Quotes

Ray Kowalski: OK, let's get down to basics. Poker is a game of money and deception.
Harding Walsh: Penalties go to the weak, rewards go to the strong.
Jack Huey: In poker, you're on your own.
Thomas Dewey: The loser makes himself a loser.
Ray Kowalski: And the winner makes himself a winner.
Benton Fraser: I see. And where do the cards fit in to this?
Ray Kowalski: The cards are incidental. Think about it this way: poker is sheer justice. (edit)
Ray Kowalski: Fraser, you know what the hell you're doing?
Benton Fraser: What is it you think I'm doing?
Ray Kowalski: You tell me. You're the one who's got a shark swimming around in your underwear. (edit)
Benton Fraser: Dief, she's out of your league. (Diefenbaker whines.) Well, she is!
Ray Kowalski: What's with Dief?
Benton Fraser: Well, I'm not sure. Might be love. Then again, it just might be worms.
Ray Kowalski: What's the diff? (edit)
Ray Kowalski: You all right?
Benton Fraser: I'm not sure ... I've hurt ... my back ...
Ray Kowalski: You know, Fraser ...
Benton Fraser: Mmm-hmm?
Ray Kowalski: ... from the second floor ...
Benton Fraser: Mmm?
Ray Kowalski: ... there's always the other option...
Benton Fraser: Which is?
Ray Kowalski: The stairs.
Benton Fraser: Oh. Right. I'll remember that.
