Dog Day Afternoon quotes

  • Sonny: Shit. Where's the goddamn jet? They're always screamin' overhead, goin' somewhere, when you don't need 'em, you know.

  • Sonny: I don't know, Leon, you know. I'm dying here. I'm dying.

    Leon: Do you ever listen to yourself when you say that? Like, you're dying. Did you?

    Sonny: What?

    Leon: Did you ever listen to yourself?

    Sonny: What are you talking about?

    Leon: What do you mean, what am I talking about? You're dying? Did you know that you say that to me everyday of your life? "I'm dying." Well, you're not dying. You're killing the people around you is what you're doing.
