Moe: What the hell do you want, my head on a plate?! Was my life so happy? Chris鈥�, my old man was a bum. I supported the whole damn family鈥攆ive kids and Mom. When they grew up they beat it the hell away like rabbits. Mom died. I went to the war; got clapped down like a bedbug; woke up in a room without a leg. What the hell do you think, anyone鈥檚 got it better than you? I never had a home either. I鈥檓 lookin鈥� too!
[Hennie: So what?!]
Moe: So you鈥檙e it鈥攜ou鈥檙e home for me, a place to live! That鈥檚 the whole parade, sickness, eating out your heart! Sometimes you meet a girl鈥攕he stops it鈥攖hat鈥檚 love. . . . So take a chance! Be with me, Paradise. What鈥檚 to lose?
