Frankie Taglialucci: This guy a friend of yours?
Carlito: Yeah, he's a friend of mine.
Frankie Taglialucci: He's a fucking cockroach.
Carlito: No room in this city for big hearts like hers.
Carlito: I don't invite this shit, it just comes to me. I run, it runs after me. Gotta be somewhere to hide.
Carlito: The dream don't come no closer by itself. We gotta run after it now.
Mayor John Pappas: You got the stuff, pappy. I love that.
Mayor John Pappas: You want an answer? Okay, pappy, think of it as colors. There's black, and there's white, and in between is mostly gray. That's us. Now gray is a tough color, because it's not as simple as black and white - and for the media, certainly not as interesting. But... it's what we are.
Frank Anselmo: Your boy embarrassed me.
Mayor John Pappas: You're gonna have to live with it.
Frank Anselmo: Why?
Mayor John Pappas: Because he's my boy.
Mayor John Pappas: Lyndon Johnson said, "Everybody will give you ideas on how to get out of trouble cheaply and fast. And they all come down to this: deny your responsibility." John F. Kennedy said, "An error doesn't have to become a mistake, until you refuse to correct it."
Danny Collins: Hank, I haven't written a song in thirty years. thirty years. I'm a fucking joke.

Danny Collins: Some dinners are worth fighting for.
John Milton: So... have we been treating you well?

John Milton: That's our secret. Kill you with kindness.
Kevin Lomax: What are you?
John Milton: Oh, I have so many names.
Kevin Lomax: Satan.
John Milton: Call me Dad.
John Milton: Law is the ultimate backstage pass. There are now more students in law schools than lawyers walking the streets.
John Milton: I'm the hand up Mona Lisa's skirt. I'm a surprise, Kevin. They don't see me coming: that's what you're missing.
John Milton: Lawyers are the devil's ministry.
John Milton: Who, in their right mind Kevin, could possibly deny the twentieth century was entirely mine.
John Milton: Are we negotiating?
Kevin Lomax: Always.
John Milton: Freedom, baby... is never having to say you're sorry.
Kevin Lomax: In the Bible you lose. We're destined to lose dad.
John Milton: Well consider the source son.
