Sam quotes from Dirty Work (1998)

Mitch

Sam, you remember how things were when we were young?

Sam

Yeah, it was great.

Mitch

Yeah it was. I mean, I felt good about myself back then, y’know? If somebody messed with me, no problem. I didn’t take crap from anybody. Now I’m in my thirties, I can’t hold a job, I go with women I don’t even like. And worst of all, I take crap from absolutely everybody. Ah well, things could be worse, y’know, I uh… [louder] I coulda got my nose bit off by a Saigon whore!

Jimmy

You… bastard!

Sam:' You thinking what I’m thinking?

Mitch

No no no no. I have a plan.

Sam

Oh.

Mitch

You fellas have a lot of growing up to do, I’ll tell you that! Ridiculous! Completely ridiculous! You believe these characters? Way out of line, way out of line! I’ve a good mind to go to the warden about this! You know what hurts the most is the… the lack of respect! You know? That’s what hurts the most. Except for the… except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.

Sam

Hey doc, what happened to your foot?

Dr. Farthing

What I don’t understand is, when you owe a bookie a lot of money, and he, say, blows off one of your toes, you still owe him the money. Doesn’t seem fair to me. Especially when he’s gonna kill me in four days anyway.

Mitch

I mean we’ve always been like brothers. Now it’s just official. I mean it’s kinda cool.

Sam

Yeah, I guess it is cool. But it does change things.

Mitch

How’s that?

Sam

Well, like remember the second grade, when we used those rusty soda can tops to become blood brothers? Well, it was really a bunch of trouble for nothing, because we were already brothers.

Mitch

Yeah that’s right. Hey, hey! Hey, remember in fifth grade, when I was under the monkey bars and I sneaked a peek at your sister’s underwear? You remember that? Hey, no no: I was sneaking a peek at my own sister’s underwear!

Sam

That’s right. Oh yeah, and remember in the twelfth grade, you had sex with her?

Mitch

Okay, enough reminiscing.

Kathy

You two are brothers?

Mitch

Yeah, it’s a long story.

Sam

My dad boned his mom.

Mitch

Okay, it’s a short story.
