Calogero
How ya doing, Sonny? Not so good, huh? I was so pissed at Tess, that's what I wanted to tell you. She might be my first great one, and I'm going to go out with her. Thanks for helping me. I want to thank you for saving my life; I never got a chance to tell you. They all died: Slick, Alto, Mario, Ralphie, all of them. Sorry, I thought I was alone. I'm just thinking out loud.
[hears footsteps and turns to see someone else walking in]
Carmine
That's okay, it's understandable.
[steps to Sonny's coffin and crosses himself]
Calogero
See this man there's a great man. He saved my life.

The Balance of Love and Fear
Sonny
That's what it comes down to- availability. The people in this neighborhood that see me that're on my side, they feel safe, because they know I'm close. And that gives them more reason to love me. But the people that wanna do otherwise? They think twice, because they know I'm close, and that gives them more reason to fear me.
Calogero
Is it better to be loved or feared?
Sonny
That's a good question. It's nice to be both, but that's very difficult. If I had my choice, I would rather be feared. Fear lasts longer than love. Friendships that're bought with money mean nothing. You see how it is around here; I make a joke, everybody laughs. I know I'm funny, but I'm not that funny. It's fear that keeps them loyal to me. But the trick is not to be hated. That's why I treat my men good, but not too good; I give them too much, then they don't need me. I give them just enough where they still need me, but they don't hate me. Don't forget what I'm telling you.
