The Outrage (1964)

Edward G. Robinson: Con Man

Quotes 

• Con Man : [Sarcastically to the Prospector]  I never forget a face, young man, but in your case I'll make an exception.

• Prospector : There was a trial.

  Con Man : What happened?

  Prospector : A man was murdered.

  Con Man : Just one? A slow day!

• Prospector : [Describing finding the dead body]  No, just one look at that face, and I got out of there as fast as I could!

  Con Man : [laughs]  Now, what makes people so jittery about the dead? Why, some of my best friends are corpses... the only ones I can trust! Oh, sure, they stink a little but no more than a few alive ones that I know.

• Prospector : Shut up, you! This is a preacher standing here.

  Con Man : Preacher? It can't be! He woke me up. They usually put me to sleep.

  Prospector : [to the Preacher]  Don't pay him no mind.

  Preacher : Who is he?

  Prospector : He's a con man... a swindler... an old scalawag.

  Con Man : How else can a man live to be old nowadays?

• Con Man : [laughing after hearing a description of the corpse]  Ah, hah-hah! I know, I know. You know, they all look so surprised... them cadavers.

  [Chuckles] 

  Con Man : I bet death must be a lot different than anybody thinks.
