Donnie Brasco quotes

Page 1 of 2

There's the boss. And, under him, there's the skipper. You know how this works?

Yeah, it's like in the army.

Bullshit. The army is some guy you don't know telling you to go whack some other guy you don't know.

Sonny Black
[Lefty is trying to break open a parking meter]

Hey, will you ****in' stop that?

How am I gonna get this thing open?

[looks back at the meter]

Open Sesame!

"Forget about it," it's like, uh, if you agree with someone. You know, like, "Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it." But then, if you disagree, like, "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it!" You know? But then, it's also like, if something is the greatest thing in the world, like, "Minghia, those peppers! Forget about it!" But it's also like saying "go to hell," too. You know, like, uh, "Hey, Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker," and Paulie says, "Forget about it!"... Sometimes it just means, uh, "forget about it."

[as Lefty points a revolver at him]

You think I'm a ****in' rat?

How many times I have you into my own house?

Twice a week. Twice a week, at least.

There it is. "At least." I cook for you.

If ever I had any money, I'd give you... I never had any money, but if ever I had a hundred bucks in my pocket, I'd give you fifty, right?

Yeah, you did.

If you're a rat... [puts revolver to his own head] ...if you're a rat, then I'm the biggest ****in' mutt in the history of the Mafia.

[talking to Donnie]

When I introduce you, I'm gonna say, "This is a friend of mine." That means you're a connected guy. Now if I said instead, "This is a friend of ours," that would mean you're a made guy. A Capisce?

All my life I've tried to be the good guy, the guy in the white **** hat. And for what? For nothing. I'm not becoming like them; I am them.

And listen to me, if Donnie calls... , tell him... if it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him. All right?

How much money did you give that guy? A wiseguy never pays for his drinks.

I never hear from my boss until he dies, then my whole life gets turned upside down!
