  Angel : This is a debt he paid once a month.

  Ralph D'Amico : That's what you are. Well, it was my father's debt, not mine. His mistake, not mine!

  Ralph D'Amico : That's very nice of you.

  Angel : After that, a thousand a month in small bills in the usual fashion.

  Ralph D'Amico : You want the money, you get it from him!

  Angel : We'll get it from you, or we'll lay you beside him.
