:57:02
What did you read?
:57:04
-Ever hear of Machiavelli?
-Who?
:57:06
Machiavelli. He's a famous
writer from 500 years ago.
:57:10
Availability, he always said.
:57:12
-Availability?
-That's right.
:57:14
Listen to me.
:57:16
Do you know why I live here?
:57:20
Availability.
:57:21
I want to stay close to everything.
:57:23
Being here,
I can see trouble immediately.
:57:27
Trouble is like a cancer.
:57:28
You have to get it early,
before it kills you.
:57:32
You have to cut it out.
:57:34
Capisci? Huh? Come on.
:57:37
You're worried about Louie Dumps.
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
:57:43
Worry about yourself,
your family, and your friends.
:57:48
It comes down to availability.
:57:51
The people who see me every day,
that are on my side,
:57:54
they feel safe cos I'm close,
and they have more reason to love me.
:58:00
But those who want
to do otherwise think twice,
:58:03
cos they know I'm close,
and they have more reason to fear me.
:58:08
Is it better to be loved or feared?
:58:11
It's a good question.
:58:13
It's nice to be both, but it's difficult.
:58:16
If I had my choice,
I would rather be feared.
:58:21
Fear lasts longer than love.
:58:24
Friendships bought with money
mean nothing.
:58:26
If I make a joke, everybody laughes.
I'm funny, but not that funny.
:58:33
Fear keeps them loyal,
but the trick is not to be hated.
:58:37
I treat them good, but not too good.
:58:40
I give them enough to need me,
but they don't hate me.
:58:47
Don't forget this.
:58:51
Sonny,
I've got some beautiful veal today,
:58:54
and some nice linguini.
