Quotes 

• Charlie D'Amico : Now, listen up. This is the first order of business. I want Cordaro. I want Cordaro off by sundown. Is that understood? And I want to hear about it on the 6:00 news. And Mike Battaglia, Lou, you find Mike Battaglia before they lay a hit on him and when you find him, you treat him as a man of respect. Is that clear?

  Louie : It's done.

  Charlie D'Amico : All right. Cordaro's loss, that's Battaglia's gain.

• Charlie D'Amico : We are a fraternity of great honor. And we welcome only men of strength, courage and loyalty. Men of respect. Our way comes before anything else in life. Before God, before country, before family. You have sworn an oath, and we have embraced you. You have obeyed our laws without question and you have guarded the secrets of our thing. And you have shown respect and loyalty no less than a son. You are the fruit of our enterprise and you have earned yourself a very special place in our thing. Draw the blood. Buona salute. Capo regime.

  Mal : [raising his glass]  Battaglia!
