    Sonny Valerio: What?

    Ray Vargo: Is that true?

    Sonny Valerio: Sure. He means like the rappers, you know, All the rappers, they got names like that: Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Q-Tip, Method Man. My favorite was always Flavor Flav from Public Enemy. You got the funky fresh fly flavor.

    [rhymes hip-hop verse]

    Johnny Morini: Sure, Sonny. Mr. Vargo!

    [Leaves]

    Sonny Valerio: We got really a big problem here, Louie. It seems like you're directly responsible for it. Your mystery man fucked up.

    Louie: But Morini told me he put the girl... Mr. Vargo's daughter on the bus.

    Sonny Valerio: He did, but she went off the bus and went to Handsome Frank's house.

    Louie: You wanted Hadsome Frank whacked. So he got whacked. I settled all up, from outside, no traces, no nothing. Morini said she was on the bus, but, Jesus, I mean he's lucky he didn't do her too, right?

    Ray Vargo: If he had, you would've been fuckin' dead.

    Sonny Valerio: This is not a good situation, Louie.

    Louie: Where is she now? Is she all right?

    Sonny Valerio: Don't worry about Mr. Vargo's daughter. What we need to do is to eliminate the scumbag whacked Frank. Frank was one of us. His killer needs to be neutralized. Erase from the face of the planet.

    Louie: For the past four years this guy's done, maybe, twelve perfect contracts. Perfect. Like a ghost. He's very valuable, he's totally untraceable. I'm sure he didn't realize anyone was gonna be there when he did Handsome Frank. He would've backed off. And it's sure as hell he didn't know that she was gonna be there.

    Sonny Valerio: Louie, unless you don't wanna be buried next to Frank. It's time to tell us everything you know about this mysterious, ghost-like, untraceable, fuckin' button man.

  • Sonny Valerio: Did you just say he contacts you through a fucking bird?

    Ray Vargo: What particular species of bird?
