• Mary Dwight Strauber : I'm sick of making deals.

  Dorothy 'Gabby' Marvin : Well, you wanna keep on living, don't you?

  Mary Dwight Strauber : If this is what you call living, I don't want any part of it. Always being afraid. Never knowing from one day to the next what's going to happen to you. I'm fed up with being afraid of Vanning or anybody else. There must be some other way for me to live. If there isn't, I... well, I'd just as soon put a bullet in my head right now and end it.

• Emmy Lou : You know, working for Vanning isn't going to be any bed of roses.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : And you don't have to rub it in.

  Emmy Lou : You're gonna work for him?

  Mary Dwight Strauber : Uh-huh, but I'm not getting into his trap, and I'm not taking any chances of getting a slap in the face with a spade, either. You know, we're letting ourselves in for enough as it is. Some will wind up on the short end, but not me, baby. I know all the angles, and I think I'm smart enough to keep one step ahead of them till I get enough to pack it all in and live on easy street for the rest of my life. I know how to beat this racket.

  Dorothy 'Gabby' Marvin : Yeah, how? That's what I've been trying to find out for years.

• Dorothy 'Gabby' Marvin : The doctor outside told me he could fix that scar so nobody would ever notice it.

  Mary Dwight Strauber : I've got things wrong with me that all the doctors in the world can't fix.
