Dalton Russell

My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and never repeat myself. I have told you my name, and that's the who. The where can most readily be described as a prison cell. But there's a vast difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being imprisoned. The what is easy. Recently, I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery. That's also the when. As for the why, beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's exceedingly simple. Because I can. Which leaves us only with the how. And therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.

Dalton Russell

When I said that I planned the perfect bank robbery, I meant precisely that.

Dalton Russell

You have four seconds. Anyone still standing gets shot.

Dalton Russell

My friends and I are making a very large withdrawal from this bank. Anybody gets in our way, gets a bullet in the brain.

Dalton Russell

Peter, think very carefully about how you answer the next question, because if you get it wrong, your headstone will read: "Here lies Peter Hammond, hero who valiantly attempted to prevent a brilliant bank robbery by trying to hide his cellular phone, but wound up getting shot in the **** head."

Dalton Russell

When I'm good and ready, I'm gonna walk right through the front door.

Dalton Russell

Fact is, all lies, all evil deeds, they stink. You can cover them up for a while, but they don't go away.

Soon I'm gonna be sucking down Piña Coladas in a hot tub with six girls named Amber and Tiffany.

No, it's more like in the shower with two guys named Jamal and Jesus...and here's the bad news; that thing you're sucking on? [in a sing-songy voice] It's not a Piña Colada!

Dalton Russell

Lady? Believe me. This is the only situation where I'd ask you to do this. But take off your **** clothes.

Miriam

No. You should be ashamed of yourself. [Dalton points gun at her head] What's with you mishegoyim? Go ahead, make my day.

Dalton Russell

Take your **** clothes off, lady.

Miriam

No!
