- Dan Butler: America? Flat tracks! Dirt tracks! And the life there! It's on the fritz, believe me. Here we go wherever we please and see the sights!
- Louis Bork: I would hate to think I've been double-crossed by a tinhorn crook. That would hurt my pride.
- Paule Manet: Well, the way I got it, America's a great big country which is entirely populated by men who are misunderstood. No, not entirely.
- Joe Butler: Huh?
- Paule Manet: There are also the women who misunderstand them. If it isn't the wife, it is a girl who is out sitting under the apple tree.
- Joe Butler: What apple tree?
- Paule Manet: The good old apple tree. A lot of things must grow on trees - cigarettes and chocolate bars, nylon stockings, anything!
- Dan Butler: Keep looking for her, Joe. She'll come back. You just keep looking for your girl. You'll find her.
- Dan Butler: [Realizing that Bork has caught up to him] What took you so long?
- Louis Bork: What did it all come to? All this stuff of going to Nice and the tickets you bought to South America and later sold? What did it get you, huh? A month of life? Yes, that's something! And paying me back in francs instead of lire!
- Dan Butler: And you came up here just to tell me that?
- Louis Bork: No, Danny Boy, I'm here on business, of course, with pleasure as a sideline. Taking care of you will be my pleasure. I always take care of sidelines.
- Louis Bork: A wise boy like you should know I'm not kidding when I say I think I'm gonna kill you, Danny, just as sure as you're sitting there pretending you're not scared. I'd do it now like that
- [Snapping his fingers]
- Louis Bork: without a thought except I want my money first. I'm funny that way.
- Paule Manet: [Trying to convince him to throw the race] But it's just one more race!
- Dan Butler: Just one race - one more and one more, and that's the way it goes! When I was fifteen, I threw my first one. I've thrown hundreds since. Now look at me! The places I run away from! The places I can't show my face! A guy ends up playing tag with himself! He's gotta stop sometime!
