• Swan : You recognize them?

  Fox : Orphans. So far down they're not even on the map. Real low class.

  Swan : Numbers?

  Fox : Full strength: maybe 30?

  Vermin : Thirty. A lot more than eight.

  Ajax : Not if they're wimps!... and I'm sick of this running crap.

• Cowboy : You never know what you're gonna run into out there. If we're wearing our colors, we can't hide.

  Vermin : Who wants to hide?

• Mercy : Wait a minute. I can't go in there. It's a men's room.

  Vermin : Are you kidding?

  [he yanks her inside the room] 

• Snow : It's the Turnbull A.C.'s.

  Cowboy : Think they forgot about the truce?

  Vermin : No shit!

  Ajax : Those lousy skinhead fucks!

• Vermin : How much longer we gotta wait? We might be here forever, I'm sick of waiting for trains!

  Swan : Vermin, sit down and shut up.

  Vermin : Okay, okay!

• Rembrandt : They think we shot Cyrus.

  Vermin : What are you talking about? I don't get it.

  Rembrandt : They think we shot Cyrus. Every gang in the city must be looking for us!

  Cochise : Holy shit!

  Rembrandt : We're not gonna be able to make it back!

• Cowboy : Okay, what are we gonna do now?

  Swan : We're going back.

  Vermin : You mind tellin' me how? Fuckin' Coney Island must be 50 to 100 miles from here!

  Swan : It's the only choice we got.

  Cochise : Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in this city is lookin' to bust our heads.

  Swan : We got somethin' else to think about then the cops.

  Vermin : Yeah, what?

  Snow : The truce. Is it still on?

  Vermin : If it ain't, we're gonna have to bop our way back!

  Cowboy : Shit, I wish we was packed.

• Ajax : One thing we might get out of Cyrus' little get-together, is meeting some strange wool. I wouldn't mind laying a little something down on the way back.

  Vermin : You got a one-track brain, you know that?

  Ajax : What's the matter? You going faggot?

  [a line he repeats often, with slight variations] 

• Orphan Leader : [the Warriors have to cut through Orphans territory, Orphan Leader sends one of his men off running]  Hey!

  Cowboy : You know where that cat's headed, don't you?

  Rembrandt : Yeah, reinforcements.

  Vermin : [scared]  We're gonna get japped here, we're gonna get japped!

• Vermin : Where's the rest of them?

  Rembrandt : Where's everybody, else?

  Snow : Cops got Ajax. We don't know about, Swan.

  Rembrandt : Oh, Jesus.

  Cochise : Are you sure about Ajax?

  Snow : Real sure.

  Vermin : Bet he went out swinging.

  Snow : We better go look for Swan.

• [the Warriors successfully made it on the train at the Gun Hill Road subway stop just seconds before the Turnbull A.C.'s storm an attack on the gang] 

  Cowboy : [cheering]  Whoo! All right, Warriors!

  [cheering continues] 

  Vermin : Them cats were some desperate dudes.

  Cowboy : [laughs]  Hey, so was we!

  Ajax : But even fight, we can take 'um!

  [cheers continue as Snow smiles] 

  Ajax : Bunch of chicken-shits!

  Cowboy : Those cats didn't look too chicken-shit to me.

  Vermin : Me either.

• Vermin : [getting off the train at Union Square]  Where is everybody?

  Rembrandt : Looks like we're the first ones here. We're gonna hafta sit and wait... They'll show up.

  Vermin : [they spot this all-girl gang called the Lizzies]  Ooooo, looks like something else showed up.

  Cochise : Hey, hey, hey. Now lookit whatcha find here in the big city!

  Rembrandt : Hey you guys, we ain't got time.

  Vermin : Are ya kiddin'? Time's what we got plenty of!

  Lizzie Leader : [the three walk over to the Lizzies]  Hiya?

• Vermin : Big Cyrus. He was gonna run the whole city. What crap that was.

  Cochese : Cyrus was right about one thing. It's all out there. All we got to do is just figure a way to go steal it.

  Snow : Sounds great. All you got to do is figure out what's worth stealing.
