Quotes 

• Viviane : [singing]  You look like you don't have a clue, Like no one ever spoke to you, 'Bout "rififi," It's not a word that people use, Among the swells, the Who's Who's, "Rififi," It's the lingo of the streetwise, The battle cry of real tough guys, "Rififi," So don't fry your brain and grumble, All it means is "rough n'tumble," "Rififi"

• Viviane : [singing]  When I'm done workin' the beat, He takes me to the movies as a treat, He don't care what flick we see, So long as it's got "rififi," In love, he can be kinda rough, He don't go for sentimental stuff, A chick, he keeps telling me, Gets her kicks on "rififi," And when he really lets himself go, I get a cuff just for show, And when I'm lying by his side, I'm nothing, I got no pride, In paradise I wanna be, I'll pay the price in "rififi"

• Viviane : [singing]  I got a guy who knows what's what, He ain't the kind to bust a gut, He's got lotsa philosophy, Only he's too sweet on "rififi," If another guy just gives me a nod, Right away he goes for his rod, He tips his hat and yes, sirree! It's time for some "rififi," I step in, but he don't give a damn, He points me out and says: scram! And when he's back after a while, He's got this nasty little smile, And sure as sure can be, I'm next in line for "rififi"...
