- Max Reno: When the tide comes in, you'll be safe as if you were in your mother's arms. I picked this hideout a month ago. It's a beauty, ain't it? You're a lucky boy, Jim. You should have met me a long time ago.
- Jay Turner: You'll never let me forget it, Reno...
- Max Reno: What?
- Jay Turner: How smart you are.
- Cleo: I came to see you, Mr. York.
- Jay Turner: I don't know why. All I wanted was a room and a bath.
- Cleo: Mr. York, the management only sent you the key.
- Jay Turner: Oh. Thank you.
- Cleo: You're not very nice.
- Jay Turner: Look, miss, I'm just a little old country boy, but I can tell that, whoever you are, you're not the room clerk.
- Jay Turner: Lady, where I come from they have an old saying, "It's not polite to ask a man his business unless you want to die."
- Cleo: From the looks of those scars your manners must stink.
- Jay Turner: Yeah. Yeah, I guess it is bad manners to turn your back on a man.
