Quotes6

  • Louie: The monkey is never dead, Dealer. The monkey never dies. When you kick him off, he just hides in a corner, waiting his turn.
  • Frankie Machine: I don't need it is all, I kicked it.
  • Louie: Oh, kicked it... wanna bet?
  • Frankie Machine: I mean it.
  • Louie: Sure, I'll be around.
  • Louie: Why didn't you offer him more money? A piece of the play.
  • Schwiefka: From your end or mine?
  • Louie: What's the difference who's end? Do you expect me to stand here and argue about pennies? Your end!
  • Louie: You know what's eating at you. You shot off the mouth about kicking it for keeps. So now you're ashamed for even thinkin' well, what you're thinkin'. Ain't that right? You know I don't talk about my customers, so who'll be the wiser? Why fight it dealer, for whom, for what? Come over my place. What do you say?
  • Louie: Don't give me lip you cheap little hustler.
  • Sparrow: Hustler, schmustler, I'm legit compared to some. Ain't no fourteen-year-old junkies waitin' around to see me.
  • Louie: Well, what's the angle? What are you and Frankie tryin' to pull? Come on tell me one hustler to another, huh? Go on let me in on it. Let me in on it or I'll queer it for you, d'ya hear?
