A Bronx Tale

"Sometimes in the heat of passion, the little head tells the big head what to do, and the big head should think twice about what you are doing."

"[about Sonny] People don't love him, they fear him. There's a difference."

"Mickey Mantle? Is that what you're upset about? Mickey Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? You don't know? Well, see, if your father can't pay the rent, go ask Mickey Mantle and see what he tells you. Mickey Mantle don't care about you, so why should you care about him? Nobody cares."

"[last words before he died] Come here!"

"It was great to be Catholic and go to confession. You could start over every week."

"I was getting two educations: One from the street and one from school. That way I'd be twice as smart as everybody."

"[as he walks out of Sonny's funeral] Sonny and my father always said that when I get older I would understand. Well, I finally did. I learned something from these two men. I learned to give love and get love unconditionally. You just have to accept people for what they are, and I learned the greatest gift of all. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever. But you can ask anybody from my neighborhood, and they'll just tell you this is just another Bronx tale."
