Quotes 

• Ernie Neuman : I used to think when I got old enough to drink I'd be really living. And then I thought when I had a woman... boy, that'd be it! Well, it looks like death's right up there with livin' these days. Pretty soon, time's all gone. And there ya are eyeball to eyeball with the thing. And you still can't make heads or tails out of... out of anything.

• Ernie Neuman : I guess you're half crazy when you're going to die.

• Leviticus Washington : Are we dead yet?

  Ernie Neuman : No, just out of gas.
