Interviewer:Mr Verccotti, what do you say to people who accuse you of exploiting Ron for your own purposes?
Mr Vercotti:Well, it's totally untrue, David. Ever since I left Sicily I've been trying to do the best for Ron.
Interviewer:And what's he going to do today?
Mr Vercotti:He's going to split a railway carriage with his nose.
