INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the game script for Mafia, an awesome game that lets you have a
taste of the organized crime and mob wars of Prohibition-era America. Being
such a gangster tale, the game boasts an impressive storyline. Even though a
lot of time has passed since it first came out in 2002, I thought it would be
nice to write out its script to appreciate the story once more. The script
contains the entire dialogue from the main campaign of the game, supported by
appropriate action lines in brackets. There are also some extra comments you
get from characters when you do something you shouldn't do in the level (like
crashing your car or attacking someone you shouldn't) and these extra comments
are placed between -- markings, signifying that they are not part of the main
dialogue. After the campaign I included some other extra comments that aren't
level-specific and at the end there is the script for the tutorial, which isn't
connected to the story. I don't think I missed anything from the main dialogue
but there are a few extra conversations that you can eavesdrop on in some
levels and I couldn't transcribe all of them because many don't have subtitles
and are difficult to listen to. If you'd like to help me out with those you can
send me an e-mail and I'll be glad to acknowledge your help. There are more
details on the specific conversations I'm missing in the "Final Words" part at
the end of the document.
Anyway, enjoy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1. Prologue
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The protagonist of the game, Thomas Angelo, or shortly Tommy, gets off a
train at the station. After leaving the station, he walks across the street
and enters a cafe. He approaches a lone man sitting at a table.)
Tommy: Detective Norman? Can I join you?
(He hangs his coat and hat at the rack and sits down.)
Tommy: Sorry for the delay, but I didn't want anybody seein' me. If you
know what I mean.
(A waitress comes to the table.)
Waitress: What can I get you, sir?
Tommy: Just a coffee.
Waitress: Coming right up.
(She leaves.)
Norman: It's not my habit to sit with people like you.
Tommy: Got a business proposition for you, detective.
Norman: I ain't no businessman, and even if I were, I wouldn't be doing
business with the likes of you.
Tommy: I don't usually do business with your kind either. But this is a bit
of a strange deal. Good for you and your superiors, and good for me. It
concerns a certain kind of trade.
Norman: Trade?
Tommy: Well, let's just say that I hold a high position in a not so legal
organization. It's just the kind of organization people such as yourself
would like to know a lot about. And I, on the other hand, for certain
reasons don't want...
(The waitress brings Tommy's coffee.)
Waitress: Your coffee, sir.
Tommy: Thanks.
Tommy: I have my own personal reasons why I don't want to be associated
with this organization. It ain't too easy to leave this kind of business.
If you know what I mean...
Norman: I think I know where you're coming from. You'll get a bullet in
your head, if you don't disappear quickly, right?
Tommy: That's not the only reason. Got any kids, detective? I've got a wife
and daughter. I don't want them to have any problems because of me.
Norman: Yeah? Well, I ain't just gonna hand out protection to any wop
crook. You should've thought about them kids before, 'cos I...
Tommy: Sure, sure... Listen, I don't want something for nothing, so here's
the deal: Does the name Salieri mean anything to you?
Norman: Salieri?! It damn well does. You got something in common with him?
Tommy: You could say that. I've worked for him for several years. Now he
wants to rub me out. If you protect my family and me I'll tell you
everything. Names, dates, accounts, everything. Enough to put him away for
life.
Norman: I ain't Santa Claus. If I go to the chief with this I need to know
everything you know, and I have to be sure you'll testify in court.
Tommy: Sure. If you ain't in a hurry I'll tell you my whole story, and all
the deals I worked on over the years.
Norman: Okay, I've got time and I'm listening...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2. An Offer You Can't Refuse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autumn 1930
(Tommy is seen getting out of his taxi at a street corner.)
Tommy: (narrating) I used to be a taxi driver. Even though I wasn't making
much and I worked from dawn to dusk, I was glad to be working.
(The camera switches to a chase between two cars in a tunnel. The occupants
of the cars are shooting at each other. It is apparently a mafia shootout.
The view switches back to Tommy, who lights a cigarette by his taxi.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was a bad time and some other people were worse off than
me.
(The camera shows another cinematic view of the chase and then returns to
Tommy.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was that very taxi that drew Salieri's people to me in
the first place. One day I was on my break and I was just hanging out.
Suddenly I heard a tremendous crash...
