Leon : I mean, how do they expect you to get uncrazy if you're asleep all the time?

Leon : He won't listen to anybody. He's been very crazy all summer. Since June he's been trying to kill me.

Leon : I couldn't explain the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who told me that I was a woman trapped in a man's body. Well, so, right away Sonny wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he going to get that? 2,500 dollars. My God, he was in hock up to his ears already.

Leon : I can't survive in prison, Sonny.

Leon : Where? Where are you going?
Sonny : I don't know where yet. Well, we've said Algeria. I don't know. So, I'll go to Algeria. I don't know though.
Leon : Why - are you going to Algeria?
Sonny : I don't know why. They got a Howard Johnson's there. So, I'm going.
Leon : Howard Johnson's. You're warped. You know that. You're really warped.
Sonny : I'm warped. I know I'm warped.

Leon : I got more depressed than ever. I knew I'd never get my operation. So, I - I tried to kill myself. I took about a half a pound of pills. Blues. Reds. Yellows. Screamers. Uppers. Downers. You name it.

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.
