Memorable quotes

Mayor: Take anything you want, just don't hurt Ms. Bellum.
Crook #1: Ms. Bellum, huh? What do you say I call you "Sweetcheeks?"
Mayor: Oh, call me anything you want. But just rob me and go away. Take my money, some fine art, maybe, my wife, jewels, perhaps, the key to the city, my wife.
