Well, that's what they say. But what sort of pressure do they put on you to be a better earner? If they know you can't, they don't. Really? Yeah. But like if, you know, some other work had to come out, you had to do that. Hmm. And what would you say the perks are? Like what, what, Like, okay, say Henry Hill didn't get to go into the Copa.

But somebody, but you did. You went to the Copa like that. My father was a king of the Copa. I was going there since I was 9, 10 years old. And so they would treat you like? Royalty. Royalty. Yeah. Because they feared you. No, not because they, look, my father, myself, we were outgoing people. We took care of the waiters and the waitresses. We did the right thing, you know.

They had a problem in a place, we straightened it out for them. You know, we made sure that everything was right in that place. You know, I want to tell you this. My dad taught me a lot of good things. Unfortunately, he did 40 years in prison, and he wasn't around me that much when I was on the street because he was always in jail. But he taught me a lot of good things.

One thing he taught me that I never forgot and really worked for me in my former life and now, he said, Mike, always be good to the little people. Now, he didn't mean that in a demeaning way. It's just the way he spoke. He said, take care of the little people because they're the ones that make you strong. It's not the people on top that want to cut your legs out in this life, especially.

He said, but it's the people that you take care of and you give respect to. And I've been that way my whole life because my father told me that it's the right thing to do. And, you know, so that's why you get into going to the back of the Copacabana, not because they're afraid of you, because that doesn't work. It's just treating people the right way, being there for them. That's important. Now,

I met everybody that you can imagine during that era with my dad and then really on my own. The Copa closed later on, but it was a great place. It fit 300 people. The tables were this big because they crammed you in there, you know, narrow. But it was the best place, you know, to see a show because you were right on the stage and guys right there like me and you right here.

But you cherish those memories of your father. I'm talking about teaching you those. I loved what my father taught me. My father taught me the other thing. He said, listen, be the last one to judge somebody, the last one, because your turn is going to come, and they're going to remember how you judged the other person. Because, you know, look, I've got to be honest with you.

In that life, you know, you're sitting down in meetings sometimes where somebody's life is at stake. I was always glad this house didn't go to strangers. First Clemenza took it over, then you. My father taught me many things right in this room. Used to be a big desk. Can I say that you're a fan of mob movies? You taught me keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
