[Joining Nucky on the porch outside a Klansman's funeral] An awful waste of a lot of good tablecloths.
The laundry bills alone..

Ask the man inside of you this: When you come face to face with destiny, do you want to be the bear or do you want to be the one holding the shotgun?
I won't pretend you're inclined to be warm to me. I wouldn't insult you like that, cuz before anything else, I have great respect for you, your wisdom, your achievements.
You're better spoken than I expected.
We never really talked before.
You and Charlie are acquainted?
We have someone in common [Lucky slept with James' mother and tried to murder him].
You hear, Charlie? Discretion. Charlie volunteered to absent himself from this meeting. He felt his presence might be disruptive, but I counseled what?
Never let the past get in the way of the future.
We are all learning, Mr. Rothstein.
And what can I learn from you, Mr. Darmody?
That things are changing in Atlantic City. If you're in the market for quality liquor coming in off the beaches at a reasonable price and in good supply, I can get it for you.
You personally?
Me. My associates. I'm expanding my business and you are precisely the type of discerning customer I'm looking for.
And Nucky Thompson?
Nucky's like a father to me.
I have a father. Barely said hello in 5 years.
Sorry to hear it.
Who are you, Mr. Darmody?
Pardon?
Y-Y-You show up well dressed with a suit cravat and a bold proposal. A year ago you were a brigand in the woods. Who are you?
I'm a businessman, a veteran, I just got married.
Congratulations.
I have a son. He's almost 4.
Cart before the horse?
Do you have kids, Mr. Rothstein?
No, but I'm told they often say unexpected and amusing things. I appreciate you coming to me. I applaud your audacity. And I give you my word that your offer remains in this room.
What does that mean?
I'll show you out.
[to Nucky] You are smarter than your enemies and you will persevere, but you aren't thinking clearly now. You must concentrate and not give over to emotion.
LCLeander Cephas Whitlock
[Toasting Eli] Propinate nobis similibusque. [Translation: "Here's to us and those like us - damn few left]
I keep my promises, James, and I'll make you one now: I will ruin you, all of you.
How's Torrio handling the competition?
We're killing them.
You've got your friends on the Coast Guard to thank for that three ship's worth of booze: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Canadian Club.
MHManny Horvitz
We got a deal, but just so we're clear, my ice box is filled with pieces of fellas who tried to fuck me over.
[unmoved] I just got creamsicles in mine.
You think I can't play this game?
I don't think you even know the rules.
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.
