& Johnny Clay: You know, Fay, the biggest mistake I made before was shooting for peanuts. Five years have taught me one thing, if nothin’ else — anytime you take a chance, you better be sure the rewards are worth the risk... because they can put you away just as fast for a $10 heist as they can for a million-dollar job.
& George: Why did you ever marry me anyway?
Sherry: George, when a man has to ask his wife that, well, he just hadn’t better, that’s all. Why talk about it? Maybe it’s all to the good in the long run.
& Sherry: After all, if people didn’t have headaches, what would happen to the aspirin industry?
& Johnny: I know you like a book. You’re a no good, nosy little tramp. You’d sell out your own mother for a piece of fudge, but you’re smart along with it. Smart enough to know when to sell and when to sit tight, and you know you better sit tight in this case.
Sherry: I do?
Johnny: You heard me. You like money. You got a great big dollar sign there where most women have a heart.
& Maurice: You have my sympathies, Johnny. You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else— the perfect mediocrity. No better, no worse. Individuality is a monster, and it must be strangled in its cradle... to make our friends feel comfortable.
& Maurice: You know, I often thought that the gangster and the artist... are the same in the eyes of the masses. They’re admired and hero-worshipped, but there is always present... underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
Johnny: Yeah. Like the, um— Like the man said, «Life is like a glass of tea.» Huh?
Maurice: Oh, Johnny, my friend, you never were very bright... but I love you anyway.
& Maurice: Still, I will probably go to jail, and jails I have found unpleasant. Food is very bad, company is poor, beds are too small...
& Maurice: There are some things, my dear Fisher, which do not bear much looking into. You have undoubtedly heard of the Siberian goat herder... who tried to discover the true nature of the sun. He stared up at the heavenly body until it made him blind. There are many things of this sort... including love and death and my business for today.
