Quotes 

• Axel Walker : There's just one thing I've been dying to ask. Why did you choose me?

  James Jesse : Because I knew you had the strength to fulfill my legacy. Besides, it was in your blood.

  Axel Walker : Wait. What do you mean in... in my blood?

  James Jesse : The real reason I tracked you down and groomed you to be the best you could possibly be, Axel - I am your father.

• Mayor Anthony Bellows : Who are you?

  James Jesse : How quickly they forget. James Jesse, your honor.

  [removing his disguise and mussing up his hair with a maniacal cackle] 

  James Jesse : AKA the Trickster. And I'm here to relieve you fine people from all your money. Because we know if you're in this room, oh, ho, ho... you've got loads of it.

  [Axel pulls out an assault rifle] 

  Mayor Anthony Bellows : What makes you think that anyone in this room would give you a cent?

  James Jesse : Because... that champagne they just slurped down like so much fruit punch? I added a little something special to it. Trimethylmercury-32. Poison.

  [he cackles again] 

  James Jesse : Without the antidote, you'll begin to feel the effects in about, oh, um...

  Axel Walker : One hour!

  James Jesse : One hour.

  [a guest stumbles forward, foaming at the mouth] 

  James Jesse : I remember you. You got to the party about an hour early. I offered you the very first glass of champagne.

  [he cackles as the man collapses] 

  James Jesse : An hour is plenty of time for all of you to call your bankers and transfer everything you have to the account number on the bottom of your glass. Once my young friend and I are rich, you'll get the antidote. If any of you decide to call 911 instead, well...

  [he holds up a pistol] 

  James Jesse : ...then we switch to lead poisoning.
