Lefty: When they send for you, you go in alive, you come
out dead, and it's your best friend that does it.
Lefty: How much money did you give that guy? A wiseguy never
pays for his drinks.
Nicky: C'mon Donnie, let's fillet this fat fuck.
Lefty Ruggiero: Thirty years I'm busting my hump. What have
I got?
Lefty: I'm a spoke on a wheel. I am, and so are you.
Joe Pistone: All my life I've tried to be the good guy,
the guy in the white fucking hat. And for what? For nothing.
I'm not becoming like them; I am them.
FBI Technician: What's "forget about it"? Donnie Brasco:
"Forget about it" is like if you agree with someone, you
know, like "Raquel Welsh is one great piece of ass, forget
about it." But then, if you disagree, like "A Lincoln is
better than a Cadillac? Forget about it!" you know? But
then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in
the world, like mingia those peppers, "forget about it."
But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know,
like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie
says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means forget about
it.
Lefty: I never hear from my boss until he dies, then my
whole life gets turned upside down!
Donnie Brasco: If I come out alive, this guy, Lefty, ends
up dead. That's the same thing as me putting the bullet
in his head myself.
