Quotes

  • Ray Luca (to underling Pauli Taglia): Get this through your thick head...you don't ask questions, you don't get any votes. And if you don't like it, you can walk out now, Pauli!
  • Ray Luca: I'm not into influence, I'm into building relationships...that, in time, make the pot bigger for everyone.
  • Luca: You know what a numismatist is?
Pauli: Somebody that puts their underwear on backwards!
  • Ray Luca: Pauli, in all the years I've known you, I don't know anyone who'd wanna make out with you!
  • (after Torello delivers the news that Pernell Randall was killed in a shootout)
Kehoe: Is he dead?
Torello: He was never really alive.
