• Frank Veldin : I need to talk over a couple things with you. You layin' off the cars?

  Jesse Veldini : Yeah, for a while. Thought I'd get my old job with the wrecking crew back first, do some straight work for a while, till I get enough to open my own pack. Then you're gonna' see something, Frank. Not just your average, small-time fender dentin', hell no! We're gonna' do *real* demolition! And we're not gonna' just limit ourselves to cars, no sir! We're gonna' bring in campers... tractors... Dump trucks, school buses. Grain threshers - anything you want. And then when we get goin' good, then we're bringin' in the best of all: mobile homes! Can't you just see those two mothers mashin' into each other? Woooh!

  Frank Veldin : [unimpressed]  God damn it Jessie, sit down.

• Bill the Police Captain : How do you want me to handle Iris Caine?

  Frank Veldin : Oh, I'll take care of her. She'll be alright.

  Bill the Police Captain : How can you trust a hooker?

  Frank Veldin : Look, I got her bag now. She owes me.
