Amos Hart: That cheap little tramp. So she's been two-timing me, huh? Well, I'm through protecting her; she can swing for all I care!

Thought she could pull the wool over my eyes? Well, I wasn't born yesterday. I tell ya, there are some things a man just can't take, and this time she pushed me too far. That little chiseler! Boy, what a sap I was!
