Once in the racket you're always in it.

We been on the road for 18 hours... I need a bath, some chow... and then you and me sit down, and we talk about who dies,eh?

Don't you get the idea I'm one of those goddam radicals. Don't get the idea I'm knocking the American system.

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

I am going to St. Petersburg, Florida, tomorrow. Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can. I'm sick of the job-it's a thankless one and full of grief. I've been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor.

All I ever did was supply a demand that was pretty popular.
