"[to Kathie] Did it take much persuasion to make you say I killed Fisher? Come on, feed my ego. Tell me he beat ya, tell me he had to drag every word out of ya."

"You see, I've got the files that were in your briefcase. I also know the address of the Treasury Department. That's the theory, isn't it? Keep the files away from the Treasury boys. Save Whit from doing ten years in a federal pen. Now you correct me if I make a mistake...You get the files and you also get Eels' body, in case you want to keep it from the cops...I want the affidavit that Meta put in Eels' safe when she took the files out. The lie that somebody put on paper that I killed a guy named Jack Fisher. Cause you see, I only buried him. And you don't get the gas for being the undertaker...And you won't need Whit. All you need is Meta to unlock that safe in Eels' office. I hope Meta's still around."

"I think I'm in a frame...I don't know. All I can see is the frame. I'm going in there now to look at the picture."

"[to Meta] If you'll drop this Junior League patter, we may get this conversation down to where it belongs."

"[to Whit] You liked me because you could use me. You could use me because I was smart. I'm not smart anymore. I run a gas station."

"I wasn't sorry for him or sore at her. I wasn't anything."

"It was meeting her somewhere like in the first times. There was still that something about her that got me - a kind of magic or whatever it was. I held her and we could laugh because we were together again. We'd played it smart and forgotten nothing. Forgotten nothing except one thing. He had followed her."

"We found a little movie house in North Beach. We were on the run. We went to places we never would have seen in our lives. And after a while, we grew a little more sure of ourselves. We drifted back to more familiar places. Ball parks and the race tracks. Why not? After all, there was one chance in a million we'd bump into our past."

"It was the bottom of the barrel and I scraped it. But I didn't care. I had her."

"I don't like playing games when I'm the fall guy. You might remember that, Whit."

"She's a clever little girl and she's always a hop, skip, and a jump ahead."

"It was a nice little joint with bamboo furniture and Mexican gimcracks. One little lamp burned. It was all right. And the rain hammering like that on the window made it good to be in there."

"I never saw her in the daytime. We seemed to live by night. What was left of the day went away like a pack of cigarettes you smoked. I didn't know where she lived. I never followed her. All I ever had to go on was a place and time to see her again. I don't know what we were waiting for. Maybe we thought the world would end. Maybe we thought it was a dream and we'd wake up with a hangover in Niagara Falls. I wired Whit but I didn't tell him. 'I'm in Acapulco,' I said. 'I wish you were here.' And every night I went to meet her. How did I know she'd ever show up? I didn't. What stopped her from taking a boat to Chile or Guatemala? Nothing. How big a chump can you get to be? I was finding out. And then she'd come along like school was out, and everything else was just a stone which sailed at the sea."

"She waited until it was late. And then she walked in out of the moonlight, smiling."

"I knew I'd go every night until she showed up. I knew she knew it. I sat there and drank bourbon and I shut my eyes, but I didn't think of a joint on 56th Street. I knew where I was and what I was doing...what a sucker I was. I even knew she wouldn't come the first night. But I sat there, grinding it out."

"And then I saw her, coming out of the sun, and I knew why Whit didn't care about that forty grand."

"You say to yourself, "How hot can it get?" Then, in Acapulco, you find out. I knew she had to wind up here because if you want to go south, here's where you get the boat. All I had to do was wait. Near the plaza was a little cafe, called La Mar Azul next to a movie house. I sat there in the afternoons and drank beer. I used to sit there half-asleep with the beer and the darkness. Only that music from the movie next door kept jarring me awake."

"You don't get vaccinated for Florida, but you do for Mexico."

"I sell gasoline, I make a small profit. With that I buy groceries. The grocer makes a profit. We call it earning a living. You may have heard of it somewhere."

"They say the day you die your name is written on a cloud."

"I just happen to have access to one of the sexiest lasers in the entire free world."

"Paul Stevens' high school science project has gotten a little out of hand. He just built an atomic bomb. Now he's got 11 hours to make sure it doesn't work."

"Student: [about Paul] What's the problem? Was he sexually abusing the hamsters or something?"

"You mean I'm gonna die because some asshole didn't bring a pair of pliers?"

"[after being drugged] Jenny. I love you, Jenny. I wanna be your wife."

"Hey, Mister, I betcha can't guess what I've got in this box. An atomic bomb."

"I never thought I'd say this to anyone, but I gotta go get the atomic bomb from out of the car."

"[as they are about to disarm the bomb] Anybody want to make a bet?"

"Oh, what did you want us to do? Put up a neon sign that says 'Secret Weapons Laboratory'?"

"You try to tough it out with them, they'll lock you in a room and throw away the room."

"The legend continues...The Italian Stallion is back!!"
