  • [Shooter's wife Melba is altering a jigsaw puzzle piece with a nail file] 

    Shooter : Melba, why do you do that?

    Melba : So it'll fit, stupid.

    Shooter : No, I'm not talking about that. What I'm asking is... do you, uh, have to cheat at everything?

    Melba : At everything?

    Shooter : Yes. At... solitaire. I've yet to see you play one game of solitaire without cheating.

    Melba : So what?

    Shooter : Look, you're just cheating yourself, don't you understand? You'll be the loser, no one else but yourself!... You've ruined the puzzle, now, that doesn't go in there.

    [She forces the altered piece into place] 

    Melba : Does now.

  • Melba : Why don't you make us a drink. You know where it is. All that dust at the pit. I always feel so dirty after one of those things.

    Cincinnati Kid : Brings out the best in you, Melba.

  • Pig : Can't live with them and can't live without them, huh, Kid?

    Cincinnati Kid : Yeah, that's right, Pig.

    Pig : Don't lose no sweat, Kid. Mine left me too.

    Melba : I wonder why.

  • Christian : You'll never guess where we've just been.

    Cincinnati Kid : Stag movies?

    Christian : We went to Turkish baths and we had rubdowns and everything!

    Melba : Yeah. You should have been there.

    Christian : Yeah!

  • Melba : He's got him! He's got him! Looks like you're gonna owe us some money, fat boy!

    Pig : Don't spend it, baby. Don't spend it!

  • Christian : Well, you and the Shooter are married. Now, that's somethin'.

    Melba : It's nothin'. Believe you me, honey, it's nothin'.

  • Melba : [Cincinatti Kid slaps her butt]  Ouch. You Bastard!

    Cincinnati Kid : Cheers baby.

    Melba : I hope you lose.

  • Christian : [looking at a swim suit window display]  Would you really wear a thing like that?

    Melba : Why not? I got nothin' to hide. Hey, I bet you'd look good in one too.

    Christian : Oh, no, I couldn't. I just couldn't wear that!

  • Melba : I keep forgettin'. You like to steam, don't you, Shooter?

  • Melba : You ever been to the - Turkish bath?

    Christian : Turkish baths? French movies? I don't know about you, Melba.

    Melba : Well, then, come on and find out. The Turkish bath leaves *nothin'* to the imagination.

    Christian : But I wouldn't know what to do in a Turkish bath.

    Melba : But that's what's so marvelous. You don't do anything. They do it to ya. Come on!

    Christian : They do it to ya?

  • Melba : [phone rings]  Why should I answer? You only get steamed if it's for me.
