- Bama McCall: Gator, look. Son, I don't hook these chicks. I don't hustle these chicks. I damn sure don't go out on the street and drag them in here. They come in to pay for that habit they got.
- Gator McKlusky: Well, there's money, and then there's money, Bama.

- Gator McKlusky: No, you just collect off it.
- Gator McKlusky: What's she on?
- Bama McCall: She's on Quaaludes. She's on Mandrax. She's on Parest. She's on coke. You name it, son. I mean, if they make it, then that chick'll take it.

- Young Girl: Ain't nobody up here older than sixteen. Bama likes it that way.
- Gator McKlusky: I want to go home.
- Bama McCall: There ain't nothing waitin' on you at home except a whiskey bust.
- Aggie Maybank: You're a schmuck.
- Gator McKlusky: Did you learn that at Vassar?
- Aggie Maybank: Radcliffe.
- Irving Greenfield: Look, I remember when I was a kid in Brooklyn there were guys like Thurman Arnold and Fiorello LaGuardia around. What do you think they'd do now?
- Gator McKlusky: Fiorello who?
- Irving Greenfield: LaGuardia, you putz! He cleaned up New York 35 years ago.
- Gator McKlusky: Oh, yeah? It got dirty again.
- Aggie Maybank: Can I buy you a drink?
- Gator McKlusky: Is a pig's ass pork? 'Course you can buy me a drink. Women's lib, I love it. Just because you buy me a drink, doesn't mean you own me, you know. I know how you are, you turn into an octopus. You women are all alike. You're all animals.
- Gator McKlusky: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Who said that you could make all the decisions? Who said that you could make all the decisions? I should be making the decisions. That was a - that was a good decision that you made there. Wasn't that a good one that she made there?

- Aggie Maybank: [Unbuttons and removes her shirt] ... right off my back.
- Gator McKlusky: Take off Uncle Henry's hat.
- [She removes the hat, let's her hair flow down, and covers her breasts with the hat. Gator kisses her, they embrace and lie down in the sand, still kissing]
- Irving Greenfield: Look at this. I'm riding with a nut named Gator, looking for a putz named Bama! Don't you people have regular names?
- Gator McKlusky: Oh, you mean them intelligent names, like you've got up in New York City? Like "Yogi"?
- Irving Greenfield: We're undercover men, goddamn it! Oh, shit.
- Gator McKlusky: Undercover. You, undercover in Dunston. You're gonna stick out in Dunston, like a bagel in a bucket of grits.
- Smiley: Understand you just got out of the clinker?
- Gator McKlusky: Yeah.
- Smiley: Well, I ain't never been, but I hear there's a whole bunch of queers just crawlin' all over your body up there.
- Gator McKlusky: Yeah, that's what they say.
- Aggie Maybank: Where you going?
- Gator McKlusky: I'm gonna find a massage parlor.
- Aggie Maybank: Wait a minute. Don't you want to talk to Miss Cavanaugh?
- Gator McKlusky: Does she give massages?
