Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan
- Chita: A woman needs a man. No? And if she's finished with him, then, the only other one is you. And, you are a man, yes?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Well, according to the last census.
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: Do you mean to stand there and tell me I ain't got class? Why, in Duluth, I was billed as the... You tell 'em, Mike.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: The Classy Chassis from Tallahassee. 'Cept she's from Brooklyn, but that don't rhyme with nothin'.
- Chita: You think I make good on Broadstreet, too?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Aw, you're a chinch. You can't miss. You'll probably wind up being another Carmen Miranda.
- Chita: Carmen Miranda? That one who go tiko-tiko-ta, tiko-tiko-ta, tiko-tiko-tiko-ta. Bah! What has she got that I haven't got?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Wait a minute, honey. Don't you want to make with the good luck?
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: Oh, I'm so nervous, I almost forgot.
- [bends over, Mike kicks her behind]
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Hannegan's the name. Michael Francis Hannegan. I own that show down at the Gaiety. I run it and I stage it. And I personally handle this little lady. Any more cracks out of those mugs and I wipe up the theater with 'em.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Okay, so she's Doll Face Carroll and she works in bur-le-que. What difference does that make? She's not just a stripper, she's a personality. Why, in her field, she's the tops!
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Somethin' I learned while browsin' through the encyclopedia, women and carpets - they're much better when you beat 'em regularly. Chew on that for awhile, chum.
- 'Doll Face' Carroll: "Culture", he says. "The unusual approach." What the heck is that?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: If it means what I think it does, I should have pasted him one.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: I see you're wearing your long face tonight, Nick. What's the matter? Is Frankie giving you the brush off again?
- Nicky Ricci: Yeah.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Why don't you try sockin' her, like I told you?
- Nicky Ricci: I couldn't do that, Mike. Why, I couldn't lift a finger to her.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Who said anything about liftin' any finger? Never give her less than five.
- Nicky Ricci: Mike, it worked!
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: Sure. Like I told you, Nicky, that's the way to handle women. Treat 'em rough. Oh, some of 'em, anyway.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: It slapped me in the face.
- Chita: You slapped your own face and you deserve it too.
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: I wish someone like you come call on me. You know who come knockin' at my door?
- Chita: Wolves?
- Michael Francis 'Mike' Hannegan: And milk men. He's a wolf too.
