innocent?
Excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt, but you're wrong. I'm a contractor myself. I'm a roofer...(digs into pocket and produces business card) Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements. And speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs.
Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled.
Then I realized whose house it was. Dominick Bambino's. "Babyface" Bambino, the gangster.
The money was right, but the risk was too big. I knew who he was, and based on that, I passed the job on to a friend of mine.
That week, the Foresci family put a hit on Babyface's house. My friend was shot and killed. He wasn't even finished shingling.
I'm alive because I knew there were risks involved taking on that
particular client. My friend wasn't so lucky.
(pauses to reflect)
You know, any woman willing to get in a car with a Kennedy
knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this...(taps his heart) not his wallet.
