• Fred : You look like a fire sale.

  Dave : Look, I've been on the road six weeks. Okay? You clean me up, I'm a fuckin' Prince Charles.

• Dave : Who's the old guy?

  Fred : You mean Lou? He used run numbers for the dinosaurs.

• Sally : Get out!

  Dave : You smell, you know that? Like a can of rotten tuna fish!

• Dave : I'll help your friend.

  Fred : Not lookin' like that, you won't. This is a family town. Better get yourself cleaned up. A nice leisure suit, powder blue. You don't need a tie.

• Lou : It's all shit now. It's a shame you never saw Atlantic City when it had floy floy. Remember the song, "Flatfoot Floogie with the Floy Floy"?

  Dave : No.

  Lou : Hep cat and zoot suit. That was the floogie part.

  Dave : Yeah?

  Lou : The floy floy. That was something special. Atlantic City had floy floy coming out of its ears in those days. Now it's all so goddamn legal. Howard Johnson running a casino. Tutti-frutti ice cream with craps don't mix.

• Lou : I'd feel bad for a while, but I'd jump into the ocean, swim way out. Come back in feeling nice and clean and start all over again.

  Dave : I never seen the Atlantic Ocean till just now.

  Lou : The Atlantic Ocean was something then. Yes, you should've seen the Atlantic Ocean in those days.
