Steve Thompson
[edit]- A man eats an apple. He gets a piece of the core stuck between his teeth. He tries to work it out with some cellophane from a cigarette pack. What happens? The cellophane gets stuck in there too. Anna? What was the use. I knew that somehow I'd wind up seeing her that night.
- I am different. I never wanted the money - I just wanted you.
Detective Lieutenant Pete Ramirez
[edit]- I should have been a better friend. I shoulda stopped you. I shoulda grabbed you by the neck, I shoulda kicked your teeth in. I'm sorry, Steve.
Other
[edit]- Mrs. Thompson: What makes you think I don't understand? I understand! A girl puts on a piece of silk, and the next thing that happens, a young fellow like you is sure he knows exactly what he's doing.
- Pop: Well, you know how it is. He's divorced, but he's still got her in his bones.
Dialogue
[edit]- Steve Thompson: She's all right, she's just young.
