• (Jimmy Conway) "Ah, pain in the ass."

• (Chuck Low) "Henry, you're a good kid, I've been good to you, you've been good to me. But there's something really unreasonable going on here. Jimmy's being an unconsionable ball-breaker. I never agreed to 3 points on top of the vig. Am I something special? Some sort of schmuck on wheels?"

• (Chuck Low) "Hey. f*** 'em. f*** 'em in the ear. What are you talking about? f*** 'em in the other ear, that son of a bitch. Did I ever bust his balls? Did I? Did I? I could've jumped the dime a million times, and I wouldn't have to pay tip."

Ray Liotta as Henry Hill

• (Ray Liotta) "Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies."

• (Ray Liotta) "You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us." You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can f*** around with you. It also means you could f*** around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member."

• (Ray Liotta) "When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy."

• (Ray Liotta) "Jimmy had never asked me to do a hit before, and now he's asking me to go down to Florida with Anthony to make a hit."
• (Ray Liotta) "That's when I knew I would never have come back from Florida alive."

• (Ray Liotta) "Whenever we needed money, we'd rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank."

• (Ray Liotta) "Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody."

• (Ray Liotta) "And when the cops, when they assigned a whole army to stop Jimmy, what'd he do? He made 'em partners."

• (Ray Liotta) "believe me --"

• (Ray Liotta) "And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like:"
• (Jimmy Two Times) "I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."

• (Ray Liotta) "Now take me to jail."

• (Ray Liotta) "So what does she do after she hangs up with me? After everything I told her? After all her "yeah, yeah, yeah" bulls***? She picks up the phone and calls from the house. Now, if anybody was listening, they'd know everything; they knew a package was leaving from my house; they'd even have the time and flight number, thanks to her."

• (Ray Liotta) "All they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. That's what it's all about. That's what the FBI can never understand; that what Paulie and the organization offer is protection for the kinds of guys who can't go to the cops. They're like the police department for wiseguys."

• (Ray Liotta) "I swear to my f***ing mother, if you touch her again, YOU'RE DEAD."

• (Ray Liotta) "I could see for the first time that Jimmy was a nervous wreck. His mind was going in eight different directions at once."
• (Jimmy Conway) "Think Morrie tells his wife everything?"
• (Ray Liotta) "Morrie? Him?"
• (Ray Liotta) "That's when I knew that Jimmy was gonna whack Morrie. That's how it happens. That's how fast it takes for a guy to get whacked."

• (Ray Liotta) "It was easy for all of us to disappear. My house was in my mother-in-law's name. My cars were registered to my wife. My social security cards and driver's licenses were phonies. I never voted. I never paid taxes. My birth certificate and my arrest sheet -- that's all you'd ever have to know I was alive."

• (Ray Liotta) "In prison, dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course and then we had a meat or fish. Paulie did the prep work. He was doing a year for contempt, and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system."

• (Ray Liotta) "If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help."

• (Ray Liotta) "Thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, sixty thousand."
• (Jimmy Conway) "It's gonna be a good summer."

• (Ray Liotta) "By the time I grew up, there was thirty billion a year in cargo moving through Idlewild Airport and believe me, we tried to steal every bit of it."

• (Ray Liotta) "For a second I thought I was dead. But, when I heard all the noise, I knew they were cops. Only cops talk that way. If they'd been wiseguys, I wouldn't have heard a thing. I would've been dead."

• (Ray Liotta) "For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked s***ty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean, they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again."

• (Ray Liotta) "I got enough to worry about getting whacked on the street. I gotta come home for this? I should f***ing kill you."

• (Ray Liotta) "It was revenge for Billy Batts, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Batts was a made man, and Tommy wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball s***. They even shot Tommy in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral."

• (Ray Liotta) "Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen hideout flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies."
• (Ray Liotta) "Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over."
• (Ray Liotta) "And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action -- have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food; right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody -- get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

• (Ray Liotta) "Killing's got to be accepted. Murder was the only way that everybody stayed in line. You got out of line, you got whacked. Everybody knew the rules."

I can't believe this, prejudiced against Ital; a Jew broad; prejudiced against Italians. Anyway, she won't go out with me alone unless her girlfriend comes with her, so I figured you could come along and go out with her girlfriend."

And he knew how to handle it."

• (Lorraine Bracco) "After awhile, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime. It was more like Henry was enterprising, and that he and the guys were making a few bucks hustling, while all the other guys were sitting on their asses, waiting for handouts. Our husbands weren't brain surgeons, they were blue-collar guys. The only way they could make extra money, real extra money, was to go out and cut a few corners."

• (Lorraine Bracco) "It was like he had two families. The first time I was introduced to all of them at once, it was crazy. Paulie and his brothers had lots of sons and nephews. And almost all of them were named Peter or Paul. It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding. Plus, they were all married to girls named Marie.
