Richard 'Curly' Hoff
- Johnny Rocco: [Nora has caught his attention] Some little wildcat. I knew one like you a long time ago. Scratched, kicked, bit. Regular hellion. She even stuck a knife in me once. Irish kid. Little and kind of skinny she was, but a real fireball. Her name was Maggie Mooney. But for "professional" reasons, I had her change it to Gaye Dawn.
- Curly: She was a knockout in those days.
- Toots: Hey, boss! Hey, hey, boss!
- Johnny Rocco: What's the matter?
- Toots: The boat's gone!
- Johnny Rocco: [Rocco and his henchmen all run out to look] What?
- Johnny Rocco: [referring to the hired boat skipper] He did it. I told him I'd kill him, but he did it just the same.
- Curly: Maybe he'll come back now the storm's over.
- Johnny Rocco: No.
- Toots: Why not?
- Johnny Rocco: Because he believed me when I told him I'd kill him.
