- Quotes
Josto Fadda: [visiting Loy's men in jail] You know why America loves a crime story? Because America is a crime story. But here's the rub. When we hear a crime story, who do we root for? Not the poor sap that got taken, the victim. No. We root for the taker, the guy with the gat.
[mimes shooting the men with a machine gun]
Josto Fadda: See, this country loves a man who takes what he wants. Unless... Unless that man looks like you. Capisce? See, Johnny Society looks at me, they see a fella that's using crime to get ahead. But you? All they see is crime. And that's why you're gonna lose. 'Cause I can take all the money and pussy I want and still run for president. But you? It's always gonna be the rope.
[beat]
Josto Fadda: Tell him it's time to surrender.
