A scene from The French Connection 1971
Howard
[analyzing drug shipment]

Blast off: one-eight-oh. [as thermometer keeps rising] 200: Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Two ten: U.S. Government certified. Two twenty: lunar trajectory, junk of the month club, sirloin steak. Two thirty: Grade A poison. [when the thermometer tops at 240] Absolute dynamite. Eighty-nine percent pure junk. Best I've ever seen. If the rest is like this, you'll be dealing on this load for two years.

So you say it's worth half a million?

Chemist

How many kilos?

Sal Boca

Sixty.

Chemist

Sixty kilos, eight big ones per kilo, right? This stuff will take a seven to one hit on the street.

Sal Boca

And by the time it gets down to nickel bags, it will be worth at least thirty-two million.

Thank you, Howard. Take what's left there with you and good night.
