Quotes 

• Takeo : Pop was an awful pest, especially when he was drunk, but to choke an old guy like that, gee whiz.

  Bobo : Choke?

  Takeo : Yep, that's the way he done it, choked him to death. Just got him by the throat and hung on until it was all over.

• Bobo : You want a drink?

  Mildred : Sure, I'll take a beer.

  Bobo : Bartender, she wants two beers and I want two whiskies!

• Bobo : That's the way it goes!

• Bartender : You think you ought to drink that?

  Bobo : Oh, the night is still early, my friend. This is just the start. I still have many places to go and many things to do, you know.

• Mac : That's my dame you're trying to chisel, and I don't like it. Get up.

  Bobo : "Chisel"? What's that, "chisel"?

• Bobo : You with anybody?

  Mildred : Well, I'm with you, ain't I?

• Anna : Well, you didn't expect me to sell bait in that, did you?

  Bobo : No, but you look funny.

  Anna : Yeah? You'd look funny in that dress too.

• Bobo : Now listen, you. I have a good mind to pop you right in the nose. Wading out there like a kid and getting mixed up with the police. Wait till I get you home, and I'll show you, tootsie. Hmm?

• Bobo : She doesn't seem to be very grateful.

  Nutsy : You'd be surprised, Bobo, how very often most men say that about most women. Almost as often, in fact, as most women say it about most men.

• Bobo : Ah, listen. I have known all kinds of women all over the world... but you're the worst, believe me. I didn't expect you to say thank you... but a man can expect a woman to feel thank you.

• Tiny : One night you get so plastered you can't leave the jerk town. The next night, you're showing off for a lot of kids pulling a no-good dame out of the water.

  Bobo : Well, it's a funny thing, Tiny. Any dame I see, she's no good to you. Why is that?

• Bobo : Ah, you take it too hard. Believe me.

  Anna : Yeah?

  Bobo : Oh, yeah.

  Anna : Yeah, well, I'm gonna tell you a few things. Maybe when I get through, you'Il - you'll understand why I decided to do it last night.

• Bobo : I don't want to know anything about you. We met, I brought you here, you cooked the eggs, and if you smile a little more, I think you'd be a pretty girl. That's all.

• Bobo : Next time, if I see you trying to drown yourself, all I'll do is pour another bucket of water on you. Is that what you want?

• Bobo : Hello, Sunny-side.

• Bobo : You get it?

  Tiny : Sure, I get it.

  Bobo : Then drop it.

• Anna : I'm blowing now.

  Bobo : Oh, yeah?

  Anna : Yeah.

• Bobo : Good luck, Sunny-side.

• Bobo : All my life, others have attached themselves to me, like, uh - like Tiny and the dog here. But I've attached myself to nobody. No place. I'm free. I'll never be tied down. Never.

  Nutsy : Perhaps.

• Anna : Oh, you crazy nut. Come here. Can I kiss ya? Is that against the rules?

  Bobo : Kissing is okay.

  [kiss] 

  Bobo : Hey, hey, hey, hey. Some kissing, but not all.

  Anna : Oh, Bobo.

• Henry Hirota : Today, two bottle sake. All right?

  Bobo : Yeah. Yeah, but I got a partner now.

  Henry Hirota : Oh. Partner. Good to have partner. Very good! Good for you, good for me. Here.

  [hands Bobo the sake] 

  Bobo : She doesn't drink.

  Henry Hirota : Oh, too bad. Maybe you teach.

  Anna : Oh, no. Never mind. Somebody's gotta be able to count these fish.

• Bobo : Why did you come back?

  Anna : Well... why did you look at me the way you did when I left?

  Bobo : Yeah. Right.

• Anna : Bobo, you want me to go?

  Bobo : No.
