Lyle quotes from The Italian Job (2003)

So come on, gentlemen, shopping list. Who's doing what? Spare no dirty details.

John

Come on, guys. Take a lesson from an old man. Don't spend it. Invest.

In what?

John

In gold.

What are you getting, Rob?

Ah, I don't know. There's a lot of things you can get with a lot of money. You know, I'm just thinking about naked girls in leather seats.

Obviously. See?

Suppose I'll get the Aston-Martin Vanquish. There's not a lot a girl won't do in the passenger seat of one of those things.

Lyle

I'm gonna get a NAD T-770 digital decoder with a seventy-watt amp and and Burr Brown DAC's.

Yeah...

Lyle

It's a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women's clothes off.

Now you're talking!

Thirty-five million dollars, you can't get more creative than that, man? I'm going to Andalusia. The south of Spain. Right over there. [points] Get me a big house, get me a library full of first editions, get a room for my shoes... What about you, Steve?

Steve Bendel

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

You haven't decided yet? Come on, man. Is it the mountain air? Just —

Steve

I liked what you said. I'll take one of each of yours.

Well here's to two of everything for Steve!

Lyle

And then he's just the media darling... He's on the cover of all the magazines, I should have been on the cover of WIRED magazine. You know what he said? He said he named it Napster because it was his nickname because of the nappy hair under the hat. But he, it's because I was NAPPING when he STOLE it from me. He didn't even graduate.

I think it's time to move on, don't you? They shut him down, I wish they'd do the same to you.

Lyle

You want all greens? 'Cause, ah, 'cause you got 'em. [chuckles]

What have you got?

Lyle

Welcome to LA's Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control Operations Center. See, they use video feeds from intersections and specifically designed algorithms to predict traffic conditions, and thereby control traffic lights. So all I did was come up with my own... kick-ass algorithm to sneak in, and now we own the place.

You want to do a dry run?

Lyle

I thought you'd never ask! [turns to his computer, showing a camera] See, red light. [presses button to turn all lights on an intersection green] Green light. [Cars start moving from each direction, causing one vehicle to get T-boned by a car on each side]

Lyle

That's about 2.7 million dollars.

What?

Lyle

No, wait. That's 27...27 million dollars. [A brief pause] YEAH! [everyone in the station is staring at him] I got the... Holy Spirit...you should get on it...it's a good train.
