Would you help me, Mr. Thompson? All I want is to provide for my children.
I'd like to help you.
Then tell me what to do. What do you want from me?
I want you to vote Republican.

What'll it be?
CCorrigan
I'll take a whiskey and a statement on the record.
JTJohnny Torrio
[seeing Capone kicking Corrigan] What the fuck's going on?
I'm making a statement.
The split is 80 percent-20 percent, my favor. I supply the product, your people work their magic.
That's a whole lot of magic for 20 percent.
It's the same deal I gave Mickey Cusick.
You know that motherfucker changed his name to Doyle?
I did.
40 percent.
What happened to 30?
I'll charge 10 extra for thinking I'd take the same deal as Mickey.
I didn't know you were so sensitive.
As a baby's ass, motherfucker. [leaves]
[to Eddie] What's motherfucker mean?
I suppose it's a schvartze term.
There's a lot of money in that pot. Do you know how much?
BBuck
Yeah, 20.
22,500. How much mining equipment would you have to sell to make 22,000 bucks, Buck?
BBuck
A lot. Are you in or out?
I'll see your 2, and raise you 5.
BBuck
[after a moment's hesitation] Take it. I was bluffing.
I know. So was I.
I was under the impression that you could do anything.
I'm not God, Gillian.
Now you tell me.
When you were 10 years old, I don't know if you'll even remember this, President Taft came to town, some campaign speech. You were in the crowd. I suppose you were with your dad. But you turned to me and said, "Nuck, what's a fella gotta do to become president?" I said, "well, you gotta study, learn everything you can about the world and do a lot of hard work." And you looked up at me in disbelief and said, "gee, is that all?" I used to think you'd own the world one day.
Where am I supposed to go?
I hear California's nice. Maybe Chaplin needs a foil.

I was born in Elgin, Texas. My daddy taught himself the carpenter trade doing for the black folk there. I tell you, anything that man put his hand to - table, chair, wedding chest - he make that wood sing. Now one day, a man, Mr. T. O. Persall, come 'round. He a white man, own his own store, stable, hotel. He say to my daddy: "I hears you the finest carpenter in Elgin." My daddy tell him: "Well, I can't say one way or the other, but I knows a bit about somethin'." So Mr. T. O. Persall take my daddy to this house he was building. Biggest house in town. They walk in there, say: "This here gon' be the library. What you think 'bout that?" My daddy say: "Well, I think you need some bookcases." "Well then, that's what I want you to make me." 10 months my daddy worked there. And when he finished, he bring me 'round. "Mr. Persall, this here my boy. I'd like to show him what I done." "Well, come on in! Through the front door!" Just like that! And we did. When I see them bookcases, all covered with scroll and flowers, baskets of fruit, little angels floatin' in the corner... that was the most beautiful thing I ever seen. About a month later, another man come 'round. "I see what you did for T. O. Can't let that old dog top me. You come 'round my house, I'll show you what I need." My daddy go with him to the edge of town. Wasn't nothin' there but 6 white men, 12 foot of rope, and the pepper tree they hung him from. [pause, Chalky takes out some carpentry tools] These here my daddy's tools.
GCGrand Cyclops of the KKK
[afraid] What are you gonna do with them?
Well... I ain't buildin' no bookcase...
I'm a friend of James.
His friends call him Jimmy, so who are you really?
I'm a, whatchacallit, an acquaintance. From New York.
That part I suspected. What's your name?
Never mind my name. Is he here or ain't he?
He's not.
Then where is he?
Maybe he's up your ass. Have you considered looking there?
The whole thing's a game isn't it? So easy for you. Well, I'll keep at it. Maybe one day I'll lie as good as you.
It's "lie as well as me", you dolt. You wanna be taken seriously, then learn how to fuckin' speak.
BFBill Fallon
[about the case against Rothstein for fixing the World Series] You get mud on your trousers, or horse shit, you don't rub it off. You let it dry and set awhile, then you brush it off nice and easy.
The World Series was months ago, Lawyer Fallon, and the horse shit hasn't dried yet!
Knock, goddammit!
I did!
Well, knock like a man!
Jesus Christ! The fuck are you doing?
You told me to knock in a manly fashion.
Well leave the door on the hinges!
That stuff you said in front of the boys, bout me in the war; makes me look bad. That ain't how you treat a buddy.
Is that what we are?
What did you think we were?
Accomplices.
It's the same thing right?
