Quotes 

• Billie : Who told you this guy was in here?

  Lieutenant William Snyder : Nobody. I just know what kind of woman he likes. Going to check all the joy houses till I find him.

  Billie : Oh, well maybe I could help you, if you tell me his name.

  Lieutenant William Snyder : I doubt it. Which way are the rooms?

  Billie : Right through there. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

  Lieutenant William Snyder : What you are going to do, call the cops?

  Billie : I don't have to. You'd be busting in on the Chief of Police just up the hall.

• Johnny Hooker : I'm looking for a guy named Henry Gondorff. You know him?

  Billie : Nope.

  Johnny Hooker : [double-checking the address Luther gave him]  You sure?

  Billie : Beat it.

  Johnny Hooker : Luther Coleman sent me.

  Billie : Are you Hooker?

  Johnny Hooker : Yeah.

  Billie : Why didn't you say so? We heard about Luther last night. Come on.

  [leading him inside] 

  Billie : I thought maybe you were a cop or somethin'.

• Henry Gondorff : Why didn't you tell me about Snyder before?

  Johnny Hooker : I thought I'd lost him.

  Henry Gondorff : Well, you found him again, and we're gonna have to do something about it. What else haven't you been telling me?

  Johnny Hooker : Nothing. That's all there is.

  Billie : [tending to his wound]  Hold still.

  Henry Gondorff : Why'd you move out of your room?

  Johnny Hooker : [having been shot at by Lonnegan's hitters]  It was too noisy.

  Henry Gondorff : You can't play your friends like marks, Hooker. You know how easy it would be for one of Lonnegan's guys to get you?

  Johnny Hooker : Henry, all we need is a couple of days and we can get the son of a bitch and nail him.

  Henry Gondorff : You just won't learn, will you? Christ, you come in here, I teach you stuff that maybe five guys in the whole world know. Stuff that most grifters couldn't do even if they knew it, and all you want to do is run down a bullet.

  Johnny Hooker : I'm asking for a couple of days, that's all. I can stay clear that long!

  Henry Gondorff : Christ, they'll probably miss you and hit me.
