The Town 2010 quotes

Adam Frawley

I didn't realize you left your job at the bank.

Claire Keesey

Uh... oh yeah. Yeah. Last week. I'm sorry, was I supposed to notify someone?

Adam Frawley

Fancy.

Claire Keesey

Yeah. It was a gift.

Adam Frawley

We have our suspects. I came by to share this with you. [takes several photos from the envelope he's holding] James Coughlin. Albert Magloan. Desmond Elden. Part of the crew that we tied into the bank job at North End and at least three other armed car robberies. [He shows her the next photo, which is a mug shot of Doug] Look familiar? You opened the safe for him. He left you unharmed. And now the two of you are carrying on a relationship about which you lied to the FBI. I was wrong, you do need a lawyer.

Adam Frawley

You used to hang around with Doug MacRay a little bit, huh?

Krista Coughlin

How do you know Dougy?

Adam Frawley

We sorta worked together.

Krista Coughlin

Sand and Gravel?

Adam Frawley

No. No. [pulls out a $20 bill] You a pretty decent judge of size?

Krista Coughlin

Depends. Size of what?

Adam Frawley

What do you think? 6 inches? Under or over?

Krista Coughlin

Under.

Adam Frawley

Wrong. 6.1 inches. See I know everything there is to know about money. Thickness, 0.0014 inches. Weighs about 1 gram.

Adam Frawley

You know what that means? That means this $20 bill isn't even worth it's own weight in value for Oxycodone.

Adam Frawley

You thinking of running out on me? Not gonna work. Because once I start waving this, [flashes FBI badge] it's trouble for you.

Krista Coughlin

I want a lawyer.

Adam Frawley

Good, get one. Because it's all about protecting yourself. Not even yourself... you have to protect your daughter.

Krista Coughlin

Don't talk about my daughter.

Claire Keesey

A few days ago my bank was robbed. Four men took over and opened the safe. They took me as a hostage. Uh... they blindfolded me and drove me around. And then they stopped and let me out over at the beach and... and one of the guys told me to walk until I felt the water on my toes. It's the longest walk of my life, I kept thinking I'd step off a cliff. And... and then I felt the water.

I'm sorry.

Claire Keesey

It's not your fault.

Claire Keesey

I lied to the FBI.

What?

Claire Keesey

When the guy attacked David, I could see the back of his neck and he had a tattoo.

Of what?

Claire Keesey

It was one of those fighting Irish tattoos. I'm afraid if I report it they'll make me testify. What do you think I should do?

You tell the FBI. If the guy's got a record, and I'm sure he does, they'll have his tattoos on file. They'll ring him up the next day. Robbery, weapons, he'll get thirty years. Of course he'll worry someone's gonna come looking for the witness. FBI will probably want to put you in a WitSec, you know, witness security. You know, he'll probably put you somewhere, like you know in uh... Cleveland or Arizona. You know, somewhere safe. Or... you could wait. You have a card, there's nothin' says you gotta play it right away. You're the one who's vulnerable in this situation right now. The FBI are just people, like anyone else who want to find the bad guy so that they can go home and do their supper. You have to look out for yourself, Claire.

Claire Keesey

Quite an expert.

Not really. Just watch a lot of TV. I watch a lot of CSI. So I'm a really big expert on all this. I know. And Miami CSI and New York CSI. All the... all of them I have watched.

Claire Keesey

You're well prepared.

And Bones.

I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.

James Coughlin

...Whose car are we gonna take? (and they rush to the prospects to beat up a tough guy who damaged Claire's car...)

You following us, Jem? Who were you tailing, me or her?

James Coughlin

I told you. I made the Avalanche.

You got nothing to worry about. It's all under control.

James Coughlin

So, you're trying to get us jammed up, that it?

Yeah, I'm trying to get you jammed up.

James Coughlin

Tell me you got a move here, Dougie. Cause the only way I see it, is that you got sprung like a goddamn bear trap on some toonie pussy who happens to be the one goddamn person-****! the one person that can give us to the **** feds.

Calm down. Don't you think we need to be smart right now?

James Coughlin

Smart? Let's start **** all the witnesses. Oh yeah I'm blowing the Assistant manager, am I smart now? And no, I didn't tell the other guys because they'd flip the **** out! And I want them ready for the next thing.

I told you, the next **** thing ain't ready yet.

James Coughlin

Then **** make it ready!

I don't like the guards on the next thing, alright. One kid is like **** G.I. Joe, He wears the vest on the outside and tucks his pants into his **** combat boots.

James Coughlin

The truck's **** waist high.

