51 50 301 Shome Good.
52 51 301 Shome With this done, you are all dismissed.
53 52 301 Shome In the Godfather's stead, I announce that—your duty has been fulfilled.

79 82 301 Godfather There are others doing the same thing. This will help cover us up.
80 83 301 Shome I highly doubt that this is a coincidence. Is it your work, Godfather?
81 84 301 Godfather So what if? So what if not?
82 85 301 Godfather I just happened to provide the right thing to the right people, at the right time.
83 86 301 Godfather And it turned out right. That is all.
84 87 301 Shome Then...
85 88 301 Shome Could you please tell me. What is the right ending for me?

93 96 301 Shome ...That won't be necessary.
94 97 301 Shome I'm not interested in mingling with those recreants.
95 98 301 Godfather Hmm?
96 99 301 Godfather We think the same.
