I'm very good with a knife, but only in matters of business or some sort of reasonable complaint.
I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash. I need those politicians that you carry in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.
If you're worried about security for your million, the Tattaglia's will guarantee it.
My business is narcotics. I have fields in Turkey where they grow the poppy. And in Sicily I have the plants to process them into heroin. Now, I need cash, and I need protection from the police, for which I give a piece of the action.
