Nicky Santoro: A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right.

And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fucking night.(Casino)

how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life
in one moment. There are no cold answers, are there? There's no simple

the stuff that lays between, the stuff... the stuff you can't see.

say that everyday you had an apple. An apple, an apple and more apples.

Vincent: You know, we are sitting
here like a couple of regular fellows and if I have to go out there and
put you down, I'll tell you, I won't like it. But if it's between you and
some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, buddy, you
are going down.
Neil: There is a flip side
to this coin. What if you do get me boxed in and I will have to put you
down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face
to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate, not for a second.
