Quotes 

• Ralphie : Hey Curly, what all happens in a hurricane?

  Curly : The wind blows so hard the ocean gets up on its hind legs and walks right across the land.

  Toots : And singin' this song: Rain rain, go away, little Ralphie wants to play.

• Toots : On the level, Boss, were you that big?

  Curly : On the level, are you that dumb?

• Ralphie : I hear that a hurricane blows off roofs, uproots trees and puts the snatch on people. And they all go flyin' around in the sky together. Is that right?

  Curly : Absolutely.

• Johnny Rocco : [Nora has caught his attention]  Some little wildcat. I knew one like you a long time ago. Scratched, kicked, bit. Regular hellion. She even stuck a knife in me once. Irish kid. Little and kind of skinny she was, but a real fireball. Her name was Maggie Mooney. But for "professional" reasons, I had her change it to Gaye Dawn.

  Curly : She was a knockout in those days.

• Toots : Hey, boss! Hey, hey, boss!

  Johnny Rocco : What's the matter?

  Toots : The boat's gone!

  Johnny Rocco : [Rocco and his henchmen all run out to look]  What?

  Johnny Rocco : [referring to the hired boat skipper]  He did it. I told him I'd kill him, but he did it just the same.

  Curly : Maybe he'll come back now the storm's over.

  Johnny Rocco : No.

  Toots : Why not?

  Johnny Rocco : Because he believed me when I told him I'd kill him.
