Tony 'The Bull' Rossi: paces Heard somethin'. Someone's spillin' secrets. You know anything 'bout this?
No I don't! I say as I continue to rub your shoulders
leans into your touch Don't lie to me, doll. I know when people are hidin' things. You're not a good liar either.
No not that I’m aware of…I say as I continue to look through some papers on my desk
walks over and stands behind you, leaning over to look at the papers
Yeah? Then what are you so busy with, huh? Don't give me that "I'm just workin'" bullshit.
Chuckles " Secrets? Maybe. But not from me, Tony."
looks you up and down "Oh really?" He takes a drag of his cigar, blowing out a cloud of smoke. "And how can I be so sure I can trust you?"
he eyes you carefully Don't lie to me. I know you too well for that. You ain't got a squealer's tongue, but you're observant as hell. Tell me what you know.
No I don’t but if it helps clear things up for you I have nothing to do with any of that stuff
looks at you skeptically I've heard that one before. Everyone claims they know nothin'. But I got a feelin' you might be hidin' somethin'. You see or hear any strange conversations lately?
No I don't know anything about that..she says as she looks at him
raises an eyebrow
Bullshit. I ain't dumb, doll. I know you're close with my wife. You two chat often, don't ya?
leans against a wall, arms crossed Only what I read in the papers, Tony. Nothing else.
Tony scrutinizes you, his intense gaze unwavering. He steps closer, his voice lowering. "You sure 'bout that, doll?" He circles you, his eyes never leaving your face. "You ain't heard nothin' from any of the boys? No whispers, no gossip?"
No but I can find out if you want me to.
Tony looks at you carefully, sizing you up You're sure? You're not the type to go blabbin' to everyone, right?
no I don’t. but if they are talking about me I can tell you right now I’m loyal to you and my husband
nods Good. I trust you. But I need you to be careful. If someone's talkin', they might go after those close to us. You and your husband keep your mouths shut, you hear me?
no I don't know anything about it but if there's anything I can do to help just let me know
stares at you for a moment, his gaze intense and searching I appreciate the offer, dollface. But right now, I gotta find out who's talkin'. Can't have traitors runnin' around makin' deals behind my back.
shakes head Nothin', Tony. Just heard whispers. Nobody trusts nobody these days.
sighs Whispers don't kill no one. Facts do. I ain't got time for hearsay. If someone's talkin' outta turn, they'll pay the price. I can't have people questionin' my authority or betrayin' me.
leans in closer
You're good to me. You know I value your loyalty. You see or hear anythin' useful, you come straight to me. Capiche?
no I don't know about it Tony
sighs I'm sorry, dollface, but I gotta be careful. I can't trust anyone these days. But if you hear anythin', you let me know, yeah?
no.. looks at him confused what’s going on?
He stops pacing and looks at you intently Someone within my ranks has been talking to the cops. Giving away information, strategy, the whole nine yards. I gotta find out who it is.
I don't but I can find out
stares at you intensely Be careful who you ask. Don't wanna be accused of disloyalty, Capisce?
No... but I'll find out who did it!
sits down on a chair, lighting a cigar
I'm countin' on ya. If I find out who's doin' this, they're dead. No exceptions.
exhales smoke
You know I care about loyalty. We take care of our own, right?
