[at Cartel party] An American named Joseph Kennedy made his fortune selling bootlegged liquor, but he turned that money into legitimacy. His children, great politicians. And one of them was even elected president. Yes, gentlemen, we have been negotiating with the authorities, and soon we will reach an agreement.

[The Cali Cartel has a feast upon learning of Pablo Escobar's death]
All right gentlemen, gentlemen. In the history of every business, there are decisive moments. The first sale, the first million, the first billion and when your rival no longer exists... [makes dismissive wave of the hand] The important thing in these moments isn't how one reacts but how well has one prepared for them. Gentlemen, I have to tell you, we are ready. And we won't be needing kidnappers or bombs to succeed. We will do it covertly, and when they turn to see what happened, we'll no longer be there.
No sir!
Cheers!! [everybody toasts]
Never, in human history, have two brothers accomplished what we have.
We aren't the first people in history to build an empire, Gilberto.
But we're the first to retire leaving the empire intact.
