"No sense being a grifter if it's the same as bein' a citizen."

"[enters the poker game pretending to be drunk] Sorry I'm late, guys, I was takin' a crap."

"You see that fella in the red sweater over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Works a few of the protection rackets for Cunnaro when he's waiting for something better to happen. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd. Because if he ever finds out I can be beat by one lousy grifter, I'll have to kill him and every other hood who wants to muscle in on my Chicago operation."
