Petunia interviews for a job as a shop assistant. "I never knew I was interviewing for a job with the Mafia!" she said. "I'm leaving!" "Wait!" said Don Corimmicci. "Don't go! I want to go legit!" "He really does!" said Bessio, his trusted adviser.
A Mafia Don needs a heart of stone. But Don Corimmicci's heart is wooden. Frank Piglioni has sent him an eraser - a threat to rub him out! Bessio recommended Retail Therapy; use a shop as a front for a protection racket to pay off Frank, then go legit selling honest goods as fast as possible.
