Quotes4

  • Harry Silver: I'd hate to take something as warm as that and turn her into something cold and dead.
  • Harry Silver: Once, centuries ago, there was a French hoodlum called Francois Villon. He was just like me, a no-good crook and a killer, but whenever he was in love, he'd turn into a poet. He wrote some great things. Just listen to this, King. " When death, that cheater of cheats comes knocking, and his voice grows near, where are the snows of yesteryear?" Do you like that, King?
  • Louis Koster: Yeah.
  • [last lines]
  • Harry Silver: Good. Now I think I'll kill you.
  • Harry Silver: Sorry to disturb you King, but I came back to say that I've changed my mind.
  • Louis Koster: About what?
  • Harry Silver: I'm not gonna do it.
  • Louis Koster: What do you mean?
  • Harry Silver: I'm not going to kill that guy.
  • Louis Koster: Why not?
  • Harry Silver: I'm just not in the mood to kill myself.
  • Louis Koster: [laughing] So you like poetry too, huh?
  • Harry Silver: You wouldn't understand King. The only two things that a man should die for or live for are a poem or a woman like Marian.
