• Gail : I'm trying to be so optimistic. Then I think... why should I be so optimistic? Yeah, I had a dream... but now I'm awake... and I hate my dream. Maybe it's time I started thinking about doing something else.

• Carlito : Hey lady, I know you.

  Gail : Buzz off.

  Carlito : Yeah, I know you, you used to go out with that good-looking guy, what was his name again? Oh yeah, Carlito Brigante.

  Gail : [turns around]  Charlie?

• Gail : Charlie, where's my cheesecake?

• [after Carlito has made his decision on helping David out] 

  Gail : [crying]  That's the last time I wipe up your blood!

• Gail : That doesn't sound like you.

  Carlito : It doesn't? Really?

  Gail : You never talked like this before.

  Carlito : Never felt like this before. It's a funny thing. This guy, this counselor at Lewisburg... Mr. Seawald, once said to me: Charlie, you run out of steam. You can't sprint all the way. You gotta stop sometime. You can't buck it forever. It catches up to you. It gets you. You don't get reformed... you just run out of wind.

  Gail : I'd better go.
