- Willie Bauche: [Willie's dressed in an Arab costume] Micky's okay. That gangster stuff is all in the past. He's strictly legit now. Nothing but slot machines.
- Preacher: Would Romeo have put a tail on Juliet?
- Willie Bauche: No, and that's probably why he's not with us today. Romeo happens to be the most overrated practitioner in the history of romance. Who else but a medieval Mortimer Snerd could have managed to get his whole wedding party knocked off?
- Preacher: Women don't like being tailed, Sire, especially women who are wives.
- Willie Bauche: Did you smell that Mimosa last night?
- Preacher: I was transported by its fragrance.
- Willie Bauche: That's what I mean. All that Mimosa, moonlight, music. There must be a thousand violins in this hotel alone. A woman's got to be protected against herself. Or, to put it bluntly, against over-stimulation.
- Preacher: I'm still perturbed, Sire.
- Willie Bauche: Your trouble, of course, is you know nothing about women. You realise why you're not married don't you?
- Preacher: Just luck, I imagine.
- Willie Bauche: Women can see through you.
