Quotes 

• Joe Sullivan : What do you know about anything? You probably had your bread buttered on both sides since the day you were born. Safe. Safe on first, second, third, and home.

  Ann Martin : That's what you think? Just because I own a car and a tailored suit and my nails are clean, you think I've never had to fight? I got an education, sure. I suppose that means I was born with a silver spoon, doesn't it? My father was a schoolteacher. He died in the war of The Depression. Only he didn't get any medals. Or any bands. Or any bonus. He left three children. You think *you* had to fight? The only way you know how to fight is that stupid way with a gun. Well, there's another way you probably never even heard of. It's the daily fight that everyone has. To get food and an education, to land a job and keep it. And some self-respect. 'Safe'? I never asked for anything safe. All I want is... just a little decency, that's all.

• Joe Sullivan : [being visited in prison by Ann]  Next time you come up, don't wear that perfume.

  Ann Martin : Why not?

  Joe Sullivan : It doesn't help a guy's good behavior.

• Ann Martin : [holding Joe in her arms as he lies mortally wounded]  Joe, darling...

  Joe Sullivan : Hey. Hey, none of that. Don't cry. I got my breath of fresh air.
