- Marv: Metal screams. Something hits me square in the chest. There's no up or down. I don't weigh a thing.
- Marv: [waking up next to a crashed car and a group of dead bodies] How did I get here? What have I done?
- Ava Lord: What does it feel like?
- Dwight McCarthy: What?
- Ava Lord: Murdering an innocent man. Just wanna know what it felt like. Must have been beautiful.
- Dwight McCarthy: What are you talking about innocence?
- Ava Lord: I knew I could count on you. Sex always made you stupid, ready to believe anything.
- [chuckles]
- Ava Lord: You've just made me a very rich woman.
- [points a gun at Dwight]
- Ava Lord: Do me one last favor, lover? Stay still long enough for me to blow your brains out.
- Sally: Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
- Dwight McCarthy: [stops punching Joey] Nobody's killing anyone.
- Sally: Then can I have a ride?
- Senator Roark: [poker scene] I favored your mother, she was a whore, and not a very good one.
- Johnny: She was an angel.
- Johnny: - I'm all in...
- Senator Roark: - Call...
- Senator Roark: [shows: Four Kings]
- Johnny: [shows: Four Aces]
- Johnny: See, I told you, I never lose.
- Johnny: I beat you, twice. That means I'm better than you are, and everybody knows it because I beat you again. Every time somebody tells this story - and they'll all say they won't tell it but they will - That's the story that will be told, again and again until you're dead... and after you're dead. I beat you forever.
- Johnny: And they all know what happens when you do.
- Senator Roark: [pulls out gun] Say hello to your mama. She always was a stupid bitch.
- [shoots Johnny in the center of his forehead]
- Senator Roark: If I could give any young man advice it'd be this: Always wear a rubber.
- Senator Roark: Now take out the trash! Let's get back to the game!
- Marv: [to Dwight] Here we are pal. All of sudden this doesn't look like the brightest idea you ever had, huh?
- Marv: What have I done, and why? I must have forgotten my medicine. I've got a condition. It's bad to forget your medicine when you've got a condition.
- Dwight McCarthy: I've taken a beating before, but never anything like this. Never like this.
- [punch echoes]
- Dwight McCarthy: The sounds go wet. Maybe he keeps hitting me, I don't know. I'm gone. Gone to that place where there's no pain or thought. I wake up in mid air. The pavement rushes up to give me a big sloppy kiss.
- Senator Roark: I'm holding a gun on you, young lady. The rules are, you pretend there's a chance I *won't* shoot you.
- Dwight McCarthy: You're insane.
- Ava Lord: No, Dwight. A crazy person would be anyone who belives me. And that would be you.
- Dwight McCarthy: Ava...
- [gets shot out of window]
- Ava Lord: [looks out window and sees that he is still alive] Damn.
- Senator Roark: Frankly, between you and me, I've finally accepted that Ethan was not presidential material. I'd have had a hard time buying him an election in an insane asylum. But he was my son, honey. He was my son. And now... he's gonna hear you scream. Scream.
- [from the movie on Nancy's television]
- Sam: You shot me in the gut.
- Sam's Friend: It wasn't me, Sam. It was the babe.
- Sam: This rotten town... it soils everybody it touches.
