Nicky Santoro: I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning ill get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and... walk in and see and uh... if you don't have my money for me, I'll... crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do.

He always was. Remo, what do you think? Remo Gaggi: Look... why take a chance? At least, that's the way I feel about it.

Ace Rothstein: When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And, for a while, I believed that's the kind of love I had.

Nicky Santoro: 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.

You motherfucker, you.

Ace Rothstein: No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he'll keep comin' back and back until one of you is dead.

Ace Rothstein: [narrating] 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.

Ace Rothstein: [narrating] In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all.

[Don is dismissed from the casino] Don Ward: You might regret this, Mr. Rothstein. Ace Rothstein: I'll regret it even more if I keep you on. Don Ward: This is not the way to treat people. Ace Rothstein: Listen, if you didn't know you're bein' scammed, you're too fuckin' dumb to keep this job. If you did know, you were in on it. Either way, you're out. Get out! Go on.

[a cowboy has his feet on a table in the casino] Ace Rothstein: [to Sherbert] I don't give a shit who he's connected to. Tell him to take his fuckin' feet off the table.

I'm havin' a bad night. Billy Sherbert: [to Ace] Fuckin' asshole won't budge.

Ginger: [about Ace] He called you right here. Lester Diamond: I just talked to him. Ginger: So he knows where you are. That means he's sending some guys over here probably right now. Lester Diamond: Ginger, it means he's sitting by the phone like a dumb-bell, waiting for me to call him back. Now, I... Ginger: That's... Yeah, he's sitting by the phone like a dumb-bell, just waiting for you to call him back. That's what he's... Lester Diamond: He's sittin' by the phone... Ginger: [yelling] What do you think we're gonna do? He's probably got guys outside the fuckin' house!

Nicky Santoro: [narrating] The first one to skip was John Nance. He found a nice, warm, secluded place in Costa Rica. He thought nobody would find him there. [gunshots are heard, John Nance runs out through and breaks his way in through another door. He is followed by one of the gangsters. More gunshots are heard. John walks outside putting pressure on a bullet wound in his gut] Nicky Santoro: But then his kid got nabbed by the Feds for drugs. So naturally, the bosses were afraid he'd come out of hiding to save his kid and give them all up. So... Beeper: [beeper comes out] Where you going jack-off! [shoots Nance]

Nicky Santoro: You know I get calls from back home every fuckin' day? They think that you went batshit. Ace Rothstein: I'm only TV because I gotta be able to hang around the casino. You understand that. You know that. Come on. Nicky Santoro: Your fuckin' ass. You could have done the food and beverage job without goin' on television. You wanted to go on TV.
