"It don't take no big thinking to figure a couple of guys like us ain't in this bananaville on a vacation!"

"What's waiting for you, Harris? The chair, the gas chamber, or just a rope?"

"What makes a two-bit heel like you think a heater would give him an edge over me?"

"There's something about that big lug I didn't like. Maybe it's calling me friend."

"I hated every part of her but I couldn't figure her out yet. I wanted to see her the way Johnny had. I wanted to hear that song of hers with Johnny's ears. Maybe she was alright. And maybe Christmas comes in July. But I didn't believe it."

"Johnny, why don't you get rid of the grief you got for that blonde, whoever she is? Every mile we go, you sweat worse with the same pain. Didn't I tell you all females are the same with their faces washed?"
