Quotes
-
Gentleman Johnny : Good morning, Katherine, my girl.
Kathy Richards : What are you doing here?
Gentleman Johnny : I've got an early morning appointment with Paul. Not wanting to miss it, I decided to...
Kathy Richards : Sleep here last night.
Gentleman Johnny : Exactly.
Kathy Richards : I'd better call Paul and wake him up. Otherwise it might be a late early morning appointment.
[Paul walks into the office]
Paul Templin : Now there's loyalty for you - spreading the malicious rumor that I'm nothing but a late-sleeping beach boy.
-
Gentleman Johnny : How 'bout that story, my boy?
Paul Templin : Cappy, before you begin, I'm full up on stories about fish, flora, fauna, females...
Gentleman Johnny : And Gentleman Johnny Pace?
-
Gentleman Johnny : Well, I'll be a miserable son of a bob-tailed tuba player. Hello, Grady. You look good.
Grady Fallon : Hello, Johnny. After 30 years, still hoofin' with your two left feet.
-
Gentleman Johnny : Well, if this don't take the licorice jelly bean. So it was you and not Ted all the time.
Grady Fallon : Ted's been dead for nearly ten years.
Gentleman Johnny : Aw, I'm sorry. How did he wind up?
Grady Fallon : A winner. Went straight after he did time. Ended up owning a part of a dry goods company. Died in bed - without his boots on.
Gentleman Johnny : And you?
Grady Fallon : I ended up doing what I said I'd do - finding you.
Gentleman Johnny : Just for old time's sake, of course.
Grady Fallon : What else?
Gentleman Johnny : That's what I'd like to know.
Grady Fallon : There's a couple of reasons - one in particular. I'll tell you after I do what I promising myself the pleasure of doing for 30 years.
Gentleman Johnny : What's that?
Grady Fallon : Beating that grin off your wiseguy kisser.
Gentleman Johnny : Easy, Grady boy. These bones may be a little alcohol rusted, but it will be a chilly day in Lucifer's bailiwick when Johnny Pace can't wipe up the floor with Mrs. Fallon's little boy, Grady.

Jeanette : Thirty years and I'm glad you have.
