• James Temple : Are you thieves or what? You want money, is this a robbery?

  Toots : Yeah, Pop, we're gonna steal all your towels.

• Deputy Clyde Sawyer : Down in the lobby, I ran up against these two.

  [indicates Toots and Curly] 

  Deputy Clyde Sawyer : Well, they didn't look right to me, so I asked them a few questions. By the way they answered me, I knew there was something fishy. So I put in a call to Ben Wade, but before I could get through, the lights went out on me. I woke up in there. Rocco was standing over me. I recognized him right away from the pictures. I made a break for the door, and the lights went out again.

  Toots : I'm the electrician.

• Ralphie : Hey Curly, what all happens in a hurricane?

  Curly : The wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land.

  Toots : And singin' this song: Rain rain, go away, little Ralphie wants to play.

• Toots : I say smack her and let it go at that.

• Toots : On the level, Boss, were you that big?

  Curly : On the level, are you that dumb?

• Toots : Hey, boss! Hey, hey, boss!

  Johnny Rocco : What's the matter?

  Toots : The boat's gone!

  Johnny Rocco : [Rocco and his henchmen all run out to look]  What?

  Johnny Rocco : [referring to the hired boat skipper]  He did it. I told him I'd kill him, but he did it just the same.

  Curly : Maybe he'll come back now the storm's over.

  Johnny Rocco : No.

  Toots : Why not?

  Johnny Rocco : Because he believed me when I told him I'd kill him.
