- Anderson: What's advertising but a legalized con game? And what the hell's marriage? Extortion, prostitution, soliciting with a government stamp on it. And what the hell's your stock market? A fixed horse race. Some business guy steals a bank, he's a big success story. Face in all the magazines. Some other guy steals the magazine and he's busted.
- The Kid: Is it right to steal from insurance companies?
- Anderson: Look, when you rob a guy who's got insurance, you're doing him a favor. You're giving him a little excitement in his life, a story to tell. He becomes a more interesting person because you robbed him. You boost the insurance company because the publicity gets people to buy insurance. You do the fuzz a favor because, well, you prove they're necessary and deserving of a big pay boost. And you do yourself a favor 'cause you need the dough.
- The Kid: You believe that?
- Anderson: Its bullshit. It's just dog eat dog, but I want the first bite.

- Mrs. Hathaway: My father was a first-class SOB, and you know it, Kaler!
- [to Duke]
