- Perry: It doesn't make sense. I mean what happened. It had nothing to do with the Clutters. They never hurt me. They just happened to be there. I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman... I thought so right up to the time I cut his throat.
- Dick: Did you see those guys? They coulda robbed us!
- Perry: What of?
- Perry: It's true! Really true! We're on our way and never coming back. Never! And no regrets.
- Dick: For you. You're leaving nothing. What about my old man... and my mother? They'll still be there when my checks start bouncing.
- Perry: It's nice the way you think about your folks.
- Dick: Yeah! I'm a real thoughtful bastard.
- Perry: [quoting his father] Look at me boy! Take a good look! Cause I'm the last living thing you're ever gonna see!
- [last lines]
- Perry: [his last words] I'd like to apologize, but... who to?
- Perry: I despise people who can't control themselves.
- Perry: That was stupid - stealin' a lousy pack of razor blades! To prove what?
- Dick: It's the national pastime, baby, stealin' and cheatin'. If they ever count every cheatin' wife and tax chiseler, the whole country would be behind prison walls.
- Perry: [to himself, looking in a bathroom mirror] Stick 'em up!
- Perry: Hey, buddy!
- Perry: [realizing he's being watched] How long you been standin' there?
- Dick: Long enough to catch your late late show.
- Dick: Next move... Mexico. Once we beat it out of the country.
- Perry: On what? $43 and a smile and bullshit.
- [First use of the word 'bullshit' in a Hollywood film]
- Dick: You guessed it, chief. It's the smile that does it. Like it says in the commercials, the family that sticks together lives forever.
- Dick: Did you ever hang any paper?
- Perry: I couldn't cash a check, even if it was good!
- Dick: A full day's work deserves a full-course dinner.
- Perry: The condemned ate a hearty meal.
- Dick: I don't know what they ate, but tonight, cheeseburgers
- Dick: What's the matter ?
- Perry: We're the matter! We're ridiculous! You tapping the walls for a safe that isn't there! Tap, tap, tap like some nutty woodpecker... and me, humping around on the floor with my legs on fire and all, stealing a kid's silver dollar. Ridiculous !
- Perry: When you hit the end of the rope... your muscles lose control. I'm afraid I'll mess myself.
- Prison Guard: It's nothing to be ashamed of. They all do it.
