Edit

  • Frank: Why don't you go back there. Keep watching.

  • Rachel: [sees her son, Fletcher, getting into a boat] You know, Fletcher can't swim very well.
  • Herb Farmer: I guess he'd better stay in the boat, then.
  • Rachel: You know, Farmer, you're a self-righteous son of a bitch.
  • Frank: [chuckles]
  • Rachel: And don't you laugh at me! Don't you dare judge me!
  • Frank: Oh, give me a break, will ya? I didn't tell you to fuck everybody in the hotel!
  • Rachel: Well, you don't look like a bodyguard.
  • Frank: What'd you expect?
  • Rachel: Well, I don't know, maybe a tough guy?
  • Frank: This is my disguise.
  • Rachel: What's going on, Frank?
  • Frank: I want to keep it straight in my head what job I'm doing.

  • Rachel: And you're ready to die for me?
  • Frank: It's the job.
  • Rachel: And you'd do it? Why?
  • Frank: I can't sing.

  • Rachel: Unless I lose the fuckin' award.
  • [She laughs and Sy gives her a glare]
  • Rachel: Jesus, what a group!
  • [Puts on lipstick]
  • Rachel: Screw it. I'm tired of worrying about it. When your time is up? It's up.Right, Frank?
  • Frank: Aw, Christ, I told you why! I - I can't protect you like this.
  • Rachel: So that's it for me? That's it?
  • Frank: Yeah.
  • Rachel: Well, I don't believe it!
  • Frank: Well, you can live with it, or you can fire me.
  • Rachel: But I can't fuck you.
  • Frank: The people who hire me, they don't have to be convinced to save their own lives.
  • Frank: You're too old to be this naive !
  • Nicki Marron: [to Frank, referring to Rachel] Everybody said she was a sure thing... But of course, you already knew that.
  • Rachel: [Skip is nervously prompting Rachel to return to her seat before her award category is presented] I'm moving as fast as I can, Skip, why don't you go twitch somewhere else?
  • Frank Farmer: We're adding to your duties. You're my new assistant.
  • Henry: Says who?
  • Frank Farmer: Henry, I've spent a lot of time guarding people all over the world, and I've found one thing to be true - no matter how incompetent the assassins, no matter how much they miss their target, there's always one person who always gets hit.
  • Henry: Who?
  • Frank Farmer: The cocky black chauffeur.
  • Fletcher 'Fletch' Marron: She's real mad at you, isn't she?
  • Fletcher 'Fletch' Marron: She told me she does not understand why you're being so shitty to her.
  • Frank: I don't like it when you use language like that Fletcher.
  • Frank: I spent a lot of time learning not to react to things like other people do; it's my job... It doesn't always work... Doesn't always work.
  • Fletcher 'Fletch' Marron: I don't think I understand.
  • Frank: I am an old man compared to you pal, and I don't understand either... I'm starting to get the feeling that I will never will.
  • Rachel: And I want to be able to eat brunch with my friends.
  • Frank: So go on Tuesdays.
  • Sy Spector: Tuesday morning brunch? Where'd you get this guy, Bill?
  • Rachel: [to Frank] What are you looking at? You've probably never had a heavy night in your whole damn disciplined life.
  • Frank: It's Portman, the guy from Miami!
  • Tony: Right, pencil neck?
  • Rachel: I don't trust discipline. I know, at that crucial moment, I'd cop out.
  • Frank: I don't want to talk about this again.
  • Frank: [when asked how he uncovered the identity of the assassin] They don't wash cars on the parking levels.
  • Frank: [Pressing Kingman to the concrete, after firing gun] Stay down. Just stay down.
  • Rachel: *while being comforted by Frank* Do you want to know why I behave this way?
  • Frank: [after Nicki kisses him] You're a lovely woman.
  • Nicki Marron: But you don't want me. I'm surprised. Thorough fellow like yourself. Why stop at one sister when you could have fucked them both?
  • Frank: I make my mistakes.
  • Nicki Marron: But you didn't say no to the boss.
  • Frank: This is the night.
