Quotes 

• Julian Kaye : Why me? Why did you pick me?

  Leon : Because you were framable. You've stepped on too many toes. Nobody ever cared about you. I never even liked you much myself.

• Julian Kaye : How much is it gonna cost me to get you off my back?

  Leon : You ain't talking money, you're talking murder.

  Julian Kaye : How much?

  Leon : I feel sorry for you, Julie.

  Julian Kaye : How much!

  Leon : It don't make no difference how much, Julie. The other side will always pay more.

• Julian Kaye : I hear you're showing off a new boy here, Leon.

  Leon : Got to make sure none of these fruits snatch him from me, too.

• Leon : Cops on my ass like white on rice.

• Leon : I heard about your problems.

  Julian Kaye : What problems?

  Leon : Your clientele, Julie. Your rich pussy. They won't touch you. Say it's too hot. They're looking for new boys.

• Julian Kaye : He's a freak, you know?

  Leon : Yeah, he's a freak.

• Julian Kaye : You lied to me, Leon. It was a rough trick.

  Leon : I forgot. You got scruples now, huh?

• Leon : You walk an awful thin line, Julie. I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes. I mean, you're getting awful cocky. All the rest of the boys are happy with a car, house in the hills, but not you. You got all your rich pussy lined up, once-a-month tricks, a dip in the pool, a little tennis, and orgasm. I'm just trying to warn you as a friend. If those bitches ever turn on you, you're through.

  Julian Kaye : You're sure about that?

  Leon : They'll cut you out.

• Leon : I want to thank you for helping me out, Julie. Finally found Joey holed up with one of his - boyfriends, just banging away, you know how it is. Dumb bastard.

• Leon : You ask me to help you out of a tight spot. I'm glad to do it. But I ask you to do my trick, you tell me no. Well, how do you expect me to help you?
