for his wife.

You know what my message to my

woman would be?

You have forced me to do so.

She said it so well with

Louie and her.

And now this.

You killed Louie.

What? Why would I do that?

You killed him.

He killed him.

You killed my husband.

- He was my best friend.

That would never do. There was sometimes

what, but I loved him.

They grew up together.

Sammy would never do such a thing.

He did it.

Linda, stop now.

I have everything for that.

She's really upset.

They are looking for someone to blame.

I understand.

The fact is that Louie had many enemies.

Suppose I knew who did it.

She gets him so back?

Let her blame me but give.

But one day she comes to me

her to apologize.

With me. I have a job for you.

Clear?

Forward Golden Passion.

Now outside.

Good. Forward.

Go ahead.

If we do not help, we get a

communist Central America...

That guy's a liar?

Than you.

I did not know that was possible.

The members of the

democratic opposition t...

What is really going on?

Trade unionists who are accustomed Sammy.

They do not talk to one another.

All roads lead to Sammy.

If I send Joe, then they talk with Joe.

So does it work simply.

How it works.

The democratic opposition without

Reagan and Italian muzak.

I can not hear.

I do not know which is worse.

Why all roads lead to Sammy?

Gotti raving.

His hairstyle suits him.

Look over there. There's that little

sewer rat in person.

Maybe we hear something.

Is Johnny there?

- Go on.

How you doin '?

- Great coffee.

I need to talk.

I sent Joe to the union.

But they only want to talk to you.

You should also always send others.

Do you like a little, will you?

What do you mean now?

You forget who's boss. They talk

not by me with the right man.

Listen, I care for you.

If you call, I come. I

do everything for you.

I know.

But think how the family sees this.

You're the boss.

I am happy with my place.

Or any other position that you give me.

You tell that bondslui they talk

with Joe or whomever I please.

Otherwise she added.

- I make it clear they do.

How can that be? I hear Sammy not.

Gotti not.

They have not gone back?

Then sleeps Smitty.

I get this dribble through my throat.

I'm going to get something to eat.

Take once a pizza with it.

What nerve. I work me 24 hours a day

and seven days a week bad for him.

He'd be grateful.

He's worried about my ambitions.

He just reads his press releases.

Your chances in life are seven

against five.

And if you stay where you are,

your chances are smaller.

But nobody listened to me.

Only the neon signs...

The more people you kill,

the greater the chance for revenge.

You can get away with

six guys repositioning.

But at number seven...

Suddenly... are all brothers, uncles

and nephews for lurking.

Previously if someone does not commute

in his house.

We live in a different era.

Your attention must never slacken.

Never.

I love him like a brother.

But I say it so many times against him.

Take it easy, love you.

You have 15 companies,

you have rebar and concrete...

Marble ..., construction, carpentry, asbestos.

What more could you want?

With each new business he conquers

the market under my flag.

I have more people.

Should I throw it out?

If I wanted to be a billionaire, I would

A selfish boss have been.

But that's not me.

You see this sandwich here?

I just need a good tuna sandwich.

You're easily pleased.

- Exactly.

Exactly. He did not love me.

Sammy can not just his own way.

Under Paul all went to 't construction,

and does Sammy.

He creates an army in a military

and the rest of the borgata is nothing.

Assign him his place.

Should I talk to him?

Sleeve will enjoy.

I take this with you.

Everything all right?

We are the Cosa Nostra.

You and I give it a good example.

They give me my part not.

- We have it harder.

The only thing you hear are complaints.

I feel like a sitting duck.

I can not even walk quietly.

I see only agents and traitors.

I've told you so many times.

We have too much familiarity.

Wherever we go, my house,

the cemetery, they are everywhere.

I'm sick of it and it should not.

What a job. Only misery and pain.

Who wants that?

Everyone wants more.

I need that rich life.

I do my best and I do nothing about.

Everyone benefits.

The informers were everywhere.

How much money do you get from him?

- Ten thousand dollars.

I've been waiting six months.

John had his back to be offended.

John wanted me to finish it.

John wanted to talk to him, but he did not.

So John gave the order.

John gave the orders.

If I myself did not,

I made sure it happened.

Moreover Chair Sleeve.

Gentlemen, good afternoon.

Let's hear that band.

And you know why Di Bono it goes?

He has not shown up.

Before we knew who was Di Bono,

He was already dead.

Now it's over. We count them.

Fifteen years ago I had not a penny.

And you should now see. The city is ours.

Laugh 's a bit. This is our wedding.

What is it?

What's on your mind?

You feel you might want to,

but I do not.

What are you saying?

When the phone rings, I'm scared stiff.

Every time you leave the house,

may be the last time.

You know I would never let that happen.

The kids and I never see you anymore.

All day, all night.

Get you and the kids are not everything

Except you.

I have no one to talk to.

I have no friends.
