- Skeets Maguire: Pickin' up yellow-haired mice when you oughtta be doing your roadwork!
- Maisie Ravier: Wait a minute, foul mouth.
- Terry Dolan: I, uh, guess you're feeling kind of low, huh?
- Maisie Ravier: I could look a snake in the eye if I had a pair of stilts.
- Jackie-Boy Duffy: I would've thrown the fight rather than have this happen.
- Mrs. Dolan: Don't reproach yourself, boy. Just say a little prayer for him.
- Jackie-Boy Duffy: Yes. I will, you bet. I've been doing it ever since they told me.
- Maisie Ravier: You know, it sure means a lot meetin' someone like you - just when I was beginning to think the wolves had taken over the world.
- Skeets Maguire: I can't understand what a wren like you is doing so far from the sidewalks of New York.
- Maisie Ravier: You listen, tall, dark and bad-mannered. I got no design on your fighters. I have neither the time nor the inclination to take up the part of Cleopatra.
- Maisie Ravier: You know, lookin' back on it, I don't think I ever told a lie in my life and really got by with it.
- Maisie Ravier: Oh, and me kickin' him when he was down. Oh, can you perform a brain operation on me?
- Skeets Maguire: Say, I'd like to see mom, and I wouldn't mind goin' a couple rounds with the Brooklyn bonfire.
- Terry Dolan: He may act tough, but he's all heart.
- Maisie Ravier: Yeah, well maybe an x-ray would change my mind.
- Cecelia Reardon: The train trip always takes so much out of one.
- Maisie Ravier: Yeah. Here's one they took outta the train.
- Skeets Maguire: [On the phone] My wife? What does she look like?
- Maisie Ravier: [Coming in the door] A yellow-haired mouse.
- Skeets Maguire: Maisie!
- Terry Dolan: Now, don't be sore at me. C'mon back.
- Maisie Ravier: Well, I'm not sore at you, you've been more than nice throughout. But, Gargantua is somethin' else again.
- Ricky Du Prez: Whatsa matter, you got a guy you're stuck on?
- Maisie Ravier: No, but there's a guy someplace someday I'm gonna be stuck on.