(A massive crash is heard and then a gangster wielding a pistol appears at
the corner of the street. Another gangster shouts at him from behind.)
Gangster: Sam! They got me, dammit...
Sam: Climb up and move... There's a taxi, we'll be okay...
(The gangster named Sam points his gun at Tommy, who drops his cigarette
from his hand in surprise.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was clear to me that these guys had to get out of there
fast, so I thought it was best to cooperate, rather than ending up with a
hole in my head.
(The other gangster emerges from the corner. Sam grabs Tommy and drags him
towards the taxi.)
Sam: Move it... come on...
(They get into the car along with the other gangster, who points his gun at
Tommy's face.)
Tommy: Where to?
Gangster: Anywhere! Fast... and I hope you're damn fast... faster than Sam
here was...
Tommy: (narr.) I burned rubber outta there like a bat outta hell. It didn't
matter where, just away from those gentlemen who were chasing my new
customers.
(Tommy starts driving away.)
Gangster: Now listen carefully. We gotta shake these clowns behind us. If
you don't do it then we're done for and that includes you! Step on it, kid!
(A chase ensues between Tommy's taxi and the car of the enemy gangsters.
They take shots at the taxi and sometimes try to ram it. Sam and the other
gangster with shoot at them from the taxi in exchange. They shout at Tommy
and the enemy gansters during the chase.)
Sam: Move it if you wanna save your own ass!
Sam: Can't you go any faster!?
Sam: Step on it, they're still on our tail!
Gangster: Kill 'em, Sam!
Sam: TAKE THIS!
Sam: DIE!
Gangster: IDIOT GO!
Gangster: MOVVVVE IT!
Gangster: We're finished!
Sam: Faster!
Gangster: Try and use the steering wheel once in a while.
Sam: Shit, we'll never lose them this way.
Gangster: I don't wanna die!
Sam: Step on it or we're done for!
(Tommy eventually manages to lose the tail.)
Sam: Great! We've made it!
Gangster: Good work, brother. Now take us to Salieri's Bar. I'll show you
the way.
(Tommy starts driving towards Salieri's Bar, in Little Italy on the other
side of the city.)
Gangster: It's takin' a bit long, ain't it?
(They reach the bar.)
Gangster: Finally, we're home.
(Tommy stops the car. Two guards are seen standing by the entrance to the
bar.)
Gangster: Wait here, friend, Sam will get a little something from Mr.
Salieri.
(The two men get out of the car.)
Gangster: Thanks for your help.
(They enter the bar. Tommy waits inside the car, while the two guards eye
him suspiciously. He grows visibly nervous. Then Sam walks out of the bar
and approaches him slowly. Tommy tries to start the car in fear when he
begins to pull something out of his coat, thinking it is a gun. However, it
is an envelope and Sam hands it to him.)
Sam: Mr. Salieri would like to thank you as well as myself and Paulie. It's
compensation for the damage to your car and your services. It should be
enough.
Tommy: Yes, of course, thanks. Give my regards to Mr. Salieri.
Sam: Mr. Salieri wants you to know that he is very grateful to you. If you
ever need anything you can come back and ask for help, because Mr. Salieri
doesn't forget about friends who have helped him out. If you're interested
maybe we could find a job for you here and it would pay well. We always
have positions for guys as good as you.
Tommy: Okay, okay... I'll think about it, thanks, really thanks... I'd
better go... to fix the car and so on...
Sam: All right, I understand... Just think about it... And I hope it's
clear that this matter is only between ourselves! Take care, kid.
Tommy: (narrating) When I opened the envelope, I almost had a heart attack.
(Tommy is seen sitting at a table in his home, the money given to him by
Sam in front of him.)
Tommy: (narr.) There was more than it would cost to do the repairs. But I
didn't for a minute think about their offer. I didn't want to join some
criminals, even if they had all the money in the world. It's better to be
poor and alive than rich and dead, right? I was gonna get my cab repaired
and try to forget it all as soon as possible. As my mother always said: You
can never predict what God has in store for you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3. Running Man
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Tommy is in his taxi, in line with other taxis, waiting for customers. A
customer soon approaches his car.)
Customer: Hey, could you take me to the church downtown please?
Tommy: Okay, okay.
(Tommy takes the customer to the church.)
Customer: Okay, drop me off here at the steps.
(He stops near the steps leading to the church.)
