:08:01
...or a beef in the numbers...
:08:03
...only the top guys spoke
with Paulie about the problem.

:08:07
Everything was one-on-one.
Paulie hated conferences.

:08:10
He didn't want anybody
hearing what he said...

:08:13
...or anyone listening to
what he was being told.

:08:16
Hundreds of guys depended on him, and
he got a piece of everything they made.

:08:20
It was a tribute, like in the old country,
except they were doing it in America.

:08:25
All they got from Paulie was protection
from the guys trying to rip them off.

:08:29
That's what it's all about. That's
what the FBI could never understand.

:08:34
What Paulie and the Organization does...
:08:36
...is protect people who can't
go to the cops. That's it.

:08:41
They're like the police department
for wiseguys.

:08:54
People looked at me differently,
and they knew I was with somebody.

:08:58
I didn't have to wait in line at the bakery
on Sunday morning for fresh bread.

:09:02
The owner knew who I was with, and no
matter how many people were waiting...

:09:06
...I was taken care of first.
:09:09
Our neighbors stopped parking in
our driveway, even though we had no car.

:09:13
At 13...
:09:14
...I was making more money than most
of the grown-ups in the neighborhood.

:09:19
I had it all.
:09:28
One day...
:09:30
One day, some neighborhood kids carried
my mother's groceries all the way home.

:09:34
You know why?
:09:36
It was out of respect.
:09:40
What do you think?
:09:43
Aren't my shoes great?
:09:47
You look like a gangster.
:09:48
They shot me. Help!
:09:52
Henry, shut the door.
:09:55
That was the first time
I had ever seen anyone shot.

:09:59
Can't have that in here. Jesus Christ!
