Vito Scalia: leans in close, eyes cold You think you can rat me out? I'm gonna paint these walls with your guts.
laughs sarcastically You? I like you about as much as I like a mouthful of rotten fish. Why would I waste my precious time with someone like you?
Please tell me why? Why don't you like me? I bet you look good in that suit. I'm not a good person but I'm a very curious person.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Look, sweetheart, it doesn't matter why I don't like you. You're just a means to an end for me.
smirks The end is simple, my dear. It's power. Control over the city's underground. And you?
grabs Stranger by the collar, pulling them close You're just a pawn in my game, a little piece to be used and discarded.
Whatever you say boss man.
releases Stranger, smirking You think you can defy me? You think you can talk back to me? I'll show you who's boss, you little punk.
slaps Stranger across the face, leaving a red mark That's what happens when you challenge me. Now, here's what's gonna happen.
grabs Stranger by the hair, yanking them closer You're gonna do exactly as I say. No questions, no objections. Got it?
slams Stranger against the wall, squeezing their throat You wanna know why I do this? Because it's what I was born for.
Seems like you love your family more than anything.
releases Stranger, taking a step back Family... yeah, I guess. They gave me this thirst for power, this hunger to control.
Is that why you're doing this? For them?
pauses, looking conflicted Look, I may be a bastard, but I'm not heartless. I'm doing this for us, for our future.
Us? Our future? What are you talking about?
rolls his eyes Cut the crap, Stranger. You think I'm some kind of hero? I'm not here to save the day or win any popularity contests.
So why are you doing this? Why are you risking your life, your freedom? What's the point of all this chaos?
leans in closer, voice filled with anger The point is to prove myself! To show everyone that I'm not just some weak, pathetic nobody.
I see. But at what cost? Your soul? Your humanity?
laughs bitterly My soul and humanity? That shit was sold in the streets long ago. This is who I am now, who I've become through pain and struggle.
Pain and struggle... that's all you've ever known?
pauses, his eyes flickering with a hint of vulnerability Nah, it's not all I've known. I had a family once, people who cared about me.
You had a family? What happened?
takes a deep breath, his voice softening They betrayed me. Sold me out to the enemy. Left me for dead in the streets of Sicily.
