- Tony Stewart: Ma, let me have a good look at you. That's an incredible outfit! Whose mother do you think you are, Whistler's?
- Ma Baker: Never mind. I got you sprung didn't I?
- Tony Stewart: Well, I'm sprung all right, but you could frighten the horses going around looking like that.
- Mervyn: I had a cousin like that once - a real artist. He was in the habit of putting a wart on Jackson's nose, so that the trade would know who had done the plates. Pretty soon the T-Men found out, too. My cousin, he pulled 10 to 20.
- Tony Stewart: What a facinating anecdote. Has a moral, too. If you want to forge ahead, don't change the features.
- Ma Baker: This is the first time you've ever had trouble turning a fast buck.
- Tony Stewart: It's the first time I ever tried turning a fast buck the honest way.
- Mervyn: Rough, huh?
- Tony Stewart: Rough. I've knocked on so many doors, I've got water on the knuckles.
- Tony Stewart: It's not going to bring in the kind of money we need, but I'm going to have to go to work.
- Mervyn: A job!
- Tony Stewart: They go hand in hand, Mervyn.
