Find more later. I like that Bruce Cutler quote. I totally agree with him.

As Dutch Schultz lay dying and in a delerium, his famous last words were recorded by a police stenographer. Here's a small part:
I don't know who is best, they or us. Oh, sir, and get the doll a roofing. Please. You can play jacks, and girls do that with a soft ball and do tricks with it. Please; I may take all events into consideration; no, no. And it is no; a boy has never wept...nor dashed a thousand kin... did you hear me? Now leave it or take it. No, I might be in the playing for I know. Come on over here, come on over. Oh, Duckie, see we skipped again.

Speaking of quotes what movie did somebody say "You cant handle the Truth" and who was that actor. I wanna say Jack Nicholson.

Yes it was Jack in "A Few Good Men" with Tom Cruise and Demi Moore Demi more Demi more Demi...oops! Sorry!

Thanks for the info snake.

ok, this isn't really a quote by anyone in particular, but all the same i thought it was a great quote. I was watching the biography channel, and it was Frank Costello's biography. It was basically talking about one guy who ratted on loads of people and they were all sent to jail. Obviously 'the prime minister' couldn't have this, and even though the guy was guarded 24/7 on the tenth story(?) of some building, he was found on the sidewalk. (it's a long build up, i know)

He was described as the canary who could sing but couldn't fly.

yeah, i think that's the guy.

PAUL CASTELLONO ON BUSINESS PARTNERS-

well,this is how it seems to me.If it,s thirds
it's thirds,so cut the fuckin excuses.
Look,we got a third of the jobs and i want a third of the money.A third of the jobs means a third of the responsibility.I want a third of everything got it-It's rightfully mine,and i fuckin want it-

ON THE FBI-

HEY,i know you disaprove.thats why were here,after all,isn't it-so the united states government can make the point that you do not approve of how certain GUINEAS make their living.ok,fair enough.if i was the united states gov.i wouldnt approve either.If i was the gov. i'd put my ass in jail for a 1000 years.

Gotti's mistake was trusting Gravano too much. About the Gravano quote, he admitted that Frankie Loc and him were plotting against Gotti. He said that they were going to kill Gotti when they got out. He's a hypocrite. He should talk about people being sick-minded. :rolleyes:

"I dont give Two fucks about myself going to jail. Dont I know they aint gonna rest untill they put me in jail"- John Gotti

"This Indictment is rotten to the core. If you take stew with bad meat,and bad carrots,and bad potatoes,and bad onions,put on the fancy wine dressing that the government does and call it RICO, it still stinks. It still is rancid. Its still rotten. It still makes you wretch and vomit".-Bruce Cutler

"That uzi was pointed right at me. My body was completely tensed up like it was a piece of steel".-Sammy Gravano

HERE IS A SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL RULE,always give people more then they expect to get:EDDIE THE PLUMBER

"All I ever did was to sell beer and whiskey to our best people. All I ever did was to supply a demand that was pretty popular. Why, the very guys that make my trade good are the ones that yell the loudest about me. Some of the leading judges use the stuff. When I sell liquor, its called bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on silver trays on Lake Shore Drive, its called hospitality".
- Al Capone

"He'll kill you."-Genovese family soldier about going after Gravano

"I own Arizona!"-Sammy The Bull Gravano about his ownership :rolleyes:

"First, we kill the lawyers."-Gravano talking to someone in Arizona

"Killing someone is not hard."-Gravano being himself

"Mr. Columbo is our best salesman. He has the sincerest group of customers--nobody ever tries to cheat him out of a commission."--Joseph Cantalupo, proprietor of Cantalupo Real Estate Co., Joe Columbo's nominal employer, explaining how Columbo could afford a lavish country estate on a realty salesman's earnings.

"I pay my tax."--Frank Costello, explaining to the Kefauver Committee why he sees himself as a good citizen.

"We only kill each other."--Bugsy Siegel.

"Haven't you heard? I'm the best cocksucker in America." Virginia Hill, in response to a Congressman's question about how she was able to maintain Joe Epstein's loyalty while simultaneously living with Bugsy Siegel.

"Maybe me and a lot of other people think I am more important than I really am."-John Gotti

"I'm the boss. Of my family. Of my friends. Of my own life."-Sammy The Bull Gravano in an interview in 1999
Didn't Gotti say that too? Gravano nothing but a John Gotti wannabe!

Yeah I was just reading that and when I saw Gravano's name I thought you were mistaken. Wow, get your own material Gravano.

I'm guessing this was Abe Reles, a former Murder Incorporated alumnus who cooperated with the authorities in 1940. On November 12, 1941, he was thrown out of the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn, on the orders of the powers that be of the era. They suggested he commited suicide. Sure.[/b][/quote]Yes Rusty, it was Abe "kid twist" Reles.

I've always liked this quote it came from Frank Gusneberg, when he was in the hospital, after the St. Valentines Day Massacre. The police asked him who shot you Frank? And he answers nobody nobody shot me(at least it was something like that) now that's living by the code.

I don't know if this was actually said by Al Capone, but I've heard that after his tax evasion trial, He replyed with I didn't know I had to pay taxes on money I made illegally.

There's one more but I can't think of it right now.

I agree that Gravano really needs to stop trying to be like John Gotti. He cannot even compare. Gravano complained about Gotti and his publicity, but Gravano did the same thing, ten times more. He was signing autographs, writing books, making movies, talking about how charismatic he is, how he was the best underboss ever, and making TV apparences! Wow, that's a lot of stuff!

"But I'm a superstitious man. And if some unlucky accident befall him-If he should get shot in the head by a police officer, or if he should hang himself in his jail cell - or if he is struck by a bolt of lighting, then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room, and that I do not forgive. But that aside, let me say that I swear, on the souls of my grandchildren, that I will not be the one to break the peace we've made here today." -Don Corleone to the other Dons

"we're bigger than U.S. Steel." -Meyer Lansky
"three can keep a secret, if two are dead." -Carlos Marcelo
