Quotes 

  • [after Vinny shoots a policewoman] 

    Louie : Jesus, Vinny. You just iced a woman, you know that?

    Vinny : You know what you are, Louie? You're a fuckin' male chauvinist pig.

    Louie : What do you mean, I'm a male chauvinist pig? You just shot a broad.

    Vinny : A cop. I just shot a cop. They wanna be equal? I made her equal.

  • Sonny Valerio : What the fuck is his name?

    Louie : Ghost Dog.

    Sonny Valerio : What?

    Louie : Ghost Dog.

    Sonny Valerio : Ghost Dog?

    Old Consigliere : He said Ghost Dog!

    Louie : Yeah. He calls himself Ghost Dog. I don't know, a lot of these Black guys today, these gangster-type guys, they make up names like that.

    Ray Vargo : Is that true?

    Sonny Valerio : Sure. He means like the rappers, you know, All the rappers, they got names like that: Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Q-Tip, Method Man. My favorite was always Flavor Flav from Public Enemy. You got the funky fresh fly flavor.

    [rhymes hip-hop verse] 

    Ray Vargo : I don't know about that, but it makes me think of Indians. They got name like, uhh, Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Running Bear, Black Elk.

    [makes elk noise] 

    Sonny Valerio : Yeah. That kind of shit.

    Old Consigliere : Yeah. Indians, Niggers, Same thing.

  • Vinny : You know, Louie, there's one good thing about this Ghost Dog guy.

    Louie : What's that, Vin?

    Vinny : He's sending us out the old way. Like real fucking gangsters.

  • Louie : Goddamn it. You fucking shot me in the same exact place as last time!

    Ghost Dog : I'm your retainer. I don't mean you no disrespect. Sorry, I don't want to put too many holes in you.

  • Louie : Jesus Christ. You just shot Morini. He was Valerio's fucking brother-in-law.

    Ghost Dog : He had a gun. He was going to shoot you.

    Louie : What?

    Ghost Dog : See if he's dead.

    Louie : Well, I don't think he's getting any older.

  • Louise Vargo : This is my book.

    Louie : No, it isn't. I got it off from the dead guy, Ghost Dog.

    Louise Vargo : It takes place in feudal Japan.

    [Louie is surprised and speechless] 

    Louise Vargo : It's a really good book. You should read it.

  • Ghost Dog : Everything around us seems to be changing, huh, Louie?

    Louie : You can say that again.

  • [interviewing Louie for information about Ghost Dog] 

    Sonny Valerio : Where's he live?

    Louie : Fuck, if I know. That's the next strange thing. I mean, I can't just call him up. Instead, he contacts me every day through a bird.

    [pause] 

    Sonny Valerio : Did you just say he contacts you through a bird? Did I just hear you say that?

  • Louie : Nothing seems to make sense anymore.

  • Ray Vargo : Did you try to follow the bird? Put a bug on it? Anything like that?

    Louie : No, I never had a reason to do anything like that. Like I said I realize that the arrangement I made with this guy is pretty weird, but he's always shown me complete respect.

    Sonny Valerio : Well, a whole new century is coming, Louie, and Mr. Vargo wants every member of his family to make a priority to erase this weirdo.

    Louie : This guy is a professional. Go after him can be very dangerous.

    Sonny Valerio : Handsome Frank was one of us so now we're gonna peel this nigger cap back. Better him than you, right Louie?

  • Louie : For the past four years, he's done, maybe, twelve perfect contracts. Perfect, Like a ghost.

  • Johnny Morini : I'm sorry we're late, Mr. Vargo. Sonny! Mr. Bonaccelli here was delayed on his way over.

    Sonny Valerio : Sit down. Johnny, why don't you step outside, have yourself a smoke?

    Johnny Morini : Sure, Sonny. Mr. Vargo!

    [Leaves] 

    Sonny Valerio : We got a really big problem here, Louie. It seems like you're directly responsible for it. Your mystery man fucked up.

    Louie : But Morini told me he put the girl... Mr. Vargo's daughter on the bus.

    Sonny Valerio : He did, but she got off the bus and went to Handsome Frank's house.

    Louie : You wanted Handsome Frank whacked. So he got whacked. From outside. I set it all up, no traces, no nothing. Morini said that she was on the bus, but, Jesus, I mean he's lucky he didn't do her too, right?

    Ray Vargo : If he had, you would be fucking dead.

    Sonny Valerio : This is not a good situation, Louie.

    Louie : Where is she now? I mean, is she all right?

    Sonny Valerio : Don't worry about Mr. Vargo's daughter. What we need to do is eliminate the scumbag who whacked Frank. Frank was one of us. His killer needs to be neutralized. Erased from the face of the planet.

    Louie : For the past four years this guy's done, maybe, twelve perfect contracts. Perfect. Like a ghost. He's very valuable, he's totally untraceable. I'm sure he didn't realize anyone was gonna be there when he did Handsome Frank, or he would've backed off. He sure as hell didn't know that she was gonna be there.

    Sonny Valerio : Louie, unless you wanna be buried next to Frank, now is the time to tell us everything you know about this mysterious, ghost-like, untraceable, fuckin' button man.

  • Louie : It's a pigeon. It must be a carrier pigeon or whatever.

    Old Consigliere : Passenger pigeon! They've been extinct since 1914!

    Sonny Valerio : Am I fucking dreaming here or what? All right, Louie, forget about the bird, okay?
