Crazy Joe, the arguments you raise on Frankie's behalf would carry weight as "mitigating circumstances" at a sentencing in a court of law. But Mafia has its own law.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
