American Hustle quotes

When you are offered a favor or money, take the favor, not the money. Jesus said that, didn't he?

Irving Rosenfeld

Cosmo Interview Girl : Our cover story right now is about cunnilingus. What do you think about that?

Sydney Prosser

Richie DiMaso : I know you think - look at me, hey, Edith - I know you think Irv loves you. I know you think you know him. You think that he sees the world as this cold, dark place. He cares about nobody but a very few people on a short list: His son, his father, Rosalyn, and you. You think you're on the top of the list? What if you're not? What if you're not on that list? What if you're not even on that list at all? He'd be in here right now if he took the cheque, but no, you did. God, it's so clear to me, it's crazy, it's clear to me, but it's not clear to you. He uses you, Edith, to protect himself, to protect his son, and his wife in Long Island. No? Yes. He put a ring on her finger, he adopted her son. They have a huge house and they have two huge cars, what does she do all day? I'll tell you what she does: She plays with her nails, she watches TV, and she spends your money; the money that you make.
Richie DiMaso : I don't like that you're in jail while he's going free, I don't like any of that, I want to help you. All the razzle-dazzle that he does? It's not good, it's not real, it's fake, it's not real. Who you are is who you are, between you and God. You and your soul, that's what matters, that's what counts, that's what I'm about. That's what I see in you. Tell me you didn't feel it the first time we saw each other? Am I crazy? I don't think so.
Richie DiMaso : I'm not supposed to be talking like this, but I don't care, I break the rules.
Richie DiMaso : Okay, Edith, Edith, I wanna help you. I like you.
Richie DiMaso : I like you.
Richie DiMaso : I like you.
