Fagin
- Fagin: Do you know what I consider the greatest sin in the world, my dear? Ingratitude. That's what you're guilty of. Ingratitude.
- Fagin: [gazing upon Oliver as he sleeps] Look at him. What a shame it is. With his face he could pick old ladies' pockets in church. His face could be a fortune to us.
- Fagin: You're like yourself tonight, Bill.
- [puts his hand on Bill's shoulder]
- Fagin: Quite like yourself.
- Bill Sykes: Well I don't feel like myself when you lay that wicked old claw on my shoulder, so take it away!
- Fagin: A terrible thing, Oliver... hangin'. The dawn... the noose, the gallows, the drop! You don't even have to be guilty, they'll hang you for anything these days, that's because they're so very fond of hangin'!
- Fagin: [watching Dodger and Nancy play cards] Lovely life isn't it my dear?
- Oliver Twist: Yes, sir
- Bet: Sir? You know who you're talking to, do ya?
- Charley Bates: [laughs]