Customer: Thanks, here's the fare.
(The man gets out of the car. Another customer approaches.)
Customer: Are you taken? I need to go to the hospital in New Ark.
Tommy: No problem.
(He drives to the hospital.)
Customer: Here it is, drop me off in front of the entrance.
(Tommy stops before the entrance.)
Customer: Thanks, here's the fare.
(The man gets out and a female customer arrives.)
Customer: I'm lucky you're here! I need to get to the theater on Central
Island! Take the Guiliano Bridge so that we can get there quickly.
Tommy: Whatever you want!
(He drives to the theater.)
Customer: Here it is, drop me off here at the corner.
(He stops at the corner.)
Customer: Here's the money, goodbye.
(The woman gets out and another customer arrives.)
Customer: Good day. Could you take me to Hoboken, the Pompeii Bar?
Tommy: Sure thing, get in.
(Tommy drives to the bar in Hoboken.)
Customer: We're here, drop me off at the entrance please.
(Tommy stops before the entrance.)
Customer: There you go, keep the change.
(The customer gets out of the car and another man approaches the taxi.)
Customer: I need to get to the department store car lot in Little Italy,
can you take me there?
Tommy: No problem, get in.
(The customer gets into the car.)
Customer: Go across the Guiliano Bridge and then through the tunnel. It's
the shortest way.
(Tommy drives to the department store in Little Italy.)
Customer: Here we are, drop me off at the car lot.
(He stops at the car lot.)
Customer: This should cover it, keep the change.
(The customer gets out of the car.)
Tommy: And I need a coffee break.
Tommy: (narrating) I had a cup of coffee and relaxed in the car while I was
waiting to see if I could get another customer.
(Tommy is seen inspecting the front left tire of his taxi.)
Tommy: (narr.) I noticed I wasn't far from Salieri's Bar...
(Tommy gets back into the car. Then, suddenly, the windshield is hit by a
baseball bat.)
Tommy: JESUS!
(A gangster opens the door and grabs Tommy by the arm.)
Gangster: We got you, you little rat!
(He pulls Tommy out of the car.)
Gangster: Mr. Morello is pretty angry with you. We're gonna have to teach
you a little lesson, so you remember that it ain't right.
(A second gangster starts smashing Tommy's taxi with his baseball bat.)
Tommy: (narr.) Those bastards remembered the license plate of my car and
took it on themselves to hunt me down...
Gangster: Louie here'll fix your face a little...
(Just as the second gangster is about to hit him with the bat, Tommy pushes
them and starts running away.)
Gangster: Finish him off! Don't waste any more time on him!
(The gangsters start shooting at Tommy as he runs.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was clear to me that I had to get outta there fast. I
couldn't handle that animal on my own. I said to myself that now was
probably the right moment for Mr. Salieri to show his gratitude. Salieri's
Bar was just down the street and the sight of it was certainly a lot nicer
than a baseball bat to my head.
(Tommy enters an alleyway, dodging the bullets. The gangsters chase him.)
Gangster: I'll put ya out of your misery!
Gangster: Stop, you bastard!
Gangster: Blow his head off!
(Tommy gets back onto the street from the alleyway and quickly enters a
smaller passageway. A man is standing there.)
Man: Where the hell is she? I said three o'clock in the passageway!
(As Tommy moves further, a conversation between a man and a woman is
heard.)
Man: You're right there, honey! Who knows what skeletons they've got in
their closets.
Woman: I wouldn't be surprised.
(Tommy gets back onto the street while the gangsters continue to chase him.
Two men are talking on the sidewalk of the street.)
Man 1: Well, he said he'd finally have all the things we needed, but maybe
you oughtta ask him about the gear, or he'll forget.
Man 2: Great. Then I'll stop by, take it easy.
Man 1: You too.
(Tommy enters another alleyway. There is a woman on a balcony here, and a
man talking to her from below.)
Man: Heap of junk.
Man: Leave it alone, Marie!
(The gangsters arrive in the alley.)
Woman: Oh my God, Joe. Those thugs have got a gun, honey! Hurry up! Police,
they're trying to kill my husband!
(The gangsters continue to chase Tommy.)
Gangster: I'm warning you, you bastard!
Gangster: You ain't got a chance, cabby boy!
Gangster: Move it, Lou! Don't let him get away!
