Quotes 

• Jack : I don't want to get in a bar fight. People are always getting in bar fights. It's such a damn cliche. You hear about it all the time and you see it in the motion pictures, people are getting hit in the head with beer bottles, and furniture, and...

  [breaks a bottle over a man's head] 

• Reggie Hammond : Look, Jack, I gave you the money in good faith, you told me I could fucking trust you and now after all this shit I can't get my money?

  Jack : Well, you finally got the picture, convict.

• Reggie Hammond : They blew up my car! They blew up my *car*!

  Jack : It's a damn shame.

  Reggie Hammond : They blew up my car and all you have to say is it's a damn shame?

  Jack : No car, no money, you're having a bad day!

• Reggie : How much of my money did you spend?

  Jack : Oh, about 25 grand. You said I could buy a new car.

  Reggie : So where is it?

  Jack : This *is* the new car!

  Reggie : This looks like the same piece-of-shit sky blue Cadillac you had before!

  Jack : Yeah, I bought the same make, model, year, color, everything the same. That's the way I like it. I get attached to things, Reggie!

• Jack : You got framed. That's what every convict says!

  Reggie : Well, what about you, man? They never found that bad guy's gun out at the racetrack!

  Jack : That's different.

  Reggie : How's it different?

  Jack : I'm a cop, you're a crook.

  Reggie : Oh, get the fuck outta here! Just 'cause I'm a convict, every thin' that comes outta my mouth is a god damn lie?

  Jack : That's right.

  Reggie : So it's just Screw Reggie Hammond?

  Jack : That's right!

• Jack : I knew you'd be waiting for me out here.

  Reggie : You think I'm happy about being here think again. I'm supposed to have money in my pocket and a new life and the last thing I wanted was to be hooked up to your dumb ass again and you? You're about two steps away from where I was yesterday so you're not running shit. I'm gonna lay it out straight Jack: I don't like you and I don't trust you.

  Jack : O.K. cut the bullshit ok? Give me something I can use.

  Reggie : The Iceman? The Iceman bought your house.

  Jack : Now God damn it! I said cut the bullshit!

  Reggie : I can't believe you haven't put this together yet. Me and Ganz robbed a drug dealer, *that* was the Iceman, he's still pissed off about the shit. I see your wheels turnin there. Yes, yes, the man who you've been lookin for bought your fucked up car and put a down payment on your house and you've been riding around in a car that he bought for you lookin for him which makes you the dumbest motherfucker in law enforcement. Get in the car, you've got a bad shoulder and I don't wanna get into a wreck. I, unlike you, have a lot to live for.

  Jack : I always wanted a cheuffer, Reg!

• Ben Kehoe : Christ, you really toasted that guy, Jack.

  Jack Cates : Ah, goddammit, I didn't TOAST the guy! I just SHOT him! For Chrissakes, don't say I TOASTED him, Ben!

• [Kehoe is holding Reggie hostage, using him as a human shield] 

  Ben Kehoe : Jack, we can work this out! Just let me out of here!

  Jack Cates : You're a disgrace, Ben. Nothing worse than a bad cop.

  Reggie Hammond : Hey, Jack! Thank you for a very pleasant day! Okay, I got no car, I got no money, and I'm gonna end the day off with this goddamn dope man's Uzi by my temple! Thank you, Jack! Look, this is Jack's day, why don't you just let Jack shoot me? Save your bullet! Jack, why don't you shoot me? Shoot me, Jack!

  [Jack shoots Reggie in the shoulder. Stunned, Reggie collapses to the floor, and Jack shoots Ben dead] 

• Jack : [the bartender has launched a tirade against Jack about the police in her bar]  Is that enough, or do you wanna bitch some more?

  Girl Bartender : [angry]  I'm gonna bitch some more!

• Reggie Hammond : Stay the fuck away from me until you have my money, alright?

  Jack : I told you yesterday convict - you're not getting your money until you help me.

  Reggie Hammond : I trusted you with my money and my car and you fucked me! I thought you were straight, what the fuck is going on?

  Jack : I've been chasing a drug dealer called The Iceman for the last 4 years. Last week I found out this Iceman wants you dead. Here take a look at this.

  [Shows Reggie a picture of him] 

  Jack : I got this off some guy paying someone to make a hit on you. Recognize this guy? In 4 years Reggie, that makes you the best lead I ever had!

  Reggie Hammond : Yeah? Well helping you out while you've got my money is something I DON'T wanna do!

• Reggie Hammond : You let me rot in fucken prison for 5 years and you show up wanting some help? That's bullshit! That's worse than bullshit - that's DUMB man!

  Jack : Reggie this time I promise you it's gonna be different. I'm gonna lose my badge, they're gonna put me in jail.

  Reggie Hammond : You're in trouble with the law this time? Good! As bad as I feel about you keeping my money, that shit almost makes me feel better! Now I'm sure I don't wanna go with you!

  Jack : Now wait a minute, God dammit! I don't beg!

  Reggie Hammond : What you gonna do, whip my ass? Shoot me out here in front of the prison? That's not a very good way to treat the best lead you ever had. Don't worry - I'll come visit you, in about five or six years!

• Reggie Hammond : Man, how could you leave my car outside all these years? Why didn't you put it in the fucken garage? Look at that dirt all over it! What if someone stole it?

  Jack : [Handing Reggie a remote]  I had a lock put on it. Just push that blue button right here.

  Reggie Hammond : You have no appreciation whatsoever for what's hype! That's what it is! You don't know how much that car flies! Do you know how much pussy I got because of that car?

  [Pushes the remote button and car blows up]
