Laura San Giacomo: Maya Gallo

Quotes 

• Dennis Finch : "Rage to Riches". Came in second.

  Maya Gallo : All right! What did I get?

  Dennis Finch : Did you pick him to win?

  Maya Gallo : Yes.

  Dennis Finch : Then nothing.

  Maya Gallo : Rats! I just lost $50!

  Dennis Finch : 50? Why'd you bet so much?

  Maya Gallo : Oh, I was only going to bet five but then the bookie said "five dimes?" and I said "Fifty dollars? What the Hell?" Fifty dollars, I truly hit rock bottom.

  Dennis Finch : Sit down. It just got rockier. Maya, dimes are thousands. Five dimes, five thousand dollars. You lost five thousand dollars.

  Maya Gallo : No, no! This isn't happening! This isn't real! Dimes are ten! FIve dimes, fifty dollars!

  Dennis Finch : Well, you'd better have it when the bookie comes here.

  Maya Gallo : The bookie's coming here?

  Maya Gallo : They tend to drop by at the five thousand range.

  Dennis Finch : Ooooh! Rags to Riches, you slow, hairy bitch!

• Maya Gallo : Elliot, do you know anyone involved in illegal gambling?

  Elliot DiMauro : Oh, I get it. Elliot DiMauro, Italian. I must be "connected." I must have cousins in "waste management."

  Maya Gallo : It's just that I remember you making bets on the Super Bowl.

  Elliot DiMauro : Well, my mother is half Irish, so I must have been drunk when I did it!

• Dennis Finch : What are you betting on?

  Maya Gallo : Rags to Riches, race 23.

  Dennis Finch : Jamaican dog racing?

  Maya Gallo : Yes. I like dogs, I went to Jamaica on spring break, and I'm always racing from one place to another.

  Dennis Finch : Sometimes I wish you were a guy so I could punch you.

• Bunny : So, have you considered our little situation?

  Maya Gallo : I have. You talk about honor, but I want you to know that you are nothing more than a petty thug. I'll give you the money, but I want you to know that now I can't go to Club Med, Oaxaca. And this was the year I was going to work up the nerve to jet ski.

  Bunny : You're upset about this, aren't you?

  Maya Gallo : I think the frowny faces on the zeroes speak for themselves.

• Maya Gallo : I'm writing a very edgy article on women gamblers, and I'm looking for some hot leads.

  Dennis Finch : On the Yellow Pages? Good work, Matlock.

  Maya Gallo : I'm looking for Gamblers Anonymous. Did you know that women are the fastest growth demographic among gamblers?

  Dennis Finch : Did you know you work for a fashion magazine?
