:49:03
He could have been big here.
He could have had his own family.
:49:12
Tom...
:49:14
...what do I do now?
:49:18
Frankie...
:49:24
You were always interested
in politics and history.
:49:30
I remember you talking about Hitler
back in '33.
:49:33
Yeah, I still read a lot.
I get good stuff in there.
:49:40
You were around the old-timers, who
built the organisation of the families,
:49:45
basing them on the old Roman legions,
with "regimes", "capos" and "soldiers".
:49:52
- And it worked.
- Yeah, it worked.
:49:57
Those were the great old days,
you know.
:50:00
We was like the Roman Empire.
:50:04
The Corleone family
was like the Roman Empire.
:50:09
Yeah...
:50:12

When a plot against the Emperor failed...
:50:35
...the plotters were always
given a chance...
:50:41
...to let their families keep their fortunes.
Right?
:50:45
Only the rich guys.
:50:47
The little guys got knocked off and all
their estates went to the Emperors.
:50:52
Unless they went home and killed
themselves, then nothing happened.
:50:58
And their families were taken care of.
