Lefty Lo Bianco: I dunno, Fingers, this fella DeLong is keepin' me up at night. I get the feeling he's about to blab.

Abel "Fingers" Carnegie: Let 'im blab, I say. Nobody can prove anything. He's just angling for a payoff, which he'll get over my dead body.

Lefty: Maybe we oughta...you know, pay off his account for good, you take my meaning.

Fingers: Nah. He wants to dig his grave, there's plenty a people willing to shove him in. We leave 'im alone and lay low.

Lefty [after some minutes of silence]: Shouldn't that be "lie" low?

Fingers: Close your trap, college boy, and hand me that root beer.
