Joe Masseria and Gyp Rosetti in “Unfinished Business”

[to Rosetti, in Italian] I can't control you, I can't rely on you, and now I can't afford you.

Gyp Rosetti

[nervous] It's Easter Sunday, Joe.

Also April Fool's.

Gyp Rosetti

So what're we jokin' about?

I'm not joking. [gets up and walks away as his men advance on Rosetti]

Gyp Rosetti

Nucky Thompson. Arnold Rothstein.

What about them?

Gyp Rosetti

They're not losin' sleep about no 20 blocks of road on the East Side. They're workin' together. They're buildin' something a lot bigger than you and me.

Then let them do what they want.

Gyp Rosetti

Because you think you got what you have, right? But not for long. Things are changin'. That Luciano kid...

I straightened him out. You don't want...

Gyp Rosetti

He's not like you and me! Look who he works for, Joe! They're buildin' something, and it don't include us! Who's gonna own this place, huh? Heebs and Micks and back-stabbin' fucks that don't respect where they come from! After all the blood we put into it! [in Italian] What about us? What happens to us? [in English] You do what you gotta do with me, but you're gonna be in a war whether you like it or not.

Ah, you gonna save me, huh?

Gyp Rosetti

Give me your blessing. Let me finish what I started, but this time with enough juice to make it stick. I'll bring you Thompson.

What do I care about Thompson?

Gyp Rosetti

And I'll bring you Rothstein. Luciano and the kikes he runs with. I'll kill 'em all. And when I'm through, they're not gonna call you Joe the Boss no more - they're gonna call you Joe the King.
