When's the last time I was in Jersey? Let me think. Never. What're you doing coming over here without letting anybody know? You don't know you can get hurt doing that? You got your money. Now, never, ever, come into the city again unannounced. You come in to see a ****in Broadway show you call ahead first to see if it's okay with me.

Scenes with Trupo
4 scenesWant to come over here a minute, Frank? [points to the heroin in the trunk of the car] Now what are we gonna do about this?
We're gonna shut the trunk and say good night, forget you pulled us over.
I got a better idea. [Takes out two slabs of heroin] Or would you rather I took it all and threw you and your brother in the ****in' river?
I don't know, would you rather it's your ****in' house blows up next time?
What's this? Don't tell me you're actually gonna arrest Frank Lucas, are you?
What? Haven't you heard? We're all **** crazy over here. You know what we do here? Cops... arrest... bad guys. The next time you come across the bridge, you should call me first. Just make sure it's safe.
Your husband's illustrious career is over. The Feds are going to come in and take it all. Everything. But not before I get my gratuity. Where's the money?
There was some on that dresser, but it's gone now so I guess you took it.
The money! The getaway money Frank and every other gangster keeps in his house!
If you leave now, there's a chance Frank might not kill you.
