Caesar Enrico Bandello : [reading newspaper headline] Underworld pays respect to Diamond Pete Montana.
Joe Massara : What's that got to do with the price of eggs?
Caesar Enrico Bandello : Plenty. Diamond Pete Montana. He don't have to waste his time on cheap gas stations. He's somebody. He's in the big town, doing things in a big way. And look at us. Just a couple of nobodies. Nothin'!

Joe Massara : Yeah, there's money in the big town, all right. And the women. Good times, somethin' doin' all the time. Excitin' things, you know. Gee, the clothes I could wear.

Caesar Enrico Bandello : Dancing's all right for a sideline. It gives you a swell front. But it ain't my idea of a man's game.

Caesar Enrico Bandello : Who's kicking?

Joe Massara : You lay off Olga.
Caesar Enrico Bandello : I ain't laying off. I'm after her! One of us has to lose, and it ain't gonna be me. There's ways of stopping that dame!
Joe Massara : You're crazy. Leave her out of this!
Caesar Enrico Bandello : She's through. She outta the way. That's what she is.
Joe Massara : You're lying. You wouldn't dare!
Caesar Enrico Bandello : I wouldn't, would I? I'll show you!
Joe Massara : Rico, listen. I love her. We're in love with one another. Don't that mean nothing to you?
Caesar Enrico Bandello : Nothing. Less than nothing. Love. Soft stuff! When she's got you, you ain't no good for anything.

Caesar Enrico Bandello : We don't want no softies spilling things!
Joe Massara : I won't spill anything, if you're scared of that. You think I want my neck stretched?
Caesar Enrico Bandello : Well, you know too much. I ain't gonna take any chances. You're hanging around with me, see?
Joe Massara : No, I'm not.
Caesar Enrico Bandello : All right. You go back to that dame - and it's suicide. Suicide for both of you.
-
Joe Massara : It's the rope for me.
