NICKY: We're supposed to be robbin' this place, you dumb fuckin' hebe!

SAM: Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific, but they worked. When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky? Nicky was the muscle.

SAM: In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all.

SAM: No matter how big a guy was, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat; you beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun; and if you beat him with a gun, you better kill 'em, 'cause he'll be coming back and back, until one of you is dead.

NICKY: Listen to me Anthony. I got your head in a fuckin' vice. I'll squash your head like a fuckin' grapefruit if you don't give me a name.

NICKY: The coppers blamed me for every little thing out here, and I mean every little fuckin' thing. If a guy fuckin' slipped on a fuckin' banana peel, they blamed me.

SAM: Running a casino is like robbing a bank with no cops around.

SAM: In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all.

SAM: Back home, they put me in jail for what I'm doing. Here, they give me awards.

NICKY: If you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fucking head in front of everyone in the bank. And just about the time I get out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. But guess what? I'll crack your fucking head again! 'Cause I'm fucking stupid! I don't give a fuck about jail! That's my business. That's what I do.

CARLITO: You a gangster now. You can't learn it at school... you can't have a late start.

KLEINFELD: Fuck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 fucking times? No, it didn't, I did, so fuck you, fuck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass!

CARLITO: If I ever, I mean if I ever see you here again, you die.

BENNY BLANCO: Maybe you don't remember me...
CARLITO: Maybe I don't remember the last time I blew my nose either!

CARLITO: I'm rejuvenated, rehabilited, reassimilated, and it didn't take no 15 years like your honor said!

CARLITO: You think you like me? You ain't like me motherfucker! I've been with made people, connected people! Who've you been with? Chain snatching, jive talking motherfuckers! Why don't you get out of here and go snatch a purse!

CARLITO: A favor will kill you faster than a bullet.

CARLITO: You think you're big time? You gonna die big time!
