F. Murray Abraham: Bert Di Grasso

Quotes 

• Bert Di Grasso : Listen. You can't come to Sicily and just sit in your room. It's against the law.

• Bert Di Grasso : Your mistake was being sloppy.

  Dominic Di Grasso : What are we talking about?

  Bert Di Grasso : That's what's unforgivable. A man does what he has to do. But you keep it tight. If you're sloppy, it's like you're rubbing her face in it. Bad form.

  Dominic Di Grasso : Thanks for the tip. You know, I don't think you were as discreet as you think you were regarding your own affairs.

  Bert Di Grasso : Affairs. They weren't affairs, they were nothing. They were peccadilloes.

• Bert Di Grasso : You know, Hades raped Persephone right here in Sicily. She was picking flowers and he burst through the earth... and he raped her.

  Albie Di Grasso : Okay, Nonno.

  Bert Di Grasso : Well, that's what happened. He raped her. Then, he dragged her down to the underworld.

  Portia : Hmm. I didn't know that.

  Bert Di Grasso : Demeter forgave Hades, and he raped her daughter! I mean, whatever you've done can't be as bad as that. As Hades. And the raping.
