No One Stays At The Top Forever (taglines)

Sam "Ace" Rothstein

• When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point?
• [About Nicky]: No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he’ll keep comin’ back and back until one of you is dead.
• In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing, and keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose. In the end, we get it all.

Nicky Santoro

• I think in all fairness I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance, tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early take a walk down over to the bank and walk in and see you and um, if you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fuckin' head wide open in front of everybody at the bank. And just about the time that I'm coming out of jail, hopefully you'll be coming out of your coma and guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again 'cuz i'm fuckin' stupid, I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do.
• You put my money to sleep, [and] I'll put your fuckin' brain to sleep!
• Listen to me, Anthony. I got your head in a fuckin' vise. I'll squash your fuckin' head like a grapefruit, if you don't give me a name.
• You know I'm tryin' to put somethin' really big together out here. You know what I'm talkin' about, huh? You know! If you're actin' like this now, how can I depend on you?
• You know, I don't wanna bring this up but you've been treating a lot of people with a lot of disrespect, even your own wife.
• [Talking to Sam at the Nevada desert] You said I'm bringin' heat on you?! I gotta listen to people because of your fuckin' shit?! You're ordering me out?? You'd better get your own fuckin' army, pal! You're fuckin' warned don't ever go over my fuckin' head again, you motherfucker you!
• Peek-a-boo, you fucks you!
• You shit-kicking, stinky horse-manure smelling motherfucker you!
• I used to send Marino back home with a piece of what I made. Not a big piece, but what did they know? They were 1500 miles away, and I don't know anyone who can see that far.
• Now, on top of everything else, I gotta make sure no one fucks around with the Golden Jew.
• [To Sam]You Motherfucker you!!
