Carlito's Way Movie Quotes
Carlito
[voiceover and closing narration]
Sorry boys, all the stitches in the world can't sew me together again. Lay down... lay down. Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on Hun and Ninth street. Always knew I'd make a stop there, but a lot later than a whole gang of people thought... Last of the Moh-Ricans... well maybe not the last. Gail's gonna be a good mom... New improved Carlito Brigante... Hope she uses the money to get out. No room in this city for big hearts like hers... Sorry baby, I tried the best I could, honest... Can't come with me on this trip, Loaf. Getting the shakes now, last call for drinks, bars closing down... Sun's out, where are we going for breakfast? Don't wanna go far. Rough night, tired baby... Tired...

Benny Blanco
I don't know, but there may be some mis-fuckin'-understanding, I don't know man, but maybe you don't remember me, my name is Benny Blanco...
Carlito
Maybe I don't give a shit. Maybe I don't remember the last time I blew my nose either. Who the fuck are you, I should remember you? What, you think you like me? You ain't like me motherfucker. You a punk. I've been with made people, connected people. Who you been with? Chain-snatching, jive-ass, maricon motherfuckers. Why don't you get lost? Go a head, snatch a purse. Come on, take a fuckin' walk.

I'm trying to be so optimistic. Then I think... why should I be so optimistic? Yeah, I had a dream... but now I'm awake... and I hate my dream. Maybe it's time I started thinking about doing something else.

Carlito
You ripped him off, didn't you?
David Kleinfeld
What?
Carlito
Tony T. You did take the million dollars, didn't you?
Carlito
You ain't a lawyer no more, Dave. You a gangster now. On the other side. A whole new ball game. You can't learn about it in school, and you can't have a late start.
David Kleinfeld
Don't worry about me.
Carlito
One more thing. We're even.

Carlito
Don't take me to no hospital, please. Fuckin' emergency rooms don't save nobody. Som-bitches, always pop you at midnight, when all they got is a Chinese intern with a dull spoon.

Carlito
[voiceover]
There is a line you cross, you don't never come back from. Point of no return. Dave crossed it. I'm here with him. That's means I am going along for the ride. The whole ride. All the way to the end of the line, wherever that is.

[first lines]
Carlito
Somebody's pulling me close to the ground... I can sense, but I can't see. I ain't panicked. I've been here before. Same as I got popped on 104th street. Don't take me to no hospital, please. Fuckin' emergency rooms don't save nobody. Sons of bitches pop you at midnight, when all they got is a Chinese intern, with a dull spoon. Oh look at these suckers. Scrambling around... What for? My Puerto Rican ass ain't supposed to have made it this far. Most of my crew got washed a long time ago. Don't worry. My heart, it don't ever quit. I ain't ready to check out... Seems like I just got out of the joint. Stood up in front of that judge, and told him what was who.

Carlito
[during his trial]
But my time in the Sterling Correctional facilities of Greenhaven and Sing Sing has not been in vain. I've been cured; born again, like the Watergaters. I know you've heard this rap before, your honor, I've changed. I've changed, and it didn't take no thirty years like your honor thought, but only five.

Saso
[Speaking in Spanish]
Listen to me carefully, Carlito. Rudy says Pachanga is complaining about being broke; that he doesn't have a single dollar. He's also saying that you're a piece of shit, and that you don't have the balls to take care of the problem; and he's wasted a lot of time without making any money. Besides, I hear he's spying on us for Benny Blanco.
Saso
He's your brother? That son of a bitch would kill his mother for money.

Hey Louie... Louie, your fuckin' chick's givin' you a handjob right in front of everybody. I got guests here, for christsake. People are eating.

David Kleinfeld
Fuck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 fucking times? No, it didn't, I did, so fuck you, fuck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass.

Rudy
Carlito, Mr. Benny Blanco says it's gonna be okay. He wants to send a bottle of champagne over, and he wants you to send Steffie over, when you're ready.
Steffie
Carlito, what should I do?
Carlito
No problem, Steffie.
[to Rudy]
Carlito
Steffie's with Dave now.
Rudy
But Benny said...
Carlito
Fuck Benny!
Waiter
Carlito, this is from Benny Blanco.
Carlito
Send it back!
Saso
[to the waiter] Vete! Vete!
Saso
[to Carlito] Charlie, please, you can't do this. Benny Blanco spends a lot of money here.
Carlito
Oh, he's a nickel-bagger. Come on.
Saso
What happened to you? What are you acting like this for? It doesn't make sense you should hate this guy. Because this guy is you 20 years ago.

Already I had a bad feeling about the boat trip night as soon as I saw Dave. He was all coked up so much that his nostrils were red and swollen. Bad start Jack.

Gail
That doesn't sound like you.
Carlito
It doesn't? Really?
Gail
You never talked like this before.
Carlito
Never felt like this before. It's a funny thing. This guy, this counselor at Lewisburg... Mr. Seawald, once said to me: Charlie, you run out of steam. You can't sprint all the way. You gotta stop sometime. You can't buck it forever. It catches up to you. It gets you. You don't get reformed... you just run out of wind.
Gail
I'd better go.

[watching an Italian man dancing with Gail]
You're gonna let this fuckin' goombah paw your woman like that?
Carlito
Hey, they're just dancin'. Don't you appreciate that? The movement. The rhythm. What I don't appreciate is he's got his fuckin' hands all over her ass.
Carlito
He's doesn't have his hands over her ass. I believe those are hips.
David Kleinfeld
[still watching the Italian man dance with Gail]
This shithead. These fuckin' wiseguys think they're so hardass. I am so sick of hoods like *that* coming into my office, MY office, thinkin' they can push me around.
Carlito
[sarcastically]
Oh, I think you should tell him what you think. I mean, why would you ever hold something like that inside? I mean, why not get something like that off your chest? It's a terrible thing to carry around with you.
David Kleinfeld
I will.
Carlito
I think you should.
David Kleinfeld
I will.
Carlito
Oh, yeah. Go ahead, look, see how interested he's gonna be in your comments.
