Ned Eisenberg: Ariel

Quotes 

• Ariel : You ever heard of the Masada? For two years, 900 Jews held their own against 15,000 Roman soldiers. They chose death before enslavement. The Romans? Where are they now?

  Tony Soprano : You're looking at them, asshole.

• Ariel : See, I sweated blood into this place and he owes me. And, uh, I intend to get what's mine. So please, don't embarrass yourself any further. Just leave.

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : I'm not embarrassed.

  [to Silvio] 

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : You embarrassed?

  Silvio Dante : [shakes head] 

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [slams Ariel's head against the front desk]  Listen to me, you weirdo fuck! You give Shlomo whatever the fuck he wants and you forget this 50% shit. You got nothin' comin' to ya. Nothin'! You understand me? Nothin'!

  Ariel : Fuck you!

  Silvio Dante : Bupkis. Say "bupkis", Paulie.

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : What?

  Silvio Dante : That's how they say "nothin'".

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [grabs desk bell]  Fuck that. This is how I say nothin'.

  [bangs the bell against Ariel's head repeatedly] 

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : How's that for nothin'?

  [continues banging]
