Quotes 

• Johnny : You'd be smart to kill me now.

  Senator Roark : [laughs]  I'll do far worse than kill you boy.

• Senator Roark : [poker scene]  I favored your mother, she was a whore, and not a very good one.

  Johnny : She was an angel.

  Johnny : - I'm all in...

  Senator Roark : - Call...

  Senator Roark : [shows: Four Kings] 

  Johnny : [shows: Four Aces] 

  Johnny : See, I told you, I never lose.

  Johnny : I beat you, twice. That means I'm better than you are, and everybody knows it because I beat you again. Every time somebody tells this story - and they'll all say they won't tell it but they will - That's the story that will be told, again and again until you're dead... and after you're dead. I beat you forever.

  Johnny : And they all know what happens when you do.

  Senator Roark : [pulls out gun]  Say hello to your mama. She always was a stupid bitch.

  [shoots Johnny in the center of his forehead]

• Senator Roark : Frankly, between you and me, I've finally accepted that Ethan was not presidential material. I'd have had a hard time buying him an election in an insane asylum. But he was my son, honey. He was my son. And now... he's gonna hear you scream. Scream.

• Johnny : I'm ready for your worst.

  Senator Roark : Boy, you don't even want to dream about my worst.

• Senator Roark : Power is a fragile thing. It tolerates no threat. Defiance must be met with an example of the wages of defiance.

  [thugs maim his hands] 

  Johnny : You'd be smart to kill me now.

  Senator Roark : I'll do far worse than kill you.

• Senator Roark : Power is as power does.
