- Dave Negli: Listen, Marty, the last man I killed I did it for $5000. For $85,000 I'd kill you 17 times.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: [naked in bed] Why did you come back?
- McClain: I told you I would. Didn't you hear me?
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: I kept on dreaming. And one morning I woke up. You weren't there. That was the one morning too many. You're not here now, McClain.
- McClain: If I'm not here, what the hell were you just doing?
- [Ellie slaps McClain]
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Why did you come back? Why? You black son-of-a-bitch! You had the whole world to mess up! Why me?
- McClain: Hi Baby. Come here.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: I'm glad you're back. I'm sorry about where you've been.
- McClain: Where have I been?
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: All over television and radio. Oh, there were no names. But the style - that was unmistakable. You're using me, Mac.
- McClain: Alright, let's get something started.
- Detective Lt. Walter Brill: You go first. You'd be harder to see.
- McClain: You know, you're quite an opportunist, Brill.
- [McClain runs off into the night]
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: You want to see me crawl. You want to see me feel so cheap that I can't stand it anymore!
- Harry Kifka: You're walking out on 85 grand?
- Marty Gough: I don't like who I'm working with. I'm talking about you!
- [looks at McClain]
- Dave Negli: Money's green.
- Herb Sutro: You could live here rent free, you know that.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: You get out of here!
- Herb Sutro: No.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Listen to me. He'll kill you.
- Herb Sutro: No.
- Herb Sutro: Look what I got now.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Please. That thing might go off.
- Herb Sutro: Please.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Oh, please.
- Herb Sutro: Please.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Please!
- Herb Sutro: Please.
- Ellen 'Ellie' Kennedy: Please!
- Herb Sutro: Please.
- Bert Clinger: Hey, where do we split?
- McClain: It'll be at Ellie's. I'm not going to carry that stuff around town with me.
- Bert Clinger: Fine. Fine.
- Detective Lt. Walter Brill: Why so little?
- McClain: Because, I take only what's mine. And you don't have too much time, to make up your mind.
- Marty Gough: Who in the hell is he?
- Dave Negli: He's a big - black - idiot.
- Marty Gough: Well, if there's one thing I don't have time in my life for, it's a smart ass nigger!
