Pickup on South Street

Skip McCoy:
I know you pinched me three times and got me convicted three times and made me a three time loser. And I know you took an oath to put me away for life. Well you're trying awful hard with all this patriotic eye-wash, but get this: I didn't grift that film and you can't prove I did! And if I said I did, you'd slap that fourth rap across my teeth no matter what promises you made!

Skip McCoy:
So you're a Red, who cares? Your money's as good as anybody else's.

Skip McCoy:
You boys are talking to the wrong corner. I'm just a guy keeping my hands in my own pockets.

FBI Agent Zara:
If you refuse to cooperate you'll be as guilty as the traitors who gave Stalin the A-bomb.

Skip McCoy:
Are you waving the flag at *me*?

Capt. Dan Tiger:
You'll always be a two-bit cannon. And when they pick you up in the gutter dead, you're hand'll be in a drunk's pocket.

Skip McCoy:
Pack up the pitch with the charge or drive me back to my shack.

Capt. Dan Tiger:
I'll drive you back in a hearse if you don't get the kink out of your mouth!

Candy:
You've been recommended as the best pickpocket stoolie in the business.

Moe Williams:
What kind of talk is that, calling me a stoolie? I was brought up to report any injustice to the police authority. I call that being a solid citizen.

Candy:
But you get paid for it.

Moe Williams:
You gonna knock it?

Moe Williams:
You got any Happy Money?

Candy:
Happy Money?

Moe Williams:
Yeah, money that's gonna make me happy.

Moe Williams:
What's the matter with you? Playing footsie with the Commies!

Skip McCoy:
You waving the flag, too?

Moe Williams:
Listen, I knew you since you was a little kid. You was always a regular kind of crook. I never figured you for a louse.

Skip McCoy:
Stop, you're breaking my heart.

Moe Williams:
Even in our crummy line of business you gotta draw the line somewhere.

Moe Williams:
I have to go on making a living so I can die. But even a fancy funeral ain't worth waiting for if I've gotta do business with crumbs like you.

Moe Williams:
I've got almost enough to buy both the stone and the plot.

Capt. Dan Tiger:
If you lost that kitty, it's Potter's Field.

Moe Williams:
This I do not think is a very funny joke, Captain Tiger!

Capt. Dan Tiger:
I just meant you ought to be careful how you carry your bankroll.

Moe Williams:
Look, Tiger, if I was to be buried in Potter's Field, it would just about kill me.

Joey:
You'd sell anybody for buttons.

Moe Williams:
Yeah, but not to you, Mister!

Skip Mccoy:
[after first kiss with Candy] Sometimes you look for oil, you hit a gusher.

Skip Mccoy:
[to Capt. Tiger] You're sittin' on a hot rock. I'd like to see you jump!

Moe Williams:
Listen, Mister. When I come in here tonight, you seen an old clock runnin' down. I'm tired. I'm through. Happens to everybody sometime. It'll happen to you too, someday. With me it's a little bit of everything. Backaches and headaches. I can't sleep nights. It's so hard to get up in the morning, and get dressed and walk the streets. Climb the stairs. I go right on doin' it! Well, what am I gonna do, knock it? I have to go on makin' a livin'... so I can die. But even a fancy funeral ain't worth waitin' fer if I gotta do bus'ness with crumbs like you.

Moe Williams:
Ask a silly question, you get a dopey look.
