Ray, after gambling away the boys' drink money: "Lost all the liquor money, boys."

Julian: "What?"

Ray: "That's the way she goes."

Bubbles: "That's the way she goes?"

Ray: "That's right - that's the way she goes. That's what I said - "

Bubbles: "So you lost all our drink money is what 'she goes' - she's gone."

Ray: "That's right - that's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes."

Bubbles, being interviewed moments later: "It was gonna be the best night ever, now it's the worst night ever. Fuckin' 'way she goes', he said, fuckin' way she goes..."
