Party Girl (1958)

Lee J. Cobb: Rico Angelo

Quotes 

• Rico Angelo : Get him some coffee.

  Thomas Farrell : I'll take it down there, Nick.

  Gangster : What's the matter with here?

  Rico Angelo : Shh! It's a chick! Chicks come first.

• Rico Angelo : He's a smart kid.

  Thomas Farrell : Brilliant. He's also a psychopath!

  Rico Angelo : You know, that's what I like about you, Tommy, you got class, big talk, fancy words. But, what's it mean?

  Thomas Farrell : He's insane, Rico. Crazy, Gone in the head.

  Rico Angelo : Why? Because he takes care of a few rats who got in his way? Maybe I done the same thing! Am I crazy too?

  Thomas Farrell : You're predictable, Rico. He isn't. He doesn't kill for business, he kills because he enjoys it. He's like a dog with the rabies, except he doesn't froth at the mouth. Someday he'll get around to that too.

  Rico Angelo : Look, maybe he froths, maybe he don't froth, all I know is he's in trouble.

• Rico Angelo : Cookie La Motte, shake hands with Tommy Farrell.

  Cookie La Motte : [La Motte lamely holds out his hand; Farrell declines to shake it. La Motte looks awkwardly at Farrell, then at Angelo]  So this is your genius?

  Rico Angelo : [to Farrell]  Maybe you've heard of Cookie?

  Thomas Farrell : Oh, everyone's heard of Cookie. Youngest punk in Illinois ever to beat a murder rap. 16, weren't you, Cookie?

  Cookie La Motte : [pointedly]  15 and a half.

  Thomas Farrell : [with false politeness]  *Excuse* me.

• Rico Angelo : Say, why didin't you bring the chick? There's a lot of nice people here tonight. The most important guys in town. Get it up here, I said. Say hello to my boy.

• Rico Angelo : Cookie ain't a punk anymore. Him and me, we kinda merged. He takes care of the southern part of the state. I operate here. But, right now, the reason I want you to meet him, Cookie's in kind of a jam.

• Rico Angelo : What do you say? What are his chances?

  Thomas Farrell : Do you want it quick? - - Get out of town Cookie.

• Rico Angelo : Take that chick of yours. That's what I call a real pretty chick. I only saw her once, but - the face of an angel. You know what a bottle of acid could do to a face like that?
