Notes

add »

Quotes

add »
(explaining to Trooper Webster where his original $300 came from)
Eb: That's another story. You see, about six months ago I got a letter from my Uncle Wallaby in Australia.
Lisa: You never said you had an uncle in Australia.
Trooper Webster: Oh?
Eb: Oh, he must've slipped my mind. Anyway, $300 doesn't mean a thing to him. He's very wealthy. He bottles sheep dip. It's a very popular drink, especially in the summertime. It tastes kinda like a hairy vodka. (edit)
Haney: (with his bloodhound Clarence) It was Clarence's cold nose that sniffed out Frank Nitti from behind an abandoned still over at Bagwell.
Oliver: Oh, for-- (edit)
Lisa: (to Judge Perkins) Your Honor, Eb is innocent. He was framed! Just like Frank Nitti!
Judge: Frank Nitti?
Eb: The feller that gave Mr. Douglas his still.
Judge: What still?
Oliver: Your Honor--
Judge: Counselor, don't you know it's against the law to operate a still?
Oliver: I don't operate one!
Eb: No, he just sits and looks at it and dreams of the old days in Chi-car-go. (edit)
(Eb pulls up to see "the fuzz" with the Douglases)
Eb:In trouble with the law again, Mr. Douglas?
Oliver: No, I--
Eb: He find your still?
Eb: Eb, will you--
Eb: He never uses it. It was a present from Frank Nitti.
Trooper Webster: There's that name again!
Eb: Mr. Douglas used to be his mouthpiece.
Lisa: Yes, he's a lawyer. he could've been in the FBI, but he's afraid of guns. (edit)
Lisa: (calling to Oliver) The storm trooper's here!
Trooper Webster: State trooper! (edit)
