Ordell Robbie: Now that there is the Tec-9, a crappy spray gun from South Miami. This gun is advertised as the most popular gun in American crime. Do you believe that shit? It actually says that in the little book that comes with it: the most popular gun in American crime. Like they're actually proud of that shit.
13
Ordell Robbie: Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
14
Ordell Robbie: Try not to tear his clothes off, OK? They're new.
15
Jackie Brown: Now sooner or later, they're gonna get around to offering me a plea deal, and you know that. That's why you came here to kill me. Ordell Robbie: I ain't come here to kill you... Jackie Brown: No, no, it's OK, it's OK, now. I forgive you.
16
Ordell Robbie: Is that what I think it is? Jackie Brown: What do you think it is? Ordell Robbie: I think it's a gun pressed up against my dick. Jackie Brown: Well, you thought right. Now take your hands off from around my throat, nigga.

Winston: Look man, there's only three reasons why you can't make your court date. One, you're in a hospital. Two, you're in jail. Three, your ass is dead.

Ordell Robbie: This you and me talking, is this like a lawyer-client thing, and you can't repeat nothing I tell you? Max Cherry: You're not my client until you get busted and I bond you out. Ordell Robbie: Well, if we ain't got no - what's that shit called? - confidentiality, why should I tell you a thing? Max Cherry: Because you want me to know what a slick guy you are. You got stewardesses bringing you fifty grand. Ordell Robbie: Now why would a stewardess be bringing me fifty grand? Max Cherry: Now you want me to speculate on what you do. My guess is you're in the drug business, except the money's moving the wrong way. Whatever you're into, you seem to be getting away with it, so more power to you.

Ordell Robbie: Jackie can tell me any story that comes into her pretty little head, just so long as at the end of that story she hands me my motherfucking money.

21
Ordell Robbie: My money's in that office, right? If she start giving me some bullshit about it ain't there, and we got to go someplace else and get it, I'm gonna shoot you in the head then and there. Then I'm gonna shoot that bitch in the kneecaps, find out where my goddamn money is. She gonna tell me too. Hey, look at me when I'm talking to you, motherfucker. You listen: we go in there, and that nigger Winston or anybody else is in there, you the first motherfucker to get shot. You understand? Max Cherry: Yeah. Ordell Robbie: There ain't nothing you want to tell me before we get out of this car, is there? Max Cherry: No. Ordell Robbie: Last chance, motherfucker. You sure? [Max nods] Ordell Robbie: You better be, motherfucker. All right, let's roll.
22
Max Cherry: I'm 56 years old. I can't blame anybody else for something I did.
23
Max Cherry: Jackie wants to give it to you herself, she wants to collect her ten percent. She also wants to explain why she had to hang on to it. Ordell Robbie: Oh, and I want to hear that shit!
24
Ordell Robbie: Who was there for your ass? Beaumont: YOU were there for my ass. Ordell Robbie: WHO? WHO? WHO? Beaumont: YOU, nigga! Ordell Robbie: You goddamn right. That's how that shit works: you get your ass in trouble, I get your ass out. That's my motherfuckin' job. And I don't mind telling you, nigga, it's steady work.
25
Ordell Robbie: I understand woman, damn!

27
Ordell Robbie: What the fuck you doin' knockin on the door like the goddamn police? You wanna die? Max Cherry: I thought you might be asleep. Ordell Robbie: You keep fuckin' with me, you're gonna be asleep forever.
28
Ordell Robbie: Shit, Jackie. You come in this place on Saturday night I bet you need nigger repellant to keep motherfuckers off your ass.

Jackie Brown: Well, I've flown seven million miles. And I've been waiting on people almost 20 years. The best job I could get after my bust was Cabo Air, which is the worst job you can get in this industry. I make about sixteen thousand, with retirement benefits that ain't worth a damn. And now with this arrest hanging over my head, I'm scared. If I lose my job I gotta start all over again, but I got nothing to start over with. I'll be stuck with whatever I can get. And that shit is scarier than Ordell.
30
Ordell Robbie: Somebody with a grudge blew Beaumont's brains out. Oh shit, that shit rhymes! "Blew Beau-mont's, brains out!"
31
Max Cherry: If you've got time, you think you can find out where he's staying? Winston: Cops can't locate him, huh? Max Cherry: They don't have your winning personality.