(Tommy leaves the alley through a narrow passageway and gets back to the
main street. A woman is waiting there.)
Woman: Where is he? He said to meet him at three in the passageway.
(Tommy goes across the street and finally reaches Salieri's Bar. The two
gangsters arrive after him, look inside, hide their guns and enter the bar.
A few seconds later gunshots are heard. Then the bartender opens the door,
takes a look outside, and changes the "Open" sign to "Closed". Next, Tommy
is seen sitting at the bar, having a drink with Salieri's men. Paulie, the
gangster who was with Sam in his taxi is sitting next to him.)
Tommy: (narr.) Salieri's boys saved my skin that time, but I certainly
wasn't in a good situation. I had paid off my debts for the car repairs,
but my boss didn't want to employ anyone who's in the mob. It just wasn't
good business. When I saw the fancy get-up of Salieri's boys, I thought
that it can't be too bad to work for him. Besides, I had nothing to lose.
Morello was out to get me, so driving a cab wasn't the best job. Plus, the
prospect of Salieri's dough wasn't so terrible... So, like I always say:
"Better to die young and loaded..."
(Salieri's men are seen putting the corpses of Morello's two gangsters into
a truck in the backyard of the bar.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4. Molotov Party
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Tommy is sitting at a table with Don Salieri, Sam and Paulie in the
backroom of the bar, this time dressed in a black suit like Sam and Paulie.
A balding, middle-aged man wearing eyeglasses is standing next to Salieri.)
Salieri: Well, it looks like Morello is really trying to make me mad. But
I'm a reasonable person. What do they call you, son?
Tommy: Thomas Angelo.
Salieri: I've decided to give you a shot, Tommy. I like new faces. We're
one big family here. You already know Paulie and Sam. Frank here is my
right hand and looks after the legal side of our business. The one behind
the bar is Luigi. This business ain't easy to swallow, but Luigi's a
wonderful cook. Paul will introduce you to Vincenzo and Ralph. There are a
lot of us, but those should be enough for now.
Salieri: Now listen, and listen good, we have some rules around here: Don't
cross paths with the cops. They're on our payroll, so they'll leave you
alone, but if you go too far, they'll all come after you, money or no
money... If they ever pick you up, say nothing and I will take care of you.
I show my gratitude to those people that help me. And there aren't many
left who betrayed me... Capisci?
Tommy: Yes, Mr. Salieri.
Salieri: I'm glad. Today I'll give you a chance to get back at those
bastards who wrecked your taxi. We'll see what you're made of. Morello has
a bar where all his gorillas go. They all have their cars parked behind the
fence next to the bar. If you're good, they won't be there tomorrow
morning... Paulie'll go with you, just in case. Go see Vincenzo for
equipment and Ralph for some wheels...
(Tommy and Paulie leave the room.)
Frank: I wouldn't trust him so much. He seemed hesitant, he's just accepted
now because he has no choice.
Salieri: We'll see, Frank, we'll see... I'm more concerned about what
Morello's problem is. Does he really want to start a war?
(The scene switches to Tommy and Paulie going up a staircase in the
backyard of the bar.)
Paulie: Vincenzo is the Don's gun expert, they've known each other since
they were kids. He gets you whatever you want, Tommy guns to cannons. Vinny
can set you up. I always pay him a visit before a job.
(Paulie opens the door to Vincenzo's room.)
Paulie: Buongiorno, Vincenzo!
Vincenzo: Ciao, Paulie!
Paulie: This here's Tom... Just started up with us.
Vincenzo: Pleased to meet you, Tom! What can I do for the both of yours?
Paulie: We've got a job to do, we need something to write off a few cars.
(Vincenzo points to a baseball bat.)
Vincenzo: This classic piece of sports equipment should do the job, and if
not, I've mixed up a few cocktails.
(He puts a box full of Molotov cocktails on the table.)
Vincenzo: Careful with 'em, though.
(Tommy takes the bat and Paulie takes the Molotov cocktails.)
Paulie: Thanks a lot, Vincenzo.
Vincenzo: Bring back the bat, it's my nephew's!
Paulie: Sure thing!
(Tommy and Paulie leave Vincenzo's room and walk towards the garage.)
