Dialogue

Paul Lowe, Attorney: Well that's it, Butcher. The evidence against you is so strong, the governor turned down your appeal.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: You're a rotten liar, Lowe. You started railroading me from the beginning of the trial. And now you're still trying to throw me curves.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: Look, I don't blame you for being edgy but get this straight. I didn't doublecross you. I never worked harder for a client.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: You mean you never worked harder for a client to get him sentenced.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: You're a fool, Butcher. If you hadn't tried to doublecross Squeamy Ellis and Joe Marcelli, they wouldn't have turned state's evidence against you. But you had to get greedy, you wanted to keep the whole $600,000 for yourself. And the boys got sore and I don't blame them.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: It was all your idea. You planned the whole job. You hired us. When you found out I stashed the money you figured it was time for me to die. You got those two crumbs to turn state's evidence on me. You stinkin' rotten mouthpiece.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: We both know that isn't true, Butcher. Now look, what's the sense in not giving me the money? It's not going to do you any good.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: Well. I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that none of you three crumbs are going to spend it.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: What about Eva? Don't you owe her something? You tell me where the money is, I'll see that she gets your share.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: I've got a different idea. I'm gonna kill you and Squeamy and Joe. Then I'll take care of Eva myself.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: You thick-headed ape, you're gonna die tomorrow.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: Remember what I said. I'm gonna get you. All three of you.

Paul Lowe, Attorney: Even for you, Butcher, that will be quite a trick. So long, dead man.

Charles 'Butcher' Benton: [As Lowe leaves Butcher's cell] Remember what I said. I'm gonna kill you. All three of you"
