Doyle Lonnegan
[to Gondorff]

Not only are you a cheat, you're a gutless cheat as well.

Doyle Lonnegan

You see that fella in the red sweater over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Works a few of the protection rackets for Cunnaro when he's waiting for something better to happen. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd. Because if he ever finds out I can be beat by one lousy grifter, I'll have to kill him and every other hood who wants to muscle in on my Chicago operation.

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

Doyle

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

Floyd

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

Doyle

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

Doyle

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!

Doyle
[runs horrified to the betting booth]

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

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

Doyle
[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.
