Franco: Jesus Christ, Jerry. Shit. I mean, there's no other way?
Lou: You know, you just don't get it, Franco.
Sean: No, you're damn right we don't, Lou. I mean, come on.

Sean: Okay, so if I get a little older, a little sick, I should just kill myself? Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Watching us run into jobs while he stood outside, but he did it. You know why? So he could teach assholes like, (points to Sean and Franco) you and you what the job was really about. When he was working up in the Bronx, when the Bronx was burning, huh? You ever hear about those days, huh? They'd get 10, 12, 14 jobs a night! Shithead. He ran into a job up on 279th street, he pulled three kids in wheelchairs out in some

Lou: I love you Teresa. You're really important to me, you know, but the way things have been going... I mean, anything that we do with our clothes on, it-- it just feels like filler until we get into bed. ... Or into the shower, or on top of the kitchen table, or... in the alley behind the building. I just-- I think we owe it to each other to put the sex on hold, and lets see what we really have. And to safeguard against the very real possibility that without a breather, my dick's gonna snap off like a twig.
Teresa: I love you, too, honey.

Mickey: [on the phone] So, I saw the baby fire in the news.
Tommy: Jesus Christ. The baby fire? They're still callin' it the baby fire, I guess. You know, why don't they call it the '16 appliances plugged into one wall socket fire', how about that, huh?
Mickey: Yeah, I know, Tom. I'm just sayin' what they're sayin.
Tommy: Or how about 'God doesn't really give a shit about poor black kid's fire', how about that name, huh? It's unbelievible to me, it really is. What was God thinkin' here, Mick? What do you think? What did he have in mind?
Mickey: We don't know. Maybe he was showin' his mercy, maybe he was savin' these kids from a fate far worse down the line somewhere. Either way, it's out of our hands.
Tommy: Well, lemme tell 'ya somethin', okay? We carried those goddamn kids out in our goddamn hands because their moron parents plugged in faulty space heaters because they were tryin' to keep warm, 'cause their shit-ass landlords were too cheap to keep the goddamn heat on. God had nothin' to do with it, okay? God doesn't even venture into the equation, okay? But according to your theory, I guess God had Connor run over by a drunk driver, why? So he can spare him the fate, of maybe having cancer of the ass when he was 42 years old? Is that what's goin' on, Mick?
Mickey: Or maybe because of his DNA he becomes a raging alcoholic and gets behind the wheel with a load on and runs over somebody else's innocent kid 15 years from now. Maybe that's what's happenin'. Did you ever think of that, huh? Tom? ... Tom?
Tommy: Yeah. Nobody knows nothin', Mick. Not until it happens.

Tommy: [to Mike] You gotta look on the bright side. At least your mom died before you did, y'know, that's a natural course of events, y'know. Know what I'm sayin'? Parents are supposed to die before their kids, that was one of the things that was so screwed up about 9/11, y'know? All these guys... doin' the right thing, and dyin', parents havin' to bury 'em. It's not right. Besides, I'm sure your mom was a pain in the ass half the time anyways, half the time she probably called 'ya, you probably looked at your phone, and left it to go to voice mail, right? Because you didn't wanna talk to her. ... As much as I love my wife, same thing, man. Sometimes, y'know, we separate, arrange a schedule so y'know, we didn't have to see each other, except in passing at a couple weeks at a time, and then you see 'em for a coupla hours and you start to get all those great feelings back... and a couple days later, you hate 'em again. But at least she died before you did, 'cause I'll tell 'ya what, there's nothin' worse than burying your kid. I did it, y'know? ... I remember after 9/11, when the found Jimmy, what was it like, 3 weeks later? They-- they pulled his body out, after the funeral we were havin' a party or whatever, and my Aunt Bridy, his mother was havin' a rough time, and my cousin Norrine, his sister was tryin' to help her along, and she said y'know, ma the only thing that's gonna help this go away is time. I'll never forget when my Aunt Bridy said, she said 'I'm 77 years old, I don't have enough time.' It's the truth. I could live to be 106, I'm not gonna get over Connor. And he was a real pain in the ass that morning, he was ridin' that bike, in between cars, I was tryin' to fix the truck... but I got two healthy kids... and of all I've said about my wife, she's been a great mother, y'know? There's a lot to be said for that, y'know? A lot.

Teddy: So, what are you people tryin' to say?
Tommy: You gotta get off the sauce, Teddy. You gotta quit drinkin'.
Teddy: This is comin' from you? Look at this place, look at your life! Does being sober make your life any easier?
Tommy: Not really, but--
Teddy: Well, there you go.
Tommy: Hey, it's a process. It's a one day at a time type of thing. You do one day at a time, then two days, then turn days into weeks, and weeks into months, and gradually, slowly, it goes from being shitty, to being good, to eventually, being uh... great, right?
Mickey: Right, great.
Eddie: So, what do you say, Teddy, you gonna get some help?
Teddy: Uh, no.

