Justine Hanna: You don't live with me, you live among the remains of dead people. You sift through the detritus, you read the terrain, you search for signs of passing, for the scent of your prey, and then you hunt them down. That's the only thing you're committed to. The rest is the mess you leave as you pass through.

Neil McCauley: I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I know life is short, whatever time you get is luck. You want to walk? You walk right now. Or on your own... on your own you choose to come with me. And all I know is... all I know is there's no point in me going anywhere anymore if it's going to be alone... without you.

[Robbing a bank] Neil McCauley: We want to hurt no one. We're here for the bank's money, not your money. Your money is insured by the federal government, you're not gonna lose a dime. Think of your families, don't risk your life. Don't try and be a hero.
20
Vincent Hanna: You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down. Neil McCauley: There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second.
21
Vincent Hanna: It's like you said. All I am is what I'm going after.
22
Justine Hanna: You prefer the normal routine. We fuck and you lose the power of speech.
23
Vincent Hanna: So you never wanted a regular type life? Neil McCauley: What the fuck is that? Barbeques and ballgames?
24
Vincent Hanna: My life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so fucked up because her real father's this large-type asshole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage - my third - because I spend all my time chasing guys like you around the block. That's my life. Neil McCauley: A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a... a marriage?
25
Charlene Shiherlis: What else are you selling? Sgt. Drucker: All kinds of shit. But I don't have to sell this and you know it, 'cause this kind of shit here sells itself.
26
Vincent Hanna: Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate. Popped guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness?
27
Breedan: Ain't a hard time been invented that I cannot handle.
28
Neil McCauley: L.A.P.D. Gee, what, where the fuck did this heat come from? Chris Shiherlis: Maybe it's the score they were onto, the place, not us. 'Cause it's been hit a couple of times, you know, or something? Neil McCauley: Assume they got our phones, assume they got our houses, assume they got us, right here, right now as we sit, everything. Assume it all.
29
Chris Shiherlis: The bank is worth the risk. I need it, brother. We should stay and take it down.
30
Neil McCauley: I am double the worst trouble you ever thought of.
31
Vincent Hanna: I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my fucking television set!
32
Charlene Shiherlis: It's like risk versus reward, baby.
33
Alan Marciano: Why'd I get mixed up with that bitch? Vincent Hanna: Cause she's got a great ass... and you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me.
34
Vincent Hanna: I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.
35
Justine Hanna: I may be stoned on grass and Prozac, but you've been walking through our life dead.
36
Neil McCauley: I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.
37
Justine Hanna: But you have to be present like a normal guy some of the time. That's sharing. This is not sharing, this is leftovers. Vincent Hanna: All right, so what I should do is, uhm, come home and say "Hi Honey, guess what? I walked into this house today where this junkie asshole just fried his baby in a microwave because it was crying too loud, so let me share that with you."
38
Michael Cheritto: What do you want to be when you grow up, honey? Linda Cherrito: I don't know. Michael Cheritto: She doesn't know. Just like me, I don't know either.

Vincent Hanna: Who? Who? What are you, a fucking owl?

Justine Hanna: In a way, you're a party to this. Vincent Hanna: Oh yeah, I made Ralph fuck you because it makes me feel good.
41
Albert Torena: Where's your empathy, brother? It's a substance abuse problem. Vincent Hanna: Empathy was yesterday. Today, you're wasting my motherfucking time.
42
Vincent Hanna: When these guys walk out the door of whatever score they're gonna take next, they're gonna have the surprise of a lifetime.

Richard Torena: This guy I was locked up with in Folsom: did a couple, two-three years. He got out, and I ran into him. Vincent Hanna: [pauses, waiting for Richard to continue] And so? Richard Torena: He's a big fiend for action. Now if he'd said nothin', I'd have thought nothin'. But he goes on and on to me about how he's been doing nothin' and nothin' here's been going on and all this other bullshit, so right then and there I know: this cat's got somethin' goin' down. Vincent Hanna: [long pause] Pretty fuckin' great. [to Albert] Vincent Hanna: Albert, what's wrong with you? You drag me here, waste my time like this. [to Richard] Vincent Hanna: You saw a guy, on the street, who's an ex-con? Richard Torena: That's right. Vincent Hanna: Well I am... over-fuckin' whelmed. What d'you want for that, a junior g-man badge?

Waingro: Want some pie?

Bosko: I figure this guy went for that hold out piece, ankle holster right from here. Bang, bang, bang-bang-bang.

Vincent Hanna: Seven years in Folsom. In the hole for three. McNeil before that. McNeil as tough as they say? Neil McCauley: You lookin' to become a penologist? Vincent Hanna: You lookin' to go back? You know, I chased down some crews; guys just lookin' to fuck up, get busted back. That you? Neil McCauley: You must've worked some dipshit crews. Vincent Hanna: I worked all kinds. Neil McCauley: You see me doin' thrill-seeker liquor store holdups with a "Born to Lose" tattoo on my chest? Vincent Hanna: No, I do not. Neil McCauley: Right. I am never goin' back. Vincent Hanna: Then don't take down scores.
47
Vincent Hanna: I got an idea what they're looking at. Vincent Hanna: You know what they're looking at? Vincent Hanna: I mean - is this guy something, or is he something? Vincent Hanna: This crew is good! Vincent Hanna: You wanna know what they're looking at? Dr. Bob: What? Vincent Hanna: Us. Vincent Hanna: The L-A-P-D. Vincent Hanna: Po-lice Department. Vincent Hanna: We just got made...
48
Van Zant: Who are you? Waingro: Waingro. My name's Waingro. Van Zant: I've been living in the office day and night, how well do you know him? Waingro: Oh, we took some major scores together. Van Zant: [nods slowly] How come I haven't heard from him? Waingro: Well, he's probably busy right now. But he's real thorough. He ain't gon' forget about you. Van Zant: Oh that's reassuring. Waingro: [chuckles]
49
Neil McCauley: Where's the key? Bank Guy: What key? Neil McCauley: [smacks bank guy in the face so hard that it bleeds. He then rips his shirt open and gets the key that's around his neck] [Bank Guy touches bleeding face] Neil McCauley: Don't touch your face. Let it bleed.
