Quotes

[regarding the mausoleum that has been built for Noodles' friends and credited to him]
Noodles : I've never seen a tomb like this...
The Cemetery Directress : We like to call them "havens". We find it's more... comforting.
Noodles : [reading an engravement] "Erected to their everlasting memory by their friend and brother, David Aaronson "Noodles", 1967". This was just built?
The Cemetery Directress : Yes. You know Mister Aaronson, Mister...? Sorry.
Noodles : Mister Williams.
The Cemetery Directress : Mister Williams. Well, interest like yours is a compliment to our architects, Mr. Williams. After you.
