- Richard Connor: Don't worry, I'm not going to make any excuses. It was a dirty business, rotten right from the very beginning to the end. I'm not going to tell you I didn't know what I was doing but, for what it's worth, you were never a part of it. You've got to believe that. The rest of it was a masquerade but where you were concerned, it was real.
- Dell McGuire: Stop it, Dennis. Stop it.
- Richard Connor: It's the truth, I swear it. If it weren't, I wouldn't be here.
- John W. Gamble: Quite desperate for money, aren't you? Take any chance to get it.
- Richard Connor: Any.
- John W. Gamble: By a new twist of fortune, so would I. And I know the way to entice Lady Luck to smile on both of us.
- Richard Connor: Out of which side of our mouth?
- John W. Gamble: What do the gold teeth show?
- Richard Connor: Oh, listen to them. How can you stand it?
- Dell McGuire: [laughs] You get use to the dingos.
- Richard Connor: I don't just mean the dingos. This loneliness, this isolation. This big, awful emptiness.
- Dell McGuire: I've never felt lonely here.
- Richard Connor: Never?
- Dell McGuire: Well, you can feel lonely anywhere. It isn't the place that makes you lonely.
- Richard Connor: I don't belong here. Never will.
- Dell McGuire: Do you know where you belong?
- Richard Connor: Where there's life. Any street in London. Any boulevard in Paris.
- Michael McGuire: [looking over the countryside] Look. Far as I can see. All mine. The work of me luck.
