## S. Quentin Quale

* Any resemblance between these two characters and living persons is purely accidental!
* I was going to thrash them within an inch of their lives, but I didn't have a tape measure.
* Lulubelle, it's you! I didn't recognize you standing up.
* Time wounds all heels.
* There's something corrupt going on around my pants but I just can't seem to locate it.
* I give you my solemn word as an embezzler, I'll be back in ten minutes.
* You must fan the flames of love with the bellows of indifference.
* I'm not in business for love, you know. I was in love once and I got the business.
* I'm not drunk, but, what's the ceiling doing on the floor?

## Joseph Panello

* Rusty, I no like-a the West. All-a the people do is kill each other. I like-a the West better if it was in the East. Let's get outta here.
* [to Quale] You said you was an embezzler, but, you no fool me. I knew you was a crook!
