- Mother: I tell you what. Next Sunday, we're all going to get out into the air. I'm gonna take you to Coney Island.
- Charley: I know how you can get rid of Joey.
- Lennie: How?
- Charley: You bury him under the sidewalk then cement it up again. They'd never find the body.
- Lennie: Awww, you'd have to kill him first.
- Harry: Why?
- Charley: It was only an idea.
- Harry: Wait a minute. I got it. We stab him with an icicle. They'd never find the murder weapon. It melts.
- Charley: Where you going to get an icicle in the summertime?
