- Fred: This is a very tight town. I only do business with the people I *do* business with. If the people I do business with find out I do business with the people I don't do business with - I can't do business with you.
- Chrissie: I don't mind that Dave's dead. It just means he'll be reincarnated sooner, that's all.
- Grace Pinza: You mean Cookie's coming back?
- Chrissie: Sure! Everything comes back.
- Joseph: Everyone, listen to me! The players are coming to the casino in teams. One sits here, one sits there. The cards are good. The player at the first base spills his drink. Your eye moves. The player at the third base triples his bets! They have a *million* clever ways of trying to cheat you. Focus! Concentrate! Concentrate. Concentrate.
- Grace Pinza: I came here during the war. Betty Grable look-alike contest. The boardwalk filled with hundreds of Betty Grable look-alikes - from all over America - selling war bonds.
- Young Doctor: Mrs. Matthews, you can claim the body tomorrow.
- Sally: [walking away to the exit] I don't want the body!
- Lou: I made love to this woman today.
- Sally: Daddy, please!
- Lou: I held her in my arms. I made her happy.
- Bus Driver: Let's not be naughty.
- Sally: [to Lou] It's gonna be okay.
- [to Bus Driver]
- Sally: That's alright. It's alright.
- [to Lou]
- Sally: It's gonna be alright. We'll take good care of you.
- Lou: I'm dangerous! People come to me from Las Vegas! I know Bugsy Siegel! I was his cellmate!
- Singer in Casino, Singer in Casino, Singer in Casino: [singing] Goodbye little chicks, We are leaving the sticks, We are catching a train at a quarter to six, So if anyone should drop around, Won't you please tell them, That we can be found On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, We will walk in a dream, On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, Life will be peaches and cream...
- Grace Pinza: Lou, you're late again! Peppy's very nervous. Peppy knows he's got an appointment. Here I am ringing this bell like Charles Laughton in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Is that what you want from me? To become a hunchback ringing for you?
- Grace Pinza: I always wanted shoes with - clear plastic heels you could see through with - live goldfish swimming in them. Wouldn't that be swift? Have to walk so delicate.
- Joseph: Did you like the music? Marvelous music - "Norma Casta Diva." The chaste goddess worshipping the moon.
- Grace Pinza: Lou, you get back here. You've got to push the blood back in my feet.
- Lou: I'll be right back.
- Grace Pinza: Lou, come back!
- Grace Pinza: If you leave me alone with her, I'm gonna kill you Lou.
- Lou: Grace, will you listen for just once. This is not medicine.
- [exits]
- Grace Pinza: I'm still a very important woman in this town. I'm Cookie Pinza's widow! He used to deliver coffee for Cookie. He's my servant.
- Chrissie: Do you know that your whole body ends at the bottom of your feet? You think I am just poking your feet. Well, when I touch this spot here...
- Grace Pinza: Lou.
- Chrissie: This is where your spine is.
- Grace Pinza: Lou!
- Chrissie: When I touch this spot here, this is where your tummy is.
- Grace Pinza: *Lou!*
- Lou: It's all shit now. It's a shame you never saw Atlantic City when it had floy floy. Remember the song, "Flatfoot Floogie with the Floy Floy"?
- Dave: No.
- Lou: Hep cat and zoot suit. That was the floogie part.
- Dave: Yeah?
- Lou: The floy floy. That was something special. Atlantic City had floy floy coming out of its ears in those days. Now it's all so goddamn legal. Howard Johnson running a casino. Tutti-frutti ice cream with craps don't mix.
- President of Hospital: I have a vision of the future: This glorious island of Atlantic City - shining like a beacon whose light was nearly extinguished. If it wasn't for the casinos, we'd have been dead a long time ago. And so I accept with great pleasure this check from all the casinos. Thank you, Mr. Goulet.
- Robert Goulet: You're welcome, Doctor. I want to thank the people whose money I had for a while. Last night I was lucky at the tables but on the way home, on the boardwalk, I was mugged by my own croupier!
- Robert Goulet: [singing] Just flew into town tonight, Lady Luck was on our flight, Had a bite to eat, At Gino's down the street, And now this welcome site, Glad to see you're born again, Atlantic City, my old friend...
- Lou: You like Miami?
- Sally: I'm thinking of going to Monaco.
- Lou: Oh, Monaco! That's the place with that Kelly girl from Philadelphia. She's the queen of, huh?
- Sally: Yeah, they have a casino there, very elegant. No women dealers yet, but I'm hoping. Only now I'm learning about music and I'm gonna start reading books. You know, developing some style. Learning languages; because, I really want to travel.
- Lou: You - thinking of leaving Atlantic City?
- Sally: Not for a couple of years. I've got to develop my blackjack. I'm gonna deal my way to Europe, to Monte Carlo.
- Lou: A regular Princess Grace!
- Sally: What do you do when you watch me?
- Lou: I look at you. You take off your blouse, then you run the water. Then you take a bottle of gold perfume and put it on the sink. Then you slice the lemons. You open a box of blue soap. You run your hands under the water to feel the temperature. Then you take the soap in your hands and...
- Grace Pinza: You didn't protect her. What's your life worth? Cookie had more manhood in his toupee, than you've got in your fat frame.
- Bus Driver: Your daughter will care for you.
- Lou: I got no daughter.
- Bus Driver: Let's not be naughty.
- Sally: Come on, Pops.
- Alfie: Hey, foxy grandpa. It's over now. I want the money. Come on. You know what I'm talking about. Give me the money. Give me the money - now.
- Chrissie: You look after people good.
- Grace Pinza: I never had to look after anybody. I was a princess!
