Quotes 

• Sonny Black : [sees the front page of a newspaper entitled "The Nation mourns", while sitting by the pool]  How can John Wayne die?

  Lefty : Fuckin' Indians got him.

• Sonny Black : [in a bar]  You guys think this funny, I'm a skipper now, I got to answer, fifty grand month, kick up to Rusty, every month, one day I'm going to die and I'm going to be here in the same bar with all the same fucking guys, talking about the same fucking scams, never amount to nothing, cause that's how I'll know I'll be sent to fucking hell

• Sonny Black : You know what we do when we find that rat, right, Lefty?

  Lefty : 'Could be I found him already.

• [Lefty is banging a parking meter very loudly with a hammer, on a table in a bar] 

  Sonny Black : Hey, will you fuckin' stop that?

  Lefty : How am I gonna get this thing open?

  [looks back at the meter] 

  Lefty : Open Sesame!

• Sonny Black : [seeing the club King's Court open for the first time]  I like it. I like it big time!

• Sonny Black : That Santo Trafficante is something else, boy, I'll tell ya

  Donnie Brasco : Is that right? He's a good old guy?

  Sonny Black : Oh, forget about it, that mother fucker had this all to himself for fifty fuckin years and it's still a cow town. It could be like Vegas down here. Forget about Sonny Red and his trucks in Jersey, Florida this is all I want.

  Donnie Brasco : Let me tell you something: Sonny Red's freezing his nuts off right now.

  Sonny Black : [laughs]  that's for sure. All I need is the start up money from Rusty then we all get rich.

  Donnie Brasco : What'd you think? Are we heading back to New York pretty soon or what?

  Sonny Black : Not you, I want you to represent me down here. I want you to be my man in Florida, get that club going, you know King's Court. You didn't think I knew about that did you? I think I'm going to send the lion down here with you and keep that big pussy in the parking lot.

  Donnie Brasco : You know Sonny I really appreciate the offer but I got a lot things going on in New York

  Sonny Black : Lefty's a dynamite guy there's no doubt about it, he looked after me when I was in the can and that's something I don't forget, something I will never ever forget.

  Donnie Brasco : Yeah, he's a stand up guy. He really cares about you too.

  Sonny Black : Yeah, I know he does, but the problem is you think he's helping you but his hurting you. He gets in those two or three whines in you know what I'm saying?

  Donnie Brasco : Yeah I don't want to be stepping on nobody's toes, if it wasn't for lefty...

  Sonny Black : [Interrupts him]  no, that's it, you belong to me now. That's it.
