• Julian : Dancer is an addict, an addict with a real big habit.

  Sandy McLain : 'H' like in heroin, uh?

  Julian : 'H' like in hate.

• Sandy McLain : [Referring to Dancer]  I knew a guy like him once.

  Julian : No, you didn't. There's never been a guy like Dancer. He's a wonderful, pure pathological study. He's a psychopath with no inhibitions.

• Sandy McLain : [after Julian pours out Sandy's booze]  Look, I drive better with it, you know. I think better, too. It's like medicine for my mind.

  Julian : Your prescription has just been cancelled.
