- Vito Lucia the Undertaker: What are you talking about? You're gonna let them know? You can't do this to me, Buddy.

- Toredano the Garage Man: I told you, man, I only work at the garage. I don't know nothin'.
- Toredano the Garage Man: [holds his hands up] Look. Look at my hands. I've been here before. You do what you gotta' do. I didn't talk then... and I ain't talkin' now.

- Lt. Jerry Hanes: Why the hell didn't you tell us? A squad from the Chief Detective's office is investigating stories about undercover police, alleged police, going around kidnapping wiseguys for ransom.
