• Dohmer : Where's Gladden?

  Nat Harbin : In the kitchen.

  Baylock : Yeah, she's in the kitchen. You know why she's in the kitchen? So you can't look at her! You're always *looking* at her.

  Dohmer : What am I supposed to do? Look at you?

• Baylock : There's a 30 year rap staring me in the face. Can't you see my only move? I gotta take a stroll, Nat. I gotta stroll and clear outta this country! And the quicker I get started, the better chance I'll have. I've always wanted that chance. Hoped for it. Dreamed about it. The one juicy haul that puts the money in my pocket - the money that takes me on a long, long trip. Central America. I'll stay there. I'll have what it needs to stay there. 20,000 George Washingtons. 20,000. Enough to buy some ground. Grow something. Bananas. Anything.

• Baylock : Why don't you grow up?

  Gladden : You stay out of it.

  Baylock : You're over 21, you act like 12.

• Baylock : It ain't as if you got eyes for her. If you were sweet on the chick, I could understand it; but, you aren't. You hardly even look at her. You don't even know she's around.
