Oz Cobb: I’m messing with you, kid. All right, just sit tight. Maybe look for your sense of humor. It’s gotta be here somewhere.
Oz Cobb: I asked for extra pickles and they gave me two. So a normal amount of pickles is one?
Oz Cobb: [to Alberto] Carmine… he was a… he was a great man. You got some big shoes to fill. N-not too big. I mean, you know, m-manageable shoes.
Oz Cobb: Listen, uh, the tenement where you live, Vic? I know it’s gone. Nothing on Sixth was left standing. Alright, I don’t know if you have family or people in there, but you made it. You’re standing right here. Now, I’ve been where you are, and you heard my ma. I mean, this, this is one of those moments, you know, where you gotta ask yourself “What kinda life do I want?” You wanna spend your days thinking small, stealing rims, barely getting by… or do you want more for yourself? You saw how the Falcones live. Can you imagine living like that, huh? In a mansion, maids and butlers and shit? And they don’t even know what they got ‘cause they always had it? Never hungry, born full… Not us. The world wasn’t built for guys like us. That’s why we gotta take whatever we decide is ours. ‘Cause no-one’s gonna give it to us. I mean, not without a fight.
Oz Cobb: Maybe I’m more than what you think.
Francis Cobb: What you did wasn’t impulsive; it was instinctual. You shot that junkie pissant because you wanted to. Just like that. Oh, you’re so close now, to having everything you ever wanted, everything you deserve. You wanna run? You wanna hide? No… This city is meant to be yours, sweetheart. What are you gonna do to get it?
Sofia Falcone: You know, Oz, people underestimate you, but not me. I’ve always known you were capable of more.
Oz Cobb: Jesus, Vic, relax! We just put the Maronis back on the map. If Sal’s got a problem with that, then… fuck him. I don’t need him. I don’t need any of ’em. From here on out, there’s no more playing it safe. Drops are yesterday’s game. I’m gonna get whatever the hell’s in that shipment, I’m gonna run this goddamn city, and I want you in on it. Victor Aguilar: Really? Oz Cobb: Yeah, you earned it! Y’know, for the most part. And guys like us? We gotta stick together.
Oz Cobb: What’s the difference between the Mafia and the government? One of ’em is organized!
Oz Cobb: [at a funeral] Shit like this, the pain of it, you gotta be careful, ‘cause it’ll eat you alive if you let it. It’s helluva lot more fun to dance.
Ray: Hey, why do seagulls fly over the sea? ‘Cause if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels.
Oz Cobb: [after forcing Vic to lie alongside Ermad and Castillo’s corpses] How does it feel, Vic, huh? Nah, hey, hey, don’t close your eyes, look at them! Remember, this is what happens when you choke, you understand? That’s a one-way street, Vic! You know how close I got to get popped tonight? ‘Cause you fucked up? Then I gotta plant the blade and the jewels, a lotta work for me, Vic! A lotta work! Victor Aguilar: Look, I’m– I’m– I’m sorry, okay? I mean it! Oz Cobb: You know what? Fuck apologizing. You wanna survive? You gotta adapt. You gotta respond to the environment of the situation! You gotta think on your feet! You gotta be quick! Otherwise, this is what happens!
Oz Cobb: You still think there’s good and bad? Right and wrong? There ain’t. There’s just this. Survival. Security. Pleasure. They don’t give out awards for dying in the projects.
Sofia Falcone: I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t know how to trust you. Oz Cobb: How ‘bout I keep showing you how?
Oz Cobb: What do you say we start you on one a week, huh? Victor Aguilar: O-One thousand a week? Are you serious? Oz Cobb: And from now on, you want something, you ask for it. How’s anyone supposed know your worth unless you tell ’em, huh? Victor Aguilar: I want two thousand. Oz Cobb: That’s what I’m talking about.
Sofia Falcone: What do you want, Julian? Because I’m in the middle of something, and I think we’re past the point of analysis, don’t you?
Taj: My-My mother, my father, they won’t stand for this… Oz Cobb: That’s what I’m countin’ on.
Oz Cobb: They’re right over there… across the Elliot Bridge. A bridge that was built by your ancestors, Donny Boy, but it ain’t named Sullivan. Huh? No, it’s named for the rich crooks who took credit for your family’s hard work. They run shit. We eat shit.
Oz Cobb: They’re so busy with their noses up, they’ll never think to look down.
Oz Cobb: We got their loyalty. And we got their love. You know why? ‘Cause we pay ’em. You know how meaningful that is, Vic? To be the guy in the neighborhood who takes care of people? They’re gonna tell stories about us one day, kid.
Oz Cobb: Look, everything you heard about me is true, you know? I stole Sofia’s product. I… I popped Alberto Falcone. I did it all. So fuckin’ what? I hustle. You know, I… do what it takes. ‘Cause at the end of the day, you know… I’m just a poor kid from the Eastside who’s got something to fuckin’ prove. Like all of ya.
Donny Boy: I got three of my guys strung up ‘cause of you. Oz Cobb: No, not ‘cause of me. They’re dead because the Maronis and Gigantes got the power to take you out. You want revenge? What the fuck is stopping ya? They’re right over there! Across the Elliot Bridge! The bridge that was built by your ancestors, Donny Boy! But it ain’t named Sullivan, huh? Nah, it’s named for the rich crooks who took credit for your family’s hard work. They run shit, we eat shit. The sad thing Donny Boy is, they don’t even know your fucking name! They don’t know none of yours. But I do.
Oz Cobb: Silence is golden, loose lips, and all that shit
Sofia Falcone: I actually felt bad for him. Francis Cobb: Yeah, well… some people are easy marks.
Francis Cobb: I can’t do this alone no more. You have to promise me that you’re gonna make something of yourself, that you’ll get me every goddamn thing I deserve. Or I ain’t gonna make it. I don’t know how else I can live with this, Oswald. But you’ll make me happy. ‘Cause I deserve a happy life. Don’t I? Don’t I, Oswald? Tell me.
Oz Cobb: I mean, that’s the thing about family. It’s your strength. It drives you. But fuck if I don’t make ya weak, too. And I can’t have that no more. I can’t have that shit. I can’t. It’s too much. Too fuckin’ much. I’m sorry.
Oz Cobb: Link was tired of being overlooked. He ain’t the only one neither. Years of being brushed aside, laughed at, told to eat shit and fuckinn’ like it. It breaks ya. Makes ya wanna break somebody else.
