Vinny Gambini : [Vinny is the lawyer, but Stan thinks he is there to sodomize him] Look, it's either me or them. You're gettin' fucked one way or the other. Hey, relax, I'm gonna help you.
Stan Rothenstein : Gee thanks.
Vinny Gambini : Excuse me, I think a modicum of gratitude would not be out of line here.
Stan Rothenstein : You think I should be grateful?
Vinny Gambini : Yeah, it's your ass, not mine. I think you should be grateful. I think you should be down on your fuckin' knees.
Stan Rothenstein : I didn't know it was such an honor to get a visit from you.
Vinny Gambini : I'm doing a favor, you know. You're gettin' me for nothing, you little fuck!
Stan Rothenstein : That's one hell of an ego you got.
Vinny Gambini : What the fuck is your problem? I did not come down here just to get jerked off.
Stan Rothenstein : I'm not jerking you off. I'm not doing anything.
Vinny Gambini : That's it. You're on your own. I'll just take care of Sleeping Beauty.
Bill Gambini : [after Vinny wakes him up] Vinny. Vinny bag o' donuts.

Bill Gambini : At my cousin Ruthie's wedding, the groom's brother was that guy Alakazam. You know who I'm talking about?
Stan Rothenstein : The magician with the ponytail?
Bill Gambini : Right. Well, he did his act, and every time he made something disappear, Vinny jumped on him. I mean, he nailed him! It was like, "it's in his pocket", or "he's palming it", you know? Or, "there's a mirror under the table." I mean, he was like, he was like, "wait a second, wait a second, it's joined in the middle, and there's a spring around it, it pops it open when it's inside the tube." It was like Alakazam's worst nightmare. Vinny was just being Vinny. He was just being the quintessential Gambini.

Bill Gambini : You have to see the Gambinis in action. I mean, these people, they love to argue. I mean, they live to argue.

Stan Rothenstein : Why didn't you ask them any questions?
Vinny Gambini : Huh? Ask who questions?
Bill Gambini : The witnesses! You know you could have asked questions, didn't you, Vin?
Stan Rothenstein : Damn it, Vinny! Maybe if you'd put up some kind of a fight, you could have gotten the case thrown out!
Vinny Gambini : Hey, Stan, you're in Ala-fuckin'-bama. You come from New York. You killed a good ol' boy. There is no way this is not going to trial!

Stan Rothenstein : [to Gibbons] You're fired!
