Dialogue

edit
Harry: And I ain't going to your funeral!
Archie: You ain't invited!
Leon: I'll shoot a hundred of those coppers!
Harry: There's only 50 of them, Leon.
Leon: Well... I'll shoot them all twice!
Belle: I warn you, I know karate!
Leon: [points his shotgun at her] I warn "you", I know Winchester!
[Archie had just landed a job at Penguin's]
Archie: What'll it be, sport?
Yogurt boy: Let me have strawberry yogurt. No, chocolate. No... Strawberry!
Archie: Look, kid... Just take your time, okay? Let me know when you've made up your mind.
Yogurt boy: I've already made up my mind.
Archie: So do you want chocolate or strawberry?
Yogurt boy: Neither. I want amarillo.
[Archie starts to get it for him]
Yogurt boy: Hey, that's GELLOTTI! I asked for YOGURT!
Archie: [peering at it] I don't see any difference.
Yogurt boy: GELLOTTI is made out of CREAM! YOGURT is made out of BACTERIA CULTURE! Where were you raised, in a cave?
Archie: All right, all right...
[gets the yogurt for him]
Archie: ... What, did I leave something out?
Yogurt boy: What about my toppings? You're supposed to ask me what kind of toppings I want.
Archie: Okay... What kind of toppings do you want?
Yogurt boy: Do you have peanut butter M&M's?
[Archie starts to put those on the yogurt]
Yogurt boy: Hey, what are you doing? I didn't say I WANTED M&M's! I just asked if you HAD them!
Archie: Yeah, we got them.
Yogurt boy: Well, I don't want them! Do you have OREO pieces?
Archie: [holding those up] You want them?
Yogurt boy: That's why I asked. And walnuts... NOT peanuts, WALNUTS. And jellybeans... NOT M&M's; I HATE M&M's... JELLYBEANS. And almond slices instead of walnuts.
[the sweating Archie brings him the completed yogurt]
Yogurt boy: Forget it; I'll just have it plain.
Archie: [forcing himself not to faint, Archies scrapes everyting off the yogurt] You sure you still want it?
Yogurt boy: Of course I do! What do you think I came in here for?
[Archie throws the yogurt in the boy's face]
Archie: [smiling] You got it, kid. That'll be a $1.60, please.
Leon: How can you live in a hell hole like this? If I lived in a place like this, I'd kill myself in an hour.
Belle: You've been here 45 minutes.
Leon: [a gang leaves their boombox behind] Hey, pissant! You forgot your jukebox!
[blasts the boombox with a shotgun]
Leon: I hate noise pollution!
Jimmy: [shouts across the diner] Hey, Vince!
Vince: [annoyed] What?
Jimmy: Where's Philly?
Vince: Pennsylvania!
Jimmy: No, no! Not "that" Philly! Philly the Mouse! Harry and Archie need him for a stick-up!
Derek: Our colors are cherry, peach, lime, olive, and avocado.
Archie: I don't want to eat the suit, I just want to wear it.
