Frank had a way of talking that really pissed me off. "You wanna get rough with me?" he barked. "You wanna get rough with me? I'll make you my bella bambino!"

I gave him a sharp right-hook to the face. I felt my knuckles get cut up on his front teeth. If that hand got infected, I'd have to jerk off with my left. Now I was really mad.

"You cocksucker!" I yelled. "You goddamn cocksucker! Don't you use those faggoty Italian words on me, you got it?"

Yeah, that's right. I just told Frank, my boss, not to talk to me like that. He was tied up. I had the goons. I was in charge now. But I could see him trying to talk through the blood and loose teeth in his mouth.

"But...but I'm Italian," he sputtered.

Yeah, he was Italian. So was I. So were the goons. I was gonna have to rethink this strategy.
