- V.M. Varga: When I was a kid, whenever I had a nightmare, my mother would sit at the foot of the bed and say a little rhyme. "There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile and he found a crooked sixpence besides a crooked stile, and he bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little crooked house."
- Moe Dammick: See? Simple things... Cause and effect, crime and punishment... Mash a potato, you know what you get?... Mashed potatoes.
- Sy Feltz: That's... We agreed this was the way to... quit while we're ahead... What's the saying? "If you love something, let it go."
- Ruby Goldfarb: "If it comes back, it's yours."
- Emmit Stussy: "If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it."
- Emmit Stussy: I was thinking, maybe you and Ray...
- Sy Feltz: What?
- Emmit Stussy: You and Ray.
- Sy Feltz: Me and Ray? Is that what he's telling you? Varga? 'Cause that's just crazy.
- Emmit Stussy: Is it?
- Sy Feltz: You really think I'm, in the face of all logic, that somehow I decided, me, the partner in a multi-million dollar corporation, that I decided to what, turn on you? Join forces with your leptard brother and his syphilitic floozy, so I could turn millions into thousands? What's the math there?
