Quote #7
"You talk too much, all the same," Al said. He came out from the kitchen. The cut-off barrels of the shotgun made a slight bulge under the waist of his too tight-fitting overcoat. He straightened his coat with his gloved hands. (140)
Al is portrayed as the more hardened criminal, while Max seems more relatable.
Quote #8
The two of them went out the door. George watched them, through the window, pass under the arc-light and across the street. In their tight overcoats and derby hats they looked like a vaudeville team. (143)
The word "vaudeville" really undermines the cliché of the criminals; they are both intimidating, dangerous men and somehow comic at the same time.
