• Anthony Rossano : I'll make you a deal, Mr. P.

  Snaps : What kind of a deal?

  Anthony Rossano : Well, I've become attached to those jewels; they remind me of Theresa. I'd like to buy them back from you for $50,000.

  Snaps : Now where'd you come up with another 50,000 smackers?

  Anthony Rossano : I stole it from you.

  Snaps : Connie!

  Connie : [Connie enters the room]  What is it, boss?

  Connie : [Snaps takes what he thinks is a gun, but is actually a leg and thigh of chicken]  You took my gun.

  Snaps : [Connie leaves the room]  Now you're trying to tell me you stole another 50,000 clams since the last time I saw you?

  Anthony Rossano : Remember that dummy corporation I set up for you to hide your protection income?

  Anthony Rossano : Remember who you made treasurer as a beard?

  Snaps : You didn't!

  Anthony Rossano : I just wrote out a check to myself. As treasurer, the bank asked me no questions.

  Snaps : Only a rat would steal another guy's extortion money.

  Anthony Rossano : Here's my offer: You give me back the jewels that are rightfully mine, and I'll give you back the money, which isn't.

  Snaps : All right, I guess you outsmarted me. You give me that money, and I'll give you these jewels.
