Quotes 

• Floyd : Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES! He had to make a SWITCH! We can't let him get away with that.

  Doyle Lonnegan : What was I supposed to do, call him for cheating better than me in front of the others?

• Johnny Hooker : Here's your wallet. He hired a dame to take it from you. Shaw's been planning to beat your game for months. He's just been waiting for you to cheat him so he could clip you.

  Doyle Lonnegan : [pushing him up against the wall]  Who do you think you're talking to, errand boy? Nobody sets me up! Take him back to the baggage room! Put one in his ear!

  Floyd : For Christ's sake, there were four witnesses at that table!

  Doyle Lonnegan : Then go back, get that other goddamn son of a bitch and we'll dump them in the first tunnel we hit.

  Floyd : Doyle, we're gonna be in the station in a couple of minutes!

  Johnny Hooker : It ain't gonna look too good, you killing a guy you owe money to. There's better ways of taking him down. What do you think Shaw would do to me if he knew I was telling you this?

  Doyle Lonnegan : Okay. Why the rat?

  Johnny Hooker : I want to take over his operation, and I need you to help me break him.

  Doyle Lonnegan : Where's my money?

  Johnny Hooker : Shaw's got it. How the hell could I ask him for it back?

  Doyle Lonnegan : I'm giving you a lift home.

  Johnny Hooker : I was supposed to go with Shaw.

  Doyle Lonnegan : Explain it to him somehow.

  Johnny Hooker : Yeah, but he's expect...

  Doyle Lonnegan : [insistently]  I'm giving you a lift home. You follow?

• Doyle Lonnegan : [having had enough of "Shaw's" boorish behavior]  Stack me a cooler, Floyd.

  Floyd : Oh, come on, Doyle. We'll be in the station in another hour. The other guys are the big losers. You're still okay.

  Doyle Lonnegan : Fix me a deck, threes and nines. I'll cut it in on Clayton's deal.

  Floyd : What do you want Clayton to get?

  Doyle Lonnegan : Nothing. I want him out of there early. I'm gonna bust that bastard bookie in one play.

• Floyd : We had a little trouble in Chicago today. One of our runners got hit for 11 grand.

  Doyle Lonnegan : What makes you think he just didn't pocket it?

  Floyd : Well, we checked his story with a tipster. He was cleaned by two grifters.

  Doyle Lonnegan : They workin' for anybody?

  Floyd : I don't know. Could be. We're running that down now.

  Doyle Lonnegan : Have some local people take care of them. Nothing fancy. We got to discourage this kind of thing. You follow?

• Floyd : We just talked to Chicago. They got one of the grifters last night, a nigger.

  Doyle Lonnegan : How about the other one?

  Floyd : They're still looking for him.

  Doyle Lonnegan : Who did Combs put on it?

  Floyd : He gave it to Riley and Cole. They staked out the other guy's place last night, but he never showed. They figure maybe he skipped town.
