The Sopranos1999

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.:
Excuse me, but let me tell you something, when America opened the flood gates and let all of us Italians in, what do you think they were doing that for? Because they were trying to save us from poverty? No they did it because they need us, they needed us to build their cities, dig their subways and it made them richer the Carnegies, the Rockefellers, they needed the worker bees, then there we were, but some all us didn't want to swarm around the hive and lose who we were, we wanted to stay Italian and preserve the things that meant something to us, honor, and family, and loyalty.
