Quotes8

  • Susan: You know what's wrong with you, Mr Grandi? You've being seeing too many gangster movies. Mike may be spoiling some of your fun.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Mike?
  • Susan: My husband, yeah! And if you're trying to scare me into calling him off, let me tell you something Mr. Grandi. I may be scared, but he wont be.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: You just said it yourself. Somebody's reputation has got to be ruined. Why shouldn't it be Vargas'.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: In this thing we're partners, see. Shall we - drink to that?
  • Quinlan: I don't...
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Juanita, two more double bourbons. Make 'em nice and big.
  • Susan: You silly little pig.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Who are you talking about?
  • Susan: I'm talking about you. You ridiculous, old fashioned, jug-earred, lopsided, little Caesar.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: I didn't get that Señora. You'll have to talk slow.
  • Susan: I'm talking slow. But, in a minute I'll start to yell.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: I wouldn't do that Señora.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Oh, what a set up to work with! One brother in jail, two brothers dead. And nobody left to carry on the business but a bunch of nephews!
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: We going to get him where it really hurts - and without laying a hand on him! He's got a reputation. He's got a young bride. He's going to leave this town wishing he and that wife of his had never born.
  • Quinlan: What do you want?
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Nothing, Captain. Nothing that you don't want too.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: You got her undressed?
  • Girl Gang Member #1: Yeah. We have scattered our reefer stubs around.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: You kids didn't use none of that stuff yourself, huh?
  • Girl Gang Member #2: You think we're crazy?
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Nobody in the Grandi Family gets hooked. Understand? That's the rule.
  • Girl Gang Member #1: We blew the smoke at her clothes, that's all.
  • Girl Gang Member #2: Like you said, we put on a good show to scare her.
  • 'Uncle' Joe Grandi: Let's hope it was good enough.
