- Josie Veech: Oh, sure, the best time to start looking for a job is 8 o'clock at night, and if you do a good job of looking, you won't get home 'til morning, and the best place for looking is every beer joint and pool hall on Main Street.
- Kenny Veech: I'll take a double.
- Bartender: How can you drink alone on a Saturday night?
- Kenny Veech: I'm getting exclusive, haven't you heard?
- Kenny Veech: What are you doin' home tonight?
- Mary: Lew had to drive to Mayfield. What are you doin' home tonight?
- Kenny Veech: Lew had to drive to Mayfield.
- Kenny Veech: You haven't won a pot all night, Barker.
- Mr. Barker: The cards are against me.
- Kenny Veech: I don't know, you did pretty good when you brought your own deck.
- Mr. Barker: You're not doin' so good yourself, with cards or anything else!
- Kenny Veech: Meanin' what?
- Lew Lentz: [Referring to Kenny] I hate his guts! The arrogant way he walks around like he owns the town, and he hasn't got the price of yesterday's newspaper.
- Kenny Veech: This is a private party!
- Lew Lentz: I just thought I could do something for you, sonny.
- Kenny Veech: Yeah! You can give me a cigarette.
- Lew Lentz: [after he does] Anything else?
- Kenny Veech: Now you can light it!
- Lew Lentz: [he pauses and lights his cigarette] Now you've got all you want. You better go! I don't want you hanging around here! The next time won't be so sociable!
- Kenny Veech: If you said that with a smile, it'd sound better.
- [to Mary]
- Kenny Veech: Let's go!
- Mary: Go where?
- Kenny Veech: I'll take you to your house and swing you on the hammock.
- Gitlo: How about a game of casino?
- Kenny Veech: Ah, I don't feel like.
- Gitlo: Ah, just a couple of hands. I can never sleep until daylight.
