When I introduce you, I'm gonna say, "This is a friend of mine." That means you're a connected guy. Now if I said instead, this is a friend of ours that would mean you a made guy. A Capiche? - Lefty Ruggiero
Yeah, friend of mine, friend of ours - Donnie Brasco
What do i call you, friend of ours ? - Donnie Brasco
You keep your fucking mouth shut about me - Lefty Ruggiero
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk.
Otherwise, you’re talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who’s gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin’ night. - Nicky Santoro
When you decide to be something, you can be it. That’s what they don’t tell you in the church.
When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I’m saying to you is this: when you’re facing a loaded gun, what’s the difference? - Frank Costello
Not from a movie but an interview with Henry Hill.
Quote:
Hill once said of James "Jimmy the Gent" Burke, "If you ever offered Jimmy a billion dollars, he'd turn you down and then try to figure out how to steal it from you."
"Listen to me, Freddy. You know the difference between men and boys? Boys bet everything on everything. Boys think every hand is a royal flush. You play cards with a man, he knows his limits. Freddy, I invited men... cops, good men... to live in this town. And these men, to make a living, they cross that bridge every day... to a place where everything is upside down. Where the cop is the perp, and the perp is the victim. But they play by the rules. They keep their guns in their holsters, and they play by the rules. The only thing they did was to get their families out... before it got to them. We made a place where things make sense... and you can walk across the street without fear. And you come to me with a plan to set things right. Everyone in this city holding hands, singing "We Are the World." That's very nice. But, Freddy, your plan is the plan of a boy. You made it on the back of a matchbook without thinking! Without looking at the cards. I look at the cards. I see this town... destroyed. Now, that's not what you want, is it?"

The bar scene is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
"see now you's can't leave".
Quote:
Calogero 'C' Anello: [narrating] "I will never forget the look on their faces. All eight of them. Their faces dropped. All their courage and strength was drained right from their bodies. They had reputation for breaking up bars, but they knew that instant, they'd made a fatal mistake. This time they walked into the wrong bar."
One of my favorite quotes from the movie Goodfellas(1990), when Henry's talking about how they now have Paulie as a partner.
Quote:
Henry Hill: [narrating] Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me.
"You know what the bush is about? It's about massive trees that have been standing there for thousands of years... and bugs that'll be dead before the minute's out. It's big trees and pissy little bugs. And everything knows its place in the scheme of things. Everything... everything sits in the order somewhere. Things survive because they're strong, and everything reaches an understanding. But not everything survives because it's strong. Some creatures are weak, but they survive because they're being protected by the strong for one reason or another. You may think that, because of the circles you move in or whatever, that you're one of the strong creatures, but you're not, you're one of the weak ones. That's nothing against you, you're just - you're just weak because you're young. But you've survied because you've been protected by the strong. But they're not strong anymore" - Nathan Leckie in Animal Kingdom
Frank Costello- "When I tell you to dump a body in the marsh... You dump him in the marsh. Not where some guy from John Hancock goes every Thursday to get a fucking blowjob! Don't laugh! This ain't reality TV!"
(Also, does anybody know why they named him Frank Costello?)

Lol good scene, so many quotes from The Departed.
I don't know, im pretty sure thats an Italian name, yet he was meant to be Irish and quite clearly very loosely based on Whitey Bulger am i right ? The feds protection etc.

Well I know Frank Costello in real life adopted the Irish name Costello, so I just thought it was weird that the name was used in The Departed.

Good point, heres a cool link on the Costello name, your right about its Irish descent. Strange that it has an Italian appearance, id have thought it was Italian myself.
De Niro after kicking batts in the head : LOOK WHAT THIS FUCKING MUTT DID TO MY SHOES haha lol, Also love batts when him and tommy are agrueing then the I'm sorry too exchange, Batts mutters now go home and get your fucking shine box CMON YOU FUCKING FEEL TOUGH!!! Lol
Not really a quote about the mob; more of a cultural/ethnic thing. From "The Pope of Greenwich Village": "Italians don't outgrow people. They outgrow clothes."
From Boss Of Bosses, when the Union official isn't paying Paul Castellano.
Do you like soup ? - Paul
Yeah i like soup, whats soup got to do with this - Union Official
Thats great then, because after my friend Tommy here breaks your jaw, its going to need to be wired up and the only thing your going to be able to eat is soup, through a straw.
Do you really like soup that much, that you wouldn't pay me ? - Paul

