Quotes
-
Thorton : Are these the dice you were using?
Mike Barnett : Don't point those at me - they're loaded!
-
Mike Barnett : You're an out-of-towner, Thorton. Before you pushed a parcheesi game, you should have read the penal code.
Thorton : Maintaining a public nuisance. I can afford that, too.
Mike Barnett : That's Section 971, but can you afford Section 995?
Thorton : What's that?
Mike Barnett : It has to do with swindling. Roughly it means that a friend of mine is calling the cops right now.
Thorton : Yeah?
Mike Barnett : Yeah! So you be handy in the morning when the District Attorney institutes a civil suit against you to recover three times what you took from those people out there. That's 995 - can you roll a higher number?

Margaret : [kisses Mike] There. That's all I can afford to pay you.
Mike Barnett : Don't worry - Thorton paid me.
Margaret : What? Well, you earned it.
Mike Barnett : Well, not exactly earned it.
[hefting his loaded dice]
Mike Barnett : Let's say I won it.
