"Bone For Tuna". What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
TSTonino Sandretti
The kid's Irish. The pronunciation was off...
I know what he meant! Who the fuck is Nucky Thompson to wish me good luck? In Italian, no less, like he's fuckin' mocking me? He's real fuckin' cute, I'll tell you that! Sets me up to lose, pulls out of the whiskey deal at the last minute, and then says "bon fortuna" like he's rootin' for me to get back on my feet. Push me off a cliff, why don't ya?
TSTonino Sandretti
I don't think...
Good luck flappin' your arms on the way down! Am I right?
TSTonino Sandretti
Sure, but...
The attitude on him. Scrawny Irish prick. I need his blessing to make my way in the world?
TSTonino Sandretti
I don't...
I need him to lecture me? Nothing's personal? What the fuck is life if it's not personal?
That's 1200 cases, 24 bottles per... that 28,800 bottles. That's math. That's useful. That's what my father used, on account he laid bricks. He built churches, bridges... he came home at night, he smelled like sweat, not fish. Broke his back, dead at 50. Layin' around in a fuckin' boat, he would seen 100, but not him. Not fuckin' him. Not like your father, right, Franco?

Please, Mr. Rosetti... I'm a fucking idiot, I'm sorry! Please, Tonino, for the love of Christ!
TSTonino Sandretti
Gyp, he's my mother's brother's kid. He didn't mean no disrespect. He's just a fuckin' know-it-all. Break his legs, anything... not this. Please, I'm beggin' you. Gyp, he's my blood!
TSTonino Sandretti
You know how it is.
You're a lucky fella, Franco. [to one of his henchmen] Gimme that.
[Gyp's henchman hands him a shovel]
[to Tonino] Because I respect you.
[Gyp bashes Franco's head in with the shovel]
[imitating Nucky] Relax, it's a party.
Gyp Rosetti I'm making a big decision. From now on, I'm only selling hooch every other Thursday. Because I have important friends. I'm an important person. I have important garters holding up my very important socks! Do you know who have any idea who the fuck I am? [mimes glasses over his eyes] Do you? DO YOU?!
TSTonino Sandretti
[bemused] You're Nucky Thompson.
I'm Barney Google, with the goo-goo-googly eyes! AND I NEVER, EVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL!
