"(To Giulio Andreotti) In Sicily, we’re in charge, and if you don’t want to wipe out the Christian Democrats completely, you’ll have to do as we say. Otherwise, we’ll take away not only Sicily’s votes, but also those from Reggio Calabria and the whole of southern Italy. You can only count on the votes from the North, where everyone votes Communist – just accept that."
