Rico Angelo : [to Farrell] Maybe you've heard of Cookie?
Thomas Farrell : Oh, everyone's heard of Cookie. Youngest punk in Illinois ever to beat a murder rap. 16, weren't you, Cookie?
Cookie La Motte : [pointedly] 15 and a half.
Thomas Farrell : [with false politeness] *Excuse* me.

Thomas Farrell : [Giving his advice, regarding a possible indictment of Cookie by special investigator lawyer Jeffrey Stewart] Get out of town, Cookie. If possible, get out of the state. You haven't got a prayer.
Cookie La Motte : [Nonchalantly] No? Why?
Thomas Farrell : Too many witnesses against you.
Cookie La Motte : "Witnesses"? For instance?
Thomas Farrell : Well, to name a few, Manny Nichols, for instance. Saul Horseman, for instance. Frank Canneri. Lippy Burke. There's quite a list. I can't remember all of them.
Cookie La Motte : [Starts to laugh mockingly] Witnesses? Those guys are dead!
Thomas Farrell : [Soberly] That's what I mean, Cookie. Any investigator in his right mind knows who buried 'em.
