Gus Mascola Quotes in Shaft's Big Score! (1972)

Johnny Kelly: We made a deal.

Gus Mascola: And I just called it off. You see, Mr. Kelly, I made a sort of a house call with Mr. Shaft. It didn't work out so well. It cost me a dead second cousin and a friend's kid brother with two hits in the chest.

Gus Mascola: Have you considered renewing your partnership with Cal Asby?

Johnny Kelly: Come on, man. He's dead!

Gus Mascola: Precisely.

Gus Mascola: You looking for me? I've been hearing quite a bit about you, Mr. Shaft. You're a - quite a boy.

Shaft: I prefer man.

Gus Mascola: Alright, man.

Gus Mascola: The only reason I won't spill your guts out right here and now, man, is that its easier to send you back to Bumpy with my message than to call Western Union. And the message is: you keep the hell outta Queens!

Gus Mascola: Oh, honey, you sure were right about that water bed. Wow!

Mascola's Girl: I thought you'd dig that, baby.
