, I can't.

This is my life.

This is where I took my stand

for my family.

Don't make me choose.

Well, you chose.

You chose me!

Be a man!

A man without all those animals

waiting for you, watching you.

Love me.

Be with me.

People are counting on me.

Their lives depend on what I do.

Fifty bucks! That police sticker

ain't good for nothing.

Tommy, we could have been towed.

Relax, it's Christmastime.

Yeah, merry Christmas.

All right, let's go.

In my life, I've commited

"many evil acts, Father".

"So many".

From the misery of others, Father...

...l've made millions of dollars.

They call me the Boss of Bosses.

And yet you could not

boss your own heart.

Oh, Paulie.

Brightest of all my children.

Satan seduced you...

...and I was too weak to stop it.

Are you remorseful?

I have dreams.

Very bad dreams.

For your sins, my son...

...make an act of contrition.

I wish it was that easy, Father.

Say a prayer and make it all go away.
