Mr. Ashe, a guy like me has to ride with lady luck. A squealer leaves his pals in plenty of trouble.

Ace Wilfong, Gangster Defendant:
Well, I want to marry your daughter.
Stephen Ashe, Defense Attorney: What?
Ace Wilfong, Gangster Defendant: What's wrong with that?
Stephen Ashe, Defense Attorney: The only time I hate democracy is when one of you mongrels forget where you belong... a few illegal dollars and a clean shirt and you move across the railroad tracks. Tell your boy to bring me some libations, and don't insult the guests!

[after Ace and Jan are shot at, he takes her to his hideaway]
Ace Wilfong, Gangster Defendant: Slouch, tell her why the Hardy mob tried to fix me up. Tell her the facts, Slouch.
Slouch: Well, the mug that was rubbed out, Miss, was a snooper of the chief's running with the Hardy mob, slipping us the lowdown. Hardy gets hep to it and he puts the rat on the spot. They nab the boss's "kelly" and plants it. Your old man jaws him out and the Hardy mob grabs the typewriters and the ukeleles.
