Why I was important
Yeah, a was important! Without me, tons of things wouldn’t be the way they are. For starters, I basically pioneered the whole "Italian gangster" image. Back then if you were walking down the street and you heard an Italian accent, unless you had a death wish, you would keep your head down. Even today when you want to pretend to be a mobster, people always take on either a Chicago accent, or an Italian one. I guess that counts as a legacy. Now, you could reasonably argue that I was a bad dude, and admittedly, I did some crummy things to some crummy people. I wasn’t all bad though! I set up a soup kitchen, and a program for school kids to get free milk. I was never able to just watch as someone sat on a cold street all hungry like. I really did believe in my cause. I was helping the people by getting them some good booze, and I was helping myself by living a life of high power and credibility (let alone the massive amount of money I made in the process). Honestly blame the government for organized crime. They made it, I just played their game, they were just mad I played it better than them. I don’t know if ya could actually call me relevant, but I'm still the most popular gangster in American history, and if ya were to hear my name, most would get the gist.

I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace they can't do you any harm. But don’t ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn’t be bought, they wouldn’t have the job

If the united states government thinks it can clean up Chicago by sending me to jail, well, that’s alright with me. I guess maybe I owe the government this stretch in jail, anyway.

Intoduction
I would start with some sort of long introduction, but it seems my reputation precedes me. My name is Alphonse Gabriel Capone. The Al Capone. The most infamous gangster in all American history. I was born in 1899 ta poor Italian immigrants, and I became the most infamous gangster in all American history. (talk about the American dream) I made my fortune mainly in the bootlegging business in the height of prohibition. I also dabbled in prostitution rings and a lot of gambling, but bootlegging is what really got me my money. I'm responsible for " brutal acts of violence" but ya need to understand it was mostly only against other gangsters. Mostly. Even though I undeniably killed a bunch of people, do ya think I was ever even charged with the crime? Well I wasn’t. I was never charged with any of the murders I did; directly or indirectly. In fact, I went to jail for eleven years for Tax Evasion of all things. I ain't exactly complaining, I thank my lucky stars I died in beautiful Miami instead of in some cell. It just kind of makes ya think, ya know? Maybe bootlegging was my divine purpose, or some shit like that.

Today I got a letter from a woman in England. Even over there I'm known as a gorilla. She offered my passage to London if I'd kill some neighbors she's been having a quarrel with.
