    The most annoying one is love, friendship, gangsters, and life. I talked a lot and didn't have a single point. The plot is vulgar and old-fashioned, except for the violent fantasy of taking off the pants, but the years are no longer like smoke. Comrades Nima, how old are you? People in their thirties sigh with emotion every day? Standing at thirty, comrades! A large group of young and strong boys and girls do not want to improve basic education, how to solve the technology of industrialized production of chips, all day long, they think about lost love, lost youth, lost seventeen-year-old sky............this This is the real social tragedy!

Once Upon a Time in America quotes

  • Bugsy: [Bugsy and his gang have beaten Noodles and Max] You don't work for me, you don't work for no-one!

    Young Max: I don't like bosses.

    Bugsy: You'd be better off you stayed in the Bronx.

    Young Max: Woulda been better for *you*, too!

    [Bugsy spits on him, and he and his gang walk off]

    Young Max: I'm gonna kill him one of these days...

    Young Noodles: Yeah? Meanwhile, it looks like he killed US!

  • Frankie Minaldi: Hey, Joe, tell these guys the story about the pussy being insured. What is it? Tell these guys how you stumbled on this whole thing. Tell them the story. Come on. Pussy insurance, the insurance pussies. Tell them that story.

    Joe Minaldi: Life is stranger than shit, that's all. It's a pisser. No big story. I got this insurance agent, this Jew kid named David. He conned me into every policy in the world. Every policy, name it, dogs, house, wife, life, anything. I'm drinking with the boys one night. He comes in with his wife, a brunette with a nice ass who works for a jeweller. And he's still on the hustle, this guy. So I wink at the guys, I say, "Look... the most serious policy, you don't have me covered for." He goes, "What's that, Joe?" "Cock insurance. You make me a policy that when it don't work, I get a payment. I'll write out a check now." He thinks, and he says, "I don't know if the actuality gauges govern this... but we can make a policy. But you gotta guarantee you're in good health now." I says, "Look, leave her with me. Come back and see if it stands up. If it stands up, you know I'm in good health." The jerk leaves her. I screw her. Not only that, she likes it. And she tells me when her boss, the jeweller is shipping stones to Holland, where he keeps his stash - in a drawer in the safe - everything! Can't ask for more, right? Except, one better. I never paid the first premium on the new cock policy.

    Max: [laughing] Cock insurance...

    Joe Minaldi: Life is funnier than shit. But... be easy with the girl. I mean that. Be easy with the girl.
