- Johnny Johnson: I know that you probably hate me. I don't blame you. But believe me, never a day goes by without my thoughts turning to you. Even as I battled stray dogs for scraps of meat in urine-soaked alleys, all I can think of is Lisa Miller.
- Jimmy: So, what have you been up to?
- Johnny Johnson: Well, I'm a wino.
- Jimmy: A wino! Imagine that.
- Johnny Johnson: Last week they elected me king of the winos.
- Jimmy: Did you hear that? King of the damn winos!
- Johnny Johnson: It's eating you inside, isn't it?
- Jimmy: To a crisp. Usually, when I crush someone they stay crushed.
- Joe: If I catch you trying to take over Jimmy's business empire again, I'm gonna have to go Price Mart on you.
- Johnny Johnson: Why's that?
- Joe: Because when I open a can of whoop-ass, it's industrial size.
- [after Lisa rejects Johnny]
- Max Lewis: I thought you were going to be easy on him.
- Lisa: Isn't that what you wanted?
- Jimmy: We wanted you to crush him, not break his heart.
- Max Lewis: He hit rock bottom, and then you dug a hole even deeper than that and pushed him in it.
- Jimmy: [sobbing] That poor, loveable wino!
- Max Lewis: Better find yourself a new roommate, Lisa, because I don't know how you can live with yourself.
