When in Caesar's Palace

               talk.  PHIL and SILVIO are trailing them about 50 feet
               behind.

                                   TONY
                             (smirking)
                         So, how was the fishing today?

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         That was cute, Anthony.  I have to
                         hand it to you.  

                                   TONY
                         I thought you'd get a kick out of
                         it!

               JOHNNY SACK takes a drag from his cigarette, and weighs the
               words he is about to say.

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         Anthony, we've known each other a
                         long time, haven't we?

                                   TONY
                         Yeah, so?  

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         Have you known me to lie to you?

                                   TONY
                         What do you think?  With all due
                         respect, I think you're a fuckin'
                         snake.

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         That's why I am where I am.
                         Survival instincts and political
                         ability...

                                   TONY
                             (furious)
                         Fuck you!  All I see is you moving
                         in for the rape.  You ain't gonna
                         rape me, John.

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         That's not really for you to
                         decide.

                                   TONY
                         I think it is.  My entire crew will
                         do what they gotta do before we
                         turn operations over to you and
                         your silver haired monkey back
                         there.

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         Here's the reality:  You operate
                         because I let you operate.  

                                   TONY
                             (pointing finger in JOHNNY
                              SACK'S chest)
                         And let me make this clear.  You
                         can be touched.  Anytime,
                         anyplace...you don't wanna guerilla
                         war with me, John.

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         I say we call the situation with
                         the cop even.  You cost me serious
                         political points at the marina
                         today.

                                   TONY
                         You fuckin' had it comin'.  

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                         The big eat the small, Anthony.

                                   TONY
                         Render unto Caesar?  Is that it?

                                   JOHNNY SACK
                             (sinister)
                         Yeah, I guess so.  Do I need to
                         paint the picture for you?

                                   TONY
                         As the Romans said, "Let the
                         Games begin..."

                                                              FADE OUT.

                                   THE END
