In fact, I shot when they were supposed to shoot the movie, the Gotti movie. They screwed up. The budget changed dramatically. First one or second one? Second one. First one was pretty good. Second one, John Travolta did an amazing job. However, the budget was not there. They took a screenplay. They took my book, and they basically went someplace else with it.
But the ending was supposed to be shot where you saw the ending of the movie?
Okay. See the ending? Gravano's behind the driver's seat. John's in the passenger seat. Okay. Okay. Then the actual ending, that's how it ends, and then the actual ending comes back, and there's a reflection on the stand, and headlights pass into the car, and it's Bobby Borriello driving the car, and John's in the passenger seat. Sammy wasn't even there. Sammy wasn't even there.
Now, again, the truth comes from the teller of the story. So the truth is in the telling. Sammy's the only one that's telling the story. Nobody else is telling the story but Sammy Gravano.
I'm saying my father, in a wiretapped visiting room in Marion, Illinois, talking to me, had said to me, when he's reading the story about how this thing, and after this conviction, he looked at me, and he says, John, he says, I don't know what happened to that Paul, nor do I care. I don't care what happened to him, he says. But if Sammy Gravano was within 10 miles of Paul getting hurt,
Your brother should rot in hell. He would never say that because he adored my brother. So that was John Gotti's words. Again, me, this was above my pay grade. I was a kid then. This wasn't my game.
And again, I can't verify that story, but it's about my pay grade.
No, he had a 55-year sentence. He did a lot less, but he was a good man. He was a stand-up guy. Certainly was a man's man and a legend on the streets.
Sonny was a solid guy, and I had the pleasure, the honor and pleasure of meeting him at a wedding. A real gentleman.
Listen to me, please. And this I have to say. Please. John Gotti would never start a fire he could not put out. What that means is very simply this. And just like when John Gotti went to marry in Illinois, okay, anything that may have happened or could... Anything that anybody was put in place or anything was done Those are fires that could have been put out at any time they need to be put out.
So let's understand this Sammy was whoever he was and he had a large crew around them And then John had the Bergen crew at a very large crew around them. What about the ones you never seen? What about the people you never seen we saw everybody around Sammy we knew them all That roster had to come in They had to be vetted all those guys. Okay, and
John had individuals you'd never seen, you'd never met. My father had individuals. They weren't allowed to come in. They weren't allowed to go to weddings. They weren't allowed to be seen. Their job was to stay away, and if something's got to be done, they'll do it. They'll take care of it. So that's a fire that John could have put that fire out any time he wanted to put that fire out.
So let's make no mistake about that. That's a fire that could have been put out any time that John would want to put that fire out. And not just with Sammy. Moving forward, while he was in Marion... What do people think this guy was? His whole life, this was a true blue hoodlum. His whole life, this is what he aspired to be. Super intelligent individual.
You think there was never, there was a plan A and never a plan B? There was never a situation where John would say, what if? What if this went wrong? What do we do? This is going to happen. What if I do this? How do I undo this? This is how you undo it, okay? He always had a solution to the problem. And he and I would talk, and we were talking Marion. We would talk just by looking at each other.
We understood, we understood each other. I understood what he wanted, his likes and dislikes, okay? And you think that he couldn't, that he would ever put himself in a position? In fact, he got caught in an unguarded moment on a wiretap. He said, you think somebody, anybody's capable of rocking me to sleep like Paul got rocked to sleep? I think he said that on a wiretap, if I'm not mistaken, right?
You're not going to rock John to sleep. He knew exactly what he was doing at all times. If you wanted him, he would be easy to get him, but he had a plan. He always knew what he had to do. My father, every Saturday, same routine, drove to the cemetery to go see my brother. Stood there alone. He insisted. Nobody's allowed to take him. I wasn't allowed to go be in the car with him.
There was a lot to follow him. He'd go there because he wanted to mourn. If you had a problem with him, here he was, okay? But he knew exactly what he was doing at all points in his life. He knew exactly what he needed to do.
Right.
Again, he's a legend in his own mind. Sammy was very popular in Brooklyn. Queens, he was nobody to us. Nobody. Nobody. In fact, people could care less one way or the other about him. He was very popular with individuals in Brooklyn. Anywhere else, nobody cared about Sammy. We didn't quite understand him and it. That being said, he was no legend to us. It was a cultivation that John moved along.
But to even think that he can take on the persona of who John Gotti was? Come on. Look, there was something to him. My father was that guy that got in the car. He went to the Bronx. He stood in the clubs in the Bronx with Frankie Locazio and the fellas in the Bronx. He went to Brooklyn. He showed up in Brooklyn. He showed up in Queens. He showed up in Staten Island.
