A Bronx Tale Quotes

A Conversation About Life and Gratitude

Calogero: [hears footsteps and turns to see someone else walking in] How ya doing, Sonny? Not so good, huh? I was so pissed at Tess, that's what I wanted to tell you. She might be my first great one, and I'm going to go out with her. Thanks for helping me. I want to thank you for saving my life; I never got a chance to tell you. They all died: Slick, Alto, Mario, Ralphie, all of them. Sorry, I thought I was alone. I'm just thinking out loud.
Carmine: [steps to Sonny's coffin and crosses himself] That's okay, it's understandable.

The Balance of Love and Fear

Sonny: That's what it comes down to- availability. The people in this neighborhood that see me that're on my side, they feel safe, because they know I'm close. And that gives them more reason to love me. But the people that wanna do otherwise? They think twice, because they know I'm close, and that gives them more reason to fear me.
Calogero: Is it better to be loved or feared?
