Tony Manetta: What do you want from me, my blood? What do you want me to do.. crawl on my hands and knees? All I ask, you lend me a couple of bucks -- you expect me to become a penny-grabbing five and dime character like you. You expect me to change my way of life -- be you instead of me! Not a chance! You take your big brother sanctimonious act back to NY and turn blue!

Tony Manetta: Where'd you get the idea I need you? I need you like I need a hole in the head! How can I operate with you around? I lost Shirl. I lost the hotel. I'm broke only because I had you on my back all the time. That's why. That's why I couldn't operate. So you go in there and pack your clothes. I don't want you around anymore. Did you hear what I said?

Tony Manetta: You've had some luck Ally... lucky Ally... You must have been hiding behind a pole or something the afternoon they gave away the Daddies. I don't know, lately, you know, I could be walking right past a solid block of gold, and if I touch it, splish, spaghetti, right in my hands.

Ally: Oh that! I know.
Tony Manetta: You know what???
Ally: Well, you know...
Tony Manetta: Listen, I think you know too much. You're still a little kid you know. I'll tell you when to know!

Sophie Manetta: The poor things... they're so happy and so poor.
Mario Manetta: No, Sophie. Broke, yes, but they're not poor. We're poor. Come on, you'll cry later. The meter's running... the meter's running... what do I care if the meter's running? I could buy you and a hundred meters! Come on, let's take a vacation!
Mario Manetta: No, Sophie. Broke, yes, but they're not poor. We're poor. Come on, you'll cry later. The meter's running... the meter's running... what do I care if the meter's running? I could buy you and a hundred meters! Come on, let's take a vacation!

Mario Manetta: What's the matter? Would it break your arm to pick up the phone?
Julius, his son: What's the point, It's for you.

(as Mario Manetta)
Mario Manetta: You know your trouble? I'll tell you... You're not satisfied to be just getting along like everybody else. You want to be a millionaire. You want to live on Easy Street. Easy Street! I'll tell you who lives on Easy Street -- nobody! You want to make a million over night. Well it doesn't happen that way. I worked hard all my life -- 14 hours a day -- and made a good living. I never took a vacation in my whole life -- and I'm proud of it!
