- Garage Manager: You must have shot an awful lot of tigers, sir.
- Charlie Croker: Yes, I used a machine gun.
- Charlie Croker: It's a very difficult job and the only way to get through it is we all work together as a team. And that means you do everything I say.
- Charlie Croker: You'll be making a grave error if you kill us. There are a quarter of a million Italians in Britain and they'll be made to suffer. Every restaurant, cafe, ice-cream parlor, gambling den and nightclub in London, Liverpool and Glasgow - will be smashed. Mr. Bridger will drive them into the sea.

- Charlie Croker: Typical, isn't it? I've been out of jail five minutes, and already I'm in a hot car.
- Lorna: Charlie, I just wanted you to come out in style, baby.
- Charlie Croker: What's the matter.

- Yellow: Listen, if I go in the back, I'll get me migraine, I'll be out like a light.
- Charlie Croker: You are not going to be sick. You are not going to have your migraine. And everybody is gonna sit in the back of the motor!

- Professor Simon Peach: Are they big? I like them big.

- Lorna: Charlie, would I tell them anything?
- Charlie Croker: ...Yes you would.
- Tailor: Very elegant, sir; though I do believe you've gained a little weight.
- Charlie Croker: Yes, well, uh, I've been in America, you see. It's the, uh, bread in the hamburger.
- Tailor: Is that so?
- Charlie Croker: Yes.
- Tailor: Well, I'm glad you're out - I mean back.
- Charlie Croker: Why didn't you come and see me when I was inside, then?
- Lorna: Charlie, you know that's not my scene. I mean, can you see me sitting there holding your hands across the table, with those weeping wives around with their howling kids - and then the guards lookin' at me as if I've got something hidden up my dress.
- Charlie Croker: Freddie, this job is big.
- 'Camp' Freddie: Charlie, you wouldn't even know how to spell big.
- Charlie Croker: B-l-G. Big.
