Marshal Hickory BIll makes the first Wild West faux pas.

hard-boiled egg...

'You know too much,'

"Just give me your wallet. Trust me, you do not want to deal with my misplaced sense of entitlement."

"Stop summoning me about rising sea levels. I do costumed supervillains staling jewels, men in beanies grabbing handbags - that sort of thing."

"Why didn't you simply open the window?"

"Pardon me, Vito, but I'm holding the talking stick now."

'You know bank pens never work. Why didn't you write the holdup note before we left?!'

"The numbers don't lie . . . but we do."

'So one day I thought, I'll teach you brats to laugh at me!'

'When you get up on the stand be sure to keep your answers short. A whole lot of barking will only frighten the jury.'

"Kid!! We know you're in there!!! Either come out or commence to fightin'!!!!"

"I've been dumping bodies here for years, and it seems to me that the sea level is rising."

'Any ideas on motive?' 'Only one, Chief.'

"I said freeze, punk, I didn't mean literally!"

'This could be me and you, your honor. Heading for Las Vegas!'

'I haven't spent a day in jail since I got rid of my lawyer and hired a spinmeister.'

'I don't know officer: They all look alike to me...'

'I don't care how you do it...just make it look like an accident.'

"Don't make me send in the bad cat."

"Then leave the horses head in the Futon." Middle-class mafia

Oliver Twist - Oliver Introduced to Fagin

'Come on inspector, you call this fair?'

'Why is it always about me?'

"You think you're gonna whack me and this will be over?"

'Oh, hello Dave. Would you like that in untraceable, used notes, like last time?'

The old good-cop, psycho-cop routine.
