Quotes 

  • Boy : Fagin, this sausage is moldy!

    Fagin : Shut up and drink your gin.

  • Fagin : [sings]  I'm reviewing the situation / Can a fellow be a villain all his life? / All the trials and tribulations. / Better settle down and get myself a wife! / And a wife would cook and sew for me, / And come for me, and go for me, / And go for me, and nag at me, / The fingers, she would wag at me. / The money she would take from me. / A misery, she'll make from me... I think I'd better think it out again!

  • [last lines] 

    Fagin : [singing]  Can somebody change? It's possible - maybe it's strange, but it's possible. All my dearest companions and treasures, I've left them behind/ I'll turn a leaf over/ and who can tell what I may find?

    [he starts to walk towards London Bridge when Dodger appears behind a post-box] 

    Fagin : Yes? Young man? And do I have the honor of your acquaintance?

    [Dodger shows him a wallet he has just stolen] 

    Fagin : Lined?

    Dodger : Only the best. Lovely workmanship, ain't it?

    [Fagin takes the wallet, looks inside and smiles] 

    Fagin : [sings]  I'm reviewing/ the situation...

    Dodger : Once the villain, you're a villain to THE END!

    Fagin : Your light fingers.

    Dodger : Your inspiration.

    Fagin , Dodger : What a team!

    Dodger : Am I your partner?

    Fagin : More a friend. For your talents are employable/ so make your life enjoyable/ a world with pockets open wide/ awaits your whim to grope inside...

    Dodger : Collections undetectable...

    Fagin : We might retire respectable!

    Dodger : Together till our dying day!

    Fagin : The living proof that crime can pay!

    Fagin , Dodger : I think we'll have to think it out again! Hey!

  • Nancy : I thieved for you when I was half his age and it's your dirty work I've been doing ever since.

    Bill : Well if you have it's a living ain't it?

    Fagin : Yes, a living is a living.

    Nancy : Some living, Lord help me, some living!

  • Fagin : We must have civil words, Bill. Civil words.

  • Fagin : [sings]  In this life, one thing counts / In the bank, large amounts / I'm afraid these don't grow on trees, / You've got to pick-a-pocket or two / You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys, / You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.

    Boy : [sings]  Large amounts don't grow on trees. / You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.

  • Fagin : Careful Bill, please, no violence!

  • Fagin : [singing]  A wife you can keep, anyway/ I'd rather sleep, anyway.

  • Fagin : [Pointing to the blood stain]  There's *blood*... on your coat, Bill!

  • Fagin : [to Oliver]  Delighted to see you looking so well my Dear! The Dodger will give you another suit for fear you will spoil that Sunday one!

    Dodger : [Finding Oliver's money]  Cor! Look at this!

    Fagin : [to Oliver after taking the money]  I'll bank it for ya.

    Bill Sikes : What's that? That's mine Fagin!

    Fagin : Oh no my Dear. Mine! Ours! You shall have the books.

    Bill Sikes : You hand it over you old skeleton!

    [Fagin reluctantly Bill the money] 

    Bill Sikes : . That's for our share of the trouble. You keep the books. Start a library.

  • Fagin : [Fagin and the boys are abandoning their hideout as the mob closes in. However, Bill Sikes is determined to escape at all costs using Oliver as a hostage]  Bill! Why make things worse? Leave him!

    Bill : [holding Oliver in front of him]  It's me, they're after! But they won't go for me! Not with the boy close, they won't. So, you keep out of this.

    Fagin : [to the boys]  Out the back way, come on!

  • Fagin : If you go on the way you started, you will be the greatest man of all time. Sweet dreams, Oliver.

  • Fagin : Carry cash, at this time of night? All those thieves and robbers lurking in dark alleyways? I wouldn't dare.

  • Fagin : Nancy's waiting, give you a good supper.

  • Dodger : You promised we could go and see the hanging.

    Fagin : Be sure it ain't your own.

  • Nancy : Fagin, I'm waiting.

    Fagin : Waiting, my dear? What for?

    Nancy : Bill will give you what-for if you don't fork out. Now come on, hand over, start counting.
