- Bruno Bonsignori: [to news reporters rattled by mafia presence] See, that's where we have a problem. You are men of words. You are professionals in this department. The words "widely known" is the problem. Who widely knows? Not a court of law, not a judge or a jury. Some degenerate who gambled away his kid's future told you Vito's a criminal so that makes it widely known? The secretary out there told me you guys are homos. So now, it's widely known you are homos! Can I publish that in a newspaper?
- Reporter: Well, no, I am. He's not...
- Vito Rizzuto: What do you think?
- Declan Gardiner: I think the time for diplomacy is over. No more partnerships. No more handshakes. I think Sal killed your son and Papa, and should have his eyes cut out. But I also think it takes a conspiracy to assassinate a president. I think we should take out every piece of shit that helped Sal. We should take out every other piece of shit that thought about screwing us in any way. I think we clear out anyone we can't see that is with us. I think we should clear the whole goddamn board. Kill 'em all. No one left but us.
- Declan Gardiner: How's your family?
- Bruno Bonsignori: Good. Loud. Expensive. This is a great property. The house is a piece of shit, but what a view. You should build yourself something nice.
- Declan Gardiner: No, I like it just the way it is. Quiet. Nice. Cheap.

- Nicolo Rizutto Sr. - 30 years: These are your plants. I am gonna show you everything you need to know once. Every day this summer, you're gonna take care of this plant, and for every one that dies I'm going to punish you. But for everyone that gives you big, juicy tomatoes, I am gonna kiss you.
- Nicolo Rizutto Sr. - 30 years: Now, sometimes you're gonna do everything right, exactly the way I say, and it's still gonna die. And I'm still gonna punish you. Now, you may not think that's fair, but that's why I do it. It is so that you learn that someday when you are in charge, no matter what happens, there's an accident, someone makes a mistake, it is you who must take responsibility. Your plants, your school, your family, your business. It is all yours. You understand me, Vito?
- Vito Rizzuto - 10 years: Yes, Papa.
