F. Murray Abraham: Bert Di Grasso

Quotes 

• Bert Di Grasso : Women aren't all saints, Albie. They're just like us.

• Dominic Di Grasso : You know, I... I... I don't know how I feel about you spending a lot of time with those girls, Albie.

  Albie Di Grasso : Why? What's the problem?

  Bert Di Grasso : I think because they're escorts.

  Albie Di Grasso : How do you know?

  Bert Di Grasso : Well, because...

  Albie Di Grasso : Because what?

  Bert Di Grasso : Because I wasn't born yesterday, and it's fairly obvious.

• Dominic Di Grasso : Dad, what is the matter with you? I... I mean, you almost just...

  Bert Di Grasso : Just what?

  Dominic Di Grasso : You know what. I'm trying to smooth things over with Albie and with everyone, and that would, you know... that would really not be good.

  Bert Di Grasso : I can't be responsible for everything I say, I'm concussed. I just hit my head.

• Bert Di Grasso : You can't really be surprised, can you?

  Dominic Di Grasso : By what?

  Bert Di Grasso : Well, that he's running around with an escort.

  Dominic Di Grasso : What do you mean?

  Bert Di Grasso : You've normalized it for him.

  Dominic Di Grasso : Right, like you normalized it for me.

  Bert Di Grasso : Oh, I never ran around with hookers.

  Dominic Di Grasso : I don't run around with hookers either.

  Bert Di Grasso : Dom. Didn't you run around with that exact hooker? You gave her the key to my room.

  Dominic Di Grasso : You know the reason I am the way I am is because of you.

  Bert Di Grasso : You're blaming me for your situation? That's rich.

  Dominic Di Grasso : Do you think you were so discrete? Do you? I mean, how many nights did I hear Mom cry herself to sleep? Get real. Everybody knew, Dad. Everybody knew. Everybody knew.

  Bert Di Grasso : We had a great marriage.

  Dominic Di Grasso : Oh, my God. You are deluded. You made her life hell my entire childhood. Do you have amnesia?

  Bert Di Grasso : If I made her life hell, why'd she stay with me?

  Dominic Di Grasso : I have no idea. She didn't know any better. She was a martyr. I don't know.

  Bert Di Grasso : She loved me.

  Dominic Di Grasso : She was a bitter woman. And she died a bitter woman, and she knew about everything you did. Believe me. You were just too self-involved to even notice that. Yeah, and you know what, I... I don't blame you for my situation, but I sure fucking could. Because you never... showed me how to love a woman. You never... showed me how to be intimate. You never showed me how to put others first. You always put yourself first. Always. So I did the same thing.

  Bert Di Grasso : I loved your mother. And she loved me.

  Dominic Di Grasso : It's not that simple.

  Bert Di Grasso : Yes, it is.
