    You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! And that's how you get Capone

    Never stop, never stop fighting till the fight is done

    I want you to get this *beep* where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna p*** ON HIS ASHES!

    Mean Streets (1973)

    Notable Lines:

    You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is *beep* and you know it

    I'm gonna PAYUUUUUUUUUM!

    You know what the Queen said? If I had balls, I'd be King

    I *beep* you right where you breathe

    I borrow money all over this neighborhood, left and right from everybody, I never pay them back. So, I can't borrow no money from nobody no more, right?

    The Departed (2006)

    Notable Lines:

    When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?

    Casino (1995)

    Notable Lines:

    No matter how big a guy might be, 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 him, because he'll keep comin' back and back until one of you is dead

    Listen to me very carefully. There are three ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way that *I* do it. You understand?

    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

    This guy could *beep* up a cup of coffee

    Donnie Brasco (1997)

    Notable Lines:

    Fuggedaboutit

    When I introduce you, I'm gonna say, "This is a friend of mine." That means you're a connected guy. Now if I said instead, this is a friend of ours that would mean you a made guy. A Capiche?

    When they send for you, you go in alive, you come out dead, and it's your best friend that does it

    A wise guy's always right; even when he's wrong, he's right

    And listen to me, if Donnie calls... , tell him... if it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him. All right?

    Yes Rowntree Yes Grosvenor! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

    But quite frankly your attitude appalls me. It's not what you're saying. It's all this stuff you're not saying. Insinnuendos

    Where there's a will - and there is a *beep* will - there's a way - and there is a *beep* way

    This is madness, I’ve had enough of this “Crime and Punishment” b*******. I’m happy here

    Told you I'm never going back...

    I say what I mean, and I do what I say

    Who? Who? What are you, a *beep* owl?

    Notable Lines:

    Yeah, I had a dream Charlie. But now I'm awake

    Notable Lines:

    You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!

    Every dog has his day

    You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

    The only thing in this world that gives orders... is balls

    In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women
