Stingray (1978)

Bert Hinchman: Tony

Quotes 

• Lt. Herschel : I don't believe it. Two homicides last night, a million dollars worth of smack in the area and you can't find anything on them.

  Sgt. Murphy : Lieutenant, we searched that car from top to bottom. They're clean!

  Lt. Herschel : I don't believe it. We've got Lonigan right here in the station. Lonigan, who would tear the hands of a baby for a few bucks. Tony, I don't give a shit about, since he's only the faggot in the lot.

  Sgt. Murphy : Lieutenant, what do you want us to do? We held them over twenty-four hours. We've got to let 'em go.

  Lt. Herschel : All right.

  [walks over to Lonigan and Tony] 

  Lt. Herschel : Well, unfortunately, you two are free to go.

  Lonigan : Lt. Herschel, if you're the fair man I think you are, you owe myself and my associate here an apology.

  Lt. Herschel : Lonigan, old buddy, let me tell you something. A little number down in the alley last night has your name written all over it. Now, I don't know where you ditched the stuff, but you're lucky you came clean because if my boys found so much as a pocketknife, you and Greaseball would be our permanent guests in the big house.

  Lonigan : [laughing hysterically]  Yeah! The big house? How about Little House on the Prairie? We even got a Kojak in here!

  Lt. Herschel : Get out of here, Lonigan. Take Scumbag with you.

  Tony : [offended]  Hey, look...

  Lonigan : Icy calm. Icy calm. Bye!

  [Lonigan is still laughing when he and Tony leave] 

• Abigail Bratowski : [the three are walking out of the courthouse to their car]  It's a good thing I wasn't there. I would have castrated them both.

  Lonigan : That's exactly why you were left out of it.

  Abigail Bratowski : Left out? Look, buddy, I'm running this outfit. I stayed back because I wanted to. Don't forget that!

  Lonigan : Abby, Abby, quit busting my balls, will you, please?

  Tony : All right, all right, will you two just cool it? Let's go pick up the stuff, huh?

  Abigail Bratowski : Listen, shrimp, if you want to have your teeth knocked down your throat, just keep up the comedy routine.

  Lonigan : She's right! Don't pull your string, dummy! Get in the car!

• Tony : [after finding out Abigail has killed Lonigan and plans to shoot Tony]  Now, wait a minute, Abigail. Wait just one minute.

  Abigail Bratowski : Stuff it, shrimp.

  Tony : It was Lonigan's idea. I tried to talk him out of it.

  Abigail Bratowski : [Abigail aims her gun at Tony, but it clicks empty]  You know, if I knew you had the sense to cross me, I would have blown your guts out a long time ago.

  Tony : [chuckles nervously]  Hey, I was with you all the way, Abby, I, uh, mean, Abigail.

  Abigail Bratowski : Stick Icy Calm's body in the back and we'll dump it, later, in the nearest toilet.

• Tony : [after shooting Abigail]  I don't share a million bucks with nobody, especially some crazy broad.

• Tony : [aiming his gun at Al and Elmo]  Hold it!

  [Al and Elmo try to make a run for it] 

  Tony : Go ahead and try it, Blondie! I'd love to put a hole right in both you and Curly, there!

• Tony : [when they wind up letting Al and Elmo escape from the bar]  We're in such deep shit.

  Lonigan : You know why we're in deep shit?

  Tony : Why?

  Lonigan : We broke Lonigan's Law, that's why. Never mix B&B.

  Tony : [confused]  That's a drink, right?

  Lonigan : Oh, Christ, when you're talking, you ain't learning. Business and broads. The bottom line is when this is over: Abigail, Acapulco. Up to her ass in banana daquiris and beach boys. You and me: a trash bin in East St. Louis. Well, I'm not gonna let it happen, all right? It's not gonna happen to us.

• Lonigan : [Abigail joins Lonigan and Tony at the construction site]  Well, well, look who's here. It's the devil in drag.

  Abigail Bratowski : What the hell is going on here?

  Tony : [angrily, while trying to dig the gravel out from under the tires of their car]  Don't start anything, Abigail! I mean it! Don't start!

  Abigail Bratowski : Where's Blondie and the 'Vette?

  Lonigan : [mocking]  Where's Blondie and the 'Vette? Where's Blondie and the 'Vette? I can't start this goddamn bulldozer! Can you? We're stuck!

  Tony : [to Abigail]  Did you get the jacket?

  Abigail Bratowski : No! What's so important about the jacket?

  Tony : Oh, Christ, the homer's in the jacket!

  Abigail Bratowski : [furious and grabs Tony by the shirt]  You little fart! Why didn't you tell me? Oh, god, now we're right back to where we started!

  Lonigan : Okay, just cool it, cool it!

  [looks around] 

  Lonigan : Where's Rosco?

  Abigail Bratowski : I smoked the tub of lard.

  Lonigan : [confused]  You what?

  Abigail Bratowski : I smoked him!

  Lonigan : [still confused]  You smoked him.

  Tony : She killed him?

• Tony : [after escaping when he and Lonigan shoot Kruger and his crony dead]  Who were those guys? Cops?

  Lonigan : Cops? No, they're graduate students of anthropology.

• Abigail Bratowski : [when chasing the gang]  They went down the other side!

  Tony : I don't need a play-by-play. I can see.

• Tony : [when staking out the car lot]  Maybe they're not buying it. They're probably just looking.

  Lonigan : Yeah, and they're famous movie stars stopping off to sign autographs. They're buying the car, you dumb shit!

• Tony : Lonigan, are you familiar with the roads around here?

  Lonigan : I don't even know what state we're in.

  Tony : A sign back there said "Steep Hill. Two"

  [their car jumps down a steep hill which crashes down on impact] 

• Lonigan : All right, we gotta think logically here. We've been on this road for three miles. Correct? No side roads, no Corvette. I can't figure it.

  Tony : Well, why are we stopping here?

  Lonigan : [pointing at the dash]  You see that light on the dashboard?

  Tony : The one red?

  Lonigan : Yeah. What's it say?

  Tony : Says it's hot.

  Lonigan : And?

  Tony : We stop to let the engine cool down, huh?

  Lonigan : [sarcastically]  Fantastic.

• Lonigan : [Lonigan and Tony are waiting impatiently for their food at the A&W Drive-in]  How long have we been waiting for? Twenty minutes? Maybe even a half-hour?

  Lonigan : I forgot what the hell we ordered.

  Tony : Just a couple burgers.

  Lonigan : Jesus! They got two speeds, slow and stop, in this town.

• Tony : [Tony and Lonigan is staking out the body shop]  Hey, shouldn't we go in after them?

  Lonigan : What happened the last time we involved a joint that was full of people?

  Tony : Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. What the hell are they doing in there, anyway?

  Lonigan : What's the sign on the building say, Tony?

  Tony : [looking into binoculars]  Auto Painting.

  Lonigan : They're painting the car, Tony.
