"Honk your horn, whatever, just make sure he's watching." "At the same time and you start pushing her head down firmly between your legs." "Get the fuck outta here." "Yeah." "It's for her own good." "Now, if this girl goes down on the old bragiola, knowing that guy is watching, then she can't be trusted." "It won't work." "You're sick, you need help." "And if throw their hair over their ears, they did it before." "Believe me, they're pros." "Those niggers have passed us twice today." "Who gives a fuck?" "What are you talking about?"

"Well, there's your answer." "Look, it cost you $20 to get rid of him." "He'll never bother you, or ask you for money again." "He's out of your life for $20." "You got off cheap, forget it."

"The people who see me every day, that are on my side, they feel safe cos I'm close, and they have more reason to love me." "But those who want to do otherwise think twice, cos they know I'm close, and they have more reason to fear me." "Is it better to be loved or feared?" "It's a good question." "It's nice to be both, but it's difficult." "If I had my choice, I would rather be feared." "Fear lasts longer than love." "Friendships bought with money mean nothing." "If I make a joke, everybody laughes." "I'm funny, but not that funny." "Fear keeps them loyal, but the trick is not to be hated." "I treat them good, but not too good."

"Forget the $20!" "Do you know where Sonny is?" "Who gives a fuck!" "Stop breaking my balls!" "C, he's at the front." "Sonny!" "Sonny!" "C." "Come here." "Sonny!" "Let him through." "Let my boy through." "Come here." "Sonny!" "Hey, C, get over here." "'All I could see were big, smiling faces.'" "'Then out of all of these faces, was this one face.'" "'I couldn't see what was different." "Then I realised" " He wasn't smiling.'" "'All I could see was this guy, and nobody could see him but me.'" "Come on, C!" "No!" "Get an ambulance!" "Goddam motherfucker!" "'The guy that killed Sonny was the son of the man he'd killed in front of my house.'" "CHORAL:" "Ave Maria" "'There were flowers everywhere." "Gangsters have a thing about flowers.'" "'They think whoever sends the biggest arrangement cares the most.'" "John and Anthony from Detroit." "How are you son?" "'It was just like Sonny said.'" "'Nobody cares.'" "'Nobody cares.'" "I'm sorry, C, but we've gotta close up now." "Could you give me a bit longer?" "OK." "I'll be in my office." "How are you doing, Sonny?" "Not so good, huh?" "She passed the test, that's what I wanted to tell you." "She might be my first great one and I'm gonna go out with her." "Thanks for helping me." "I want to thank you for saving my life." "I never got a chance to tell you." "They all died." "Slick, Aldo, Mario, Ralphie." "All of them." "Sorry, I'm just think aloud." "That's OK." "It's understandable." "See this man?" "He's a great man." "He saved my life." "Yeah?" "You Lorenzo's kid?" "Yeah." "C, right?" "Yeah." "Sonny told me about you." "Sorry, I don't know you." "My name is Carmine." "We go back a long way together, Sonny and me." "He saved my life too once." "You don't remember me do you?" "Many years ago, in front of your house?" "You don't remember this?" "Yeah." "You got hit with the bat, right?" "Yeah, I remember." "I was there." "I saw the whole thing." "I know, kid." "Sonny told me what you did." "Listen, I've been away, but I'm gonna be taking care of things for a while." "If you need anything, I want you come and see me, OK?" "I'll give the bar a rest for a while." "Thanks anyway." "That's OK." "I understand." "Was that fight over a parking space?" "No." "Don't forget, if you need anything..." "Anything." "Alright." "So long, kid." "Dad, what are you doing here?" "I came to pay my respects to your friend." "You OK?" "Yeah." "Dad, I'm sorry if I hurt you." "It's OK." "Everything's gonna be OK." "Sonny, I wanna thank you for saving my kids life." "I never hated you." "I guess it's just..." "I was just mad at you because you made him grow up so fast." "May God have mercy on your soul." "I'll wait over here." "Sonny, did you hear that?" "My father didn't hate you." "Nobody cares, huh?" "You were wrong about that one." "Wasted talent." "See you around, Sonny." "Let's go home, C." "'Sonny and my father always said, when I got older I would understand.'" "'Well, I finally did.'" "'I learnt something.'" "'I learnt to give love, and get love unconditionally.'" "'How to accept people for what they are.'" "'And I learnt the greatest gift of all - the saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever.'" "'But you can ask anybody, and they'll just tell you, this is just another Bronx tale.'"
