Tom: When I meet with the Tattaglia people, should I insist that all his drug middlemen have clean records?

Vito: Tom, you're not meeting with anyone.

Tom: Not meeting? Why not?

Vito: Do you have to ask? Let's review Tom. Since you became Consigliere, what's happened? Well, I've been shot five times, Sonny was murdered, Fredo's off in Las Vegas, and Michael's hiding in Sicily. Connie's been beat up a few times by Carlo, we've been in a war, and business is down over 50%. And on top of all that,I've got PETA picketing the mall.

Tom: But, but ...

Vito: But nothin' Tom, my kraut-mick friend.
