George 'Bullets' Durgom Tell ya, I'm gonna turn you into a millionaire yet, kid.
You got it backwards, Bullets. I'm turnin' you into a millionaire.

You were just what?! You were just what? Takin' the credit like everybody else? Who's the one bustin' his rump out there every night?

...Borrow? [laughs]
George 'Bullets' Durgom Alright, c'mon. We're all just having a good time here--
Oh, you sure the hell are. You have big steaks and booze up my expense, why not have a good time at my expense?
Jackie. If I said something wrong? I apologize. You know what I mean? Nothing by it.
Nah, nah, it's not a matter of something wrong. You just said what's on your mind.

Are you, Bullets?
George 'Bullets' Durgom Of course I am. The whole world's proud of you.

George 'Bullets' Durgom He's the one who missed out. It's his loss.
Try tellin' that to an eight year old kid. [pause] Alright, c'mon. Let's go fool 'em.
