punch down gets.

What is he yet again romantic.

How about you and Linda?

- We are thinking about.

She is a lot, but she can cook?

She is Jewish, she can not boil water.

Then you are a hungry jew.

If you're hungry, you eat it with me.

I'll drink to.

- On the friendship.

I'm here.

I told you what the

would be between you?

Who is this?

- A buddy of mine.

Do you mind?

What is that? That powder in your nose?

We feast.

Your parents are there. Mine too.

Have you no respect?

- Sure I have respect.

Keep it fun. Good?

What a great night.

Everything was perfect.

But I was not reassured.

Nothing lasts forever perfect.

I did not ruin the evening,

So I thought of it no more.

Paul Castellano, Sammy Gravano.

Sit down.

You know why you're here?

Sure.

Look around you.

Do you know anyone here?

Get your men and respect them?

Sure.

We allow you to our family

which belongs to the Cosa Nostra.

This insert this brotherhood

above God, above the state...

Above... and your family. Is that clear?

That is clear.

If we call you

and your son or daughter is sick...

Or even dying, then you immediately

and get them back.

I see.

If we ask you to kill us,

do you do that?

Which finger pull the trigger?

They do not come to each other's wife

and kill each other.

If you have this oath,

love you for always secret.

If you violate the law of omerta

or betray the brotherhood...

May your soul... then burn

as this saint.

I see.

You are now part of the Cosa

Nostra as a member of the Gambino family.

Congratulations.

In this brotherhood went

to honor, respect and loyalty.

The day of my admission

was the most beautiful of my life.

I no longer wanted to fight

and steal cars for acorns.

I wanted fixed income.

Something tangible.

Go ahead.

- These are your new companions.

I have no companions.

Now it is. You work for us.

Clear? We take over the business.

That's just not.

What gives me that?

You do too. You'll get your cut.

Come here.

And we'll let you live.

That does it for you.

Pour into something.

Do they do it?

- Yes, of course.

A beer from your own tap

tastes a lot better.

Especially because my boys.

My gang.

It's good. It has been running for more

than the "Push Push".

Soon they could close.

What kind of business?

- A construction company.

But the construction is unknown terrain.

We knew nothing of clubs.

Now Phil Catrelli gone,

we can expand.

With our contacts with the Teamsters

will the money will flow.

If you think it is something, I do it.

- I already have an office at Stillwell.

Who does he think he is, Don Juan?

That's John Gotti gang of Neils

of Ozone Park.

He has made Mick still cold?

That Gambino's nephew killed?

I walk a while back.

Gotti was also a rising star.

Now he came with his buddy

View the competition.

John, how are you?

- Nice to see once.

This is my size. Angelo Ruggiero.

Do you know Mickey 'the Bat'?

So now you're here?

- Yes, now we're here.

I hear good things about you.

I about you.

Already long free?

- A few months. That was nothing.

Do not you played baseball?

- At Wake Forest. Until injury.

What do you think of the Giants?

- Worthless. Can not win.

They have given me three grand cost.

Of betting only

the bookies better.

You're right. So it is.

Is also gambled?

A little dice and stuff.

And with you?

We have a lot TVs.

Wish you a few Sony's?

You do not go into details.

Grant my friends in something.

- Coming up.

So you have the funeral

Gambino missed.

Very sorry I was not there

to say goodbye to Carlo.

It was great. Everyone was there.

Police, friends, politicians.

Certainly a thousand people.

He was loved.

- Definitely.

What do you think about Big Paul?

He's the boss. Right?

Not as Carlo. He sits there on that

hill, away from his soldiers.

Carlo never left us in the lurch.

He was a lion and a fox.

He had power.

Real power.

And brains.

On you.

On you and on us.

The future.

I was impressed.

A smart boy.

Something too flashy, but a real guy.

I knew we would ever work.

What are you doing? Everything

is controlled, tires, lights...

Concrete and steel, the

best business there is.

What is it?

- Who are you?

If so, we lay quiet.

How dare you three dollars per cubic

meter questions?

I have magic concrete. Your problems

disappear like snow before the sun.

This is pure theft.

- What is that guy?

What nerve. Here I would like to know more.

Go ahead.

Bring on those cars.

I had other things on my mind.

I had a family to support.

Money is not everything, but it will come

in the first place.

I did everything for money.

Predatory Practices, hospitality,

construction, you name it.

To the delight of Castellano,

which are 20 percent pocketed.

Big Paul was very happy with me.

He knew he could count on me.

I had Johnny Keys cold make.

A wrong capo.

Where is Paul saying?

I had to do this right.

He's on his way.

You just said also al

Should I wait?

He is certainly in a file.

The traffic is a disaster.

Troublesome ball.

You call that wave?

What is your disability, 40?

Why, disability?

What clubs do you use?

I get mine here.

Dirty rat. You tricked me.

Just walking by, nothing happens.

What did he say?

- My heart.

What should we do with him?

- What is it?

I have heart problems.

The pills are in my pocket.

Is it?

Come.

If you want me to finish, then do it.

But let me not die of a heart attack.

It's okay. But quietly.

Call Paul. Say that we have him.

You had me pretty tuk.

You have played your part well.

He has no money.

Check it out.

Forget it.

- I'm not doing anything. This is a family matter.

It's not personal.

I get my orders.

35 years. You call that friendship?

So is life.

- That Paul. Dirty liar.

Watch your mouth. Do not talk

about my boss. Clear?

Before you do it,

I want to ask you two things.

He must be an expert.

- That is my size though.

I promised my wife

I would die without shoes.

May I take off?

- Is that all?

That's all.

Why had those shoes now?

That's between me and my wife.

That's a real guy.

He accepted it.

He was a real gangster.

He was not afraid.

I think it's a shame.

Tonight I do not sleep because of that

shoes question.

He was a real guy.

We were called by the White House.

Big Paul was satisfied.

One-third, one-third. I want a third

of money. One third of all.

I pass it on.

The Chinese, the Jews and the rest

get more than enough.

I'll talk to 'Fat Man'.

We get it though.

Would you like a cookie?

All talk to the President.

I want that money.

Something else. We have a

problem with 'Fat' Angie of Gotti.

He deals drugs. And for my part, he

the nephew of the Pope or Neil.

John might be a gambler,

but he is not a drug dealer.

He pays his debts than that

plumbing business?

You can not do with toilet seats sales.

I find this is just out.

- You do that.

Sammy and his buddy there.
