- Martin Rome: I had enough of that when I'm a kid. Crummy tenements, no food, no clothes.
- Lt. Vittorio Candella: Oh, save it for the jury, Marty. Who do you think you're kidding? l was brought up in the district too. I've heard that dialogue from you poolroom hotshots ever since l was ten years old. Get hip... only suckers work... don't be a square... stay with the smart money. Let the old man get the calluses digging the ditches. No food... no clothes... crummy tenements. You're breaking my heart, Marty.
- Lt. Vittorio Candella: They'll make a Robin Hood out of a cheap hoodlum like that. The longer he's loose the bigger hero he is.
- Martin Rome: Go away. Don't get mixed up in this.
- Teena Riconti: Oh Marty. Why did you have to shoot? Why did you kill?
- Lt. Vittorio Candella: He's out there somewhere. In an alley, on a roof, looking for a way out. He's not asleep.
