Johnny Torrio:

Al Capone:
Well, you got nuthin' to worry about. I mean, you got no *evidence,* you know. There's no, uh, witnesses or nuthin'.
Johnny Torrio:
Yeahhh, you did a good job.
[pauses]
Johnny Torrio:

Al Capone:
I know, I already, uh, I already sent them a wreath.
Johnny Torrio:
That's not enough!
[yells, gruffly]
Johnny Torrio:
The organization's gotta take care of them, right?
Al Capone:

Al Capone:

Johnny Torrio:
No, I'm not kidding you. You're gonna be partner with me for life. You get 25%- that's 25 grand a year- 500 bucks a week- that's a lot of dough for a growing boy.
