Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : If I gotta stay here another day, I'm gonna go nuts! Look, look. I don't belong in heaven - see? I wanna go to the other place.
Mr. Pip : Heaven? Whatever gave you the idea you were in Heaven, Mr. Valentine? This *is* the other place!
[laughs malevolently as Valentine tries to get out of the room, to no avail]

Mr. Pip : [spontaneously appearing behind Rocky] Yes, Mr. Valentine, what can I do for you?
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : [in a fit] Will you stop creeping around?
Mr. Pip : Anything you say, sir.
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : "Anything I say, anything I say." Knock it off, will you!
Mr. Pip : Why? Is something wrong?
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : No, no, nothing's wrong; everything is just peachy! Look, I've been in this dump for a month and I can't stand it anymore!
Mr. Pip : But I don't understand.
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : Alright, I'll spell it out for you, Fats. I'm bored! *Bored*! I mean, there's no excitement around here, no kicks!
Mr. Pip : Yeah, but the gambling, I thought you enjoyed that!
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : I do! But when you win *every* time, that ain't gambling, that's charity!

Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : What's going on here? Where am I?
Mr. Pip : Mr. Valentine, do you remember when we met earlier today? I told you I was in a sense, your guide and you said you needed a guide like a hole in the head.
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : Yeah.
Mr. Pip : Well, as a matter of strict fact, you had a hole in the head only a short time before: a bullet hole.
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : Yeah, that's right. The cops, they... Then I must... I must be dead!
Mr. Pip : Mmm-hmm.
Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine : If I'm dead, then all of this, the joint, the clothes and the booze, then I must be in heaven. Yeah! That's it! That's it! I'm in heaven, right? And you're my guardian angel, something like that?
Mr. Pip : Oh, something like that. Yes, Mr. Valentine.
