- Jack: I don't want to get in a bar fight. People are always getting in bar fights. It's such a damn cliche. You hear about it all the time and you see it in the motion pictures, people are getting hit in the head with beer bottles, and furniture, and...
- [breaks a bottle over a man's head]
- Reggie Hammond: Let me tell you something, Jack. If shit was worth something, poor people would be born with no asshole.
- Reggie Hammond: They blew up my car! They blew up my *car*!
- Jack: It's a damn shame.
- Reggie Hammond: They blew up my car and all you have to say is it's a damn shame?
- Jack: No car, no money, you're having a bad day!
- Reggie Hammond: Look, Jack, I gave you the money in good faith, you told me I could fucking trust you and now after all this shit I can't get my money?
- Jack: Well, you finally got the picture, convict.
- [while Jack is being beaten up by barroom toughs, Reggie fires a gun into the air. Everyone stops, and Jack collapses to the floor]
- Reggie Hammond: All right, knock this shit off! I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY BAD DAY! I just got out of jail this morning! Already I've been shot at, I was on a bus that flipped over seventeen times, bitch tried to stab me in the bathroom, and somebody blew up my Porsche! I am in a BAD goddamn mood! Now I usually don't jump in when somebody's gettin' beat down, but this man Jack Cates is gonna help me straighten out the rest of my day! So I suggest you all back up, and let us go about our business!
- Barroom Fighter: 'Cause you got a gun?
- Reggie Hammond: No, because I have a gun and I'll pop a cap in your ass!
- Barroom Fighter: I don't think you got the guts to use it!
- [Reggie shoots the barroom fighter in the kneecap, and the man falls over and screams in pain]
- Reggie Hammond: Anybody else want a limp?
- Reggie: How much of my money did you spend?
- Jack: Oh, about 25 grand. You said I could buy a new car.
- Reggie: So where is it?
- Jack: This *is* the new car!
- Reggie: This looks like the same piece-of-shit sky blue Cadillac you had before!
- Jack: Yeah, I bought the same make, model, year, color, everything the same. That's the way I like it. I get attached to things, Reggie!
- Jack: You got framed. That's what every convict says!
- Reggie: Well, what about you, man? They never found that bad guy's gun out at the racetrack!
- Jack: That's different.
- Reggie: How's it different?
- Jack: I'm a cop, you're a crook.
- Reggie: Oh, get the fuck outta here! Just 'cause I'm a convict, every thin' that comes outta my mouth is a god damn lie?
- Jack: That's right.
- Reggie: So it's just Screw Reggie Hammond?
- Jack: That's right!
- Reggie: When you've been in prison as long as I have, you remember every story about pussy you ever heard.
- Jack: I knew you'd be waiting for me out here.
- Reggie: You think I'm happy about being here think again. I'm supposed to have money in my pocket and a new life and the last thing I wanted was to be hooked up to your dumb ass again and you? You're about two steps away from where I was yesterday so you're not running shit. I'm gonna lay it out straight Jack: I don't like you and I don't trust you.
- Jack: O.K. cut the bullshit ok? Give me something I can use.
- Reggie: The Iceman? The Iceman bought your house.
- Jack: Now God damn it! I said cut the bullshit!
- Reggie: I can't believe you haven't put this together yet. Me and Ganz robbed a drug dealer, *that* was the Iceman, he's still pissed off about the shit. I see your wheels turnin there. Yes, yes, the man who you've been lookin for bought your fucked up car and put a down payment on your house and you've been riding around in a car that he bought for you lookin for him which makes you the dumbest motherfucker in law enforcement. Get in the car, you've got a bad shoulder and I don't wanna get into a wreck. I, unlike you, have a lot to live for.
- Jack: I always wanted a cheuffer, Reg!
- Ben Kehoe: Christ, you really toasted that guy, Jack.
- Jack Cates: Ah, goddammit, I didn't TOAST the guy! I just SHOT him! For Chrissakes, don't say I TOASTED him, Ben!
- [Kehoe is holding Reggie hostage, using him as a human shield]
- Ben Kehoe: Jack, we can work this out! Just let me out of here!
- Jack Cates: You're a disgrace, Ben. Nothing worse than a bad cop.
- Reggie Hammond: Hey, Jack! Thank you for a very pleasant day! Okay, I got no car, I got no money, and I'm gonna end the day off with this goddamn dope man's Uzi by my temple! Thank you, Jack! Look, this is Jack's day, why don't you just let Jack shoot me? Save your bullet! Jack, why don't you shoot me? Shoot me, Jack!
- [Jack shoots Reggie in the shoulder. Stunned, Reggie collapses to the floor, and Jack shoots Ben dead]
- Jack: [the bartender has launched a tirade against Jack about the police in her bar] Is that enough, or do you wanna bitch some more?
- Girl Bartender: [angry] I'm gonna bitch some more!
- [Reggie is released from prison]
- Warden: I'm obliged to give you $100 in cash, and a free bus ride to San Francisco. All compliments of the State of California.
- Reggie Hammond: That's it?
- Warden: That is it.
- Reggie Hammond: [takes the envelope] Thank you for sparing me any of the other crap.
