Sal Mineo: Romolo
Quotes
-
Romolo : Got big plans, Rocky. Goin' into business for myself. Gonna buy me a flower stand. You wanna... you wanna invest?.
Rocky : Oh, yeah. How much?
Romolo : A hundred?
Rocky : What? A flower stand for only a hundred bucks?
Romolo : Nah, there's this warehouse over on Avenue "A" with an old grandpop of a night watchman. With a C-note I think maybe I can buy me a heater, pay some slob to point it at the old guy while I make a score inside. Then I'll have enough dough to get me the flower stand.
Rocky : Romolo, you gotta get off this kick. You're gonna wind up with a bullet in your head.
Romolo : What are ya talkin' about?
Rocky : Well, it... it ain't worth it, don't you understand? You can't make any real dough sellin' flowers.
Romolo : So who's gonna sell flowers? That's just the front, Rocky. I'm gonna have me the prettiest, the sweetest smellin' bookie joint in the East side. All I need is a heater and a slob to point it..
Rocky : I don't wanna lose you, can't you understand that. You're gonna get killed if you don't wise up and turn a leaf, you pathetic little jerk!
Romolo : What's the use of turnin' the leaf? Look at you. You tried it, didn't you? They wouldn't let you get away with it. We ain't got a chance guys like us, do we? Do we, Rocky?.
Rocky : [Reluctantly gives him the money] Here.
