00:00:03.995 --> 00:00:05.338
Stop needling me, Vic.
00:00:05.538 --> 00:00:07.757
Well, talking about it shouldn't bother you.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.423
- You ashamed of praying?
- I didn't say so.
00:00:11.669 --> 00:00:15.219
I can arrange for you to start praying again
if you like it so much.
00:00:15.423 --> 00:00:18.001
There's that Donaldson killing
still hanging over your head.
00:00:18.343 --> 00:00:21.347
Why should you send me back?
I do my job. I'm with you all the way.
00:00:22.847 --> 00:00:24.144
Yeah, that's right.
00:00:25.683 --> 00:00:27.023
I depend on you, Joe.
00:00:28.052 --> 00:00:30.648
I'm just sour right now.
00:00:31.773 --> 00:00:35.448
That Anna's a walking rosary.
Gets on my nerves.
00:00:36.236 --> 00:00:38.364
Uncle Vic is real sore at me.
00:00:38.947 --> 00:00:41.007
Only your Aunt Anna understands you.
00:00:41.908 --> 00:00:45.208
In the whole world, only your aunt.
00:00:45.912 --> 00:00:49.997
I never knew the happiness
of a child all my own.
00:00:49.029 --> 00:00:52.885
And you are as mine. My Mario.
00:00:53.419 --> 00:00:56.343
So go to sleep and no more worry.
00:00:56.548 --> 00:00:59.001
I'm always here to watch over you.
00:01:11.396 --> 00:01:15.998
- Hello, Amato.
- Well, it took you a long time, Rollins.
00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:17.999
You could've taken a cab. I'd pay for it.
00:01:18.111 --> 00:01:22.999
I did, but I had to stop and mail a letter.
Just in case of an accident.
00:01:23.491 --> 00:01:24.788
Sit down.
00:01:27.999 --> 00:01:30.173
You figure you got reasons not to trust me?
00:01:31.416 --> 00:01:35.137
- Was I wrong?
- One hundred percent wrong.
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:39.072
Hot coffee?
We don't keep anything stronger in the house.
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:41.267
No, thanks.
00:01:43.136 --> 00:01:45.264
Well, no point in sarcasm.
00:01:45.471 --> 00:01:48.999
I try to be decent to people
and I expect people to be decent to me.
00:01:49.392 --> 00:01:50.001
Yeah.
00:01:51.005 --> 00:01:54.614
Everybody knows what a decent,
generous guy you are.
00:01:56.107 --> 00:01:58.999
Now, did you come here
to make cracks or talk?
00:01:58.651 --> 00:01:59.999
To listen.
00:02:00.999 --> 00:02:01.992
Okay.
00:02:03.999 --> 00:02:07.006
Now, the way I see it we both made mistakes.
Dumb ones.
00:02:07.999 --> 00:02:09.999
I turned Hammy loose on you
and then you roughed up my nephew.
00:02:10.008 --> 00:02:12.001
So the two mistakes cross each other out.
00:02:12.999 --> 00:02:15.008
- Okay?
- It's your arithmetic.
00:02:16.999 --> 00:02:18.001
I fired Hammy tonight.
00:02:19.013 --> 00:02:21.001
I made room for you in my organization.
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:24.999
The man's a comic.
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:29.999
No, no, no. I'm not being funny, I'm serious.
This is strictly legitimate. That's my way.
00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:34.001
Now, the job pays 200 a week
and it's got a future. Well?
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:36.001
You're wasting your time.
00:02:36.898 --> 00:02:40.001
Now, carrying grudges will get you what?
Will it pay your bills?
00:02:40.001 --> 00:02:43.999
Now, this way, my way,
you put money in the bank.
00:02:44.003 --> 00:02:46.166
You have security. You start living in style.
00:02:47.999 --> 00:02:48.751
How's that sound to you?
00:02:49.911 --> 00:02:50.958
What are you smoking?
00:02:52.001 --> 00:02:55.001
Looks like you'd rather be a hard guy.
00:02:55.333 --> 00:02:58.013
Rather make trouble. Bother me.
00:02:59.999 --> 00:03:02.001
- How long do you think you'll last?
- What's your guess?
00:03:03.005 --> 00:03:05.101
I don't have to guess!
