Don Francesco DeMarco : Do you think we want an ape like you for a partner?
Charlie Adamo : When I took over the West Coast it was full of apes. And the organization was in the toilet. Now I straightened it out - me - and nobody else. Now I'm takin' heat. Why? For what? How the hell do I run this district if I'm in the dark? What's the matter - I can't make an investment? I'm not allowed to make a dollar? I ain't got that right?
Don Francesco DeMarco : When someone talks to us about rights, he ends up like Gennarino Esposito, y'know? And with me, you don't raise your voice.