Paulie: Ralph, who I'll introduce you to, is a complete idiot, but he's got
a special way with cars. I don't get how such a moron could know anything
about anything, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
(They enter the garage, where Ralph is working on a car.)
Ralph: Ha ha ha, a v-v-visit.
Paulie: Hey, Ralphy.
Ralph: I s-s-see you're still limping, so we got two cripples working here.
Paulie: That's right, but I ain't a fool. Ralph, this is Tom... If you
bring him a stolen car, Tommy, he'll make it your own. And no one'll know
the difference.
(Tommy and Ralph shake hands.)
Paulie: Ralph, Tom and me have a job to do. You're supposed to have some
wheels for us.
Ralph: Right, hehe, here it is, he, it ain't no hot-rod, hehe, but it
should really do for you.
(Ralph shows them a Bolt Ace Fordor car.)
Paulie: Thanks, Ralphy. Let's go!
(Tommy and Paulie get in the car and drive to Morello's bar. Three cars are
parked in the car lot next to the bar. There is also a wooden shed there.
One of Morello's gangsters is guarding the entrance to the lot.)
Paulie: Okay, we're here. Don't go through the front, find another way.
Take out the guard quietly so you don't arouse any attention. Smash the
cars up with the bat and save the fireworks for last. There could be
something nice in that shed, take a look. Good luck, buddy.
Tommy: Thanks, I'll be back in a little while.
--
(The guard reacts and opens fire if he sees Tommy.)
Guard: What are you doing here? Get out of here! Boys! Come and watch me
kill this punk!
--
(Tommy gets out of the car and enters the backyard from the back through a
passageway. He sneaks up on the guard and takes him out with the baseball
bat. He then damages the cars and checks the shed. There is a Falconer car
in there and Tommy drives it out of the lot. When Paulie sees him in the
car, he gets to the driver's seat and they together drive back to Salieri's
Bar. They find Salieri waiting for them at a table.)
Paulie: So we're back, boss.
Salieri: Wonderful, take a seat. It all went well?
Paulie: Sure, boss, he's a natural.
(Tommy and Paulie sit down at the table.)
Paulie: Before they could say "genolees" they were wheel-less! And before
they could recover, we were gone. Morello is probably pretty pissed right
now.
Salieri: Really? I'm glad to hear it.
Paulie: He's one tough customer.
Salieri: In that case, welcome to the family, Tommy.
(Salieri stands up and hugs Tommy.)
Salieri: You've passed the first test, and now we've got a new member.
Paulie: I'd like to take him into the outfit, boss. You can see he ain't
scared. And he's done real good.
Salieri: You didn't disappoint me, Tommy. Now, let's drink!
Tommy: Thanks...
(They raise their glasses for a toast.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5. Ordinary Routine
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Tommy, Salieri, Paulie and Sam are sitting in the backroom of the bar,
with Frank standing next to the Don.)
Salieri: Today we're gonna visit a few places to collect some protection
money. Two restaurants and a motel outside of town. Bill at the motel was
late last time, because he had a few problems. So today he'll pay a little
more.
Frank: You may have heard about how criminals can prey on businesses using
various threats. That certainly isn't the case with us. People who pay us
receive services, services the police certainly can't provide them with.
Last month, for example, Sam and Paulie here solved a serious problem of
violence in a delightful restaurant. The owner is now satisfied that
nothing of that sort will happen there again.
Salieri: (to Tommy) You'll do the driving. Paulie and Sam will do the
collecting. It'll be routine. Tell Ralph to give you a car and you can go.
Tommy: Okay, boss.
Salieri: (to Frank) Well, you and I'll have a drink. What do you say,
Frank?
(Tommy, Paulie and Sam leave. Tommy goes to Vincenzo.)
Tommy: Hey, Vincenzo, I need some kind of gun.
Vincenzo: Hey, Tom! I think this would do the trick.
(He puts a Colt 1911 pistol on the table.)
Tommy: It should work. I wasn't planning on using it anyway. Thanks.
(Tommy then goes to Ralph.)
Tommy: Hey, Ralphy, me and the boys have got a job to do and I need some
wheels.
Ralph: Hey, I s... sorted ou... out what you brought me l... last time. It
is a go... good m... motor, Tom. It has almost 60 horsepower and goes a
good 75 miles per hour. He has four s... speeds and b... break servos. S...
