- Richie Marks: You know what this is?
- Tommie: It's a gun! It's a gun!
- Richie Marks: Yeah, and you're a fuckin' genius! Now listen up. This gun is clean, no serial number. So if I blow out what's left of your brain and chuck it in the East River, your case is closed. The people downtown are gonna file you under DSAF. "Did Society A Favor." Got it?
- Richie Marks: I know what you're thinkin'! I'm young and quick, and he's old and slow! What are you going to do, asshole?
- [Perpetrator turn & runs away. Marks disgusted with himself]
- Richie Marks: . Dumb fucking question.
- Gail Feinberger: Don't you think it's a little early in the morning for heavy metal?
- Roland Dalton: Gail, Gail, honey, sweetie, I love you, I'm gonna marry you, but you are making me feel very old. This is not heavy metal. This is Hendrix. Genius, maybe, but this is definitely not heavy metal.
- Roland Dalton: Once upon a time all I planned to do was play the tenor sax. Forever. That's it. Fillsville, man. But my dad and everybody said I was a sap, there was no money in it, so I go to law school, and I am here now, gone from another place. But I could play the tenor sax all day and all night. Everything was possible. And I was very certain that at any moment, I was going to find the love of my life.
- Richie Marks: The love of your life?
- Roland Dalton: Yeah.
- Richie Marks: I met the love of my life. Only I killed her dog before I had a chance to tell her. Man she was everything I ever wanted. We met at Shakespeare in the park. Told her I was a lawyer. That line seemed to work for you. Rained like hell in a day. Had an umbrella. We went back to her apartment. She went to the bathroom, I sat on the couch. She had this great big damn dog. The dog had a ball. I threw it. The dog brought it back. I threw it again, harder. I'll never forget the sound of that dog's paws on the newly waxed floors. How was I supposed to know she left the window open? Her dog fell 13 stories, landed on top of a parked car. I went over, leaned out the window, looked down, threw up and left. Left. Without ever telling her she was the one.
- Roland Dalton: Happy is the fleeting hope of youth.
- Richie Marks: Who said that?
- Roland Dalton: Me. I'm gonna take the streets, Richie.
- Richie Marks: Good for you, counselor. Me, too.
- Richie Marks: I met the love of my life... only I killed her dog before I got the chance to tell her. Man, she was everything I ever wanted. We met at Shakespeare in the park. Told her I was a lawyer. That line seemed to work for you. Rained like hell that day. I had an umbrella. We went back to her apartment. She went to the bathroom; I sat on the couch. She had this great big damned dog. Dog had a ball. I threw it. Dog brought it back. I threw it again... harder. I'll never forget the sound of that dog's paws on the newly waxed floors. How I was I supposed to know she left the window open? That dog fell 13 stories, landed on the top of a parked car. I went over, leaned out the window, looked down, threw up and left. Left... without ever tellin' her "she was the one".
- Richie Marks: You just don't get it. Don't fuck with these people.
- Roland Dalton: Richie, I don't want to fuck with them, I just want to dance.
- Roland Dalton: I wanted to tell her. I wanted to but then her dad showed up for lunch.
- Susan Cantrell: Oh, so your guts dried up in the face of Daddy Warbucks?
- Roland Dalton: Now is this gonna be some kind of female territorial doo-wop?
