Flo Addams: Johnny, wait a minute. I want you to carry this with you.
Little Johnny Sarto: What is it?
Flo Addams: It's a rabbit's foot. A lucky charm. My uncle wore it for 32 years.
Little Johnny Sarto: A lucky charm, eh? Where'd you get it?
Flo Addams: From my mother. With her own hand she took it off of my uncle after they hung him.

Flo Addams: [referring to the travel stickers she's putting inside his trunks] Look, Johnny, don't it look elegant?
Little Johnny Sarto: Yeah, it's got class all right. Look, you dumb cluck, you got it pasted on the inside.
Flo Addams: Sure, it gets scratched on the outside. Anybody's smart enough to know that!
Little Johnny Sarto: Flo, sometimes you got me guessin' whether you're even a nitwit.

Little Johnny Sarto: [proposing to go to Willie at a mental institution in Jersey] Oh, I'll get him all right. This is Little John Sarto. How long will it take us to drive over to where Willie's at?
Flo Addams: Forty minutes the way you drive.
Little Johnny Sarto: Oh, good, I'll tell him we'll pick him up.
Flo Addams: Well, maybe he won't wanna leave. He told me on a postcard he's in a grand hideout and having a swell time with his mental disorder.
Little Johnny Sarto: If he ever told you that on a postcard, maybe they ought to keep him in there.

[to Brother Superior]
