• O'Grady : It's too bad to see a swell kid like you in this racket. Why don't you get out of it while the breaks are in your favor. The best you'll get is the worst of it. Why be a sap?

• Louie : Listen to me you copper-hearted mug, I'm no thief! My racket is beer and you know it. I'm in a legitimate business, I am.

  O'Grady : Sure, you are. You're just selling that nice, creamy beer to the poor working man - with a few murders, on the side, for his entertainment.

  Louie : What are you trying to do, get me sore so I'll spill somethin'?

  O'Grady : What have you got to spill?

  Louie : You'll get a chance to read that when I write the history of my life at three-fifty a copy.

  O'Grady : Don't write the last chapter till the night you go to the chair. It'll be more realistic.

  Louie : So, you think the chair will be the blow off for me?

  O'Grady : It's a cinch. How do you think you'll like the hot seat?

  Louie : I don't think I'll mind, sweetheart, if I can have you sittin' on my lap.
