Dr. Walter Coley: Ever see any botched plastic jobs? If a man like me didn't like a fellow... he could surely fix him up for life. Make him look like a bulldog, or a monkey. I'll make you look as if you've lived. Vincent Parry: I have, doc.

Cabby: Nice looking suit you're wearing. Vincent Parry: Thanks, and I don't feel chatty. Cabby: Some fares like to talk. Vincent Parry: Well I don't. Cabby: You always that way? Vincent Parry: Yep. That's why I don't have many friends.

Cabby: Where do you want to go to? Vincent Parry: Might as well make it the police station. Cabby: Don't be like that. You're doing all right. You're doing fine. Vincent Parry: If it was easy for you to spot me, it'd be easy for others. Cabby: That's where you're wrong. Unless you'd be happier back in Quentin. Vincent Parry: Yeah... yeah, sure. That's why they sent us up there. To make us happy.

George Fellsinger: Gert didn't hate you. Gert just didn't care for you. There's a difference. She would have walked out on you if she'd have found somebody permanent. She wouldn't frame you when she was dying. She was no prize package, but she wouldn't frame you. Madge framed you. Madge wanted to hook you, and when she found she couldn't have you, she framed you, sent you up for life. We both know that. Vincent Parry: My attorney couldn't shake her story. Maybe someday she'll get run over or something. George Fellsinger: That's what I pray for every night.

Vincent Parry: I'm hiding. Detective: From what? Vincent Parry: My wife, my friends, my family, everybody. Detective: Come on now, it can't be as bad as all that. Vincent Parry: Well, I tell you what you do. You go up there and spend seven years with my wife, and then if you're still in your right mind, come back down here and tell me about it.
