Ok, here's another of my favorites (the movie is all right too)--
"I hear he's pretty good," Big John said.
"They say he's the best. They say he's got a real talent. Guys who seen him play say he's the best there is."
"I heard that before. I heard that about a lot of second-rate hustlers."
"Sure." The Preacher transferred his attention to his ear, which he began pulling, speculatively, as if trying feebly to appear intelligent. "But everybody says he pushed over Johnny Varges out of L.A. Pushed him over flat." Pulling the ear, and then for emphasis--for Big John was, again, impassive--"Like piss on the highway. Flat."
