Arnold Rothstein
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: All right, Arnold. You're allowed to blow off steam.
- Arnold Rothstein: It's not all right. Do you think I entered into this arrangement because I value your companionship? You are a convenience of geography and supply. You promised a quantity and a price. *You* have failed to deliver! And now, owing to your inability to manage your affairs in *New Jersey*, a state I have little interest in or affection for, you expect me to start a war? In New York? Where things actually matter?
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: I expect you to understand that Gyp Rossetti is trouble for everyone. I lost an entire convoy...
- Arnold Rothstein: [interrupting] Because of your own cavalierness! Because you run off to Manhattan at a moment's notice to rut with some showgirl!
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: You'd be wise to leave Miss Kent out of this.
- Arnold Rothstein: Why? You can't. Do you even begin to understand how weak that makes you look?
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: That's a big noise from a man who is dead below the waist.
- Arnold Rothstein: I practice discretion.
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: You practice bullshit! Who the fuck are you, Arnold, aside from a little weasel with a good poker face?
- Enoch 'Nucky' Thompson: [referring to Gyp] What would you do about a mad dog?
- Arnold Rothstein: Before anything else I'd find out who its master was.
