Good old prohibition days. Say you should have seen the joint then. This is nothing. Back then we really had a turnover. Standing room only.

- Your folks might as well get used to our little post cards.

- What are you talking about?

- There'll be more of 'em. You'll be back.

- Oh, shut up!

- Listen, I can pick an alky with one eye shut. You're an alky... You'll come back. They all do. Him, for instance, shows up every month, just like the gas bill.

- And the one there with the glasses, another repeater. This is his forty-fifth trip.

- Big executive in the advertising business. Lovely fellow. Been coming here ever since nineteen twenty-seven.

- Good old prohibition days. Say you should have seen the joint then. This is nothing. Back then we really had a turnover. Standing room only.

- Prohibition! That's what started most of these guys off. Whoopee!

- Now be a good boy and drink this.

- I don't want it.

- Better take it.

- Liable to be a little floor show later on around here. Might get on your nerves.

- Floor show?

- Ever have the D.T.'s?

- No.

- You will, brother.

- Not me.

- Like to make a little bet?

Top rated lines from this movie

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.
You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...
The leper is back. Hide your liquor.
And out there, in that great big concrete jungle, I wonder how many others are like me. Poor bedeviled guys, on fire with thirst. Such comical figures to the rest of the world, as they stagger blindly towards another binge, another bender, another spree.
That's what's going to be hard to write. Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. It's so simple. You've got to catch it through details... like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rainspout in front of her house.
