Quotes 

• Goody DeSalvo : Since you got money, you only go out with beautiful women who treat you like dirt.

  Vic De Salvo : It's a step up. Before I had money, I went out with ugly women who treated me like dirt.

  Goody DeSalvo : What you need is a nice girl who likes you for yourself.

  Vic De Salvo : That's not my type.

• Bruno : Hey, Boss, you got a good broad here.

  Vic De Salvo : Bruno, didn't you have your consciousness raised by the women's movement? You're not supposed to say 'broad' in front of them.

• Tony : Let me get this straight, Vic. You want me and my truckers to break and enter the homes of innocent people... and help you perpetuate this fraud?

  Vic De Salvo : Yeah.

  Tony : I got no problem with that.

• Vic De Salvo : I don't remember any Francine Kester on the invite list, do you, Skip?

  Skip : Please, I have no knowledge of this woman.

  Francine Kester : You don't look like you've had knowledge of any woman.

• Francine Kester : What a place you've got here.

  Vic De Salvo : Yeah.

  Francine Kester : You're not an Arab, so you must be a drug dealer.

• Vic De Salvo : I didn't make a move on you for four days. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

• Vic De Salvo : In trucking, I only had to deal with thugs, hitmen and goons. But these network guys are scary.

• Vic De Salvo : Boys, I'm offering all of you a piece of the biggest money-making racket in America today.

  Tony : Drugs?

  Sid : Hookers?

  Tony : Car insurance?

  Vic De Salvo : No, television! Where a minute of advertising costs a hundred thousand dollars... and a ratings point is worth forty million to a network.

• Francine Kester : I guess that girl tonight hurt you pretty bad.

  Vic De Salvo : Nah, that was one of my healthier relationships. At least she didn't torch my warehouse. Some of them get vicious.
