- Diane Chambers: If you leave, we're through.
- Sam Malone: No, no, no. Don't give me ultimatums. I hate ultimatums. If you give me an ultimatum, we're through.
- Norm Peterson: [Sam has tickets to a highly anticipated boxing match] So, Sammy, guess who cut the high card for the extra ticket.
- Sam: [without missing a beat] Come on, Harry. But please, Harry, don't get us into any trouble tonight.
- Harry 'The Hat' Gittes: Oh, come on, Sam. I'll be good. In fact, I'm driving.

- Harry 'The Hat' Gittes: What kind of car do you want to take?
- Harry 'The Hat' Gittes: [about a gift] Gosh, I never expected anything like this. I mean, no one's ever give me anything... voluntarily.
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: I got a great idea, right? I'll think of number from one and ten. Who comes closest gets to go with Sam.
