• Fingers Garrison : Glad I bumped into ya, Jimmy - my conscience has been botherin' me.

  Jimmy Donlin : My watch! I thought I'd lost it!

  Fingers Garrison : You're easy. I lifted it outta your pocket last night.

  Jimmy Donlin : Say listen, Fingers, didn't that little stretch you did up the river convince you crime don't pay.

  Fingers Garrison : Crime an' me are strangers these days. You misunderstand me, Jimmy. It ain't pickin' pockets. It's the technique that fascinates me. An' in order to see I ain't lost it, I gotta try it out once in a while on a friend, like you.

  Jimmy Donlin : To make sure you're the artist you used to be, huh?

  Fingers Garrison : Certainly, what's theory without practice?

• Jimmy Donlin : Nice weather we're havin'!

  Mary Trenton : I think it's a little chilly, especially in here.

  Jimmy Donlin : If that's meant for a dirty dig, I gotta tough skin, sister.

  Mary Trenton : I hate to be called 'sister'!

  Jimmy Donlin : OK, sister, anything you say.
