James Darmody:
I won't pretend you're inclined to be warm to me. I wouldn't insult you like that, cuz before anything else, I have great respect for you, your wisdom, your achievements.

Arnold Rothstein:
You're better spoken than I expected.

James Darmody:
We never really talked before.

Arnold Rothstein:
You and Charlie are acquainted?

James Darmody:
We have someone in common [Lucky slept with James' mother and tried to murder him].

Arnold Rothstein:
You hear, Charlie? Discretion. Charlie volunteered to absent himself from this meeting. He felt his presence might be disruptive, but I counseled what?

Lucky Luciano:
Never let the past get in the way of the future.

James Darmody:
We are all learning, Mr. Rothstein.

Arnold Rothstein:
And what can I learn from you, Mr. Darmody?

James Darmody:
That things are changing in Atlantic City. If you're in the market for quality liquor coming in off the beaches at a reasonable price and in good supply, I can get it for you.

Arnold Rothstein:
You personally?

James Darmody:
Me. My associates. I'm expanding my business and you are precisely the type of discerning customer I'm looking for.

Arnold Rothstein:
And Nucky Thompson?

James Darmody:
Nucky's like a father to me.

Lucky Luciano:
I have a father. Barely said hello in 5 years.

James Darmody:
Sorry to hear it.

Arnold Rothstein:
Who are you, Mr. Darmody?

James Darmody:
Pardon?

Arnold Rothstein:
Y-Y-You show up well dressed with a suit cravat and a bold proposal. A year ago you were a brigand in the woods. Who are you?

James Darmody:
I'm a businessman, a veteran, I just got married.

Arnold Rothstein:
Congratulations.

James Darmody:
I have a son. He's almost 4.

Arnold Rothstein:
Cart before the horse?

James Darmody:
Do you have kids, Mr. Rothstein?

Arnold Rothstein:
No, but I'm told they often say unexpected and amusing things. I appreciate you coming to me. I applaud your audacity. And I give you my word that your offer remains in this room.

James Darmody:
What does that mean?

Lucky Luciano:
I'll show you out.
