The Family

Maggie Blake: "The human body was not designed to combat saturated fat like that. The butter impregnates the tissues, and then it hardens and settles like silt. It makes your aorta stiffer than a hockey stick. Whereas olive oil - caresses your insides, leaving nothing behind but its scent."
Caputo: "That's right. Oil is in the Bible."

Bernie: "Hey, Maggie."
Maggie Blake: "Hey, Bernie."
Bernie: "It's good to see you again."
Maggie Blake: "The feeling's not mutual, Bernie."

"I've cheated death so many times in my life, I don't even think about it any more. It's like getting caught outside in a storm. You just have to avoid being hit by the lightning."

Fred Blake: "I didn't always do the right thing by both of youse. And I put you in a tricky situation. And I regret that."
Belle Blake: "Dad. Dad. What are you talking about? Your are the best dad anybody could ever ask for."
Fred Blake: "Really?"
Belle Blake: "Fuck, yeah!"
Fred Blake: "Oh, well, let's go party then."

Priest: "Your confession has haunted me all week. How can you live such a hellish existence?"
Maggie Blake: "Isn't that the point of confession?"
Priest: "Your family is the incarnation of evil, and your life is a never-ending pact with the devil! Leave this holy place, for the love of God!"

"I'm a good guy. I'll prove it to you in 10 points. A bit like one of Letterman's Late Show Top 10 Lists. So here we go...
Number 10: I am always up front. Always.
Number 9: I never look for a scape goat.
Number 8: If you give me a job, I'll always see it through.
Number 7: I've never shown contempt for people who fear me.
Number 6: I've never betrayed the guy who gave me my first gun.
Number 5: I never wished any harm on anybody.
Number 4: I lived outside the law, but only outlaws didn't judge me.
Number 3: Anybody who doesn't contradict me can expect nothing but good things from me.
Number 2: In my neighborhood when I was running it, there was never a single robbery on the street. People lived and slept peacefully.
Number 1 of the top 10 reasons why I'm a good guy? I don't like to cause pain for no reason, because all my sadistic urges are satisfied when I cause pain for a good reason."

"Al Capone always said, asking polite with a gun in your hand is always better than just asking polite."

Fred Blake: "Is everything all right?"
Maggie Blake: "Nothing much, just the prospect of packing up and moving again when they find out you killed the plumber."
Fred Blake: "I didn't kill him, I took him to the hospital."
Maggie Blake: "Why'd you beat him to a pulp? He's the only plumber within a radius of 20 miles."
Fred Blake: "But he disrespected us and he made you wait on him, honey."
Maggie Blake: "Geez, honey, I survived."
Fred Blake: "And you know the guy was trying to rip me off, so put yourself in my shoes."
Maggie Blake: "Oh, I definitely wouldn't have beaten him up. I mean, who's gonna fix the pipes now?"
Fred Blake: "Well who's gonna rebuild the supermarket that burned down the day we got here? Huh?"