"You wanna get Capone? Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone!" - The Untouchables
Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific, but they worked. When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky? Nicky was the muscle.
A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
David Jason: It's completely synthetic, therefore no growing, no refining, no peasants. Best of all, no international borders, no customs agents. There in that case in front of you are two detailed prospecti on marketing, anticipated cash flow, and so forth.
Hector Guzman: You racist Americans. You just want to cut us poor Hispanics completely out of the market.
David Jason: No, Mr. Guzman. I think you know that there's no such thing as an American anymore. No Hispanics, no Japanese, no blacks, no whites, no nothing. It's just rich people and poor people. The three of us are all rich, so we're on the same side.
Here’s me back on the street. Third Sunday in August. Old Timer’s Day in the barrio. Nothin’ left. Like them old cowboy movies, only instead of tumbleweed and cow dung we got stripped car wrecks and dog shit. - Carlito Brigante
You ain’t a lawyer no more, Dave. You’re a gangster now. You’re on the other side. Whole new ball game. You can’t learn about it at school, and you can’t have a late start. - Carlito Brigante
Your problems aren't going to just go away. Duh, duh duh...
Moe Tilden: See sheriff, I got a sticky problem. My jurisdiction ends, in a sense, at the George Washington Bridge. But half the men I watch live beyond that bridge, where no one's watching.
Last night I caught part of the Wayans bros movie Don't Be a Menace to South Cental lmao
Some of the lines are so fn funny.
Ashtray! You little bitch ass motherfucker! Come over here and give your grandma a hug!
At the party, I like that one hood sitting at the table who was so institutionalized he kept using a mirror to see everything instead of just looking up.
Break yourself give me your number lol
When these guys are trying to one up each other and they open up the back of the truck and its a nuclear missile Do We have a problem, better get outta here fool before we got a nuclear holocaust man lmao
When Ashtray goes for his driving test and his instructor has him park curbside so he can go in to rob a bank Drive motherfucker drive ha ha ha ha
@ Mark --My Cousin Vinny was great. I watch it anytime it comes on TV.
Did you see Jersey Boys? Who caught this line?
That's funny
Funny how
Pesci was having a conversation with Bob G. at his front door and then at the end of the conversation Bob says to Pesci "That's Funny" and Pesci says "Funny How"
You're right about the British movies plus I need to put subtitles on cuz I can't understand what those Brits are saying half the time
Scarface is a great flick but I knew too many coke heads growing up. The amount of coke these ppl did was fn crazy and most are dead or in prison. Say NO to drugs!!!
I never understood what separated the recreational drug user from the habitual, but for the grace of God, it could have been me snorting lines as long as the Belt Parkway.
Not just a quote, more of a monologue, but one of the greatest ever in a gangster movie if you ask me. Armand Assante is simply a great actor, who delivered this monologue superbly..
John Gotti: Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And I think of Neil; and If he would sit here right now what`d he say to me? He`d say "John! what's it about? What's life about... if you don't go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. Thats made you who you are. That makes you what you are. How long we`ve been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years... i mean whats it about? Its about the rules, perimeters. You take the beating for the friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are... what you are.
Frank Locascio: Self Esteem...
John Gotti: Self Esteem is basic. You pick it up on the street, that goes with the street, you gotta remember Angie here. I loved this guy, I loved him and he was stupid, he never listened to me, he always wanted that god damn dope money... He never rolled, do you know that? HE NEVER ROLLED! My brother Gene, Joey DiMig,they dont roll they're doing a thousand years now, they don`t roll, they don`t rat. Why? Thats the rule. You don't break, you don't rat. Basic rules. Gives you a lil of power right? Not the kind of power these FEDs have. God forbid,right, God forbid we pull their chain in public. Fuckin dress better than them and they take it personal likes its a fuckin vendetta. Right? There supposed to act better than the rest of us. They just wanted me to be something I wasn't even born to be.
Frank Locascio: Humble, they want you to be humble.
John Gotti: Yeah so you humble me. What you got now? You got a war. You got a global war. You got the ch*nks, you got the Dominicans, the Asians, the Russians, the Columbians, Jamaicans. What they doin? They desecrate the nation. You got your variable fuckin' snowstorms of cocaine and smack -- whatever the hell else they shove in their veins. You got a worldwide crime syndicate now. There's no rules. There's no parameters. There's no feelings. There's no feelings for this country.
Frank Locascio: Anarchy.
John Gotti: You got anarchy. So... 5-10 years from now, they gonna wish there was an American Cosa Nostra. 5-10 years from now, they gonna miss John Gotti.
Billy, this was a a great movie. Armand Assante was the perfect Gotti. I never understood why Junior and Victoria would think that they could ever make a better movie. Great scene thanks for posting.
I also don't understand that Bean, I really don't think Travolta can do a better job as Assante..
They supposedly want to go for the father/son angle, which might even work and make the movie a lot different than this one, considering Junior isn't even mentioned in this one..
Dignam: You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy, the fuckin' donkey on the weekends. I got that right?
Dignam: [Billy does not answer] Yup. You have different accents? You did, didn't you? You little fuckin' snake. You were like different people.
That one actor, Armen Garo, really has quite some punch appeal, get's his ass kicked by Leo in this one and gets curb stomped by James Gandolfini RIP in the Sopranos..
I didn't even clock that it was Coco from The Sopranos, good call man.
Another of my favorite movie quotes from American History X:
Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed White people, blamed society, blamed God.
I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.
Derek Vinyard: Like what?
Bob Sweeney: Has anything you've done made your life better?
A real small thing: in the shine box scene of Goodfellas Billy Batts calls Jimmy's boys "those Irish hoodlums" and Jimmy reminds him that just one of them is Irish. Billy buys them a drink and Jimmy toasts him, "Top o' the morning to ya," like he's Barry Fitzgerald.
David Mills: Wait, I thought all you did was kill innocent people. John Doe: Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. After him, I picked the lawyer and I know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets! David Mills: Murderers? John Doe: A woman... David Mills: Murderers, John, like yourself? John Doe: [interrupts] A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.
Dear fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere.
The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.
The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer" and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much.
Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends.
I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am.
Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more.
I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay.
I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.
P.S: Tell Heywood I'm sorry I put a knife to his throat. No hard feelings. Brooks.
Detective Downie: [about Neville] So you took him to the hospital?
Chopper: No, I didn't take him to the bloody hospital. Now tell me this, right? Why would I shoot a bloke - BANG - and then put him in the bloody car and whiz him off to the hospital at a hundred miles an hour? It defeats the purpose of having shot him in the first place. What's more, it's bloody insulting, it's bloody insulting. I mean, am I the only bloody standover man in the country who provides a medical plan for some of these characters?
This is a tough decision here. Get my ass kicked or collect $200. Let me think...I could use a good ass-kickin. I'll be very honest with you. Nah, I think I'll just go with the two hundred.
Here is my counteroffer
Do I have to kill you? What if I was to just kick the ever lovin shit outta you
In your dreams
Oh no, no, no in reality
If I was to kick the shit outta you Do I get the money?
