The Family Quote
Fred Blake: [writing his memoirs]I won't spare myself. I'll tell the story without trying to make myself look good. But in this chapter I'll do the opposite and demonstrate to you that if you take a closer look, 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...
Fred Blake: 10: I am always up front. Always. [sneaks up and shoots a couple of guys in a car]
Fred Blake: Number 9: I never look for a scape goat. [tied up and laughing at thugs that are beating him up]
Fred Blake: Number 8: If you give me a job, I'll always see it through. [dunking a guy into liquid nitrogen]
Fred Blake: Number 7: I've never shown contempt for people who fear me. [robbing some Hasidic Jews]
Fred Blake: Number 6: I've never betrayed the guy who gave me my first gun. [refuses to identify Fat Willy in court]
Fred Blake: Number 5: I never wished any harm on anybody. [demonstrates his influence over street cops]
Fred Blake: Number 4: I lived outside the law, but only outlaws didn't judge me. [schmoozing with wise guys]
Fred Blake: Number 3: Anybody who doesn't contradict me can expect nothing but good things from me. [pays off a photographer to not photograph him]
Fred Blake: Number 2: In my neighborhood when I was running it, there was never a single robbery on the street. [glad-handing around town]
Fred Blake: People lived and slept peacefully.
Fred Blake: 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. [beating the plumber with a baseball bat until the bat breaks]
Fred Blake: Wait, I'm not fuckin' finished. [grabs a 3-pound hammer from the plumber's bag]
