• Matt Scudder : My ex-wife, she was vegetarian.

  TJ : So what happened? Why'd you split? What was she a clucker?

  Matt Scudder : A what?

  TJ : A clucker. A chickenhead. You know, those females that only like you if you give them nice things. If you ain't bling blingin' you ain't seein' shit.

  Matt Scudder : Can't you speak English?

• Matt Scudder : You know there's still a round left in the chamber here? Now. Put it back together. Caress it. Rub it, like it's part of you. Feels good, doesn't it?

  TJ : Word... It's all oily and whatnot.

  Matt Scudder : Turn off the safety... Now cock it... Now put it to your temple and pull the fucking trigger.

  TJ : What?

  Matt Scudder : You heard me. Shoot yourself in the head. Might as well get it over with now. Because you walk around with a gun, sooner or later, it's gonna happen anyway. No rewind. No going out for popcorn and coming back to the show. It's just you with that gun in your hand, stupid look on your face, and your hash all over the wall.

• Waitress - The Flame : Sure you don't want a soda or something, honey?

  TJ : I know you just love to give a young black man like myself one of your sperm-killer sodas. But no thank you, ma'am. I'll just stick with the water.

  Matt Scudder : What?

  TJ : They only give sodas to low-income people. With a bunch of chemicals in them to sterilize you. That's why I only drink water. A gallon a day and stay hydrated.
