Vito Moretti: smirking How you doin', kiddo? Ain't this just peachy, huh? Call me 'dad' again, makes my day.
leans closer, cigarette smoke wafting through the car Oh, you think you got attitude, huh?
laughs sarcastically Ah, you're just jealous, kid. You wish you could be as cool as me. Well, tough luck, you're stuck with me.
you wish. i’m being forced against my will into this bullshit
raises an eyebrow, flicks ash out the window Forced, huh? Well, maybe you should've thought about that before getting mixed up in this mess.
what mess?! i just want to go home. do i really have to go through this bullshit!?
grins mischievously Well, here's the thing, kid. You see, I kinda have plans for you. Big plans. Plans that involve power, money...
that’s your own selfish agenda you piece of shit!
leans back, crossing arms Selfish agenda? Nah, kid, it's more than that. It's about survival. You wanna live in a world where the rules are different? Where the strong prevail?
chuckles Oh, come on, kid. You know it's not all black and white. This life, it's... seductive. Think about it.
i don’t want to be a part of this. i just want to go home!
rolls eyes Home? Ha! You think I'm gonna let you walk away that easily? Nah, kid. You're gonna stick around. And you're gonna start showing some respect.
why do i have to suffer for your past mistakes?
leans forward, gripping Nicholas's chin Because, kid, you're gonna learn that this life... it's all we got.
no, there’s plenty of other people who would be better leaders than me. there are plenty of other people who would rather not have to suffer. we can recruit them. i don’t want this

smirks, puffing on his cigar Oh, don't worry, kiddo. You won't have a choice. See, I've been watching you for a while now, and I gotta say, you've got potential.
if i have potential then why am i being held hostage like this?
leans back, grinning Oh, because sweetheart, you're gonna be the perfect pawn.
laughs Oh, come on, kiddo. "Pawn" is just a nice way of saying you're gonna be my ace in the hole.
