• Slater : What you doin' with such a big ol' dog in New York?

  Burke : Never had a wife.

• [after Slater insults Ingram] 

  Burke : Don't beat out that Civil War jazz here, Slater! We're all in this together, each man equal. And we're taking care of each other. It's one big play, our one and only chance to grab stakes forever. And I don't want to hear what your grandpappy thought on the old farm down in Oklahoma! You got it?

  Slater : Well I'm with you, Dave. Like you said, it's just one role of the dice, doesn't matter what color they are. So's they come up seven.

• Slater : There's only one thing wrong with it.

  Burke : What?

  Slater : You didn't say nothin about the third man being a nigger!
