"Watch this, sir." "That's magic." "That is magic, sir." "That's magic, sir." "Magic is what I'm selling." "I'm selling Miracle magic." "Miracle!" "Sir..." "Hello, little lady, how do you do?" "Let me tell you about Miracle solvent." "The name's Harry Greener." "I'm going to give you absolutely free a genuine bottle of Miracle solvent." "Just give me 25 cents to cover costs, two bits, a quarter." " They only cost half that in the store." " What?" "That?" "Take it for nothing." " Maybe this is a better polish."

" If you don't mind me saying so." "She guards it like it was the crown jewels." "But her mother..." "That's another story." "Her mother would open up if you blew at her." "That's right." "The head usher, the booking agent, the Flying Cantini Brothers..." "You name it." "But... if she walked in here this minute, I'd forgive her." "I'd even forgive her that magician bastard she ran off with." "Damn foreigner." "I disremember his name." "You know, I used to blame her for not making it into the big time, but I tell you, you ain't got a chance in hell if you ain't one of them." "You know what I mean?" "They got it all locked up."

"Strictly home cooking!" "What's the point with him?" "He's not Rockefeller." " I'm tired, Tod." " Gable he's not." "He's not even Earle." "I'm in no mood for a jealousy tantrum, Mr Hackett." "It's awfully hard to look down your nose when you got a pimple on it." "Goodnight." "Goodnight, Harry." "What's been going on around here?" "By the way, Pop, I ran into your old friend, Ben Bernstein." "You've been into my make-up again." "I told you, let my things alone!" "He said he might be able to use you in a scene, if you could get off your behind." "The hell with that mocking bastard!" "I knew him when he was..." "polishing spittoons in that nigger bar." "I have to be a dress extra to support you." "Can't even buy an evening gown!" "If you can't buy me an evening gown, I'll find somebody who can!" "You hear?" "Jeepers, creepers Where'd ya get those peepers?" "Jeepers, creepers Where'd ya get those eyes?" "Gosh, all git up How'd ya get so lit up?" "Gosh, all git up How'd they get that size?" "Jeepers, creepers Where'd ya get those peepers?" "Jeepers, creepers" "How they hypnotise" "...with the remains if you'd care to see her." " Maybe I won't bother her right now." " Excuse me." "Oh, Mr Kusich!" "You know what's happened?" " He gave up his whole life for me." " Cut it out!" "We can't leave the remains where they are, can we?" "He was lying there dying and all I cared about was a pimple." "Faye, child, you know my sole concern in this matter is to help and take some of the burden off your shoulders." "There are a few things I have to know if I'm to help." "Did your father have a burial plan?" "Did he leave insurance?" "Well, child, funerals cost money." "Unless you want to let the City bury him." " How much?" " I'd say 200 would cover it." "I'm sure terms can be arranged." "I'll lend it to you." "I'll get the money, Mrs Odlesh." "I'll go right ahead and take care of everything." "Mr Holsepp'll bury Harry." "He does it right." "Can you get me into Audrey's?" "Sure." "I've been telling you." " I was saving it." " For what?" "Are they ugly?" "Close your eyes."

"You think you're the only guy that's been cold-decked by a dumb blonde?" " What's so special about you?" " You're awfully young." "Don't patronise me." "You're a snob." "You're a Bible-thumping, superior snob!" " Don't be mad at me, Toddy." " I'm not mad at you, Homey." "Drink up, sloppy boppy!" "You got what you wanted!" "She's a whore, your business arrangement!"

"In the morning, curled up like a little girl..." "Sometimes at night and she'd say she wasn't angry at me and kiss me goodnight and it'd mean such happiness." "She liked fun, like sunshine in my life." "People need love." "People don't understand that." "Those things you said to me hurt me." "But I wasn't angry, because I understood how mean she could be." "I knew it was hard for her and sometimes she needed more than an old man like me." "But I wasn't angry, because she made me happy." "I never thought what it would be like..." "when she went away." " I'll find her." " No." "No... only if she wanted to come back." "I only wanted her to be happy." "When she smiled I felt good." "It wasn't true what people thought."
