Quotes 

• Julian : When you live outside the law, you have to eliminate dishonesty.

• Julian : Dancer is an addict, an addict with a real big habit.

  Sandy McLain : 'H' like in heroin, uh?

  Julian : 'H' like in hate.

• Julian : [Contemplating not murdering Bradshaw and her daughter]  Are you that wise? I hope so for the sake of you both.

  Dorothy Bradshaw : Yes, I'll do whatever you say.

  Julian : I'm personally very pleased with your decision because in my profession there's one thing i dislike and that's hearing someone's last words.

  [Knowingly to Dancer] 

  Julian : You know, famous last words.

• Sandy McLain : [Referring to Dancer]  I knew a guy like him once.

  Julian : No, you didn't. There's never been a guy like Dancer. He's a wonderful, pure pathological study. He's a psychopath with no inhibitions.

• Dorothy Bradshaw : [while being held captive, in distress]  What kind of men are you?

  Julian : See, you cry. That's why women have no place in society. Women are weak. Crying's aggressive and so's the law. Ordinary people of your class, you don't understand the criminal's need for violence.

• Sandy McLain : [after Julian pours out Sandy's booze]  Look, I drive better with it, you know. I think better, too. It's like medicine for my mind.

  Julian : Your prescription has just been cancelled.

• Sandy McLain : How does it feel to make five G's in one day?

  Julian : Dancer derives no particular feeling from it.

  Sandy McLain : [Sarcastically]  Oh, not too much!

  Dancer : [With apparent disdain]  I've been watching you. McLain. You've been comin' on big, I don't like that.

  Sandy McLain : [Defensively]  Look, I just...

  Julian : Please, we prefer as little conversation as possible from outsiders. Dancer works better that way. You didn't know before - now you do.

• Julian : [Closing steamroom door after being invited in by Warren]  Steam!

  Julian : Don't stay in there too long. It opens the pores.

  Dancer : [Chuckling]  Heh-heh. That's a yock!

  Julian : [Disdainfully]  A yock?

  Dancer : O.K, O.K., That's amusing.

  Julian : Better... nuch better. Yock's a crude word.

• Julian : [Surveilling a man at a meet]  How do we know thats him?

  Sandy McLain : He's wearing horned rim glasses ain't he? He's wearing a trench coat ain't he, with the collar turned down? No, it's got to be him, because who wears a trench coat with a collar turned down?
