• Jensen Ames : So where's the ammo?

  Gunner : We get that on race day.

  Jensen Ames : Pity.

  Coach : Yeah, everyone thinks that... the first time.

  Jensen Ames : Thinks what?

  Coach : About turning the guns on the guards. About escaping.

  Jensen Ames : No, I wasn't thinking that.

  Coach : Well, I'm glad, because Hennessey's got electric kill switches on all the guns on all the cars. And all the guard towers are fortified, and their guns are bigger than your guns. Oh, did I mention the helicopters and also the fact that we're on an island here a mile from the nearest shoreline? The only way in or out of here is on that one skinny bridge you came in on.

• Coach : Who's the new guy?

  Lists : Jensen Ames.

  Gunner : The driver?

  Coach : Never heard of him.

  Gunner : Oh, yeah. I saw him race years ago. He was good. He did some time upstate. Killed his career.

  Lists : [reading from a notebook]  Holder of the fastest laps at Willard, Union, and Butler.

  Coach : [seeing some prisoners approach Jensen Ames]  I hope he's as fast off the track as he is on it.

• Coach : Tomorrow morning you'll meet your navigator, Case. She'll help you navigate the course, reload your weapons, and help with the running of the car.

  Jensen Ames : I'd love to talk to her ahead of time before the race.

  Gunner : Yeah, I'd like a big-tittied girl to lick peanut butter off my toes, but it ain't gonna happen. This is still a prison, man. She's a chick. They get bussed in from the women's facility upstate.

  Coach : It's all about ratings. Fast cars, pretty women...

  Gunner : Machine-Gun Joe's the only one that has male navigators, 'cause he's gay.

  Lists : A-a-actually it's because he goes through them so fast, and the a-a-audience gets squeamish.

  Gunner : Yeah, he goes through them... through their ass.

  Coach : He cuts each kill into his skin as a souvenir, I hear.

• Gunner : Man, what is this supposed to be?

  Coach : Oatmeal... I think.

  Gunner : Man, how do you fuck up oatmeal?

• Gunner : [upon seeing rocket-propelled grenades on top of Machine-Gun Joe's car]  What the hell are those?

  Lists : Model 7 Russian State Armory RPGs - armor piercing, self-arming, accurate to a thousand yards.

  Gunner : That's what I thought.

• Jensen Ames : [seeing Gunner push a button in the car]  What's that?

  Gunner : The most important part of the car.

  [a cigarette lighter pops up and Gunner lights his cigarette with it] 

• Lists : 14K. First generation Chinese-American, 10th generation triad. His father sent him to business school, and he's the only man in here who holds a degree from MIT. He's killed four men off the track...

  Gunner : That we know of.

  Lists : ...another seven on it.

• Gunner : [referring to Machine-Gun Joe]  Man, that's one angry homo.

• Lists : Travis Colt. Our local superstar. He used to race for NASCAR...

  Gunner : Yeah, he was good too.

  Lists : ...until he fell asleep behind the wheel of his Mercedes with the help of a bottle of Scotch and a handful of 'ludes. Wiped out the entire patio of Moscala, sent a dozen people to the hospital... and killed three of them.

  Coach : Technically, he's the best driver in here, but a mean son of a bitch quitter.
