• Giovanni Cappa : This Johnny Boy is like your mister Groppi... a little crazy. It's nice you should help him out because of his family and our family but watch yourself... Don't spoil anything. His whole family has problems... his cousin, the girl who lives next door to you...

  Charlie : Teresa.

  Giovanni Cappa : ...The one who's sick, right? In the head.

  Charlie : No, she's got epilepsy.

  Giovanni Cappa : Yeah. That's what I said, sick in the head.

• Giovanni Cappa : Honorable men go with honorable men.

• Giovanni Cappa : These politicians... Ball Breakers. All blackmailers... if they had to live honestly, they would starve to death. They are not like us. They know where to come when they need us.

  Charlie : What did he do?

  Giovanni Cappa : What did he do? He was there. That's what he did.
