:30:05
I remember all of you
from when I was nothin'.
:30:08
Pruneface, you tossed a fire bomb in my
car one night. Give me a lot of trouble,
but I forgive you.
:30:12
Mocca, you put three slugs into me,
but I lived. I forgive you too.
:30:16
I owe everybody at this table a little
somethin', but I forgive all of you.
:30:20
Why? Because I put the past
in the past.
:30:24
However, a boss who cannot
see the future...
:30:28
becomes a liability
to everyone concerned.
:30:30
What are you, a fortune-teller?
What do you mean, the future?
:30:34
Pruneface, what I mean...
:30:37

:30:40
Pat, Sam, come in. This is Tracy.

We got a problem with organization.
We're all split up. That's bad business.
:31:12
While we're divided,
the cops can keep us under control.
:31:15
But use your imaginations.
We form this big company, see.
:31:19
Each of us here at the table
are on the board of directors.
:31:23
- I'm chairman of the board.
- Why you?
:31:28
Because I have a vision.
:31:31
A big boss must have a vision.
:31:33
We got a town with thousands
of small stores and businesses,
people who are workin' real hard.
:31:38
I think they should be
workin' real hard for us...
:31:41
because we are for the people.
:31:45
And "if you ain't for the people,
you can't buy the people." Lincoln.
:31:52
We will become
the people's silent partner.

Every time some citizen buys
