- Louis Gendick: D'you ever think of joining another gang?
- Danny Lyons: That'd be running away.
- Louis Gendick: Not the outfit I'm talkin' about. They'll be glad to get ya. They will sooner or later. You'll be fightin' all kinds of bullies.
- Danny Lyons: Like Muggs?
- Louis Gendick: Worse. These bullies are called Japs and Nazis.
- Danny Lyons: You mean the army.
- Louis Gendick: That won't be runnin' away, Danny. That's real fightin'.
- Glimpy McGleavey: Keep swinging. Keep swinging. In case you don't hit the guy, the breeze might give him pneumonia.
- Muggs McGinnis: Only my friends call me Muggs.
- Judge: I don't think you'd know a friend if you saw one.
- [Muggs loses the contest]
- Muggs McGinnis: You're full of perjury! You know that! I won that contest all by myself! I just used the slightest bit of assistance from this young, innocent goil here.
- Klinkhammer: Muggs, I told you before you're disqualified. That means scram.
- Glimpy McGleavey: Ah, Romeo and Cleopatra!
- Danny Lyons: Don't be obnoxious.
- Glimpy McGleavey: This is no time for compliments.
- Muggs McGinnis: As of the fifteen instinct of the month, quote...
- Glimpy McGleavey: Hey, how do you spell "as of?"
- Muggs McGinnis: "As of?" I dunno. Strike it from the records. I, as the president of this club, hereby alone unanimously ostracize Danny Lyons from this club - and if he knows what's good for him, he won't come around anymore.
- Louis Gendick: [watching Muggs] If he was my son, I'd give him an old-fashioned talkin' to - right over m' knee.
- Glimpy McGleavey: [coaching Danny] Yeah, look, this time go in and give him a left cross, a right cross, then give him a Japanese uppercut.
- Beanie Miller: A Japanese uppercut?
- Glimpy McGleavey: Yeah, double cross.
- Muggs McGinnis: Hey, Glimpy!
- Glimpy McGleavey: [swatted awake] What? What?
- Muggs McGinnis: Why don't you get me a partner that'll spar?
- Glimpy McGleavey: Can't. You know no spar partner will get in the ring wit' chu. The minute they're in, they're out.
- Muggs McGinnis: Eh, I'm pretty tough I guess.
- Glimpy McGleavey: Well, you'll hit that kid from the West Side so hard, you'll knock him from the north side to the south side.
- Glimpy McGleavey: Here y'are, ladies and gentlemen, meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis. Muggs is gonna hit Danny Lyons so hard they're gonna count him out in the air. He's gonna give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear - in fact he's gonna make him the only kid in this block with a built-in victory garden.
- Glimpy McGleavey: Boy, ain't this a swell army? Where else could a buck private kiss a second lieutenant and like it?
