Quotes 

• Yvonne Biasi : Because of me, you have nothing.

  Charlie Lang : Because of you, I have you.

• Charlie Lang : Our favorite Korean's getting robbed right now.

  Bo Williams : You serious?

  Charlie Lang : First he tells me his wife has the flu...

  Bo Williams : Aw, man, that bitch would work if she was dead.

  Charlie Lang : Then he gives me coffee for free.

  Bo Williams : Shit. He is getting robbed.

• Charlie Lang : [about Muriel]  It's like we're on two different channels now. I'm CNN and she's the Home Shopping Network.

• Charlie Lang : I told you I'd share my ticket. I never planned on sharing my heart. Maybe I could get lucky twice today.

• Charlie Lang : Muriel was the first girl I ever...

  [Implying she was the first person he ever had sex with] 

  Yvonne Biasi : Really?

  Charlie Lang : Yeah.

  Yvonne Biasi : [sincerely]  That's sweet.

  Charlie Lang : I guess. So we went down to the marriage license bureau, and I remember there was this other couple there. They were orthodox Jews. It was an arranged marriage. They weren't allowed to see each other. They were surrounded by their families, they couldn't get a glimpse of each other. I couldn't help but think, "they don't even know they're attached to each other, they don't even know if they've got anything to talk to about with each other." And here it is, ten years later. I bet they're happily married with six cute little kids, and Muriel and I have nothing to say to one another.

• Muriel Lang : One bedroom in Queens is not my idea of living.

  Charlie Lang : One bedroom in Queens is fine. If we had kids... if we had kids, that'd be another story.

  Muriel Lang : We don't have the money to have kids.

  Charlie Lang : Of course we have the money to have kids. Cops have kids. Firemen have kids. If only rich people had kids, there wouldn't be public schools.

• Charlie Lang : Meatball! That's what I want!
