Slevin:
How do you justify being a rabbi... and a gangster?
The Rabbi:
I don't. I'm a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what could've been when I am what could've been and what could not have been. I live on both sides of the fence. My grass is always green.

Some sort of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence thing? I mean, how do you justify being a rabbi and a gangster? I don't. I'm a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what could've been when I am what could've been and could not have been. I live on both sides of the fence. My grass is always green. Consider, Mr. Fisher... there are two men sitting here before you, and one of them you should be very afraid of. Where's my money? - Listen, I've been hearing that a lot lately... - My father used to say, "The first time somebody calls you a horse, you punch 'em on the nose," "the second time somebody calls you a horse, you call 'em a jerk," "but the third time somebody calls you a horse," "well, then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle." I don't have your money. This isn't like skipping out on the check. You owe me money. I have interests, you owe them money. I don't even know how much money I owe you. - $33,000. - But I'm not Nick Fisher. Then who the hell are you? I'm just a guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
