• [Johnny C is working as a bartender in a drag club. John comes to see him] 

  Johnny C : I got one question: was it your idea to hook me up with the Village People here?

  John : Well, you're safe, aren't you?

  Johnny C : Well, from the mob, yeah. I mean no self-respecting wiseguy would ever be caught dead in a joint like this. Only... do me one favor. Don't let it out that I'm straight, all right? I don't wanna break any hearts or nothing.

  John : Trust me.

• John : Do you remember when you told me that if I ever needed anything, I could come to you?

  Johnny C : Yes.

  John : Well, I need your help.

  Johnny C : Wait, you want my help?

  John : Yes... right now.

  Johnny C : You got it!

  [to the bartender] 

  Johnny C : Evan! Look, cover me at the bar for a few seconds. I gotta go home and help out a friend here.

  Evan the Bartender : [looking at John]  Who is he? He looks rough!

  Johnny C : Please, don't start. It's not what you think.

  John : I'm sorry, do you two need a moment alone?

  Johnny C : We're fine, thanks.

  John : Just an idea.

  Johnny C : Evan here just... worries about me. He and I...

  [John smirks at Johnny insinuating what it means] 

  Johnny C : Don't ask!

• Sal : We heard you got whacked.

  Johnny C : Yeah, must have been some other guy.

  Tony Two Toes : Yeah? Was it some other guy who ratted out Vincenzo Canelli?

  Johnny C : Hey, Canelli's a piece of shit.

  Tony Two Toes : I got no love for Canelli, either. But you crossed the line, Johnny.

  Johnny C : Hey, I'm still here.

  Tony Two Toes : Nah, that don't matter. What you did was wrong, John.

  John : [entering]  No, what he did got a drug dealer and his poison off the streets.

  Tony Two Toes : Whose da tree trunk?

• [after killing the thugs sent to murder Johnny C, John arranges their bodies on the lawn of his house, shoots them with a silenced pistol, then puts the guns in their hands] 

  John : They killed you, then they turned on each other.

  Johnny C : Right. Those sons of bitches...

• Sal : [referring to a sniper perched atop a crane]  You think I can hit that guy from here?

  Johnny C : Give it a rest, Sal. You couldn't hit the ground even if you fell on it.

• Nurse : Oh my God! Terrorists!

  Johnny C : Terror? I'll show you some freakin' terror! Get your ass up here, I'll jump-start it!

• Johnny C : You want me to help you break into Cyrez?

  John : Yeah.

  Johnny C : What, are you shitting me? When you said you needed my help, I thought you wanted me to help you move a sofa or something.

  John : Pull over, up ahead.

  Johnny C : Alright, I'm gonna help you out here... All we are gonna need is some tanks, a couple of rocket launchers, and a set of balls like, uh... the King of Bayonne.

• Tony Two Toes : [counting the union rep payee envelopes]  Hey, Mikey. You're one payment short.

  Mikey : Oh, that's Louis. He didn't pay.

  Tony Two Toes : He didn't pay? Why?

  Mikey : He needed a few extra days to come up with the money, so I told him it was okay.

  Tony Two Toes : You going soft on me, Mikey? What exactly did he say?

  Johnny C : He said, "Tell that fat fuck, Tony Two Toes, I ain't payin' another dime!"

  Tony Two Toes : I know that voice... but it can't be him, unless he's a ghost.

  Johnny C : [walks into room]  Boo.

• Johnny C : [while Posing as a Pizza Delivery guy and being pinned to the wall by Cyrez Guards]  Hey! I've got a bad heart, but a very good lawyer!
