- Morris: [In the prison: recognizing another inmate, one who apparently caused him to end up in prison] Jessell!
- Jessell, man who caused Morris' incarceration: Well, if it ain't little Morris! So YOU'RE here?
- Morris: Yes, I'm here. And YOU'RE here, too, where you belong.
- Jessell, man who caused Morris' incarceration: Ah, ya' got me all wrong, kid. I lost more money on that horse than YOU did.
- Morris: Did you, Jessell? Did you lose your position and money and friends? And mother?... She died at my trial. You killed her. If it hadn't been for you...
- Jessell, man who caused Morris' incarceration: Shut up, ya' little swine! You were a thief long before I knew ya'!
- Morris: [Lunges and grabs Jessel] That's a lie! Take it back! Take it back!
- Steve Jordan: [Jumping in to break it up] Cut it out! Cut it out!
- Steve Jordan: Go on, scram!

- Steve Jordan: .
- Steve Jordan: Don't do that... Come on, don't take it so hard.
- Morris: I can't help it. How did your family feel?
- Steve Jordan: [Pensively pausing] Well, they don't know. I changed my name... They think I'm in China.
- Morris: How'd you do that?
- Steve Jordan: Well, I got friends out there. They forward my letters home and cable my folks once a month.
- [Loud prison bell rings]
- Steve Jordan: I'll see ya' around. I work in the office over there. I gotta' lot of new fish comin' in. You know - associates, inmates. Come on, son. Buck up, boy.
- [Gives Morris a reassuring pat and heads off]
- Saint Louis: Steve, you're on the square with Judy, aren't ya'?
