Ace : You got two choices. You leave quietly, we take the body. Or, you can stay, we beat the shit out of you, we take the body.

Eyeball : [about Ray Brower] Shit! When they gonna give up? The kid's gone. They ain't never gonna find him.
Charlie Hogan : Not where they're looking.
Billy Tessio : Hey, Eyeball's right, Charlie. They ain't never gonna find him.
Eyeball : [Finishes the tattoo on Billy's shoulder with a knife blade] Would you hold still? You're making me fuck up the snake part.
Vince Desjardins : I'll tell you how they're gonna find him. Ten years from now, some hunter's gonna go in the woods to take a leak, wind up pissing on his bones.
Charlie Hogan : I bet you a thousand bucks they'll find him before then.
Eyeball : Bet you two thousand dollars they don't.
Charlie Hogan : Well, asshole...
Billy Tessio : Hey, what's the big deal? Who cares?
Ace : Will you two just shut the fuck up? If either of you assholes had two-thousand dollars, I'd kill you both.

Eyeball : Hey girls, where ya goin'?
Gordie : [Ace passes Gordie on the sidewalk and snatches his baseball cap off his head] Hey, my brother gave me that!
Ace : [holds the hat up high so Gordie can't reach it] Now, you're giving it to me.
Gordie : Hey! C'mon, man! That's mine!
Chris : [glaring at Ace] You're a real asshole, you know that?
Ace : [flicks his cigarette to that ground] Ooo. You're brother's not very polite, Eyeball.
Eyeball : Now, Christopher. I know you didn't mean to insult my friend.
Ace : I know he didn't mean to insult me. That's why I'm going to give him the chance of taking it back.
Ace : [thrusts Chris on his stomach against the sidewalk and begins holding the lit cigarette close to his eye] Take it back, kid.
Chris : You bastard! Let go, man! Shit!
Gordie : Stop it, man! You're hurting him!
Chris : Filthy bastard...! Okay, I take it back! I take it back!
Ace : Now, I feel a whole let better about this. How 'bout you?
[Gordie stares at him angrily]
Ace : [grins at Chris and pats him on the cheek]
Ace : Good.
Eyeball : See ya later, girls.

Eyeball : [Eyeball is giving Billy a tattoo on his shoulder] So, uh, what's with you and this Connie Palermo chick?
Billy Tessio : Ah, I've been seeing her for over a month now and all she'll let me do is feel her tits.
Ace : [about the girl Billy was referring to] She's a Catholic, man. They're all like that. If you wanna get laid, you gotta get yourself a Protestant. -A Jew's good.

Billy Tessio : [about to get in Ace's car to find Ray Brower's body] Hey, Ace, uh... maybe me and Charlie shouldn't go.
Charlie Hogan : Yeah, maybe you guys could go without us.
Ace : [sighs] You guys are like my grandmother having a conniption fit. I don't see your problem. We brought a whole bunch of fishing gear, and if a cop asks us what we're doing here, we're just here to take a couple steelhead out of the river, and look what we found!
Vince Desjardins : Yeah! Come on, man, we're gonna be famous! We're gonna be on every radio and TV show in the country!
Charlie Hogan : I still don't think we should go.
Ace : [Being cool] Okay... okay... you've stated your position clearly. Now I'm gonna state mine:
[to the others firmly]
Ace : get in the fucking car, now!

The Writer : [voiceover] Around this time, Charlie and Billy were playing "Mailbox Baseball" with Ace and Eyeball.
[cuts to Ace hitting mailboxes with a bat in a moving car]
Ace : [Ace hits a wooden mailbox] Ahh shit! I'm out! Goddammit!
Eyeball : You shouldn't have gone for a wooden one. Huh-huh!
Ace : [Stares at Eyeball intensely] Why don't you tell me something I don't know, asshole?
[Hands bat to Billy]
Ace : Billy, you're up.
Billy Tessio : Nah, you guys win. I don't wanna play no more.
Eyeball : Hey, you can't quit! We've only played three innings! That would be a non-official game!
Charlie Hogan : Hey, Ace. Uh, we...
[Billy nudges him in the arm]
Ace : What's with you homos? You guys've been acting psycho all day.
[Long pause]
Ace : What is it?
Billy Tessio : It's nothin'! It's nothin'! It's nothin', right?
[Looks over at Charlie who concurs]
Ace : Then, if you gentlemen don't mind, I'd like to finish this game before I start collecting my goddamn Social Security, okay? You're up Billy. Move it!
Billy Tessio : All right! Gimme this fuckin' thing.
[grabs bat and assumes batter's position]
Ace : Let's play ball!
Eyeball : Yeah!

Ace : You wasn't planning on taking the body from us, were you, boys?
Chris : You get away. We found him. We got dibs.
Ace : [Sarcastically] We better start running, eyeball. They got dibs.
Chris : We earned him. You guys came in a car. That's not fair. He's ours.
Eyeball : [Mocking Chris] That's not fair. He's ours.
[Normal voice]
Eyeball : Well, not anymore
Teddy : The four of us, eyeball. You just make your move.