S... Simply b... b... beautiful! Also had a look at how you can best s...
steal one.
Tommy: I used to drive one when I was a cabby, so I know how to get into
one, Ralphy.
Ralph: Well, then I got another little number. It has about 40 horsepower
and goes at almost 60 miles an hour.
(Ralph leads Tommy to a Bolt Model B Fordor car and shows him how to pick
its lock.)
Ralph: Ain't nothing swanky, but it's a good enough drive. You get into it
easy. Just take t... t... this little baby and stick it in here, p... p...
pry it a little and when it clicks you've got it... It's a p... piece a
c... cake...
Tommy: Thanks, Ralphy.
(Tommy gets in the car and Paulie and Sam get in too. Tommy drives out of
the backyard of the bar.)
Paulie: Okay, first we'll go to a restaurant on Central Island.
(They get to the restaurant.)
Paulie: Stop! Here it is.
(Tommy stops the car. Paulie gets out and goes into the restaurant. He
comes back after a while with a bag of money.)
Paulie: And now to Hoboken to the Pompeii Bar.
(They get to their next destination.)
Paulie: Here it is. Pull in, Tom.
(Tommy stops next to the Pompeii Bar. Paulie collects the money and
returns.)
Paulie: Now we're goin' to take in the country air. We're goin' to Clark's
Motel out of town.
(Tommy drives to the motel just outside of the city and parks the car next
to the building. They all get out.)
Paulie: Wait for us here, Tom, we'll be back in a bit.
Tommy: Okay.
Paulie: Let's go.
(Paulie and Sam go into the motel. Tommy smokes a cigarette while he is
waiting for them. Suddenly several gunshots are heard. The door opens and
Paulie walks out, holding a wound in his stomach.)
Paulie: Shit... Bastards... Tom, I... I took one...
(He collapses.)
Paulie: It hurts...
(Tommy rushes to help him.)
Tommy: Jesus Christ, Paulie!
(A gangster appears at the door and points his gun at Tommy.)
Gangster: Tell Salieri, from here on out this place is ours! Capisci? Don't
come back here or you'll end up in worse shape than your friends.
(The gangster walks back inside and closes the door.)
Paulie: Get Sam... They want to beat some information out of him, get him
out of there...
Tommy: But I gotta get you to a doctor...
Paulie: That'll wait, first get Sam...
(Tommy drags Paulie next to their car and takes out his pistol.)
Tommy: Screw regular routine!
(All the doors of the motel are locked, but Tommy manages to enter by
climbing to a balcony. Inside he kills several gangsters. Once all the men
in the restaurant area are dead, an unarmed man appears from a sideroom.)
Man: Lookee here, another customer for a face job! C'mon then, sonny.
(The man attacks Tommy with his fists but Tommy kills him. Then he enters
the room from which the man came out. Sam is lying on the floor inside.)
Tommy: Get up, Sam, it's over. He really went to work on you, buddy.
(Tommy helps Sam get up.)
Sam: Argh, Christ...
Tommy: It's nothing, you'll be alright... The doctor'll put you back
together again. You tough as nails.
(As they slowly walk out of the room, a man comes up on them from the back
and punches Tommy in the face, which flings him away.)
Tommy: Oh shit!
(Tommy kills the man who attacks him with his fists and then gets back to
Sam.)
Tommy: That's it, I'll get you back in the car. Everything'll be okay...
(Suddenly another gangster appears from a room next to the bar and points
his gun at Tommy and Sam. He holds the bag of money in his other hand.)
Gangster: DON'T MOVE, SCUMBAG! Or I'll fill you with holes! C'mon! Just try
it. You won't get past me!
Tommy: Sure thing, buddy. Just stay cool... everything's okay... just go...
no problem.
Gangster: Just try it.
(The gangster walks out of the motel.)
Sam: Noo... got... our... dough... get him...
(Tommy follows the gangster, who takes off with a car that has been parked
outside. Tommy gets into their car and pursues him. He eventually overtakes
him and kills him.)
Tommy: If that's regular routine, I wonder what the next job will be like.

(Tommy and Detective Norman continue their conversation. Norman is taking

Norman: So what about your two friends?
Tommy: Well, they were better off than you'd think. Salieri had a good doc
for his boys, and it's not like he ever asked any questions. In a few
