Jimmy

You like living in Canada?

Oz

No, I live here with my wife.

Jimmy

I take it you're not Canadian.

Oz

Only by marriage.

Jimmy

You're a dentist?

Oz

Afraid so.

Jimmy

You suicidal?

Oz

Why would you say that?

Jimmy

Well, I read that dentists are prone to suicide.

Oz

Look, Jimmy, I may hate my life, but I certainly don't want to die.

Jimmy
[after Oz makes him laugh]

You sure you're a dentist?

Oz

Yeah. Why?

Jimmy

Because I've never met a dentist I liked.

Oz

Well, I try to keep things as painless as possible.

Jimmy

Me too.

[on the phone, as his wife is driving him to the airport]

Are you going alone?

Oz

Yes.

Good, can you do me a huge favor while you're there? Go out, and get laid.

Oz

Jill! [covers the phone]

And call me the second you get back. Better yet, call me right after. Call me during! I want all the details!

Oz
[after Frankie beats a confession out of Oz]

I MAY know where he is.

Well, all right. But don't tell me. Let's go tell Janni.

Oz

Okay. You mind if I piss a little blood first?

Please, by all means.

You what? You told Jimmy? What the hell did you do that for?

Oz

I felt sorry for him! I like him. Well, I liked him?

So you don't like him no more?

Oz

Well, it's a little hard to maintain a friendship with a man who wants to kill you.

If you sold my ass out to Janni, then told me about it, I'd want to ice your ass, too!

Oz

I know. [Frankie sucks on his teeth] You know, I can close that gap for you.

Really?

Oz

Yeah, you'd be in and out.

You're kidding. This thing right here?

I vant you to understand, when it comes to Yimmy Tudeski, we're not talking about a human being. We're talking about a rodent! We're talking about wermin! [pause] Where was I?

Oz

Wermin, I think. Wermin.

We're talking about someone - **** THAT! - some THING that doesn't deserve to be breathing. The AIR!

Promise me something.

Oz

Anything.

You'll go slow. I haven't made love in five years.

Oz

Neither have I. I've been married.

Oz

I swear, I am not gonna let anybody kill you.

Under the circumstances, I think that's probably the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me.

Oz

Thanks.

But he knows I don't want to be married to him any more, and like I said, he doesn't believe in divorce.

Oz

But murder he's okay with?

It's what he does.

Oz

All right, maybe he won't come after us. Maybe he'll just let us go. [Cynthia just looks at him] All right, maybe I can talk with him, reason with him. I mean, we're friends now, right?

That's what Harry Lefkowitz thought.

Oz

What happened to Harry Lefkowitz? [Cynthia just looks at him] I don't want to know what happened to Harry Lefkowitz.

Oz

He sa... he said you guys haven't even met.

Sophie

Who you going to believe? A contract killer or your wife?

Oz

Do I have to answer that?

Your wife is not a nice person.

Oz

You're expecting an argument?

Oz

Damn it, Jimmy. Why the hell did you have to go and move in next door to me?

Jimmy

Oz, do you know what kind of soil they have in this back yard? I've been here two days and I've got little tomato plants...

Oz

Oh my God.

Jimmy
[After Oz tells him he is in love with Cynthia, over the phone]

Will you listen to yourself? What are you talkin' about, you love her? You just met her! [to Frankie] He said he's in love with Cynthia!

No shit!

So SHE'S the one!

Jimmy

She's the one what?

The one he schtupped in Chicago!

Jimmy

The one he... [to Oz] My wife? You shtupped my wife, Oz?

Oz

I wouldn't exactly phrase it that way, exactly...

Jimmy
[with increasing anger]

No, no, no! Let me get this straight. You went down to Chicago and engaged in sexual CONGRESS with my wife? Is that it?

Jimmy, Jimmy, calm down!

Jimmy
[now livid]

IS IT? I SWEAR TO GOD...!

Oz
[Jill takes the phone from Jimmy] [to Cynthia]

He's a little upset. I've managed to upset a mass murderer.

Jimmy

TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE! [to Jill] Get him to tell you where the **** he is! [into phone] JUST STAY RIGHT THERE! [Jill takes the phone away] It's a DISGRACE...

[into phone]

Oz, you stud, you!

Gonna be a dead stud.

You really meant it, didn't you? What you said?

Oz

About loving you? Of course! What did you think this was all about?

[shrugs]

Sex. I mean, GREAT sex...

Oz
[chuckling]

It was pretty good... Is that all this has meant to you?

Don't get me wrong, Oz. I like you a lot...

Oz

Well, that's great to hear, but I've got news for you. I don't generally go around risking my life for people who just like me.

Jimmy

But just so you know, I am disappointed, Oz. I am extremely disappointed with you.

Oz

Believe me, you are the last person I would ever want to disappoint, but everything I everything I did, was for love.

Jimmy

Yeah, whatever.

Jimmyi

You're a lucky guy, Oz.

Oz

Why would you say that?

Jimmy

You're about to find out if the woman you love loves you. You know, if it were me, in her position, I'd just take the money and run.

Oz

So what are you betting on?

Jimmy

I'm betting on love. Love for you means money for me. And like I said before, I'd really hate to have to kill you.

Oz
[After Jimmy shoots Frankie]

Why...why...why? Why did you kill him?

Jimmy

Well, I had to kill one of you.

Oz

Well, then you definitely made the right decision. But why did you have to kill him?
