The Four of Us Are Dying Quotes

  • (Unnamed) "He was Arch Hammer, a cheap little man who just checked in. He was Johnny Foster, who played a trumpet and was loved beyond words. He was Virgil Sterig, with money in his pocket. He was Andy Marshak, who got some of his agony back on a sidewalk in front of a cheap hotel. Hammer, Foster, Sterig, Marshak-and all four of them were dying."
  • (Unnamed) "His name is Arch Hammer, he's 36 years old. He's been a salesman, a dispatcher, a truck driver, a con man, a bookie, and a part-time bartender. This is a cheap man, a nickel-and-dime man, with a cheapness that goes past the suit and the shirt; a cheapness of mind, a cheapness of taste, a tawdry little shine on the seat of his conscience, and a dark-room squint at a world whose sunlight has never gotten through to him. But Mr. Hammer has a talent, discovered at a very early age. This much he does have. He can make his face change. He can twitch a muscle, move a jaw, concentrate on the cast of his eyes, and he can change his face. He can change it into anything he wants. Mr. Archie Hammer, jack-of-all-trades, has just checked in at three-eighty a night, with two bags, some newspaper clippings, a most odd talent, and a master plan to destroy some lives."
  • (Unnamed) "Excuse me, sir, Mr. Penell is not at home this evening."
  • (Unnamed) "Who is it, Ramon?"
  • (Unnamed) "It's me, Mr. Penell."
  • (Unnamed) "Picture tubes are expensive, but you can always get yourself another beer. Imported, isn't it? I always liked your taste, Mr. Penell."
  • (Unnamed) "Virge, this is the happiest day of my life."
  • (Unnamed) "This is the happiest day of your life, how come you look like somebody just stuck lemon juice in your beer, huh?"
  • (Unnamed) "No, Mr. Penell, you're not so happy. You got no reason to be happy. Believe me, Mr. Penell, I know. You got no reason to be happy. No reason at all. Now if you could've kept me in the river, a cold clammy little item without a voice,"
  • (Unnamed) "Then you could've been happy. But this is one double-cross, Mr Penell, that came back to bite you."
  • (Unnamed) "Virge, you got me wrong, Virge."
  • (Unnamed) "I held up my end of the bargain and instead of the payoff, all I got was the river. And that river was cold, Mr. Penell. Far too cold for this time of the year. Lousy swimming, Mr. Penell. Especially when you're almost out of blood."
