Ciao, my name is Don Scorlieone. I am the head of the Scorlieone Family. Along with my closest relatives I run a small family business importing olive oil from my grandmother’s farm on the summit of Mt. Etna in Sicily. I’d like to make you an offer you cannot refuse…
Uh-Oh!
Its simple, all I’d like to do is to introduce you to my family and in return I’d like you to introduce me to yours…
My oldest son is called ‘Grievance’ Gredo he takes care of our Customer Complaints Department. If we have any complaints about our customers he makes sure they know about it. My other son, ‘Nefarious’ Nick is in charge of family security.
This is my brother ‘Lotsa’ Luca, he is our family accountant. He also takes care of family donations to good causes like orphanages, schools, churches, politicians, law enforcement agencies, animal refuges, and old folks homes.

These are my parents, ‘Mama Mia’ Mary and Papa Paulo. They started our family business when they moved here from Sicily and passed it on to me.
This is my daughter ‘Cartel’ Catherina. Her marketing skills make sure we get a fair price for our family’s products by taking care of the competition. She is the brains of our family and is going to take over from me when I retire.
This is my cousin ‘Loop-Hole’ Larry. He looks after our family’s legal affairs. In his most famous case the judge and jury were all found guilty.
Now that you’ve met my
family I would consider it a mark of personal respect if you would introduce me to yours…
