Movie quotes

  • (..) - I got to go. - Where are you going? Don't start. You know I got to go do this thing. Where are my keys? Over there. It is a mess. It is like a pig pen. Why do you think I got you a dishwasher? Fucks up my nails. You got to be smart. There is enough powder here to put us away forever. (..)

  • (..) What are you talking about? You mean the restaurant? It is a classy place. You've been in here a million times. Tommy taking over this joint is like putting a silk hat on a pig. I don't mean any disrespect, but that is the way it is. I'm begging you. What can I say? What am I going to do? (..)
