He's f***in' goin'.

I know you're thinkin'

Castellano said use Galione.

He should've given us

Sammy Gravano.

You're thinkin' that Mick bartender's

gonna make us from f***in' mug shots.

I'm not thinkin'.

You're thinkin'. I'm eatin'.

Now, he's goin'.

The bottom line isJohn Gotti...

clipped a soldier in my decina...

without my okay.

That's a flagrant violation.

John Gotti should f***in' die.

No need to curse, Paul.

No need.

You know me, Don Carlo.

I'm a street guy.

If I can't curse, I can't talk.

You sent a f***in' moron

on this hit...

who endangered the life ofa young man

I think ofas a son!

Galione deserved to be clipped!

John Gotti was doing a piece ofwork

that could buy him 25 years.

That's f***in' immaterial!

The bottom line is that--

Bottom line.

That's weasel words!

My God,

a businessman talks like that.

What the hell kind ofword is that?

Paul, you don't know the streets.

I mean, you never have.

John Gotti clipped your scumbag soldier

because your soldier deserved it.

John Gotti is Cosa Nostra.

The rule was broken.

Yes, it calls for Gotti to die.

Was there reason for breakin'

the rule so powerful...

that it wasjustifiied?

We need all theJohn Gotti's

we can get.

But we survive by our rules.

If it was my call, he would go.

Some combination, huh?

Your Frankie catchin'

and my son passin'?

Your kid's got a great arm.

Come here, you!

You gotta cradle the ball more.

Let me show you somethin'.

When he snaps it at you,

I want you to suck it in.

Suck it in. That's it.

Do it again.

He's gonna snap it at you--

a lateral pass.

- You gotta suck it in.

- Ready to go home yet?

No, I got my bike.

I'm gonna ride home.

- You were great.

- Thanks.

- You're doin' great, man.

- Thanks.

- You're my champ, you know that?

- Yeah.

Hey! Take that.

How's the couch business?

You still sellin' Castro convertibles?

It's a living.

Can't complain.

We gotta run.

You got a great arm, kid.

Thanks.

See ya next week.

I've been negotiating all night.

Just take a walk, all right?

- Negotiatin' what?

- Your f***in' life!

- For takin' out a f***in' coke head?

- Be quiet!

Sit down.

I said, sit down!

You know, I've clipped

a lot of guys in my life.

Close friends.

Guys I didn't know.

I didn't always agree

that the guy should be clipped.

But I never questioned the orders...

and I never went off half-cocked...

and clipped somebody

I wasn't supposed to!

Now, you shut up!

You just listen.

Big Paul went down to Don Carlo

for permission to have you whacked.

It came this close.

I told Don Carlo

you were like a son to me.

That touched the old man.

He told Paul to give you a pass.
