Cabbie: You know sir, I haven't gotten a dime tip since 1932. I'd love to frame it along with a picture of the sport that gave it to me.

(as Shirl)
Shirl: I just got started. You think I wanna settle down with a 12-year old kid? Why do you think I left my husband? Him and his whole family kept bugging me day after day... have a baby, have a baby. Who needs a baby? I'm a baby myself. I wanna be free... have fun.
Tony Manetta: Who don't?
Shirl: You don't. You're not selfish enough.
Tony Manetta: You kidding? I'm the most selfish man in the world.

(as Alvin 'Ally' Manetta)
Tony Manetta: Come here son. I think we better talk this over like a couple of men. I'm broke. I lost all the money. I can't even feed you.
Ally: I don't care.
Tony Manetta: But tomorrow we may not even have a place to sleep.
Ally: I don't care WHERE we sleep.
Tony Manetta: Listen, I'm going on the road anyway. You know me, I'm the champ. I bounce back like that! Right? So you go up to New York and live with them and if you don't like it, I'll put you in one of those fancy military schools where you can wear one of those hats with the strap under the chin and look like a big general.
Ally: No Pop -- I don't want to be a general! I want to be with you! You promised! Please Pop, don't send me away. They don't need me. You need me!
Ally: I don't care.

(as Tony Manetta)
Tony Manetta: Sophie, Mario... I was wondering if, well... would you take Ally to live with you?
Sophie Manetta: Ally? But he don't want to go with us.
Tony Manetta: I don't care what he wants. And don't put me through a ringer Sophie, not you. You were absolutely right Mario. I'm nothing but a bum. Never have been anything but a bum. I had the money right in my hand, but I blew it trying to impress a guy who knows me like a book. Like you know me. Like everybody else knows me -- except me. A cheap, chiseling, conniving bum. And I don't want Alley to be like that, so please take him with you.
