<p dir="auto">This movie had quite a few great lines, but my favorite is, "I intend to smoke one over everyone of their dead bodies." I might be paraphrasing, but you know the line I'm referring to.</p>

Purvis: No, sir. I'm like you, I don't have any. Now hold it. How's it feel?<br />

<p dir="auto">Omg lol, what about the best line in the movie?<br />
Dillinger just got done doing some crazy sh!t (I think it was after he ESCAPED PRISON WITH A BAR OF SOAP! lol) or robbing some banks, shooting it out with cops. Then when the guy is getting away with Dillinger in the back, John is like:<br />
"What the hell's wrong with you, ya crazy?!?! You're driving is gonna get us killed! 30-40 mph is just fine".<br />
lol.<br />
I'm always like; did you just ask HIM if he was crazy?!?! I don't think the driving is gonna be the culpret.</p>

<p dir="auto">When Dillinger is busting out, the guy in the garage at the jail looks at him and goes "It's you! You're HIM!" That always struck me as hilarious. Another one that I liked was in a scene that followed that, when the guy ran after the car and shouted "Mr.Dillinger! Mr. Dillinger! Take me, too! I wanna be a Bank Robber!"</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, his whole part at the end was good. I've never been a HUGE Dallas fan, but I've always liked Steve Kanaly, and I think he was one of the most convincing actors in Dillinger.</p>

<p dir="auto">Not so much as best lines, but when Dillenger tries to split the money from his raid with the mechanic and bank manager, and the bank manager takes his cut and says 'well, times are hard' before wishing Dillinger well.<br />

<p dir="auto">I loved that line from Homer Van Meter (HDS) "Things ain't workin' out for me today"right before the townsfolk surround him and blast him in the middle of the street. Pretty harsh violence for it's time period if you ask me.</p>
