- 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
edit- 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!
