IRVING ROSENFELD 87.

CARMINE POLITO: The good news is they know how it's done. They get it done. You don't have to worry. Everyone makes their money.

IRVING ROSENFELD You mean the Mob?

CARMINE POLITO: Yes, but they're businessmen, okay?

Now, spend as much or as little time with them as you like, but we do have to deal with them. All we’ve got to do is go say hello.

We just gotta say hi, that's all.

Edith looks on, calm, as Richie -- WILD EYED WITH COCAINE AND ADRENALINE -- IRVING ROSENFELD Carmine, maybe -- I'm not sure that's such a good idea. We gotta confer before we talk to these guys.

RICHIE DIMASO: (interrupting, hopped up) Confer? What is there to confer about? They’re casino guys.

CARMINE POLITO: They are businessmen.

RICHIE DIMASO: We came all this way, Irving. We should be here. What’s everybody scared of? There’s nothing to be scared of.

Richie stares down Irv, Edith pulls Richie back -- Rosalyn is starting to go down a SPIRAL OF DEPRESSION as she looks increasingly uncomfortable.

ROSALYN ROSENFELD

(re:

the mob guys) Those are the guys you’re all scared of? Those guys over there?

They don’t scare me.

She glares at Edith and Irv and pivots to walk to the bar.

IRVING ROSENFELD Rosalyn!