We'll find another truck with the driver who's a **** fat kid with his **** shirt on top who don't think he's special forces.

James Coughlin

Well I know you're happy in ****-city over there but I waited nine years in Walpole for you mother****er, just nine years that's all. I'm done waiting

This is the last one. We're hitting pause after this. We get pinched, remember whose idea this was, okay? Be ready on Friday.

Fergus 'Fergie' Colm

You're going to do this for me, or I'm going to clip your nuts, like I clipped your daddy's.

Don't talk about my father.

Fergus 'Fergie' Colm

Son, I knew your daddy. He worked for me for years. Years. Then he wanted his own thing. You play the horses? You know they either geld the horse with a knife or with chemicals. When your Daddy said no to me, I did him the chemical way. Gave your mother a taste. Got the hook into her. Ahh, she doped up good and proper. Hung herself with a wire, on Melnea Cass. And you, running around the neighborhood looking for her. Your daddy didn't have the heart to tell his son that he was looking for a suicide doper who was never coming home. If there's a Heaven, son, she ain't in it.

I'm thinking about um... taking a trip. Going dark for a minute.

Takin' heat?

Nah, just... Makin' a change.

Yeah, don't tell me. "Makin' a change." Either you got heat or you don't. I heard a bread truck got dropped.

Oh, yeah? I didn't hear about it.

Okay.

You got five minutes! Five minutes!

Let me ask you something. In case I don't see you again. How come you never... How come you never looked for her?

Uhhhhh... Looked for who?

For Ma. For my mother. How come you never looked for her? How come you never tried to call nobody or look for her, or ask around?

Look, when your mother left, you cried so hard you were throwin' up. All over parlor. So I told you if you looked around you might find her. Just to give you an activity. I didn't think you'd carry it like a ****in' disease. What, you wanna think she was an angel? Go ahead. But look out your front door. How many 22 year old girls are out there, they're ****in' around with kids they don't want... and... you know... no sense in their heads. And your mother wasn't no different. That's the hard truth. I made my peace with it. You make yours. I didn't look for her because there was nothin' to find. Look, I gotta die five times before I get outta here. But, I'll see you again. This side or the other.

Krista Coughlin

There he is. Mr. Six Inches.

Adam Frawley

What happened?

Krista Coughlin

You're a crime stopper, figure it the **** out.

Adam Frawley

Sweetheart, I know you have oxycodone, cocaine and alcohol in your system. I know that you have five cars registered in your name and I know right now your daughter is sitting in the back of a state van, being driven by a stranger to the Department of Social Services. So, how long do you wanna do this?

Krista Coughlin

I'm a person, you know?

Adam Frawley

Yeah, you're a person who's gonna need a plea agreement if you ever wanna see your kid again.

Krista Coughlin

Why is it always I'm the one who's gettin' used?

Adam Frawley

You and your boys didn't just roll a Star Market over in Malden for a box of quarters. No, you decided to bang it out in the North End at nine o'clock in the morning with assault rifles. You **** dummies shot a guard! Now you're like a half off sale at a Big & Tall - every cop is in line. Fortunately though, for you, this guard, who is two-thirds to a ****, has miraculously clung to life. Now, if it were up to me, and they gave me two minutes and a wet towel, I would personally asphyxiate this half-wit so we could string you up on a federal M1 and end this story with a bag on your head and a paralyzing agent running through your veins. This isn't **** Tommy Hopscotch anymore, Doug. But I did wanna say one thing: You're here today so I can personally tell you that you are going to die in federal prison. And so are all your friends. No deal. No compromise. And when that day comes when you start trying to be my hero collaborator so hard that I have to slap you to shut up, and it will come, despite your pitiable, misguided, Irish Omertà. When your code of silence finally gives way to fear of trafficking in cigarettes to prevent sexual enslavement, I just want you to know that it's gonna be me who tells you to go **** yourself.

Hey, next time you guys wanna take pictures of me, just call ahead. You know, we can do better than a barbecue. A calender shoot... you know, maybe topless, lubed up. Whatever you guys are into. The FBI car antenna's are half inch mat black about three quarters way down the rear windshield. Statie a pigtail, BPD half and half. Every pewee in town knows what an FBI rear antenna looks like. So in the future you guys need try to be slick, be slicker than a six year old. I gotta get back to work. Can I go? [he gets up to leave the interrogation room] Good luck with that print.

No matter how much you change, you still have to pay the price for the things you've done. So I got a long road. But I know I'll see you again - this side or the other.

Adam Frawley

This is the not **** around crew so get me something that looks like a print because this not **** around thing is about to go both ways.
