manoteos
pide

se

-"Well,
Tony,
you
see
the
negative
attitudes
outside,
I
don't
want
any
shenanigans.
Ask
for
the
green
light
to
talk,
and
wait
until
you're
spoken
to.
-Tony
sabes
por
que
te
encuentras
aquí
- "Tony,
do
you
know
why
you're
here?"

- "No."
-Tony,
el
motivo
por
la
cual
tu
te
encuentras
aquí
según
la
carta
que
recibimos
de
la
calle
es
por
que
usted
mató
a
un
hombre
a
sueldo.
- "Tony,
the
reason
you're
here,
according
to
the
letter
we
received
from
the
outside,
is
that
you
killed
a
hitman."
-No
no
no...
- "No,
no,
no..."
-Dame
la
verde
- "Give
me
the
green
light."
-Tiene
al
verde
- "He
has
the
green
light."
-Antes
que
nada
hay
que
aceptar
que
casi
todos
los
que
estamos
aquí
tenemos
una
cosa
en
común
y
es
que
por
no
hemos
ido
por
el
camino
correcto.
Ahora
Dentro
de
los
que
estamos
descarrilados
están
los
que
abusan
y
los
que
no
abusan
y
yo
soy
de
los
que
no
abusan
yo
no
le
he
hecho
nadie
a
nadie
al
que
no
se
lo
merezca
pero
pa
cuidar
un
negocio
ilegal
hay
que
poner
respeto
y
por
eso
es
que
muchos
de
nosotros
estamos
en
esta
prisión
pagando
las
consecuencias.
Si
yo
le
estoy
mintiendo
si
estoy
metiendo
la
feca
a
larga
ustedes
me
van
coger
en
la
mentira
pero
mientras
no
se
pruebe
lo
contrario
yo
estoy
aquí
dispuesto
a
compartir
todas
mis
conexiones
de
la
calle
con
ustedes
y
voy
a
todas.
Eso
es
todo
lo
que
tengo
que
decir
- "First
of
all,
we
have
to
accept
that
almost
all
of
us
here
have
one
thing
in
common,
and
that
is
that
we
haven't
followed
the
right
path.
Now,
among
those
of
us
who
are
derailed,
there
are
those
who
abuse
and
those
who
don't
abuse,
and
I
am
one
of
those
who
don't
abuse.
I
haven't
done
anything
to
anyone
who
doesn't
deserve
it,
but
to
take
care
of
an
illegal
business
you
have
to
command
respect,
and
that's
why
many
of
us
are
in
this
prison,
paying
the
consequences.
If
I'm
lying
to
you,
if
I'm
making
this
up,
you'll
catch
me
in
the
lie,
but
until
proven
otherwise,
I'm
here
willing
to
share
all
my
street
connections
with
you,
and
I'm
all
in.
That's
all
I
have
to
say."
- Bueno
esta
junta
debidamente
bien
organizada
a
determinado
que
la
carta
recibida
de
la
calle
no
es
base
suficiente
por
lo
tanto
dale
arriba
- "Well,
this
properly
organized
board
has
determined
that
the
letter
received
from
the
street
is
not
a
sufficient
basis,
so
let
him
go."
