“We can do things the nice way or the hard way, all right?”
“All I want you to do is pick out the person you saw with the gun in his hand.”
“Yeah, you did a good thing - you did a good thing for a bad man.”
“All I knew was... a rat was the lowest thing anyone could be in my neighborhood... and I didn't rat.”

“That's a big name. You got a nickname or something?“
“Did you shoot that man over a parking space?”

“It don't take much strength to pull a trigger, but try and get up every morning and work for a living!”

“Now you’se can't leave.“

“Let me tell you, I seen more guys with guns wet the bed than anything. It's when the other guy pulls out his gun, then we see who the real tough guy is.”

“ What kind of name is that?”
“Movies? You wanna go to the movies with me?“
“Sorry if I'm saying stupid stuff. It's just I'm so nervous.”
