Road to Perdition quotes
Page 1 of 3This is Mr. Rance in the bridal suite and before you proffer your phony congratulations there is no Mrs. Rance residing with me and I'm all the better for it. Now, listen carefully because I am in no mood. I'm going to say this only once. I would like a boiled egg and I want it runny.
Finn McGovern [to John Rooney]
You rule this town as God rules the Earth.
What do you think you're going to accomplish by interfering with our business, Mr. Sullivan?
This has nothing to do with your business.
It's all business. That's what you fail to grasp. And in business, you must have something to trade. And you, Mr. Sullivan, have nothing to trade. Especially not for anyone as valuable as Connor Rooney.
Betty the Waitress So what brings you guys to the middle of nowhere?
We're bank robbers.
Connor Rooney
I can look after myself.
Frank Nitti No, you can't! This is the point. You're a big baby who doesn't know his thumb from his dick!
Yeah.
Sorry for you. Terrible thing... but it sure makes you feel alive, don't it?
I'll drink to that.
Your mother knows I love Mr. Rooney. When we had nothing, he gave us a home... a life... and we owe him.
Did you like Peter more than me?
No. I loved you both the same.
You were always... different with me.
Was I?
[Sullivan thinks for a while]
Well, I suppose it was because Peter was just... such a sweet little boy, you know? And you... you were more like me. And I... didn't want you to be.
I couldn't do it.
I know.
So when do I get my share of the money?
Well... how much do you want?
Two hundred dollars.
Okay. Deal. [Michael Jr. stops eating and thinks for awhile] Could I have had more?
You'll never know.
What are you going to do?
[teaching his son to drive]
Look out for the tractor, Mike. Michael... look out for the tractor. You're coming up now. Watch out for the tractor. Watch out for the tractor! Watch out for the tractor!
He murdered Annie and Peter!
There are only murderers in this room! Michael! Open your eyes! This is the life we chose, the life we lead. And there is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.
Michael could.
Then do everything that you can to see that that happens.
I'd like to work for you.
Frank Nitti [Chuckles]
Well... that's very interesting.
And in return, I'd like you to turn a blind eye to... what I have to do.
Frank Nitti And what is that?
Kill the man who murdered my family.
