  Biderman : You know, Carl, it might be easier just to steal another million dollars.

• Biderman : What do you expect?

  Carl Quigley : What I expect is that if I give someone a million dollars and I come back the next day, I find the million dollars. That's what I expect!

  Biderman : Carl, I'm not a magician okay.

  Carl Quigley : So you can make it disappear but you can't make it reappear is that it?

  Carl Quigley : Hey, Preston

  [showing control pad] 

  Carl Quigley : What's this?

  Preston Waters : [nervous]  Well you turn the little knob, and...

  [making a short depth movement smashes the control pad against the cement floor. Another suspense sound follows as the thing breaks in two but itsy bitsy pieces go bouncing/rolling off] 

  Juice : You know kid, you shouldn't have let us in. All your little toys could get broken.

  Carl Quigley : [cracks knuckles happily]  Kid, where's Macintosh?

• Carl Quigley : So where you gonna find a kid, Mr. Family Man?

  Biderman : Newspapers.

  Carl Quigley : You want me to advertise? Is that it?

• Biderman : You can use these checks. They're temporary.

  Carl Quigley : Thank you, Edward.

  Biderman : Like our relationship.

• Biderman : [after breaking into the Waters' house]  Looks like no one's home.

  Carl Quigley : Shut up, Wienerman!

  Biderman : Biderman.

  Carl Quigley : Where is he?

  Butch : I don't know, but he might be down the street at Mr. Macintosh's. That's his boss.

  Carl Quigley : Macintosh. Come on!

  Juice : You know, I do like what they have done with this color.

• Biderman : Wait. Quigley sent you?

  Juice : That's right.

  Biderman : What about the kid?

  Juice : What kid, man?

  Biderman : THE KID! The kid with the backpack!

  Juice : Look here, man, I'm tired of telling you this.

  [gestures with his index finger] 

  Juice : But if you don't give me the money for that check, I guarantee you there's a bullet with your name on it in this chamber.

  Biderman : The kid with the backpack. The kid with the backpack! The backpack! The backpack! Shit! Oh, my god!

• [Biderman burns the $1 million check Preston brought in. Dejected, Preston walks towards the door until he hears Biderman say...] 

  Biderman : I assume you want large bills?

  Preston Waters : [turning around happily]  Actually, regular-sized bills will be just fine.

• Biderman : Juice?

  Preston Waters : No, thanks. I'm not thirsty.
