William Watson: Lonigan
Quotes
-
Lonigan : [after meeting Kruger and his crony] Just like in the movies.
-
Lt. Herschel : I don't believe it. Two homicides last night, a million dollars worth of smack in the area and you can't find anything on them.
Sgt. Murphy : Lieutenant, we searched that car from top to bottom. They're clean!
Lt. Herschel : I don't believe it. We've got Lonigan right here in the station. Lonigan, who would tear the hands of a baby for a few bucks. Tony, I don't give a shit about, since he's only the faggot in the lot.
Sgt. Murphy : Lieutenant, what do you want us to do? We held them over twenty-four hours. We've got to let 'em go.
Lt. Herschel : All right.
[walks over to Lonigan and Tony]
Lt. Herschel : Well, unfortunately, you two are free to go.
Lonigan : Lt. Herschel, if you're the fair man I think you are, you owe myself and my associate here an apology.
Lt. Herschel : Lonigan, old buddy, let me tell you something. A little number down in the alley last night has your name written all over it. Now, I don't know where you ditched the stuff, but you're lucky you came clean because if my boys found so much as a pocketknife, you and Greaseball would be our permanent guests in the big house.
Lonigan : [laughing hysterically] Yeah! The big house? How about Little House on the Prairie? We even got a Kojak in here!
Lt. Herschel : Get out of here, Lonigan. Take Scumbag with you.
Tony : [offended] Hey, look...
Lonigan : Icy calm. Icy calm. Bye!
[Lonigan is still laughing when he and Tony leave]

Abigail Bratowski : [the three are walking out of the courthouse to their car] It's a good thing I wasn't there. I would have castrated them both.
Lonigan : That's exactly why you were left out of it.
Abigail Bratowski : Left out? Look, buddy, I'm running this outfit. I stayed back because I wanted to. Don't forget that!
Lonigan : Abby, Abby, quit busting my balls, will you, please?
Tony : All right, all right, will you two just cool it? Let's go pick up the stuff, huh?
Abigail Bratowski : Listen, shrimp, if you want to have your teeth knocked down your throat, just keep up the comedy routine.
Lonigan : She's right! Don't pull your string, dummy! Get in the car!
-
Lonigan : [after Abigail breaks up a bar fight by shooting her gun into the air] Everybody stay down! The girl is mentally ill!
-
Tony : [when they wind up letting Al and Elmo escape from the bar] We're in such deep shit.
Lonigan : You know why we're in deep shit?
Tony : Why?
Lonigan : We broke Lonigan's Law, that's why. Never mix B&B.
Tony : [confused] That's a drink, right?
Lonigan : Oh, Christ, when you're talking, you ain't learning. Business and broads. The bottom line is when this is over: Abigail, Acapulco. Up to her ass in banana daquiris and beach boys. You and me: a trash bin in East St. Louis. Well, I'm not gonna let it happen, all right? It's not gonna happen to us.

Lonigan : [Abigail joins Lonigan and Tony at the construction site] Well, well, look who's here. It's the devil in drag.
Abigail Bratowski : What the hell is going on here?
Tony : [angrily, while trying to dig the gravel out from under the tires of their car] Don't start anything, Abigail! I mean it! Don't start!
Abigail Bratowski : Where's Blondie and the 'Vette?
Lonigan : [mocking] Where's Blondie and the 'Vette? Where's Blondie and the 'Vette? I can't start this goddamn bulldozer! Can you? We're stuck!
Tony : [to Abigail] Did you get the jacket?
Abigail Bratowski : No! What's so important about the jacket?
Tony : Oh, Christ, the homer's in the jacket!
Abigail Bratowski : [furious and grabs Tony by the shirt] You little fart! Why didn't you tell me? Oh, god, now we're right back to where we started!
Lonigan : Okay, just cool it, cool it!
[looks around]
Lonigan : Where's Rosco?
Abigail Bratowski : I smoked the tub of lard.
Lonigan : [confused] You what?
Abigail Bratowski : I smoked him!
Lonigan : [still confused] You smoked him.
Tony : She killed him?

Lonigan : [Lonigan goes into Bug's repair office] Hello, Bug. Have you got a minute?
Bug : [removes a magnifying eyepiece from his glasses] Lonigan?
Lonigan : You got new specs. Listen, snooper, did you sell a tracking homing device to a guy, a couple of days ago? A pretty good size. I wouldn't forget him.
Bug : All my clients are confidential. You know that.
[Lonigan pulls out his gun and shoots a oscilloscope on a nearby shelf, frying it]
Bug : Hey! That's a two-thousand dollar oscilloscope! Hey, come on, all this equipment's priceless!
Lonigan : [pointing at another machine] How much is that?
Bug : Fourteen-hundred dollars.
[Lonigan shoots the machine]
Bug : All right, look. I made up a unit like that, last week, for a guy.
Lonigan : For who?
Bug : Uh... Mr. Smith?
Lonigan : [chuckles] That's why I love you, Bug. You got so much imagination.
Bug : [chuckles slightly] Hey, look, I told you. All my clients are confidential.
[Lonigan points his gun at his face and Big quickly grabs a homing device from behind]
Bug : This is the unit i gave him. It's just a standard model.
Lonigan : Will it work out the same sender?
Bug : [adjusting the device with his screwdriver] It will now, but, you know, you gotta be within three miles of the transmitter.
Lonigan : Bug...
[takes Bug's glasses off]
Lonigan : these glasses. They're not you.
[drops them on the floor and crushes them with his foot]
Lonigan : I'll be seeing you.

Abigail Bratowski : Put your foot into it.
Lonigan : I got a squirrel in a treadmill under the hood! I can't catch them!
-
Lonigan : All right, we gotta think logically here. We've been on this road for three miles. Correct? No side roads, no Corvette. I can't figure it.
Tony : Well, why are we stopping here?
Lonigan : [pointing at the dash] You see that light on the dashboard?
Tony : The one red?
Lonigan : Yeah. What's it say?
Tony : Says it's hot.
Lonigan : And?
Tony : We stop to let the engine cool down, huh?
Lonigan : [sarcastically] Fantastic.

Lonigan : [Lonigan and Tony are waiting impatiently for their food at the A&W Drive-in] How long have we been waiting for? Twenty minutes? Maybe even a half-hour?
Lonigan : I forgot what the hell we ordered.
Tony : Just a couple burgers.
Lonigan : Jesus! They got two speeds, slow and stop, in this town.

Lonigan : [to Abigail, who is trying to work the tracking device] What is this, the scenic tour? Can you work that thing or not?

Lonigan : We've been going south for thirty minutes!

Tony : [Tony and Lonigan is staking out the body shop] Hey, shouldn't we go in after them?
Lonigan : What happened the last time we involved a joint that was full of people?
Tony : Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. What the hell are they doing in there, anyway?
Lonigan : What's the sign on the building say, Tony?
Tony : [looking into binoculars] Auto Painting.
Lonigan : They're painting the car, Tony.
