Quotes from

Dr. Henry Adams: I'd hate like hell to donate you to a war that doesn't even concern us. It's bad enough to die for your own country!


Billy Campbell: One more, bottlekeeper!
Billy Campbell: [finishes the drink in front of him] Better make it two!
Billy Campbell: [noticing the bartender's impatience] We keeping you up?
Bartender: Yes, sir!
Billy Campbell: [sarcastically] The wages of gin!


Nick Adams: Look, what can you tell in four days?
George: I'll tell ya what I can tell. I can tell ya that three times a day I get hungry and every twenty-four hours I get an irresistible urge to go to sleep in a bed. I don't wanna beg and I don't wanna steal. I don't want a cop tellin' me I'm a vagrant and runnin' me outta town. I'm sorry to desert you, but I'm not cut out for this kind of a life.
