Richard "Curly" Hoff She is a lush, the lady...after she bends the elbow a few times, she begins to see things—rats, roaches, bats, you know...a sock in the kisser is the only thing that will bring her out of it.
Deputy Sawyer Down in the lobby, I ran up against these two. [indicates Toots and Curly] Well, they didn't look right to me, so I asked them a few questions. By the way they answered me, I knew there was something fishy. So I put in a call to Ben Wade, but before I could get through, the lights went out on me. I woke up in there. Rocco was standing over me. I recognized him right away from the pictures. I made a break for the door, and the lights went out again.
I'm the electrician.
Gaye Dawn [finishes her song and goes over to the bar]
Give me that drink now, Johnny.
No.
Gaye Dawn Johnny!
Gaye Dawn But you promised!
So what?
Gaye Dawn You said that...
But you were rotten.
Are you thieves or what? You want money, is this a robbery?
Yeah, Pop, we're gonna steal all your towels.
Thousands of guys have got guns. There's only one Johnny Rocco.
How do you account for it?
He knows what he wants. Don't you, Rocco?
Sure.
What's that?
Tell him, Rocco.
Well, I want uh ...
He wants more, don't you, Rocco?
Yeah. That's it. More. That's right! I want more!
Will you ever get enough?
Will you, Rocco?
Well, I never have. No, I guess I won't. You, do you know what you want?
Yes, I had hopes once, but I gave them up.
Hopes for what?
A world in which there's no place for Johnny Rocco.
Ralph Feeney Hey Curly, what all happens in a hurricane?
Richard "Curly" Hoff The wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land.
And singin' this song: Rain rain, go away, little Ralphie wants to play.
[praying]
Make a big wave. Send it down on us. Destroy us all if need be, but punish HIM.
[to Frank]
If you want to find out how good you are at taking it, we'll accommodate you. But let me warn you. Toots is a little rusty. Might slip. And that'd be tooo baaad.
[to Johnny Rocco]
You’re right, you shouldn’t have been deported, you should have been exterminated.
After living in the USA for more than thirty-five years they called me an undesirable alien. Me. Johnny Rocco. Like I was a dirty Red or something!
Charlie! Charlie Winook and his family, Crawfish Island. Charlie's a prince of the Seminole Nation. His ancestors go back to the gods. He sells sea shells by the sea shore.
Nothing to stop me from wiping you all out!
One Rocco more or less isn't worth dying for!
When your head says one thing and your whole life says another, your head always loses.
