Henry Gondorff: Glad to meet you, kid. You're a real horse's ass.Johnny Hooker: Luther said I could learn something from you. I already know how to drink.
Henry Gondorff: You not gonna stick around for your share?Johnny Hooker: Nah. I'd only blow it.
You see that fella in the red sweater over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Works a few of the protection rackets for Cunnaro when he's waiting for something better to happen. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd. Because if he ever finds out I can be beat by one lousy grifter, I'll have to kill him and every other hood who wants to muscle in on my Chicago operation.
Henry Gondorff: Is Lonnegan after you too?Johnny Hooker: I don't know. I ain't seen anybody.Henry Gondorff: You never do, kid.
