You think I can't play this game?
I don't think you even know the rules.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
You're one nasty prick!
And you're a frightened little boy with nowhere else to go.
[after Richard returns late from his would-be suicidal trip into the woods on Memorial Day]
Where were you today?
Needed to take a walk.
I should've gone with you.
We're both back now.
You up for a job tonight?
[Richard just looks at him]
Is there a problem, Richard?
[haltingly] Would you... fight for me?
[walks over to him; with intensity] Of course I would. Right down to the last bullet.
[near tears] Then let's go to work.
Are you in the habit of toying with women, Mr. Sleater?
I wouldn't call it a habit.
Not every insult requires a response.
It doesn't make a difference if you're right or wrong; you just have to make a decision.
The men talk, the Geisha retires.

You're like an onion, Mr. Thompson, the more we peel.
I prefer to think of myself as an artichoke.
[to Eli, at their father's wake] I'm here for mother, and for Susan.
They're all together now.
Heaven? If such a thing existed, you really think that son of a bitch would be there?
[choking up] Was he that bad, Nucky? Really?
You've obviously forgotten key events from our childhood.
I turned out OK. So did you. Whatever he did, he made us the men we are today.
What's that?
We run this fucking town, Nucky!
We don't run anything, brother. And he can rot in Hell.
That's you, boy, in spades. No capacity for forgiveness.
Grow up, brother, please. And take some responsibility. At long fucking last.

[on killing Horvitz] Before we go any further, you need to tell me if that's a problem.
Maybe, but it's not mine.
Just... show 'em your cunt. [Jimmy looks puzzled] You heard me. Just lift up your skirt and let yourself get fucked!
I know you're not happy, Angela. I know there are things that you think about me that you're afraid to say. I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna get everything settled once and for all. You'll see. I can be the person you want me to be.
[to Margaret] You listen! If you want to punish yourself because your daughter got sick, that's your business, but I will not permit you to sacrifice me!
[After Angela's murder, a traumatized Jimmy sits with Gillian]
There will have to be a funeral, of course. It's important that everything look right. There won't be many people there, anyway. She didn't have a very wide circle, did she? The other one... not a local girl. They're trying to find some family. Not our concern. We'll need to consider Tommy. I told him, "Mommy went away for a few days to paint." That buys us some time. I think, tell me if I'm wrong, we'll say that she went to live with her friends in Paris, and she wants her little boy to stay here, where he'll be safe with his daddy, who works so hard, and his meemaw, who loves him so very much. And, you know what? A month from now - and I don't mean to sound cold - he won't even remember who she was...
[Enraged, Jimmy grabs her by the throat]
I'll remember! I'll remember! I'll remember! I'll remember!
[The Commodore attacks Jimmy, and the two fight]
No!
[Jimmy suddenly stabs the Commodore in the gut. He pulls the knife out and stares at his father, unsure of what to do]
Then finish it, goddamn you! Finish it!
[Jimmy stabs the Commodore in the heart, killing him]
Et tu, Eli?
What?
Shakespeare, Julius Caesar.
There's a character named Eli?
