Arnold Rothstein:
Meyer, Charlie, I believe you know Mr. Masseria.

Lucky Luciano:
Everybody knows Joe the boss.

Arnold Rothstein:
Then perhaps you also know, though it is of course news to me, that a card game you operate is located in territory that Mr. Masseria considers to be his.

Joe Masseria:
Not considers! Is mine.

Arnold Rothstein:
My thinking was, before any more blood is shed, that a compromise can be reached.

Meyer Lansky:
More blood?

Joe Masseria:
Tompkins Square Park, my two nephews? [imitates throat-cutting]

Lucky Luciano:
I don't know what you're talking about.

Arnold Rothstein:
Apparently two of Mr. Masseria's emissaries to your establishment were murdered shortly after their visit.

Meyer Lansky:
We do operate a game in what might be termed a grey area territorially. But as to any violence in the neighborhood...

Joe Masseria:
They stab themself, eh?

Lucky Luciano:
A coincidence then. It happens.

Joe Masseria:
On my streets, no coincidence. [indicates Charlie] This little prick, since he's 10 years old he causes problems.

Arnold Rothstein:
It seems to me you boys ought to extend a token of goodwill towards Mr. Masseria. Shall we say a one-time fee of $2,000 for the families of those gentlemen and a tax of 10% on the game going forward?

Lucky Luciano:
Hold on a f***in' second...

Arnold Rothstein:
Charlie.

Joe Masseria:
10% is okay. For now.

Arnold Rothstein:
Then we have an agreement? [shake hands]

Joe Masseria:
[in Italian] What are you doing with these Christ-killers? Come with me, I'll make you rich.

Lucky Luciano:
[in Italina] With your other hand in my pockets.

Joe Masseria:
[in Italian] I'm watching you, boy. Every f***ing step. [Luciano stands up angrily]

Arnold Rothstein:
Charlie.

Lucky Luciano:
A.R., two grand is bad enough, but 10% of the f***ing game?

Meyer Lansky:
We already pay half the take on that game to you.

Arnold Rothstein:
Yes. And now you boys know why.
