"[Threatened by a man with a gun] Hey, would you mind putting that gun away? My wife doesn't care, but I'm a very timid fellow... All right, shoot. I mean, uh, what's on your mind?"

"The murderer is right in this room. Sitting at this table. You may serve the fish."

"The next person who says "Merry Christmas" to me, I'll kill 'em."

"Oh Nicky, I love you because you know such lovely people."

"[A detective searches the bedroom dresser] What's that man doing in my drawers?!"

"Marion: I don't like crooks. And if I did like 'em, I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons. And if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you!"
