The Milano Brothers

Citizens of America, Mr. District Attorney. And all of us will long remember. I congratulate you the people for electing as Mr. District Attorney, a man who doesn't know the word fear. And have elected a man who will prosecute and convict the guilty, regardless of their standing in power.

I present to you, Mr. District Attorney. Thank you. No title which could be conferred upon me could ever mean more to me than the one which has given me tonight. Mr. District Attorney, I'm not going to make a speech.

Just listen for one minute. Then I promise action. Every year, crime, corruption and rackets take 15 billions of dollars from you the American people. I pledge myself to go after the tops, the higher ups, who are responsible for this corruption. And I don't care how big they are. The hardest way to smash corruption and rackets is to expose them to the public.

And that's just what we intend to do. There isn't one of you people listening who doesn't pay and pay plenty to organize crime. The laundry racket alone cost the citizens of the city over one million dollars last year. Poultry costs more per pound, species higher, false weights and measures are used in many stores. Over 150

different brackets are being practiced in this city and this extra cost is passed on to you, all of you. Why this very warm alarm? The last time I'm warning you to pay up for your protection.

I won't pay you a cent. Listen, wise guy. You're gonna cough up 100 bucks a month for protection or else. I don't have to pay you for protection. We've got a new district attorney in this town, and I'm relying on him for all the protection I need.
