Bruno Bucciarati: Well...

Bruno Bucciarati: Suppose I wasn't able to find "Luca's" murderer...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...And then I introduce you to my peoples...

Bruno Bucciarati: What will you do...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...If by chance they found out it was you who fixed "Luca"...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...Or, worse yet, your plans to overthrow the Leader?

Bruno Bucciarati: In that case I can't help you.

Bruno Bucciarati: No one can help a traitor...

Bruno Bucciarati: You'll pay for your own mistakes by yourself...

Bruno Bucciarati: But, damn you...

Bruno Bucciarati: "Polpo" lives in there...

Bruno Bucciarati: He's been indicted long ago, serving a fifteen year sentence...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...Yet he continues to contribute actively to our organization, passing orders to me...

Bruno Bucciarati: Of course if he wanted to he could go at any moment...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...And also be acquitted from all the accusations...

Bruno Bucciarati: But he doesn't...

Bruno Bucciarati: ...He doesn't have a need to!

Giorno Giovanna: ...

Giorno Giovanna: In what sense?

Bruno Bucciarati: You'll understand when you meet him.

Bruno Bucciarati: Giorno Giovanna...

Bruno Bucciarati: Know that this is a test, and you will have no trump card...

Bruno Bucciarati: Life is nothing but a continuous long series of tests... Consider this your job interview...

Bruno Bucciarati: There's no way of knowing what'll happen... It depends on how you run...
(TN: The word "Run" is slang terminology it means: How you "Act" and go with the "Flow")

Bruno Bucciarati: You just try to make sure that you don't let him discover your true intentions...

Giorno Giovanna: ...And I can't receive anything... either...

Polpo: Huff... Words, words... Just words...

Polpo: ...But there's a difference in saying and doing...

Polpo: ...That's like half of the sea...

Giorno Giovanna: Now I understand what Bucciarati told me about "Polpo" being the Guard...

Giorno Giovanna: "Polpo" doesn't remain in prison because he needs to...

Giorno Giovanna: ...But simply because it doesn't make any difference to him... Indeed with that kind of bounty out for him, just being here is even more secure...

Giorno Giovanna: More than anything, I wonder how the hell they managed to pass him through the door when they brought him here...

TN: Well this was a long Chapter in "Text" and in "Explanations". Bucciarati is one smooth Gangster, Seems like the type that's easy going but if you fuck around you'll end up dead. As well as the organization "Passione" that he runs with are all serious gangsters. One being Polpo a mysterious kind of shape shifter of some sort, Blends into walls and canvases like a painting. Giorno Giovanna wasn't joking around when he said he wanted to be a gangster. Well he did say his "Goal" in life is to be the greatest "Gang Star" even if that means risking his own freedom, We'll see how far he goes with that on the next Chapter. Here's a great song to listen to while you read this. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-R4bghaH6E ) Promoe - "Primetime" (TN: If you never heard Swedish Hip-hop I suggest you do, Turn that Lil' Wayne faggot shit off and listen to a real lyricist)
