Rob the Mob Page #9

Protection.

They gave you a gift.

You're going to give them something, right?

They didn't give us anything.

They don't even know we got it.

What can I do you for?

Gotti's going away.

The Gambinos are done.

The D.A. is already planning

his next show,

and the Vazallos

are going to be up.

Oh, yeah?

Joey D was just

the first to flip.

Congratulations.

Get three more Mortadella heroes

for my friends here.

Put it on my tab.

Your days are numbered,

Mr. Fiorello.

It's like Yogi said,

"The future

ain't what it used to be."

It doesn't matter, because the mob has

already got a contract out on them.

And what are you going to do?

Are you going to let that happen?

Me?

Yeah.

You want to take down the king,

you got to sacrifice a couple of pawns.

Bullshit! F*** that!

I wrote this because of you.

You got to do something for these kids.

What did they do?

They robbed from the goddamn mob!

It's a public service,

what they did.

W-w-what do you

expect me to do?

Put them in the witness

protection program or something?

That's not up to me.

Do you know how much money

that's going to cost?

They're not going to do it

for these two f***ing idiots.

You guys are worse than them.

Yeah, you are.

At least with the mob,

you know where you stand.

Rosie.

Yeah?

You read Cardozo this morning?

No.

Can I read it to you?

Sure.

"In the history of crime,

few have been so foolhardy

"as this striking young woman

and her Uzi waving partner.

"Queen's own Bonnie and Clyde.

They make a dashing pair.

"Bonnie's silver,

sparkly nail polish

matches the paint job

on her Buick.

"With her wide eyes

and sly smile

"she asks,

'Is it really a crime?'

It's good, right?

What kind of car did those two drive?

Who?

Joseph and Mary.

Bonnie and Clyde, you fuckwit.

A Chevy.

A Chevy?

You sure?

It ain't a Chevy.

They got a Buick.

You sure?

A Buick Century.

I bought one for my mother.

Hm, four door?

Two door.

Two door.

What color?

Gun metal gray.

Gun metal gray!

Gun metal gray.

Buick Century.

Two f***ing doors.

Just like it said in the goddamn paper!

You know I'm running around

this neighborhood

and I run into it. I practically

crash into the goddamn f***ing car!

They live three f***ing blocks

from here!

And you f***ing idiots

are sitting in here

with your heads up your asses!

Get out there,

find these f***ing cocksuckers

and bring them in!

They're done!

In New York,

the crime boss John Gotti

has been sentenced to life in prison,

with no parole.

Gotti was said

to be the most powerful

crime figure in America.

He was certainly the most

visible and the most flamboyant.

A grand jury agreed,

with the district attorney's office

that there is sufficient

reason to proceed

with a 19-count indictment

against reputed crime boss,

Alfonse Fiorello

...crime

boss Alfonse Fiorello,

after former underboss,

Joseph De Luisa

reportedly struck a deal

to avoid prosecution.

For years Fiorello

has operated covertly.

Hiding in plain

sight while running a business.

A spokesman for the Federal Bureau of

Investigation and the D.A.'s office

called this an event

of major importance.

Hey, Grandpa?

What?

Are you ever going to go away,

like my dad did?

Here's the thing,

one day we all go away.

You understand?

Why?

'Cause I need to know how

to make everything you cook

before you go.

I want to be exactly like you.

No. You're not going

to be exactly like me,

you're going to be

much better than me.

Much better than me.

Why?

Robbie.

Yeah?

One day you're going to hear

things about your grandpa.

What kind of things?

Well, you're going

to hear things.

And you're going

to wonder who I really was.

You might wonder

what it all means.

You understand?

Mm-hmm.

The point is that those

things you're going to hear

what you got to know is that I

had to pay the price for them.

Because that's the way you

make things right in life.

You pay the price for

the things you do wrong.

You understand?

Yeah.

So if you don't want

to pay the price,

what do you do?

Don't do anything wrong, right?

I know.

Just do what?

What kind of things?

Good things.

Good things.

Okay. And that way,

you never have to pay the price.

You promise me that?

Mm-hmm.

You'll always do

the right thing?

Okay.

Okay.

I got a question for you.

What?

What's the most important thing

to making a good Arancini?

The rice.

What... the rice?

What-what are

you talking about?

I'm kidding.

Okay.

The love.

The love.

That's right.

That's the only thing you

need to know in life.

That's the secret. Love.

Okay.

Right?

Mm-hmm.

Look at that.

Mortadella,

what a beautiful thing.

It's the caviar of baloneys.

The thing about Mortadella

is everybody thinks

they don't like it.

Until they try it.

Then they realize there's nothing better.

And there's nothing like a cavatelli

and bruschule on a Sunday.

In fact, there is no Sunday

without cavatelli and bruschule.

Recently I started hearing that...

that there's a guy

who may be living

in this neighborhood

who is involved in certain,

you know, questionable activities.

Where do people get these ideas?

There's always

that guy living next door.

Oh, what does he do?

He's so mysterious.

He never comes out of the house.

There's always people

coming in, people coming out.

People's imagination

running wild.

The one thing I do know

about some of these people

is that you don't want

to embarrass them

in front of their family.

Especially in front

of their family.

So if... if you got

to do your job,

I suggest you treat him

with dignity.

Otherwise,

there's going to be hell to pay.

You know, I can't believe

you never saw the tree.

I've never seen the tree.

I'm from New York.

Why would I see the tree. It's only

for out-of-towners. What do you mean?

What the f***?

What's this?

What's going on?

I want to give you this.

I want...

You guys ever been to Mexico?

To Mexico? We're not

going to Mexico.

We got a plan. We're going

to leave in a couple of days.

Please, listen you guys.

You're a little bit more

exposed than you should be.

Yeah, no sh*t. Yeah, I think you

guys got to get out of the country.

These guys, they're not going

to let you go.

They're never going

to forget about this.

It's not going

to go unpunished. Ever.

Okay? I've thought

this through.

We got a plan, all right?

We got to go.

Yeah, we got to go.

This is the way out of this.

I'm trying to fix this.

No, you pretended like you were

our friend and you exploited us.

Think for a second.

Rosie, get in the car.

Take the goddamn tickets. Take the

goddamn tickets, we don't want them.

We don't want them.

Rosie, get in the car.

You're smarter than this, Tommy.

You know what's going to happen.

I know these guys, Tommy.

Take these tickets.

Take these tickets.

You got to get out of here. Close the door.

We got to go.

You got to get out of here.

Baby, close the goddamn door.
