Mr. Cicci, from the year 1942
to the present time,
1:03:08
you were an employee
of the Genco Olive Oil Company?
1:03:12
That's right.
1:03:14
But in actuality you were a member
of the Corleone crime organisation.
1:03:21
No, we called it
the Corleone family, Senator.
1:03:26
What was your position?
1:03:29
At first, like everybody else,
I was a soldier.
1:03:32
- What is that?
- A button, you know, Senator.
1:03:35
No, I don't know. Tell me.
1:03:39
When the boss says "push a button" on
a guy, I push a button. See, Senator?
1:03:45
Mr. Questadt.
1:03:47
You mean you kill people?
1:03:49
You kill people at the...
behest of your superiors.
1:03:58
Yeah, that's right.
1:04:00
And the head of your family
is Michael Corleone?
1:04:05
Yeah, Counsellor. Michael Corleone.
1:04:08
Did you ever get such an order
directly from Michael Corleone?
1:04:13
No, I never talked to him.
1:04:15
Mr. Cicci, could you amplify
your answer a bit?
1:04:19
- Do what?
- Could you expand on your answer?
1:04:23
I'm particularly interested in knowing,
was there always a buffer involved?
1:04:29
Someone in between you
and your superiors who gave the order.
1:04:33
Right, a buffer.
The family had a lot of buffers!
1:04:39
You may find this very amusing, but
the members of this committee do not.
