To Live and Die in L.A. 1985 quotes

Bob Grimes

I don't have a lot of time. I'm in the middle of a trial.

John Vukovich

What kind of trial?

Bob Grimes

It's a dope case. Client got busted smuggling fifty pounds of cocaine. I should be able to get him off, though. Seach warrant's weak.

John Vukovich

Weak?

Bob Grimes

Color of the house is listed as brown in the warrant, when in fact it's beige and yellow.

John Vukovich

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Bob Grimes

I don't make any apologies for being an attorney. If I didn't accept the case, somebody else would, without a doubt. Without a doubt.

Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!

Rick Masters

Hello Jeff.

What are you doing in my crib.

Rick Masters

You sent two assholes to do Cody and they blew it. I paid you half, I want it back.

Yeah, well uh... I'm trying to get that money back myself. I had to front the whole purchase to get my people to do their thing. So I ain't got any more.

Rick Masters

Well, then uh... you better try and shit 40 grand, because I ain't leaving without it.

I owe you Cody. Next time there be no ****-up.

Rick Masters

What next time? He's in protective custody.

Hell, protective custody don't mean shit to me! The man's dead.

Rick Masters

In a pig's ass!

John Vukovich

So now you want to commit a robbery?

Richard Chance

I wouldn't call it that.

John Vukovich

What would you call it?

Richard Chance

Taking down a douche bag who's trying to break the law.

John Vukovich

We got an FBI agent killed. You hear that?

Richard Chance

What do you want me to do about it, John?

John Vukovich

It's just a matter of time before they ****in' identify us. They got a good look at us.

Richard Chance

A face is bullshit without a name.

John Vukovich

They got a make on the car!

Richard Chance

Look, they would have sent it out over the teletype if they had anything. They're grabbing at shit.

Richard Chance

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Thomas Bateman

You must be a mind-reader. I was just going to call you. I have decided to let Vukovich work with you.

Richard Chance

Do I have a choice?

Thomas Bateman

Oh, is there someone else you'd prefer? You're welcome to fill out a Form 19, and list all the reasons you'd rather not work with him. Your info would be strictly confidential.

Richard Chance

I wanna get Rick Masters.

Carl Cody

I've taken four falls, I've never ratted anybody in my life, and I've had plenty of chances, believe me.

Richard Chance

Masters is your friend. I don't blame you, I would never hang up a friend. Anybody who would is a piece of shit. Thing is, your friend tried to have you iced.

Carl Cody

That doesn't mean I'm gonna roll over and play informer. If you're looking for a pigeon, go to the park.

Richard Chance

If I was one of your asshole cronies, you'd be spread-eagled on your desk to do this for me!

Judge Filo Cedillo

Don't say something you'll regret later.

Richard Chance

You know what this is?

What's the game?

Richard Chance

It's no game. Just walk.

Why?

Richard Chance

Why? Because if you don't, I'll blow your **** heart out.

Rick Masters

How you making it?

Carl Cody

Like every other swinging dick in this place makes it. Day by mother**** day.

Rick Masters

I want my paper, Jeff. I can't afford to have it circulating right now.

I told you I don't have it.

Rick Masters

Get it. You broke your contract with me Jeff. Now, I don't know whether you're into it but you're gonna have to suck on this until you give me back my paper!

Rick Masters

You have my word you won't have to do the whole nickel.

Carl Cody

What does that mean?

Rick Masters

Grimes is the best lawyer in the state. It'll either be an appeal bond or a sentence reduction.

Carl Cody

And the check is in the mail, and I love you, and I promise not to come in your mouth...

Ruth Lanier

How much do I get for the information I gave you on Waxman?

Richard Chance

No arrest, no money.

Ruth Lanier

It's my fault he's dead? It took me six months to get next to him. I got expenses, you know.

Richard Chance

Guess what? Uncle Sam don't give a shit about your expenses. You want bread, **** a baker.

Carl Cody

He's a lying son of a bitch! He's probably the mother****er who did me. He ratted me to the feds. I'll kill him when I get out! I'm gonna give that ****in' scumbag a serious headache. May God strike me dead if I don't waste him.

Richard Chance

You ain't my partner! You ain't even my **** friend. In fact, let me give you a little piece of advice: you better get your ass into protection, baby! Because you ain't shit on the streets! You understand that? You ain't got the nuts! Kiss my ass! Pussy mother****er!

Eric 'Rick' Masters

Everybody knows Rick Masters won't go near a job without front money. You should also know that I never **** a customer out of his front money. I've been coming to this gym three or four times a week for five years. I'm an easy man to find. My reputation speaks for itself. The fact is that if you can't come up with the front money you're not for real.
