Judge

Mr. Racine, the next time you come into my courtroom I hope you've got either a better defense, or a better class of client.

I'm really disappointed in you, Racine. I've been living vicariously off of you for years. You shut up on me now, all I have is my wife.

Teddy Lewis

I got a serious question for you: What the **** are you doing? This is not shit for you to be messin' with. Are you ready to hear something? I want you to see if this sounds familiar: any time you try a decent crime, you got fifty ways you're gonna **** up. If you think of twenty-five of them, then you're a genius... and you ain't no genius. You remember who told me that?

Lowenstein

Ned, someday your dick is going to lead you into a very big hassle. That lady may have just killed her husband.

Ned

She's not going to inherit anything by killing me. Besides, maybe she'll try to **** me to death. [He smiles sadly]

My temperature runs a couple of degrees high, around a hundred. I don't mind. It's the engine or something.

Ned

Maybe you need a tune up.

Don't tell me. You have just the right tool.

What are you doing in Pine Haven?

Ned

I'm no yokel, I was all the way to Miami once.

Would you get me a paper towel or something? Dip it in some cold water.

Ned

Right away. I'll even wipe if off for you.

You don't want to lick it?

You're not too smart, are you? I like that in a man.

Ned

What else do you like? Lazy? Ugly? Horny? I've got 'em all.

You don't look lazy.

Ned

Hey lady, ya wanna ****?

Mary Ann

Gee, I don't know. Maybe. This sure is a friendly town.

Ned, this Mary Ann.

Mary Ann

We were just meeting. Ned made me feel very welcome.

Ned

How's the cop business, Oscar?

Oscar

Real good. Always starts hopping in weather like this. When it gets this hot, people try to kill each other.

Ned

I like this place; it's got a nice feel.

You were on top.

Ned

So it could use a better mattress. See to it will you?

Yes sir.

Ned

I need someone to take care of me, someone to rub my tired muscles, smooth out my sheets.

Get married.

Ned

I just need it for tonight.

Ned

Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.

This is a blouse and a skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.

Ned

You shouldn't wear that body.

Ned

You can stand here with me if you want but you'll have to agree not to talk about the heat.

I'm a married woman.

Ned

Meaning what?

Meaning I'm not looking for company.

Ned

Then you should have said I'm a happily married woman.

Ned

Can I buy you a drink?

I told you. I've got a husband.

Ned

I'll buy him one too.

He's out of town.

Ned

My favorite kind. We'll drink to him.

Only comes up on weekends.

Ned

I'm liking him better all the time.

Oscar

Whatcha got for pie today Stella?

Stella

I got cherry, cherry and cherry.

Oscar

Well, what do you recommend?

Stella

I like the cherry.

Oscar

Bring it on.
