- Vince Rizzo: Did you sleep outside last night?
- Vince Jr.: No, no, no. I did heroin with a bunch of prostitutes at the Plaza Hotel. I'm thinking of becoming a pimp.
- Vince Rizzo: Good. I'll see you later.
- Joyce Rizzo: [lighting cigarette] My husband thinks I quit.
- Tony: One good thing about the joint, they don't let you smoke anymore so... I quit inside.
- Joyce Rizzo: Being in prison and not being able to smoke? That's like being in jail. Join me.
- Tony: All right.
- Tony: Can I ask you, like, why I'm chained to a Ford?
- Vince Rizzo: I'm gonna unchain you, Tony, but first I gotta tell you something. You see this house here? That's my home. My grandfather built this home and I share it with my family.
- Tony: Oh, you got them chained up in the house too?
- Vince Rizzo: You're gonna get real nice food and a real nice place to live for the first time in 3 years, so you better behave yourself.
- Tony: And all this because you knew my bitch mother?
- Vince Rizzo: Well, I gotta admit, you know, Nan could be difficult sometimes. But... she was also...
- Tony: A drunk and a whore.
- Vince Rizzo: Why do you call her that?
- Tony: She used to punish me for not boosting cases of vodka from the liquor store I worked at, by screwing my friends. Which base does 'drunk' and 'whore' not cover?
- Vince Rizzo: Don't you have any fond memories of her?
- Tony: Well, at least she was around. My father left before I was born.
- Vince Rizzo: [pauses] What do you know about him?
- Tony: He's dead.
- Vince Rizzo: That's too bad.
- Tony: Eh, the only thing that's too bad, is I didn't get a chance to visit his deathbed and dance in his ugly face for leaving me with that bitch.
- Vince Rizzo: Okay, let's go.
- Molly: Well, think about it Vincent. Acting is one of the strangest things a person could possibly choose to do. Pretending to be someone else, who was dreamed up by some third party. It's like agreeing to be a marionette.
- Vince Rizzo: Why do you act?
- Molly: Really, what other profession could accommodate my sort of behavioral problems?
- Vince Rizzo: Yeah, sort of like getting paid for being a professional screw-up.
- Molly: [giggles] Perfect.
- [last lines]
- Vince Rizzo: Me, I was lucky, because God he has a way of busting you when you most need it. And he has a way of giving you a second chance. To amend for your screw ups. Now, I got my second chance.
- Vince Rizzo: [presiding over family cook out] Okay, let's eat!
- Vince Rizzo: There's so much I wanna tell you. I just could never... I could never find which seems to be the right time.
- Joyce Rizzo: I thought you were just sick of me.
- Vince Rizzo: Sick of you? No, scared of you maybe a little bit but never sick of you.
