Joe Mannix
- Angela: What made you tie up with Lytell?
- Joe Mannix: Money.
- Angela: That all?
- Joe Mannix: What else?
- Angela: Hmm, the excitement, the ease of violence, limits of taking chances. Same things that attracted me.
- Joe Mannix: For me, it was strictly business. When a man wants a good life, the organization is the only place to be.
- Angela: You talk around me, not to me.
- Joe Mannix: I always did have a rotten sense of direction.
- Lytell: Find the informer... or run the risk of someone making a case against you to save his own hide.
- Joe Mannix: Meaning I'm included?
- Lytell: Everyone's included.
- Joe Mannix: You're asking me to prove I'm no longer something I never have been.
- Lytell: No. Just prove that what you claim is true.
- Joe Mannix: Under the circumstances, uh, what would that be?
- Lytell: Uh, can't you reach into your hip pocket and pull out proof that says you're not the informer? Or that you could name the right man if you had to?
- Joe Mannix: My hip pocket is empty.
- Lytell: Well, then you have a lot of work to do.
- Joe Mannix: What kind?
- Lytell: Maybe I want you to play peeping Tom when the bagmen make their run to Miami.
- Joe Mannix: What?
- Lytell: [laughs] You see how much you thought you knew, and how little you really did?
- Joe Mannix: I'm clean.
- Lytell: Don't depend on it.
- Joe Mannix: Nobody can touch me.
- Lytell: You're going to have to prove it. Just like everyone else. Because all the others will try to prove they're not the one I'm looking for.
