[edit] John Gotti

  • Jojo walks into the bar. He's wearin' a solid gold belt buckle this big: says Jojo on it, he's got a braclet on his arm: says Jojo on it, he's got a fuckin' necklace: says Jojo on it, he's got solid gold cuff links: they all say Jojo on 'em. So this little chink waiter walks over and says, "Excuse me mister Jojo." He said, "Shut the fuck up, I don't want anyone to know I'm here."
John Gotti: Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And I think of Neil; and If he would sit here right now what`d he say to me? He`d say "John! what's it about? What's life about... if you don't go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. That made you who you are. That makes you what you are. How long we`ve been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years... i mean whats it about? Its about the rules, perimeters. You take the beating for a friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are... what you are.
Frank Locascio: Self Esteem...
John Gotti: Self Esteem is basic. You pick it up on the street, there goes for the street, you gotta remember Angie here. I loved this guy, I loved him and he was stupid, he never listened to me, he was one of those god damn dope money... He never rolled, ya know that? HE NEVER ROLLED! My brother Gene, Joey DiMig, they're doing a thousand years now, they don`t role, they don`t rat. Why? Thats the rule. You don't break, you don't rat. Basic rules. Gives you a bit of power huh? Not the kind of power these FEDs have. God forbid,right, God forbid we pull their chain in public. Fuckin dress better than them and they take it personal likes its a fuckin vendetta. There supposed to act better than the rest of us. They just wanted me to be something I wasn't even born to be.
Frank Locascio: Humble, they wanted you to be humble.
John Gotti: Yeah so you humble me. What you got now? You got a war. You got a global war. You got the Chinks, you got the Dominicans, the Asians, the Russians, the Columbians, Jamaicans. What they doin? They desecrate the nation. You got your variable fuckin' snowstorms of cocaine, smack -- whatever the hell else they shove in their veins. You got a worldwide crime syndicate now. There's no rules. There's no parameters. There's no feelings. There's no feelings for this country.
Frank Locascio: Anarchy.
John Gotti: You got anarchy. So... 5-10 years from now, they gonna wish there was an American Cosa Nostra. 5-10 years from now, they gonna miss John Gotti.

Whatd`ya got now? you got Sammy...what`s he doin` with his life? Where`s he goin`? You know the FED`s...they see the guy, they always smell at the guy with no parameters, the move right in you know; this whole RICO statue bullshit is designed for the RATS by the RATS. You show me that Wall Street bum, he stole billions from the country...walked outta that god damn courtroom with billions in his back pockets. Frankie you show me that bum in that chemical company, in one fucking day this fuck he kills five thousand innocent ppl. in an instant...Did he do his instance? You show me any important thief in today`s business world, who denied his council of choice...and they fire my lawyer?!?! IS this America? We`re fools...you know why? cuz we did it! we let Sammy in... we let Sammy in Frankie into something that`s called "A thing of ours" And you know what? on my mother I say this...let Sammy have his million, let him have his witness protection cuz everyday he`ll still gonna wake up as rat...staring at him in the mirror...he`s gonna have nothing...and I`ll sit right here...still with me...there`s gonna be a Cosa Nostra...`TILL I DIE!!!!!!
