- Dan 'Danny' Curly: Red Deering got it.
- J.C. Ward, Curly's Hitman: The limit?
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: 1st degree. Burns on the 28th. That means you guys take care of Flicker Hayes.
- J.C. Ward, Curly's Hitman: When do you pay off?
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: When Hayes is where he'll never squeal on nobody.
- J.C. Ward, Curly's Hitman: That good enough for you Monk?
- [Monk raises his shoulders as if he doesn't care]
- J.C. Ward, Curly's Hitman: Hayes is as dead as Deering will be when they pull the switch.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: There's a safe full of junk and nose candy at the Empire Wholesale Drug Warehouse. They've hired me to use a can opener. Yeah. Tonight.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I've got to have my end now. We'll lay it on the line or see you.
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: Who do you think you are? 30 Gs on the line.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I didn't say 30. Cut it in half. 15 Grand in advance - and no marked bills.
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: Make it 5 Grand, Flicker. 5 on the line!
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I wouldn't knock the door off a cast iron stove for that. I said 15 before, well, now it's 20.
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: Fuggedaboutit.
- Hotel Clerk: Thanks Mr. Hayes.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Who?
- Hotel Clerk: Aren't you Flicker Hayes?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: My names Allen. Jerry Allen.
- Hotel Clerk: Oh, excuse me. You look like a guy that used to come into Kelly's back in New York.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Oh, really? Well, there's a lot of strange looking people in the world.
- Hotel Clerk: Say, Pop, what's the matter with Cat's Whiskers in the 5th?
- Pop Sims, aka Jim Parker: Wet track. That horse is no mudder.
- Hotel Clerk: It's Hayes all right. He used to hang around Kelly's back East.
- Pop Sims, aka Jim Parker: Did you ever see that statue with the three monkeys? Hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing. You're the last monkey.
- Rose Lawrence: I met him right here in this hotel. A guy in town for a good time. The bellhop introduced us. Figure it out for yourself.
- Rose Lawrence: I'll go any place on earth with you, for as long as ever you want me to.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: And I'll be the first one to tell you when I don't.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: What'd you do with the dough he sent you?
- Rose Lawrence: Well, I always said that if I ever made it up the aisle, I'd do it right. So, I fell for the dress.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Cherchez la Femme.
- Rose Lawrence: I guess so.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: [making a toast] Here's to the bride.
- Mrs. Gardella: Oh, no! We must to have Nick for dat.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: All right, then, mother - to you. You were a bride once yourself, you know.
- Mrs. Gardella: What you say?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: And I bet you were an eyeful too.
- Mrs. Gardella: Rosa, you must be careful of him. He has a bad eye.
- [laughs]
- Rose Lawrence: Well, I'll see you tomorrow night then, I suppose.
- Nick Gardella: Sure.
- Rose Lawrence: Well?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: You're supposed to kiss her now Nick.
- Rose Lawrence: A person has as much privacy as a goldfish with you around.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Now, there's a dame for you. Get's sore because you try to say the nice thing. And just for that - don't kiss her.
- Rose Lawrence: You kinda got under my skin, treating me so good. But, I wouldn't let it mean anything, you see. I had to make up my mind about that guy and now that I've done it, I don't want to cross myself up. I've always sort of drifted along. Now I've started something I want to finish.
- Mrs. Gardella: We have to get a wine.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Sure. Bring on that vino, mother. I'm a sucker for that good red ink.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I brought you down here. It looks as though I'm gonna take you away with me.
- Rose Lawrence: I hadn't asked you to.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: What would you say if I did?
- Rose Lawrence: Say that again.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: What if you and I - if I was to take you away with me?
- Rose Lawrence: Oh, I guess you don't mean that.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I'm asking you what would you say?
- Rose Lawrence: Don't you know?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Yeah, I guess I do. Come on, let's get out of here.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Where do I park the body?
- Mrs. Gardella: What you say?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Eh, where do I hit the feathers? You know, sleep?
- Rose Lawrence: You know I'll stick. To the finish.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: The finish may be a long way off.
- Rose Lawrence: You never know, Jerry.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: What do you mean, you never know?
- Rose Lawrence: Because nobody ever knows. That's why you've got to make the most out of your life while you can.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Why my life?
- Rose Lawrence: I mean everybody. Our life.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Looks like you figure sticking a long time.
- Rose Lawrence: That's the kind of a gal I am. Listen, I don't know if you've got a dime or what you do, things like that don't matter. Not to me.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I got mixed up with a woman.
- Nick Gardella: Oh, you have trouble with woman?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Pretty near. Yeah, I was headed for it until I got wise to myself. Yeah, almost let myself fall for a dame. Something I never did in my life. I never will.
- Nick Gardella: Woman wants to make trouble for you, huh?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: No dame's gonna get that chance. I'm not going to make a chump of myself.
- Nick Gardella: I not know everything you say, Jerry. Are you going south because you have trouble with woman up in Frisco, maybe?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Frisco or any other place. A woman means trouble, sooner or later.
- Pop Sims, aka Jim Parker: The bunk house sets back from the road about 60 feet. You can walk right in. He'll go with you, all right. I've got his rod.
- Monk, Curly's Hitman: That's his dame, all right. The one Simms told us about. And she's covering for him.
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: She don't know who we are. She's too dumb.
- Monk, Curly's Hitman: No? Well, he blew town and she's ready to follow him. Better make that dame talk.
- Dan 'Danny' Curly: She don't know who we are. She don't know who he is. We talk now, it's tipping our mitt. It's like going right up to Quentin and banging on the door.
- Monk, Curly's Hitman: We'll make her talk and give the heat to both of 'em.
- Rose Lawrence: You're not the kind of a guy that wants a dame hangin' onto him. You tried to talk yourself into it. But, you didn't want it. You're just trying to let me down easy. You don't have to. You go ahead. On a stack of bibles, all I wish you is the best. I hope you get the breaks right down the line, always. You've got to believe that. You've got to know that I'm for you - all the way. You go ahead, Jerry.
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: Open up kid and talk fast. Who are they?
- Whitey, the Driver: Who are you? You a Dick?
- Flicker Hayes, aka Jerry Allen: I said talk fast!
- Whitey, the Driver: They're guns. They come down here to get a guy. I didn't know. Now they're gonna give it to the dame. I got to get outta here!
