Quotes7

  • Ned: How's the cop business, Oscar?
  • Oscar: Real good. Always starts hopping in weather like this. When it gets this hot, people try to kill each other.
  • Oscar: Ned, you've messed up before and you'll mess up again. It's your nature. But they've always been small-time. But, this might not be. She's trouble, Ned. The real thing. Big-time, major league trouble. Watch yourself.
  • Oscar: Whatcha got for pie today, Stella?
  • Stella: I got cherry, cherry and cherry.
  • Oscar: Well, what do you recommend?
  • Stella: I like the cherry.
  • Oscar: Bring it on.
  • Ned: I lead a lonely life.
  • Oscar: Right. And it's gonna snow later today,
  • Oscar: We've got more of everything bad since the wave started. It's the crisis atmosphere, you know. People dress different, feel different, sweat more, wake up cranky and they never recover. Look at Lowenstein. Everyhing is just a little askew. Pretty soon people think the old rules aren't in effect. They start breaking them. Figure no one'll care, cause it's emergency time. Time out.
  • Oscar: Do you hear what you're saying? It's crazy! This Matty would have to be one quick, smart broad.
  • Oscar: You brought this on yourself, man. I don't run this department, you know that. There are people watching this thing. They hear you're out there banging the widow; it tends to call attention to you. So don't give me shit.
  • Ned: That is my business.
  • Peter: You mean, that's your fucking business.
  • Oscar: This whole damn case is getting crazy.
