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.
