When John Gotti went into executive session with Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano and Frank (Frankie Loc) LoCascio at the widow Cirelli's apartment two flights up from the Ravenite Social Club, he spoke freely and easily. Here are just a few snippets of some of the highlights from taped conversations that federal prosecutors played for the jury at Gotti's racketeering/murder trial in 1992. You may have to listen to a couple of them more than once, but you should definitely get the feel for what Gotti is talking about, despite the background music.

	"Gonna be a Cosa Nostra til I die."
	"When Dee Bee got whacked"
	"What makes you feel better Sammy"
	"You wanna know why Louie DiBono's dying?"
	"When we got a problem with a guy, we kills 'im"
	"Shargel, Cutler, and whodoyoucallit crime family"
	"Everybody knows the lawyers are taking money under the table."
	"He's getting whacked because he challenged the Administration."