Eddie: Teddy doesn't wanna go to rehab, but he does wanna get better. Mick, you still gonna take him to meetings?
Mickey: Yeah, sure.
Maggie: I mean, shit, we got enough drunks in this room, to start our own meetings.
Tommy: That's not a bad idea.
Mickey: There's no reason we can't.
Tommy: No, right?
Mickey: Sure.
Eddie: I'm not a drunk. [Maggie laughs]
Tommy: Yeah, okay. We could do it Monday, Wednesday...
Eddie: Except I'm not a drunk!
John Sr.: This from a guy who drank a bottle of brandy, and drove his car into his laundromat.
Eddie: Hey, that was three years ago, and it was snowing.
Tommy: Yeah, it was the weather.
Mickey: Yeah, sure.

John Sr.: As far as I'm concerned, God was your mother. The way she raised you kids, the love she showed you. The way she helped you overcome all the stuff that scared the shit outta 'ya. The height thing, the bee thing, your mother was a saint.
Tommy: What heights thing? I'm not afraid of heights. What are you talkin' about? I'm a goddamn fireman for Christ's sake, I'm up on the ladder, up in the bucket every other goddamn day.
John Sr.: No, not now, thanks to her. Christ, she couldn't even put you in a highchair. But she cured 'ya, she took you up on the roof, held you over the side, and tickled you with her nose, the next thing you know, you were begging her to throw you up in the air.
Tommy: What was the bee thing?
John Sr.: You're deathly afraid of them. You used to wear a wool hat in the summer so they wouldn't bite you on the head. I don't think you ever got over that. There's one now.
Tommy: [startles and looks around] Where?
John Sr.: [laughs] Gotcha.

Tommy: You're mopin', aren't 'ya?
Mike: No, I'm not mopin'.
Tommy: You're havin' a giant mope-fest over there, aren't 'ya?
Mike: No, I- I was just readin'.
Tommy: You're reading? That guarantees me that you're mopin'. Here's what I want you to do, when they were bringin' me down off the fire escape, the other night by your place, I noticed down the block there's like a bar/cafe thing. I want you to put away the ice cream, yeah, yeah, I know you're eating ice cream, yeah. That which guarantees again, moping. I want you to put on somethin' nice, go down there and meet somebody, alright? Preferably a girl.

Sean: Hey, check it out, look what Shawn found.
Black Shawn: Antique lamp, totally untouched by the fire or smoke.
Franco: Pretty cool, huh?
Lou: Hand it over, you mugs. [they hand it to him] Alright, three things, okay? This is private property, which means it belongs to someone, which means it has memories and emotions attached to it, it could possibly be a family heirloom. Second, taking private property from the scene of the fire, damaged or not, okay? Is against department regulations.
Franco: What's the third thing, Lou?
Lou: It looks like it's a reading lamp from a bedside table, which means there's probably another one exactly like it lying around, if you could find that and bring it directly to me, I'd appreciate it. [they all turn to go look for it] Thank you.
Tommy: You know what, that's gonna go real nice with that headboard that you got out of the furniture warehouse fire last year.
Lou: It's the fun side of being a boss.

Lou: [discussing whether or not he should have sex with his cousin Mike's girlfriend as revenge for his cousin having sex with Teresa] There's only one problem: She's black.
Tommy: Are we talkin' Halle Berry black, or Jennifer Hudson black?
Lou: Aretha Franklin black.
Tommy: Holy shit.
Lou: Now, not to say I have anything against black women, I think they happen to be very, very beautiful, it's not a racial thing at all.
Tommy: No, no, no. Nobody's talkin' about nobody's skin color or anything. Lemme ask you this, can she sing?
Lou: How the hell do I know?
Tommy: Well, I'm just askin' because sometimes a talent in one area can overcome or take the edge off a lack of talent in the other area.
Lou: Did I also mention that she's fat?
Tommy: Oh, she's fat? How fat?
Lou: I mean, she'd have to be able to sing, dance, paint, and figure skate just to take the edge off, and even then there'd be a lot of edge left.
Tommy: Okay, you know what? You'd have to be psychologically damaged, or maybe have a dent in your head to even think about possibly having sex with somebody under those particular circumstances.
Lou: You think?
Tommy: Yeah, I think so.
Lou: [pause] I'm thinkin' the sooner the better.
Tommy: Yeah, maybe tomorrow, just to get right back him.
