  • Fanucci extortion - Vito the budding Don
Quote
Tessio: 600 bucks -- suppose we don't pay?
Quote
Clemenza: You know his gang, Tessio -- real animals Maranzalla himself let Fanucci work this neighborhood
He's got connections with the cops, too We have to pay him $200 each -- everybody agreed?
Vito: Why do we have to pay him?
Clemenza: Vito, leave this to us
Vito: He's one person, we're three He's got guns, we've got guns Why should we give him the money we sweated for?
Clemenza: This is his neighborhood!
Vito: I know two bookies who don't give anything to Fanucci
Clemenza: Who?
Vito: Uh -- Joe the Greek on Tessimo Avenue -- Frank Pennitanlo -- and Tachinko Schrabo They don't pay Fanucci
Tessio: If they don't pay Fanucci, they pay somebody else who collects for Maranzalla
Clemenza: We'll all be better off if we pay him Don't worry
Vito: Now what I say stays in this room If you both like, why not give me $50 each to pay Fanucci?
I guarantee he'll accept what I give him
Tessio: If Fanucci says $200 -- he means it, Vito
Quote
Vito: I'll reason with him Leave everything to me I'll take care of everything I never lie to my friends
Tomorrow you both go talk to Fanucci He'll ask for the money Tell him you'll pay whatever he wants
Don't argue with him I'll go and get him to agree Don't argue with him since he's so tough
Clemenza: How can you get him to take less?
Vito: That's my business Just remember that I did you a favor Is it a deal?
