Quotes
-
Angela : What made you tie up with Lytell?
Joe Mannix : Money.
Angela : That all?
Joe Mannix : What else?
Angela : Hmm, the excitement, the ease of violence, limits of taking chances. Same things that attracted me.
Joe Mannix : For me, it was strictly business. When a man wants a good life, the organization is the only place to be.
Angela : You talk around me, not to me.
Joe Mannix : I always did have a rotten sense of direction.

Lytell : Find the informer... or run the risk of someone making a case against you to save his own hide.
Joe Mannix : Meaning I'm included?
Lytell : Everyone's included.
Joe Mannix : You're asking me to prove I'm no longer something I never have been.
Lytell : No. Just prove that what you claim is true.
Joe Mannix : Under the circumstances, uh, what would that be?
Lytell : Uh, can't you reach into your hip pocket and pull out proof that says you're not the informer? Or that you could name the right man if you had to?
Joe Mannix : My hip pocket is empty.
Lytell : Well, then you have a lot of work to do.
Joe Mannix : What kind?
Lytell : Maybe I want you to play peeping Tom when the bagmen make their run to Miami.
Joe Mannix : What?
Lytell : [laughs] You see how much you thought you knew, and how little you really did?
Joe Mannix : I'm clean.
Lytell : Don't depend on it.
Joe Mannix : Nobody can touch me.
Lytell : You're going to have to prove it. Just like everyone else. Because all the others will try to prove they're not the one I'm looking for.
