Brick

• One man has one great good true thing in his life. One great good thing which is true! I had friendship with Skipper. You are namin' it dirty!

Big Daddy

• What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?

Maggie

• I'm not living with you! We occupy the same cage, that's all.

• One more crack, queenie, just one, and I will not only spit in your eye but I will punch it black and blue!
