"It starts out fine, and then it goes away." "Your penis becomes flaccid?" "Come again?" "It doesn't stay hard." "Sometimes, yeah." "Ah, uh-huh." "Whoa." "What are you doing?" "What, are you writing a book?" "Mr. Luciano, I need to document your recovery, the course of treatment." "Forget it." "I'm fine." " Forget I said nothin'." " But..."

"It's the only federal building in town." "We lost him, sir." "Damn it." "Did he talk?" "That's the reason I'm calling." "Sir, I have reason to believe" "James Darmody was involved in the woods massacre." "Darmody." "Why do I know that name?" "He's Thompson's lackey, sir." "We tried to recruit him." "Right." "Yes." "Given as how the local sheriff is Thompson's brother, the level of cooperation I'm likely to receive here necessitates my handling this arrest myself." "What arrest?" "Darmody, sir." "For murder." "Easy, laddy-buck." "You sit tight till I speak with Bodine in the U.S. attorney's office." "When will that be, sir?" "Get some rest." "Go home and see rose." "I'll call you in a few days." "I' be right here, sir." "Go home, Nelson." "Visit your wife." "That's an order." "And good job." "Jimmy." "Close the door." "Have a seat." "Your pal from the woods..." "He's dead." "Good." "That'll keep him quiet." "He already talked." "He fingered you to the feds." "That's impossible." "How would he even know who I was?" "The other one..." "Carbone." "Did he call you by name?" "When you were 10 years old, 11 maybe..." "I don't know if you'll even remember this..." "President Taft came to town, some campaign speech." "You were in the crowd." "I suppose you were with your dad." "But you turned to me and said," ""Nuck, what's a fella gotta do to become president?"" "I said, "well, you gotta study, learn everything you can about the world and do a lot of hard work."" "And you looked up at me in disbelief and said," ""gee, is that all?"" "I used to think you'd own the world one day." "You were like that kid in the alger story..." "Raggy Dick." "You did everything right." "And then..." "Nuck." "Nuck, I'll do whatever you want." "What you'll do is leave." "Leave Atlantic City?" "You're through here, kid." "Where am I supposed to go?" "I hear California's nice." "Maybe Chaplin needs a foil." "I've got a kid to feed, Eli." "And I got eight, which is why I think before I go off half-cocked." "What, you're gonna lecture me now?" "If it was up to me, it wouldn't stop with a lecture." "Take this money, give it to your wife." "I want you to know, nuck," "I never meant to hurt you." "What are you gonna do, cry, big war hero?" "Good luck, James." "I wonder sometimes..." "if it was me, would you be half as understanding?" "I have a right to know where you're going." "I told you, I can't talk about it, okay?" "No, it's not okay." "You're a grown man with a child." "Am I?" "What?" "Why are you fighting?" "We're not fighting, sweetie." "Tommy buddy, go play inside." "So that's it?" "You're just leaving?" "You seemed to be okay with it last time."

"Jimmy." "'Cause I will go back there and I will fucking kill him." "What's wrong with you?" "This man, his wife..." "They're lovely people." "They befriended me and your son when we had no one." "There was my mother." "You don't know what it was like being alone, not knowing whether you were dead or alive." "And just as I get used to living without you, you show up out of nowhere." "What did you expect?" "I don't know!" "For things to be normal." "Things were barely normal before you left, Jimmy." "We hardly even knew each other." "Well, you know me a lot better now." "Make sure them labels are on straight, no glue running off the sides." "Bring the packard around." "Let me get one of them." "The roast tastes good." "This boy's not 20 years old." "It's a tragedy, Chalky." "Is that what it is?" "This goes no further than here, you understand me?" "You talk to these people." "It's an election year, Chalky." "The last thing we need is a race war." "Do you understand me?" "For the time being." "What happened is this man was cheating with another fella's wife." "And the fella shot him."
