Quotes9

  • Goody DeSalvo: Since you got money, you only go out with beautiful women who treat you like dirt.
  • Vic De Salvo: It's a step up. Before I had money, I went out with ugly women who treated me like dirt.
  • Goody DeSalvo: What you need is a nice girl who likes you for yourself.
  • Vic De Salvo: That's not my type.
  • Bruno: Hey, Boss, you got a good broad here.
  • Vic De Salvo: Bruno, didn't you have your consciousness raised by the women's movement? You're not supposed to say 'broad' in front of them.
  • Tony: Let me get this straight, Vic. You want me and my truckers to break and enter the homes of innocent people... and help you perpetuate this fraud?
  • Vic De Salvo: Yeah.
  • Tony: I got no problem with that.
  • Vic De Salvo: I don't remember any Francine Kester on the invite list, do you, Skip?
  • Skip: Please, I have no knowledge of this woman.
  • Francine Kester: You don't look like you've had knowledge of any woman.
  • Francine Kester: What a place you've got here.
  • Vic De Salvo: Yeah.
  • Francine Kester: You're not an Arab, so you must be a drug dealer.
  • Vic De Salvo: I didn't make a move on you for four days. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.
  • Vic De Salvo: In trucking, I only had to deal with thugs, hitmen and goons. But these network guys are scary.
  • Vic De Salvo: Boys, I'm offering all of you a piece of the biggest money-making racket in America today.
  • Tony: Drugs?
  • Sid: Hookers?
  • Tony: Car insurance?
  • Vic De Salvo: No, television! Where a minute of advertising costs a hundred thousand dollars... and a ratings point is worth forty million to a network.
  • Francine Kester: I guess that girl tonight hurt you pretty bad.
  • Vic De Salvo: Nah, that was one of my healthier relationships. At least she didn't torch my warehouse. Some of them get vicious.
