Donnie Brasco quotes from Donnie Brasco (1997)

Donnie Brasco

"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."

Donnie Brasco

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.

Lefty

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

Donnie Brasco

Yeah, it's like in the army.

Lefty

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

Take your shoes off.

Donnie Brasco

Take my shoes off? You take your pants off, what the ****.

Donnie Brasco

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

Lefty

How many times I have you into my own house?

Donnie Brasco

Twice a week. Twice a week, at least.

Lefty

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

Donnie Brasco

Yeah.

Lefty

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?

Donnie Brasco

Yeah, you did.

Lefty

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.
