That was based on a real incident, Barrett. A couple of Jersey based Genovese guys were picked up on a wiretap in a restaurant bathroom discussing plans to kill Gotti (on orders from Gigante). The Feds were then dutybound to warn Gotti, and probably saved his life in doing so.


i remember that, who were those jersey guys? I forgot... wasnt bobby manna one of them?


Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.
