- Mitch Racine: Mr. Cohen, I swear to God...
- Mickey Cohen: You're talkin' to God, Mitch, so you might as well swear to me.
- Mickey Cohen: You heard of Manifest Destiny? That's when you take what you can when you can. The greasers took it from the redskins and we took it from them. And I'm gonna take it all from you, Jack, and not just because I can. But because this is my destiny. Los Angeles is my fucking destiny, you motherfucker.
- Mickey Cohen: It's like they say, "All good things must one day be burnt to the ground for the insurance money."
- Mickey Cohen: [eating his last meal] I like having only one fork. You never make the wrong decision.
- Jack Whalen: You expecting some trouble, Mickey? You lookin' for some?
- Mickey Cohen: My dog, Mickey Junior... he shits more trouble than you're gonna give me.
- Mickey Cohen: Go back to Chicago and tell them what you saw tonight. You tell them that Los Angeles belongs to Mickey Cohen.
- Mickey Cohen: Whores don't grow trees. They're like mustangs. You gotta catch 'em wild and break 'em before you train them to do tricks.
- Sgt. John O'Mara: Mickey Cohen... you're under the arrest for the murder of Jack Whalen.
- Mickey Cohen: All right lawman, take me in.
- [He puts up his fists to prepare to box]

- Sgt. John O'Mara: -Yeah.
- Mickey Cohen: All right. You're an interrupter of progress. I'm progress, see?
