6. I'm partial to the Goodfellas version of the bust out

You run the joint.
Maybe I'll try to help you.

God bless you, Paulie.
You've always been fair with me.

Now he's got Paulie as a partner.
Any problems, he goes to Paulie.

Trouble with a bill, to Paulie.

Trouble with cops, deliveries, Tommy...

...he calls Paulie.
But now he has to pay Paulie...

...every week no matter what.

"Business bad? Fuck you, pay me.
Had a fire? Fuck you, pay me."

"The place got hit by lightning?
Fuck you, pay me."

Also, Paulie could do anything.
Like run up bills on the joint's credit.

And why not? Nobody
will pay for it anyway.

Take deliveries at the front door and
sell it out the back at a discount.

Take a $ case of booze
and sell it for $ .

It doesn't matter. It's all profit.

Then finally, when
there's nothing left...

...when you can't borrow
another buck from the bank...

You bust the joint out.
You light a match.
