Eliot Ness: Didn't you hear what I said? What are you, deaf? What is this, a game?

Malone: You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I'm saying is, what are you prepared to do?
Eliot Ness: Anything and everything in my power.
Malone: And THEN what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way because they're not gonna give up the fight until one of you is dead.
Eliot Ness: How do you do it then?
Malone: You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

Malone: Good, cause you just took one.

Jim Malone: Just like a Wop to bring a knife to a gunfight.

Eliot Ness: Never stop, never stop fighting till the fight is done.
Al Capone: What'd you say? What're you saying?
Eliot Ness: I said, "never stop fighting till the fight is done.
Al Capone: What?
Eliot Ness: You heard me, Capone. It's over.
Al Capone: [sneering] Get out, you're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge.
Eliot Ness: Here endeth the lesson.

Eliot Ness: I'm going to see you burn because you killed my friend.
Frank Nitti: He died like a pig.
Eliot Ness: What did you say?
Frank Nitti: I said your friend died screaming like a stuck Irish pig. Now you think about that when I beat the rap.
[Ness, enraged, grabs Nitti and throws him off the building ledge. Nitti wails as he falls]
Eliot Ness: "Did it sound anything like THAT?

Frank Nitti: Come on Mr. Treasury man, ARREST ME!

[Ness has just shot a gangster after the Canadian border raid.]

Eliot Ness: I'm a treasury officer.
Jim Malone: Oh, okay. Just keep in mind what we talked about, huh?
[Malone walks away]
Eliot Ness: Hey, wait a minute! What the hell kind of police work do they teach in this city, huh? You just turned your back on an armed man.
Jim Malone: You're a treasury officer.
Eliot Ness: How do you know that? I just told you that.
Jim Malone: Who would claim to be that, who was not? Hmm?
