Roman
(while trying to talk down a Hostage Taker through a closed door)

Yeah, I like animals better than people sometimes, especially dogs. Dogs are the best. Every time you come home, they act like they haven't seen you in a year. And the good thing about dogs... is they got different dogs for different people. Like pit bulls. The dog of dogs. Pit bulls can be the right man's best friend or the wrong man's worst enemy. You gonna give me a dog for a pet, give me a pit bull. Give me... Raoul. Right, Omar? Give me Raoul!

Omar
(shouting at his Pitbull that is constantly barking)

I **** hate Raoul! Shut the **** up, asshole! Son of a bitch won't shut up!

Roman
(to his partner Nathan)

Hates Raoul. Farley **** up the list.

Roman
(talking again to Omar through a door)

Yeah, I can dig it, Omar. I had a dog like that, a poodle. She didn't bark, though. She pissed on the floor. I hated that dog. But if I was ever depressed, she'd lay her head in my lap, look up at me with those big old eyes. And even though I thought I hated that dog... I loved her. It's like that, ain't it? That love-hate thing.

Omar
(getting more erratic)

No more goddamned talk! I can't wait anymore. I want my wife! I want her up here. Or I'll do our daughter.

Roman

Omar. Listen to me.

Omar

No more **** talking. I want that bitch or I'll do the girl.

Roman

Omar, I'm doing the best I can here, man.

Omar

I'm not gonna hurt her. I just want her to see me blow my brains out. I want her to think about that when she's sucking that fat prick's ****.
