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
