What better way to start off the new blog, than with eight of my favorite quotes from Martin Scorsese's 1995 hit movie Casino.
Casino is a 1995 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone.
It is based on the non-fiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Scorsese.

1. The "eye in the sky" is watching us all...
In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are
looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players.
The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses.
The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all. - Ace Rothstein

2. A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes.
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those
holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole
already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk.
Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time?
Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night. - Nicky Santoro

3. I lost control ?...
I lost control? Look at you, you're fucking walking around like John
Barrymore! A fucking pink robe and a fucking cigarette holder? I lost
control ? - Nicky Santoro
4. What happened to the tough guy ?
You hear a little girl, Frankie? Is that a little girl, Ace? Is that a
little fuckin' girl?
What happened to the fuckin' tough guy who told my friend to stick it up his fuckin' ass? - Nicky Santoro(after stabbing a man with a pen)

5. Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific..
Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific, but they worked.
When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky ? Nicky was the muscle. - Ace Rothstein

6. There are three ways of doing things around here.
Listen to me very carefully. There are three ways of doing things around
here: the right way, the wrong way, and the way that I do it. You
understand ? - Ace Rothstein
7. No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on.
No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat
Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat.
You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And if you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he'll keep comin' back and back until one of you is dead. - Ace Rothstein

8. By now Nicky and his crew had hit rock bottom...
By now, Nicky and his crew had already hit rock bottom. I mean Vegas really got to him.
The booze, the coke, the broads. I mean, he got sloppy. He just wasn't the same Nicky anymore.
I heard one night, he had to belt a guy three times before the guy finally went down. In the old days, Nicky would've decked him with one shot.
You add this into the mix....maybe Vegas got to all of us. His crew followed him right over the edge. - Ace Rothstein.
