Michael Imperioli: Dominic Di Grasso

Quotes 

• Dominic Di Grasso : You think she just wanted to get away from us?

  Albie Di Grasso : Maybe. You do have a knack for repelling women.

• Bert Di Grasso : They own a house where they shot the best American movie ever made.

  Albie Di Grasso : No, it's not.

  Bert Di Grasso : No? Why not? I think so.

  Albie Di Grasso : Well, yeah, I mean, you would.

  Bert Di Grasso : All right, what's that supposed to mean?

  Albie Di Grasso : It's because you're nostalgic for the solid days of the patriarchy.

  Dominic Di Grasso : They're undeniably great movies.

  Albie Di Grasso : Men love The Godfather because they feel emasculated by modern society. It's a fantasy about a time when they could go out and solve all their problems with violence and sleep with every woman... And then come home to their wife who doesn't ask them any questions and makes them pasta.

  Bert Di Grasso : Hey, hey, hey. It's a normal male fantasy.

  Albie Di Grasso : No, movies like that socialize men into having that fantasy.

  Dominic Di Grasso : Movies like that exist because men already do have that fantasy. We're hard-wired.

  Bert Di Grasso : Mm. Comes with the testosterone.

  Albie Di Grasso : No. Gender is a construct. It's created.

  Bert Di Grasso : You spent all that money on Stanford, he comes back brainwashed.

• Dominic Di Grasso : I feel like you have this wrong, distorted impression of me. I have always supported women. I have always promoted women. I'm a feminist. I mean, I didn't marry some subservient wife. Your mother is a brilliant, amazing woman. Did you talk to her?

  Albie Di Grasso : We didn't talk about you, Dad.

  Dominic Di Grasso : No, I don't want to put you in the middle. Um... You don't have to say anything to her. But if you did say something... I'm hoping you'd tell her that I'm really, really, really missing her and Cara, and... and that I feel... I feel really awful. She listens to you.

  Albie Di Grasso : Nothing is gonna fix this.

  Dominic Di Grasso : No?

  Albie Di Grasso : You have to change, Dad. You have to stop doing what you're doing and actually change.

  Dominic Di Grasso : I know that. And I have changed. And I am changing. I can change.

  Albie Di Grasso : Oh, yeah?

  Dominic Di Grasso : Yes. I can be the man she wants me to be, again.
