Cattano

Success. It's got enemies. You can be successful and have enemies or you can be unsuccessful and have friends.

Cattano

I always wonder if people know when history's being made. And what they're doing at the time. This, for instance, could be a historic moment, and you're sipping a glass of ice water.

F.B.I Agent

Mr. Gotti, I am with the F.B.I

John Gotti

You know what F.B.I stands for don't you?

F.B.I Agent

Why don't you tell me.

John Gotti

Forever bother the Italians.

JoJo walks into the bar. He's wearin' a solid gold belt buckle this big: says JoJo on it, he's got a bracelet on his arm: says JoJo on it, he's got a ****in' necklace: says JoJo on it, he's got solid gold cuff links: they all say JoJo on 'em. So this little chink waiter walks over and says, "Excuse me mister JoJo." He said, "Shut the **** up, I don't want anyone to know I'm here."

John Gotti

Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And I think of Neil; and If he would sit here right now what`d he say to me? He`d say "John! what's it about? What's life about... if you don't go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. Thats made you who you are. That makes you what you are. How long we`ve been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years... 'I mean what's it about? It's about the rules, parameters. You take the beating for the friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are... what you are.

Self Esteem...

John Gotti

Self Esteem is basic. You pick it up on the street, that goes with the street, you gotta remember Angie here. I loved this guy, I loved him and he was stupid, he never listened to me, he always wanted that god damn dope money... He never rolled, do you know that? HE NEVER ROLLED! My brother Gene, Joey DiMig,they dont roll they're doing a thousand years now, they don`t roll, they don`t rat. Why? Thats the rule. You don't break, you don't rat. Basic rules. Gives you a lil of power right? Not the kind of power these FEDs have. God forbid,right? God forbid we pull their chain in public. ****in dress better than them and they take it personal likes its a ****in vendetta. Right? There supposed to act better than the rest of us. They just wanted me to be something I wasn't even born to be.

Frank Locascio

Humble, they want you to be humble.

John Gotti

Yeah so you humble me. What you got now? You got a war. You got a global war. You got the ****, you got the Dominicans, the Asians, the Russians, the Columbians, Jamaicans. What they doin? They desecrate the nation. You got your variable ****in' snowstorms of cocaine and smack -- whatever the hell else they shove in their veins. You got a worldwide crime syndicate now. There's no rules. There's no parameters. There's no feelings. There's no feelings for this country.

Frank Locascio

Anarchy.

John Gotti

You got anarchy. So... 5-10 years from now, they gonna wish there was an American Cosa Nostra. 5-10 years from now....they gonna miss John Gotti.

Angelo Ruggerio

By the time the fence takes his cut, it's small potatoes. We're breakin' our balls for peanuts.

Gene Gotti

Not for nothing, but the guys don't have two nickels to rub together. What are we doin' here, policy slips? It's bullshit.

John Gotti
[suddenly ranting]

All you's do, you cry like babies all day long, you bite my ass around the clock. If I'm not in here havin' my famous espresso with Tony Ducks by ten, I'm back by noon to check the numbers. But I'm the one that goes down to Mulberry to check it out with Mr. Neil, right? I'm the one that goes to Staten Island to pay respect to that lay-down cazzo Paulie. And then I I gotta drink bitter coffee, 'cause his spic maid cannot even run a ****in' espresso machine. I gotta sit with that zombie Bilotti, doberman my ass!
[John stands up] ]

John Gotti

I gotta go out to the island now to talk to Bobby about stolen watches? Are you ****in' kiddin' me? You know I could've been a meter maid? I could've worked for U-P-****-S, and made more ****in' money! Where the **** you come cryin' to me about empty pockets? Why don't you just say what you want? You want a piece of DiB's porn? You want a piece of Sammy's construction? What do you want - demolition, cement, or garbage, which? You want trucks, meat, fish, garments? SO THE **** DO I!
