  • Little Joe Braun : I wanna think you men for the warm reception you just gave me. Especially the guys that booed. It's good to know there are a couple of honest men in the room anyway. I'm here to tell you guys that there's a circus coming here tomorrow. There's some phony politicians coming to town on a union-busting expedition. They're gonna ask me if I shot my grandmother. Yeah, I shot her! They're also gonna ask me who paid for my yacht. Well I don't own a yacht, I got news for you. I got two yachts - a front yacht and a back yacht! Now maybe it's just a coincidence that this Senate Committee is coming here while we're trying to negotiate with the employers. And if the employers wanna know what kind of deal we're gonna make with the Toolworks, I'll tell 'em. We're gonna give 'em the works!

  • Little Joe Braun : Awright, put that down. I wanna talk to you. Put it down! Come around here. Put the drink down, I wanna talk to you. Now who told you to set this guy, McAfee on fire? He didn't even see us.

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : You told me to scare him, didn't you? So I poured a little gas on him.

    Little Joe Braun : A little gas...

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : It's not my fault if that stupid Lou lights a match, you know?

    Little Joe Braun : How do you think this is gonna look for me at the trial? Look you don't set anybody on fire unless I tell you to, you understand?

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : You wanna know every time I put a bullet in a gun?

    Little Joe Braun : I didn't say that.

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : You told me to shut this guy up, you want to know exactly beforehand how I'm gonna do it?

    Little Joe Braun : Are you tryin' to pick a beef with me? Hm?

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : No, I just wanna get my orders straight, that's all.

  • Little Joe Braun : Don't mark up his face, he has to testify tomorrow.

    Oscar 'The Executioner' Wetzel : He's cold as a clam.

    Little Joe Braun : Get a bucket of water.

    Little Joe Braun : Slim, go wire him up.

    Phil Cernak : What are you gonna do to him?

    Little Joe Braun : I'm makin' a good witness out of him!

  • Little Joe Braun : After all as we know one hand washes the other !
