I knew Jeff would beat me to the "yonda lies da castle of my fadda" quote. Well, he never said it, but his accent in movies like this makes you feel that he could have said it. (Tony not Jeff.)
My late father (or fodda) in law had much the same accent, Deb, although he was from Brooklyn rather than the Bronx like Tony. Think William Bendix as "Brooklyn" and you have it - "toidy-tird and tird."

Of course Tony never said "Yonda lies da castle of my fodda" but I used to think this was the movie he [didn't] said it in.
