Quotes 

• Bernice : You look at me as if you know me. Do you?

  Lepke : [Smiling]  Do I?

  Robert Kane : Um... Louis, I'd like you to meet... um... Bernice Greenbaum. Bernice, I'd like you to meet Louis Buchalter. He's an old friend.

  Bernice : Well, Bobby's known me all his life. How... how come we've never met?

  Lepke : Um... I was away a lot.

  Bernice : Oh, at college?

  Lepke : Well, sort of. I... uh... got a good education.

• Robert Kane : Look, I don't have to tell you how much I appreciate what you've done for me. You know how much I love you and Bernice.

  Lepke : Yeah, I know. You know this is getting into something more serious. What do you want? Sit down.

  Robert Kane : [He sits]  I want to go to Washington.

  Lepke : You've been subpoenaed?

  Robert Kane : [laughs nervously]  No, I've been offered a job... in the Justice Department

  Lepke : The Justice Department. You're kidding? You want to be a cop?

  Robert Kane : No, I'll be working in the Legal Department.

  Lepke : That's still a cop. Hey, I hope you don't come running after me.

  Robert Kane : Louis, I'm asking you to let me go. I've got one life to live and I just want to see if I can make it on my own, that's all.
