[as Freb and Mirror Man watch Sway feeding Toby]
The Sphinx : If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life and inspired you to change your ways, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say poor Toby? I say poor us.
[everyone stares in awe at Sphinx]
Tumbler : He spoke.
Atley Jackson : Yeah...
Memphis : Hey man, I thought you were from Long Beach.
[Sphinx, drinking a beer, just shrugs. Laughter]

Memphis : I just stole fifty cars in one night! I'm a little tired, a little *wired*, and I think I deserve a little appreciation!

[in a Ferrari dealership]
Roger the Car Salesman : My name's Roger, sir. May I be of some help?
Memphis : That's funny, my name's Roger... Two Rogers don't make a right.
[laughs]
Memphis : Roger, I have a problem...
Roger the Car Salesman : Yes?
Memphis : I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.
Roger the Car Salesman : Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that.
Memphis : Perhaps, mmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...
Roger the Car Salesman : You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.
Memphis : Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Raymond Calitri : Am I an arsehole? Do I look like an arsehole?

Det. Roland Castlebeck : Did Eleanor tell you that?

Memphis : I know. I know.
Donny : You got Eleanor here?
Memphis : It's weird, huh?
Donny : It's... voodoo.
Memphis : Oh, nonono, no, don't, don't say that.
Donny : [sings] I put a spell on you.

Sway : What do you think is more exciting... having sex or stealing cars?
Memphis : Having sex or boosting cars... Um, oo! Well, uh... How about having sex WHILE boosting cars?
Sway : Oh, that's a good line. Doesn't work on a lot of girls, though.
Memphis : I just blurted it out, I'm sorry... But, you haven't answered the question.
Sway : Well, you see, the problem is... how do you get over the shifter?
Memphis : Oh, oh right... because the uh...
Sway : 'Cos it gets in the way.
Memphis : Because you wouldn't want to disrupt the syncro-mesh... the throttle linkage... the clutch master cylinder... the overhead camshaft.
Sway : I can't do this.
Memphis : Straight inline 6, triple Weber carburetors, bolted to each other's body structures...
Sway : Well, it's time to work...
Memphis : Good brakes... good brakes, too!
-
Memphis : Control, vision, determination. These are the three fundamental components of the new generation race car driver. Speed is a byproduct. Going fast. But remember: The car is you, you are the car. Okay? Let's ride!
-
Memphis : I am a baaaad man.

[after Calitri falls to his death, Memphis and Castlebeck both look at Castlebeck's dropped gun. Slowly, Castlebeck bends over and picks it up]
Det. Roland Castlebeck : Here I am smack dab in the middle of a moral dilemma, Randall. You've ripped this city to shreds with that little escapade of yours, you and your Eleanor. But I understand what brought you back here. A brother's love is... a brother's love.
[pause]
Det. Roland Castlebeck : You just saved my life, didn't you? So what are we going to do now?
Memphis : It's your call, Detective.
Det. Roland Castlebeck : [chuckles] Get out of here, Randall. I'll clean this up. Go, now, before I change my mind. Go.

[when Calitri turns on the car crusher, Memphis points a gun at him]
Memphis : Shut it off!
Raymond Calitri : You got 30 seconds to consider your options.
Memphis : [screaming] SHUT IT OFF!
Raymond Calitri : One, you kill me, they kill you, your brother dies anyway. Two, you lie, you accept the job, you run, I hunt you down, I kill you, I kill your brother, and I kill your mother for the aggravation you cause me. Three, you accept the job, you steal some cars, you make some money, and you be a big brother.
[Memphis surrenders. One of Calitri's goons turns off the crusher]
Raymond Calitri : 8 a.m. Friday morning. The cars are on the boat, or your brother's in the coffin.

[Freb brings a Cadillac into Otto's place]
Freb : I can deliver more than pizzas, huh? Boosted her myself.
Donny : How did you get this car?
Freb : Actually, the keys were in it.
Donny : Well, that kinda defies the point.
Memphis : You stole a car that wasn't on the list. Why don't you just go to the police station in a red clown suit and let everybody know what we're doing here?
-
Memphis : The ladies are dirty. Walk away. The ladies are dirty.

Memphis : Johnnie B.
Johnnie B. : That's me.
Memphis : What can I do for you?
Johnnie B. : Well, I'll tell you what you can do for me. Get out of Long Beach, tonight.
Memphis : I'm just here for a few days, I'm here on some family business.
Johnnie B. : Word on the street is that Raymond Calitri hired you and your brother for a top order, a order that should have gone to me.
Memphis : That's not the way it went down, Johnnie...
