    [Sylvester hangs up] 

    Lennie Pike : [to Mrs. Marcus]  Well?

    Mrs. Marcus : So he's coming here. And I'm not to worry about a thing, because "everything is going to be all right!"

  • Melville Crump : Look, why don't we just start digging for it?

    J. Russell Finch : Well suppose someone comes along? What do we tell them?

    Monica Crump : Well, we could tell them that we're here on an archeological expedition.

    Melville Crump : [annoyed]  Aah!

    Sylvester Marcus : We don't tell them anything. We tell them to hit the road or we beat their brains in!

  • [Pike and Sylvester are digging into a hole that suddenly becomes too close] 

    Sylvester Marcus : Wait a minute, wait a minute. There's not enough room, Man, you're bugging me. You're bugging me.

    Lennie Pike : What are you talking about 'bugging'?

    Sylvester Marcus : Cut out, cut out.

    Lennie Pike : What's this 'cut out' talk?

    Lennie Pike : Don't call me a baby!

    All : Would you just get out? Get on with it!

  • Mrs. Marcus : Sylvester!

    Sylvester Marcus : Mama!

    Mrs. Marcus : Why couldn't you listen? Why couldn't you shut up when I was trying to tell you to listen?

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : Have a care, that chap's run absolutely amok!

  • Benjy Benjamin : [in a hospital in bandages and casts]  It's all your fault. It's all your fault right from the beginning to the end.

    J. Algernon Hawthorne : You know, even for a policeman, your behavior was ruddy outrageous.

    Sylvester Marcus : Yeah, you could have taken a fair share like the rest of us, but no. You had to go and wrap up the whole scene, baby.

    Ding Bell : We had three hundred and fifty-thousand bucks right in our hands.

    Melville Crump : Fourteen into three hundred and fifty-thousand dollars...

    Ding Bell : [groans]  Oh, shut up!

  • Sylvester Marcus : You could've taken a fair share like the rest of us but no, you had to grab up the whole scene, baby.

  • Mrs. Marcus : "No matter what you've all done today, you're really not criminals". Ha! Of all the snooty, patronizing...

    Mrs. Marcus : [to Pike]  You're stepping on my foot!

    Sylvester Marcus : Would you get off Mama's foot?

  • [last lines] 

    [Mrs. Marcus, Emmeline and Monica enter the hospital room where all the men are in traction, their entrance right after Benjy had thrown a banana peel on the floor] 

    Mrs. Marcus : [yelling]  Now see here, you idiots, it's all your fault, because if you hadn't...

    [Mrs. Marcus slips on the banana peel and falls back-first on the floor] 

    Sylvester Marcus : Mama!

    [all the hospitalized men, except Sylvester and Captain Culpeper, burst out laughing uproariously as Mrs. Marcus is put on a stretcher and taken away] 

    Mrs. Marcus : [yelling]  Don't you dare touch me! Get away from me! Let me go! Leave me alone...

    [Captain Culpeper joins the laughter] 

  • Sylvester Marcus : That's my mommy. She's gone crazy or something. *Maybe rape, oh*!

  • Sylvester Marcus : Mommy, you got nothing to worry about. Your baby's coming. Your baby's coming to save you, Mama!

  • Sylvester Marcus : Ha-ha! Go! Go baby, go! Ha-ha! Yes, yes! Ha-ha! Yes, yes! Ha-ha! Yeah, yeah! Go, baby! Ah, yes! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Oh! Ha-ha-ha! That's it baby. Don't stop. Go! Wow!
