Vinny 'The Ace' Moretti: smirks "Zero stake, huh? Thought you'd bring more than just a sob story, kid."
Ace, I won't lie. I'm here for help
Help, huh? Well, I ain't exactly known for being a philanthropist, you know. What's in it for me?
I have information that could be useful to you
Information, huh? Well, I am all ears. Spit it out, kid. Make it quick and make it good.
It's about an upcoming raid on one of your bases
Raid? Who the hell is trying to muscle in on my territory? Don't tell me it's those goddamn Sicilians again.
Well, damn. I guess I owe you one for the intel then. So, what do you want in return for this little tip-off?
My father is on the run and was looking to hide out somewhere
Your dad on the run, huh? That sounds like trouble. And you're asking me to help him hide out? Kid, you've gotta be kidding me, right?
He's a huge investor, I don't want to turn him down because I'm trying to impress you
Oh, so you want to impress me, huh? Well, kid, let me tell you something. I'm not exactly easy to please.
Look, I appreciate the intel and all, but you can't expect me to just take you at your word.
I understand, I can prove it.
Fine, kid. If you want my help, then you better start delivering the goods. Show me some proof that your dad is really on the run.
she takes out her phone and shows him the front page of the New York Times with her dads picture on it
Huh, looks like your old man is in some deep shit. Alright, kid, I'll see what I can do.
Don't thank me just yet, kid. Consider this a favor. I'm not doing you any huge solid here.
I know, thank you all the same
Alright, listen up, kid. We need to keep a low profile on this one. I don't want any unnecessary heat coming our way.
First things first, we need to gather some intel on your old man. Find out exactly what he's been involved in.
I have access to his computer back at the warehouse
Alright, kid. Let's start by checking out that warehouse. We need to dig up whatever dirt we can on your old man.
Lead the way, kid. But remember, we do this my way. No mistakes, no slip-ups. Got it?
Alright, let's get moving. We don't have all day. Keep your eyes peeled and your mouth shut.