- Reggie Hammond: [on the phone] Reggie Hammond. Yeah, how ya doin' man? I just got out. What? You a born-again Christian? Get the fuck outta here! Naw man, it's just, I just can't picture you bein' no born-again Chri-.. I was there when you beat the bitch up, now...
- Blake Wilson: Now Jack, a cop is a guy, and sometimes a guy steps on his dick. Is that what happened here? Were you pressing too hard and stepped on your dick?
- Willie Hickok: [menacingly] You wanna talk about it?
- Tyrone Burroughs: The man had no choice. Your girl ratted him out to the cops.
- Willie Hickok: Bullshit.
- Tyrone Burroughs: [sternly] I don't bullshit. You both know her. She works as a dancer, lives at the King Mai Hotel. You know, you two should be a little bit more careful about who you hang out with.
- Willie Hickok: Who pulled the trigger?
- Tyrone Burroughs: [getting up from behind his desk] What's the fucking difference who pulled the trigger? The cops were getting too close, that's how the man does business, *business*, not personal. You know you two fucking hillbillies should learn the difference.
- Cherry Ganz: Business. Yeah.
- [shoots Burroughs in the ear]
- Cherry Ganz: That's business too.
- Tyrone Burroughs: [screams in pain, but then begins to laugh, holding his ear] You happy now, asshole? That still doesn't change the job! You got to kill Reggie Hammond.
- Willie Hickok: And how are we gonna do that?
- Tyrone Burroughs: Kirkland Smith. He's the dude that kept Reggie alive in the joint when they had papers out on him. Reggie owes him. I figured out where he's gonna pay it back. The dude's got a daughter, works in the Goodwill store in The Height just off Central.
- Cherry Ganz: Well, you know what we're going to do? We're gonna get Hammond, and we're gonna get the cop... AND The Iceman. And we're gonna kill 'em all.
- Tyrone Burroughs: You just stick to Hammond, Joe Bob. That's the gig.
- [Hickok shoots Burroughs]
- Reggie Hammond: [on a payphone] Hey, Willie Biggs! Reggie Hammond. Hello? Hello.
- [he hangs up]
- Reggie Hammond: Black mother fucker...
- Angel Lee: [Reggie Knocks on door] Yeah, who is it?
- Reggie Hammond: I have a pizza delivery for Miss Angel.
- Angel Lee: I didn't order any pizza.
- Reggie Hammond: Uh, it says um, room 4B for Miss Angel pizza delivery.
- Angel Lee: Hang on a second, I'm going to get something on.
- Reggie Hammond: [looks excited and whispers] Is she naked?
- [looks through the keyhole]
- Kirkland Smith: [to Reggie over the phone] You will... REPAY YOUR DEBT TO ME!
- [Kirkland then proceeds to smash the glass window; cutting to black]
- Lawyer: [after Reggie throws a basketball in Jack's face] You screwed up real good this time, Hammond!
- Reggie Hammond: It was self-defense.
- Lawyer: Nobody's gonna buy that crap!
- Reggie Hammond: Wait a minute man! I served two years for a crime I did, I never fucken denied that! But I just spent FIVE years in here for some shit that was bullshit! I never robbed no damn payroll - you people got murderers in here serving less time than me!
- Reggie Hammond: Stay the fuck away from me until you have my money, alright?
- Jack: I told you yesterday convict - you're not getting your money until you help me.
- Reggie Hammond: I trusted you with my money and my car and you fucked me! I thought you were straight, what the fuck is going on?
- Jack: I've been chasing a drug dealer called The Iceman for the last 4 years. Last week I found out this Iceman wants you dead. Here take a look at this.
- [Shows Reggie a picture of him]
- Jack: I got this off some guy paying someone to make a hit on you. Recognize this guy? In 4 years Reggie, that makes you the best lead I ever had!
- Reggie Hammond: Yeah? Well helping you out while you've got my money is something I DON'T wanna do!
- Reggie Hammond: You let me rot in fucken prison for 5 years and you show up wanting some help? That's bullshit! That's worse than bullshit - that's DUMB man!
- Jack: Reggie this time I promise you it's gonna be different. I'm gonna lose my badge, they're gonna put me in jail.
- Reggie Hammond: You're in trouble with the law this time? Good! As bad as I feel about you keeping my money, that shit almost makes me feel better! Now I'm sure I don't wanna go with you!
- Jack: Now wait a minute, God dammit! I don't beg!
- Reggie Hammond: What you gonna do, whip my ass? Shoot me out here in front of the prison? That's not a very good way to treat the best lead you ever had. Don't worry - I'll come visit you, in about five or six years!
- Reggie: [Boarding a prison bus] Hey man, let's get the hell out of here!
- Bus Driver: Hey, we got a schedule!
- Reggie: Fuck that man, I'm a free man now, I'm not on the state's time no more!
- Bus Driver: Write a letter!
- Reggie Hammond: Man, how could you leave my car outside all these years? Why didn't you put it in the fucken garage? Look at that dirt all over it! What if someone stole it?
- Jack: [Handing Reggie a remote] I had a lock put on it. Just push that blue button right here.
- Reggie Hammond: You have no appreciation whatsoever for what's hype! That's what it is! You don't know how much that car flies! Do you know how much pussy I got because of that car?
- [Pushes the remote button and car blows up]
