  The Driver : Go ahead and pull the trigger.

• The Driver : [the bank-robber gang pull into a parking garage where The Driver is waiting; the two drivers acknowledge each other]  How've you been?

  Fingers : I'm okay.

  Glasses : You two know each other?

  Fingers : A couple of years ago we worked a two-car job.

  Teeth : He doesn't have the balls for driving anymore.

  [Fingers looks hurt] 

  Glasses : You work for a piece, right?

  The Driver : Ten thousand up front, against fifteen percent.

  Teeth : How do we know you're that good?

  The Driver : Get in.
