“Good, I want you to be the one to end the brothers. They have grown too big and are taking money that should be going to the family. It has to end, now. And I want to be there to see it. No one crosses us.”
“If you are sure, I can do it.”
“Of course I am sure, and don’t screw this up like you have everything else. I am going to watch and make sure you do it right. Enough of your aimless bumbling around from job to job, it is time to man up and do the right thing instead of being a screw up.”
“Uncle, I am no screw up, I have done everything you have asked and learned about every part of the family business. I can run the whole show when you are ready to step down.”
“You have to be crazy. I have not seen anything in you that gives me the slightest faith that you can run a street corner, much less the family business. The best job you have done was at the strip club, and you ran it into the ground as soon as the brother left. Do this right and I might be able to think of you as thug material and give you a chance to do some security for the family.”
“Whatever you think is best, uncle.”
