The Best of Robert De Niro

"Now I see this clearly. My whole life is pointed in one direction. There never has been a choice for me."

Michael Vronsky
"Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is this. From now on, you're on your own."

James Conway
"I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut."

Jake La Motta
"You didn't get me down, Ray."

Vito Corleone
"Do me this favor. I won't forget it. Ask your friends in the neighborhood about me. They'll tell you I know how to return a favor."

Neil McCauley
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Rupert Pupkin
"Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

Louis Gara
"Fuck you and your chill pill!"

Sam 'Ace' Rothstein
"Listen to me very carefully. There are three ways of doing things around here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way that *I* do it. You understand?"

Max Cady
"It's not necessary to lay a foul tongue on me my friend. I could get upset. Things could get out of hand. Then in self defense, I could do something to you that you would not like, right here."

Frank Sheeran
"Whatever you need me to do, I'm available."

Johnny Boy
"What's the matter, you too good for this ten dollars? Huh? You too good for it? It's a good ten dollars. Know somethin' Mikey? You make me laugh. You know that?"

Conrad Brean
"What difference does it make if it's true? If it's a story and it breaks, they're gonna run with it."

Al Capone
"I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!"

Sam
"Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach you."
