Quotes 

• Carlito : You ripped him off, didn't you?

  David Kleinfeld : What?

  Carlito : Tony T. You did take the million dollars, didn't you?

  David Kleinfeld : [guiltily]  Yeah.

  Carlito : You ain't a lawyer no more, Dave. You a gangster now. On the other side. A whole new ball game. You can't learn about it in school, and you can't have a late start.

  David Kleinfeld : Don't worry about me.

  Carlito : One more thing. We're even.

  David Kleinfeld : [puts his hand on Carlito's shoulder]  Let's get a drink.

  Carlito : [slaps Dave's hand away]  Say it! We're even!

  David Kleinfeld : [softly]  We're even.

• David Kleinfeld : Hey Louie... Louie, your fuckin' chick's givin' you a handjob right in front of everybody. I got guests here, for christsake. People are eating.

  Louie : Take it easy, Dave.

  David Kleinfeld : No-you take it easy. You got any manners? You wanna fuck her, fuck her like a normal human being - take her in the bedroom.

• David Kleinfeld : Fuck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 fucking times? No, it didn't, I did, so fuck you, fuck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass.

  Frankie Taglialucci : What's with the extra guy?

  [referring to Carlito] 

  David Kleinfeld : Carlito, this is one of Tony's sons, Frankie.

  Frankie Taglialucci : Nah, it's Frank.

  David Kleinfeld : Whatever...

  Frankie Taglialucci : No! What is with the extra guy?

  David Kleinfeld : Oh, I'm sorry, is this your boat? Shut the fuck up, if I wanted help, I brought help.

• Carlito : Gimme your piece, Dave.

  David Kleinfeld : What?

  Carlito : Gimme the fucking gun! Since when are you a tough guy?

• [repeated line] 

  David Kleinfeld : [brandishing a weapon, and grinning psychotically]  How does it feel? Huh?

• David Kleinfeld : [to the Italian dancing with Gail]  Hey! Hey!

  Carlito : What are you doin'?

  David Kleinfeld : Hey!

  Carlito : Are you out of your fuckin' mind?

  David Kleinfeld : Hey, you!

  Italian at Copa : What's that?

  David Kleinfeld : Yeah, you! You wop!

  Italian at Copa : Me?

  David Kleinfeld : You, spaghetti dick!

  Carlito : [getting up to stop Dave]  Okay.

  Italian at Copa : Who are you talking to?

  David Kleinfeld : I'm talking to you!

  Italian at Copa : You talkin' to me?

  David Kleinfeld : Yeah, you!

• David Kleinfeld : Oh that's right, you're gonna rent Ford Pintos to tourists in paradise.

• David Kleinfeld : [watching an Italian man dancing with Gail]  You're gonna let this fuckin' goombah paw your woman like that?

  Carlito : Hey, they're just dancin'. Don't you appreciate that? The movement. The rhythm. What I don't appreciate is he's got his fuckin' hands all over her ass.

  Carlito : He's doesn't have his hands over her ass. I believe those are hips.

  David Kleinfeld : [still watching the Italian man dance with Gail]  This shithead. These fuckin' wiseguys think they're so hardass. I am so sick of hoods like *that* coming into my office, MY office, thinkin' they can push me around.

  Carlito : [sarcastically]  Oh, I think you should tell him what you think. I mean, why would you ever hold something like that inside? I mean, why not get something like that off your chest? It's a terrible thing to carry around with you.

  David Kleinfeld : I will.

  Carlito : I think you should.

  David Kleinfeld : I will.

  Carlito : Oh, yeah. Go ahead, look, see how interested he's gonna be in your comments.
