Joan Wright : Well, your philosophy's slightly cock-eyed, Johnny, but I like the way you carry your chin.
Johnny Martin : My chin?
[She pantomines a punch at his chin]
Johnny Martin : Oh, yeah, I get it. You mean I'm always leading with it, Joanie. I'm sorry, I meant Miss Joan. Always talkin' out of turn - that's me sure!

Johnny Martin : [after hearing his parole's been denied] So this is what I've been working for, is it? For three years I've listened to a lot of guff and watched my step every minute because I want to get out of prison and now you're givin' me the business. And you want me to be a model prisoner for six more months and try again? Well, no thanks, mister! I'm simple enough to be a sucker twice from now on? You can take that model prisoner bunk and stuff it in the dismal swamp! I'll tell you what a model prisoner is, you hypocrite! Sure, I'll serve my stretch, every minute of it, but the day I get out, we've got a date, mister, and I'm gonna look you up and spit right in your eye!
