The Sting quotes

Page 1 of 2

I'd think you'd get tired of losing, Harrigan.

[going to the betting window]

Blue Note, $2,000 to win, fourth race, Narragansett.

Make sure you see the cash, Eddie. He's got a name for betting money he doesn't have.

Billie

Who told you this guy was in here?

Lt. Snyder

Nobody, I just know what kind of woman he likes. Going to check all the joy houses till I find him.

Billie

Oh, well maybe I could help you, if you tell me his name.

Lt. Snyder

I doubt it. Which way are the rooms?

Billie

Right through there. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

Lt. Snyder

What you are going to do, call the cops?

Billie

I don't have to. You'd be busting in on the Chief of Police just up the hall.

I put it all on Lucky Dan- half a million dollars to win.

Kid

To win? I said place! "Place it on Lucky D-" That horse is gonna run second!

[runs horrified to the betting booth]

There's been a mistake! I want my money back!

Floyd

Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES. He had to make a SWITCH. We can't let him get away with that.

What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?

[drunk]

Glad to meet you, kid - you're a real horse's ass.

Luther said I could learn from you. I already know how to drink.

Tough luck, Lonnehan. But that's what you get for playing with your head up your ass!

The name's Lonnegan, DOYLE Lonnegan! You're gonna remember that, Mr. Shaw, or you're gonna get yourself another game.

You beat him, kid.

You were right, Henry. It's not enough... But it's close.

You're not gonna stick around for your share?

Nah, I'd only blow it.

Can you get a mob together?

After what happened to Luther, I don't think I can get more than two, three hundred guys.

Hey, where's June?

Loretta

She quit. I'm filling in for a couple of days, till I can get a train outta here.

Yeah? Where ya going?

Loretta

I don't know. Depends on which train I get on.

I gave him the breakdown, just like you said.

And?

It's good. He threatened to kill me.

Hell, kid, they don't do that, you know you're not getting to 'em.

I, ah...thought you might wanna come out for a while. Maybe have a drink or somethin'.

Loretta

You move right along, don't ya.

I don't mean nothin' by it. I just don't know many regular girls, that's all.

Loretta

And you expect me to come out, just like that.

If I expected somethin', I wouldn't be still standin' out here in the hall.

Loretta

I don't even know you.

You know me. I'm just like you. It's two in the morning and I don't know nobody.
