• Michael Corleone : C'mon Frankie... my father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth.

  Frank Pentangeli : Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth!

• Michael Corleone : [discussing the incident regarding the two unknown gunmen who fired through Michael's bedroom window earlier]  You heard what happened in my home?

  Frank Pentangeli : Mike, I almost died myself. We was all so relieved...

  Michael Corleone : [interrupts]  In my HOME! IN MY BEDROOM WHERE MY WIFE SLEEPS! Where my children come and play with their toys. In my home.

• Tom Hagen : When a plot against the Emperor failed... the plotters were always given a chance... to let their families keep their fortunes. Right?

  Frank Pentangeli : Yeah, but only the rich guys, Tom. The little guys got knocked off and all their estates went to the Emperors. Unless they went home and killed themselves, then nothing happened. And the families... the families were taken care of.

  Tom Hagen : That was a good break. A nice deal.

  Frank Pentangeli : Yeah... They went home... and sat in a hot bath... opened up their veins... and bled to death... and sometimes they had a little party before they did it.

• Frank Pentangeli : Those were the great old days,you know... And we was like the Roman Empire... The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire...

• Carmine Rosato : We're all very happy about your decision, Frankie. You're not going to regret it!

  Frank Pentangeli : I don't like this C-note, Rosato. I take that as an insult.

  Tony Rosato : [wraps a garrote around Pentangeli's neck]  Michael Corleone says "Hello"!

  [drags Pentangeli to a back room and with the help of two "buttonmen" tries to shove him into a closet] 

  Tony Rosato : [shouts]  Get his head in! Close the fuckin' door!

  Carmine Rosato : [a cop walks into the bar]  Your friend, the cop, what the f...

  Policeman : Hey, Rich, it's dark in here. You open or closed?

  Bartender : Hey, I just came in to clean up a little, you know? What's wrong?

  Policeman : [noticing Pentangeli]  Is that something on the floor?

  Bartender : [Carmine starts to pull a gun on the officer]  Carmine, No! Not here! Not a cop! Let him go!

  Carmine Rosato : ANTHONY!

  [as the cop starts to draw his billy club, Tony and the buttonmen run out of the back room and shove the cop into a booth, then grab Carmine and rush him out the door, followed by the cop, his gun drawn] 

  Tony Rosato : [to the policeman]  You open your fuckin' mouth, I'll blow your head off!

  [a gunfight erupts in the street as the Rosato Brothers try to escape] 

• Frank Pentangeli : Cicc', a porta!
