"You can crank the volume as much as you want, but don't touch my levels; I got 'em just like I like 'em."
"I hate to be the kinda **** that do a **** a favour and then BAM hit the **** up for a favour in return but I gots to be that ****."
"AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every mother****er in the room. Accept no substitutes."
"My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass."
"That's some repugnant shit!"
Ordell Robbie Now that there is the Tec-9, cheap-ass little spray gun made outta South Miami. It retails for $380. I get 'em for 2, sell 'em for 8. They advertise this Tec-9 as the most popular gun in American crime. Do you believe that shit? It actually says that in the little booklet that comes with it: "the most popular gun in American crime". Like they're actually proud of that shit.
Ordell Robbie You know man, I hate be the kind of **** that do a **** a favor and then Bam! hit the **** up for a favor in return, but I gots to be that kinda ****.
Ordell Robbie You know your bail bondsmen, don'tcha? You know all them mother****ers as crooked as a barrel of snakes, don'tcha?!
Ordell Look at you and your free ass. Come here, boy, gimme a mother****in' hug.
Beaumont Good lookin' out, man. I don't know what to say. Thank you, thank you...
Ordell Uh-huh. Who was there for your ass?
Beaumont You were there for my ass.
Ordell Who?
Beaumont You.
Ordell Who?
Beaumont You!
Ordell Whooo?
Beaumont You ****, damn!
Ordell You goddamn right. That's how that shit works: you get your ass in trouble, I get your ass out. That's my mother****in' job. And I don't mind telling you, ****, it's steady work.
Beaumont I'm still scared as a mother****er, O.D. They talking like they serious as hell giving me time for that machine gun shit.
Ordell Aw, come on, man, they just trying to put a fright in your ass.
Beaumont Well, if that's what they doin', they done did it.
Ordell How old is that machine gun shit?
Beaumont About three years...
Ordell Three years? That's a old crime, man! They ain't got enough room for all the **** running around killing people today, now how are they gonna find room for you?
Beaumont Man, you must be out of your ****in' mind if you think I'm gonna get in this dirty-ass trunk.
Ordell We ain't going nowhere but to Koreatown, man. You ain't gonna be locked in here no more than ten minutes.
Beaumont I ain't ridin' in no trunk for no minute, man.
...
Beaumont I just ain't getting in no goddamn, dirty-ass trunk man. I got a problem with small places.
Ordell Well I got a problem with spending ten thousand dollars on ungrateful, peanut-head **** to get 'em out of jail, but I did it!
Who's that?
Ordell That's Beaumont.
Who's Beaumont?
Ordell An employee I had to let go.
What'd he do?
Ordell He put himself in a position where he was going to have to do ten years in prison, that's what he did. And if you know Beaumont, you know ain't no goddamn way he can do ten years. And if you know that, then you know Beaumont's gonna do anything Beaumont can to keep from doing them ten years, including telling the federal government any and every mutha****in' thing about my black ass. Now that, my friend, is a clear-cut case of him or me. And you best believe it ain't gonna be me.
Ordell This you and me talking, is this like a lawyer-client thing, and you can't repeat nothing I tell you?
Max You're not my client until you get busted and I bond you out.
Ordell Well, if we ain't got no - what's that shit called? - confidentiality, why should I tell you a thing?
Max Because you want me to know what a slick guy you are. You got stewardesses bringing you fifty grand.
Ordell Now why would a stewardess be bringing me fifty grand?
Max Now you want me to speculate on what you do. My guess is you're in the drug business, except the money's moving the wrong way. Whatever you're into, you seem to be getting away with it, so more power to you.
I just felt strange, you know, I thought, if she was your girlfriend...
Ordell But you **** her anyway?
Well...
Ordell Well, I hope you felt appropriately guilty about it afterwards.
Afterwards, I did.
[They both laugh]
Cockatoo Bartender What's your drink, brother?
Ordell Let me have a screwdriver, homes.
Cockatoo Bartender And what about you?
Oh, I'm fine.
Cockatoo Bartender Yes you are.
Ordell Goddamn, girl, you come in here on a Saturday night, I bet you need **** repellant to keep them mutha****as off your ass.
Ordell Is that what I think it is?
What do you think it is?
Ordell I think it's a gun pressed up against my dick.
Well, you thought right. Now take your hands off from around my throat, ****.
Now sooner or later, they're gonna get around to offering me a plea deal, and you know that. That's why you came here to kill me.
Ordell I ain't come here to kill you...
No, no, it's OK, it's OK, now. I forgive you.
Ordell Robbie Goddamn girl, you gettin' high already? It's just 2 o'clock!
Melanie It's that late?
Ordell Robbie You know, you smoke too much of that shit, that shit gonna rob you of your own ambition.
Melanie Not if your ambition is to get high and watch TV.
Ordell I don't wanna hear no ****in' excuses, Louis!
I ain't givin' you ****in' excuses, man, I'm telling you, I don't ****in' - I'm givin' you ****in' reasons!
Ordell Oh, oh, oh, oh, you gonna tell me the reason you lost every goddamn cent I got in the world?
Hey, hey man-
Ordell You gonna tell me reasons?
You better--
Ordell Let me tell you the reason, mother****er. The reason is, yo' ass ain't worth a shit no more!
Well, you-- You better ****in' back off, man!
Ordell What the **** happened to you, man? Your ass used to be beautiful. [shoots Louis again]
