Victor Ray Quotes in The Freshman (1990)

Victor Ray: [hands Clark a fake passport] Is that a piece of work or what?

Clark Kellogg: What is this? "Rodolfo Lasparri"?

Victor Ray: Clark, I gotta tell you. The odds are pretty good we're all gonna be on a plane to Palermo, Sicily tonight, at midnight, *if* we're still walking.

Clark Kellogg: I don't want to go to Palermo, Sicily!

Victor Ray: Have you ever been there?

Clark Kellogg: No, of course not!

Victor Ray: Then you really can't make an informed judgement, can you, Rodolfo?

[In Little Italy]

Clark Kellogg: This is it?

Victor Ray: Yeah. Safest neighborhood in New York.

[Gunshot in the background]

Victor Ray: What? You know how big this is? Bacio di tutti baci... the kiss of all kisses.

Clark Kellogg: Sorry.

Victor Ray: Fugetaboutit.

Victor Ray: How about I give you a hand with those bags?

Clark Kellogg: Oh, no thanks. I'm fine.

Victor Ray: You're a smart kid. Rule number one: don't let anybody touch your bags, kid.

Victor Ray: Kid, here in New York we have three distinct social classes. A. People who make a billion dollars a day and get laid in some tower every night. B. People who live in Times Square and eat Yankee Doodles on the sidewalk. And C. Guys like me. Guys who I like to call the glue in society. We go - fugetaboutit, all hell's gonna break lose.

Victor Ray: This is my uncle, Carmine Sabatini. Uncle Carmine, this is Clark. Hey, you know you never told me your last name?

Clark Kellogg: Kellogg.

Victor Ray: Kellogg.

Carmine Sabatini: Just like the cereal. Like the breakfast cereal.

Clark Kellogg: You know, your resemblance to the Godfather...

Victor Ray: Clark, Clark, have a seat.

Carmine Sabatini: Pull up a chair.

Clark Kellogg: Thank you.

Carmine Sabatini: How'd you like a nut?

Clark Kellogg: Do you know, that picture on the wall back there, that wouldn't by any chance be Mussolini?

Carmine Sabatini: It ain't Tony Bennett.

[laughs]

Carmine Sabatini: Some of the other members of the club, just, eh, I don't know, they keep it up there for sentiment.

Clark Kellogg: Sentiment?

Victor Ray: Yeah, you know, the old days.

Carmine Sabatini: Yeah, it's for the old days, for good or for bad. It would be like for you, I suppose, a picture of the The Beatles.

Victor Ray: Yeah, The Beatles.

Clark Kellogg: They're actually before my time.

Carmine Sabatini: Well, whatever works.

Carmine Sabatini: My nephew tells me you're from Kansas.

Clark Kellogg: Vermont.

Carmine Sabatini: Vermont. Kansas. Vermont.

Victor Ray: Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Carmine Sabatini: The most important thing is we're all Americans.

Victor Ray: Did my Uncle bring you up to date?

Clark Kellogg: Yeah, we're all going to be killed - by Greenwald and Simpson. They're part of the Vannelli family who are working out of South Amboy.

Victor Ray: Well, that's stretching it a little, Clark. There's a *chance* we'll all be killed - its not like a lock.
