Quotes 

• [a letter mysteriously falls into Blackie's hand and he reads its contents] 

  Blackie : [breaking the fourth wall]  Well, what have we here? "Everything sparkles - from the shimmering sequins on my dress to the crystal champagne glasses Al and I drink from." Hohoho. "It's like a dream, Ivy". Dream? More like a deadly illusion if you ask me. "Come and visit, your loving sister, Fay". Oh, poor Fayzie. I wonder if she remembers issuing this invitation. She'd just as soon forget. You suppose the Café will let her forget? I don't. I think our Fay is about to get the biggest surprise of her...

  [pauses] 

  Blackie : ...big surprise.

• Fay Peronivic : How could you bring my sister here?

  Blackie : *I* did not bring her here.

  Fay Peronivic : Okay. So the *café* brought her here.

  Blackie : No, Fay. Your letters brought her here.

  Fay Peronivic : Those were innocent letters to my kid sister.

  Blackie : Innocent? You told her you were living in luxury with the man of your dreams. See, the problem is, Fay, that there were a string of dream men, each one worse than the one before.

  Fay Peronivic : Okay. You're right... but I didn't want to disillusion her.

  Blackie : Disillusion her? You two ought to write a book together - "Dangerous Men and How to Find Them".

• [Frank, wearing Jesse's distinctive leather jacket, and Blackie are riding in a cab with a police car in hot pursuit] 

  Blackie : Love the jacket.

  [the police start firing at the cab] 

  Blackie : Guess they don't. Of course, someone robbed a liquor store wearing it. Maybe that's it.

• [the café's television set reveals Frank unconscious in an alley] 

  Blackie : Duty calls.

  [Blackie disappears]
