## Dialogue

    Coffee Cart Man: Hey buddy. You forgot your change.
    Joe Moore: [Takes the change] Makes the world go round.
    Bobby Blane: What's that?
    Joe Moore: Gold.
    Bobby Blane: Some people say love.
    Joe Moore: Well, they're right, too. It is love. Love of gold.
    Bergman: No one can get the goods like you, Joe.
    Joe Moore: Anyone can get the goods. The hard part is getting away.
    Bergman: Uh-huh.
    Joe Moore: You plan a good enough getaway, you could steal Ebbets Field.
    Bergman: Ebbets Field's gone.
    Joe Moore: What did I tell you?
    D.A. Freccia: You're a pretty smart fella.
    Joe Moore: Ah, not that smart.
    D.A. Freccia: You're not that smart, how'd you figure it out?
    Joe Moore: I tried to imagine a fella smarter than myself. Then I tried to think, "what would he do?"
    Joe Moore: Nobody lives forever.
    Fran Moore: Frank Sinatra gave it a shot.
    Betty Croft: Take it easy, baby, that stuff'll rot your stomach lining.
    Fran Moore: Yeah, but I get to drink it first.
    Jimmy: So, is he going to be cool?
    Pinky: My motherfucker is so cool, when he goes to bed, sheep count him.
    Pinky: It's a shame you know what, we didn't actually get to do the thing, the swiss job. It's a beautiful plan.
    Joe Moore: Cute, huh?
    Pinky: Cute as a pail full of kittens.
    Jimmy: No one can hear me.
    Joe Moore: No one can hear what you don't say.
    Jimmy: Hey, I'm as quiet as an ant pissing on cotton.
    Joe Moore: I don't want you as quiet as an ant pissing on cotton. I want you as quiet as an ant not even thinking about pissing on cotton.
    Bobby Blane: Sometimes adrenaline gives people the shakes, some might think it's cowardice, so maybe you'd want to pray about it.
    Jimmy: I'm not a religious man.
    Bobby Blane: There's nothing wrong with prayer. We knew this firefighter, this trooper, who always carried a bible next to his heart. We used to mock him, but that bible stopped a bullet.
    Jimmy: No shit.
    Bobby Blane: Hand of God, that bible stopped a bullet, would have ruined that fucker's heart. And had he had another bible in front of his face, that man would be alive today.
    Bergman: Ain't you a piece of work?
    Fran Moore: Yeah. I came all the way from China in a matchbox.
    Joe Moore: Why doesn't he shoot me?
    Fran Moore: That's the deal.
    Joe Moore: He ain't gonna shoot me?
    Fran Moore: No.
    Joe Moore: Then he hadn't ought to point a gun at me. It's insincere.
    Bergman: Don't you want to hear my last words?
    Joe Moore: I just did. [shoots him dead]
    Bobby Blane: Hey, you go to that plastic surgeon, don't you let him put you all the way under. I knew a cat in Stateville one time; went to get his face fixed. Woke up and the sucker had given him a pair of tits.
    Joe Moore: [laughs] That's a bad beat, no question.
    Bobby Blane: Oh, and he landed back inside and never had to want for cigarettes.
    Fran Moore: Cute plan, though.
    Joe Moore: Cute as a Chinese baby.
