Quotes
-
Vince Rizzo : Did you sleep outside last night?
Vince Jr. : No, no, no. I did heroin with a bunch of prostitutes at the Plaza Hotel. I'm thinking of becoming a pimp.
Vince Rizzo : Good. I'll see you later.

Tony : Can I ask you, like, why I'm chained to a Ford?
Vince Rizzo : I'm gonna unchain you, Tony, but first I gotta tell you something. You see this house here? That's my home. My grandfather built this home and I share it with my family.
Tony : Oh, you got them chained up in the house too?
Vince Rizzo : You're gonna get real nice food and a real nice place to live for the first time in 3 years, so you better behave yourself.
Tony : And all this because you knew my bitch mother?
Vince Rizzo : Well, I gotta admit, you know, Nan could be difficult sometimes. But... she was also...
Tony : A drunk and a whore.
Vince Rizzo : Why do you call her that?
Tony : She used to punish me for not boosting cases of vodka from the liquor store I worked at, by screwing my friends. Which base does 'drunk' and 'whore' not cover?
Vince Rizzo : Don't you have any fond memories of her?
Tony : Well, at least she was around. My father left before I was born.
Vince Rizzo : [pauses] What do you know about him?
Tony : He's dead.
Vince Rizzo : That's too bad.
Tony : Eh, the only thing that's too bad, is I didn't get a chance to visit his deathbed and dance in his ugly face for leaving me with that bitch.
Vince Rizzo : Okay, let's go.

Molly : Well, think about it Vincent. Acting is one of the strangest things a person could possibly choose to do. Pretending to be someone else, who was dreamed up by some third party. It's like agreeing to be a marionette.
Vince Rizzo : Why do you act?
Molly : Really, what other profession could accommodate my sort of behavioral problems?
Vince Rizzo : Yeah, sort of like getting paid for being a professional screw-up.
Molly : [giggles] Perfect.

Vince Rizzo : Me, I was lucky, because God he has a way of busting you when you most need it. And he has a way of giving you a second chance. To amend for your screw ups. Now, I got my second chance.
Vince Rizzo : [presiding over family cook out] Okay, let's eat!

Vince Rizzo : There's so much I wanna tell you. I just could never... I could never find which seems to be the right time.
Joyce Rizzo : I thought you were just sick of me.
Vince Rizzo : Sick of you? No, scared of you maybe a little bit but never sick of you.
