Hips:
[following the big college basketball game, in which Spencer Lewis has shaved points for the Mafia to pay off Axel's gambling debt] ... Okay, we're in the clear. In fact, you might just have a couple of favors coming your way.
Axel Freed:
How's that? What do you mean?
Hips:
What are you, naive? This Lewis kid's got maybe a year or two left before he makes the NBA. You think my friends are gonna let him just slip through their fingers, after a night like this?
Axel Freed:
He did it for ME. He won't do it again.
Hips:
Ah, quit lying to yourself. Once you ain't a virgin no more, you're a whore till you die.

Axel Freed:
I'm not going to lose it. I'm going to gamble it.

Hips:
The only thing that's standing between your skull and a baseball bat is my word.
