Why was Schiff hit anyway? Was he involved in crime and slipped in some way or was he a normal businessman who didn't want to pay protection?

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
