Quotes 

• Don Salvatore Faranzano : [after Coll gets the drop on Lansky, Siegel and Costello]  ... Kill 'em!

  Mad Dog Coll : Yeah, yeah... How much is it worth?

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : $100,000!

  Mad Dog Coll : You don't like yourself much, do you?

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : $200,000!

  Mad Dog Coll : $500,000. Come on, say it! *Five!*

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : All right, five.

  Mad Dog Coll : Truth is, I like my work. I would've done it for nothing.

• Don Salvatore Faranzano : [as Lucky and Company are preparing to execute him]  ... Why are you doing this? 'Cause I tortured you? 'Cause I set you all up?

  Lucky : No, it's what you did 15 years ago.

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : You want revenge after *fifteen years*?

  Lucky : I've been busy.

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : At least tell me what I did 15 years ago.

  Lucky : ...You destroyed my father!

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : I don't even *remember* your father!

  Lucky : Exactly.

• Don Salvatore Faranzano : [at a dinner party following Don Masseria's assassination]  ... My friends! Honorable men! I welcome you today as your Caesar. The boss of all bosses! To give impartial leadership, I have turned over my interests to other members of my family. In return, I will receive a fair share of the proceeds from all the families across the country. From now on, we will be divided into five families. And the boss from each family will report to me... Mr. Thomas Gagliano; Mr. Joseph Bonanno; Mr. Joseph Profaci; Mr. Vincent Mangano; and Mr. Charles Luciano, who will supervise the entire operation under my direction. Now I ask you to come forward and pay respects, not to me, but to the office I hold.

  [as the others do this, Frank consults Lucky in private] 

  Frank Costello : [to Lucky]  ... Ready for this? Faranzano brought in Mad Dog Coll to ice you.

• Don Salvatore Faranzano : [supposedly, Lucky offers his services to Faranzano as a mole against Don Masseria]  I hope you can appreciate some facts, Charlie. Conditions have changed. Some people have gotten too powerful... I want you to take care of Don Masseria personally, do it yourself. That's not all, though. Lansky and Siegel. I know you've always gotten along, but Jews, they're different. You cross 'em once, fight with 'em once, and they're gone. I know this. I've heard they're a different race... Jews. You and I take Communion. They don't even believe in sin. They'll betray you, just like they betrayed Jesus H. Christ Himself. You join my family, they die. No one will even know you approved.

  Lucky : Looks like I don't have a choice, do I? Either I agree to kill my friends, or you kill me.

  Don Salvatore Faranzano : That's right.

• Don Salvatore Faranzano : [to Papa Luciano, after molesting both him and his wife]  I just felt your balls, so I know why she needs her own.
