Quotes 

• Rosie : All this time, you don't even pretend to ask how I've been.

  Porter : [after groaning]  You need any cash or anything?

  [Rosie throws an object at Porter, but he catches it in his hand] 

  Rosie : Get yourself killed, prick. I ought to tell him you're coming.

• Porter : You got a light?

  Val Resnick : What?

  Porter : You got a light?

  Val Resnick : No.

  Porter : Then what good are you?

  [Porter puts a pillow over Val's head and shoots him] 

• Val Resnick : Beauty of the Chows is that they won't go to the cops. They keep everything in house... and they don't feel pain the way we do.

  Porter : You notice anything about those guys, Val?

  Val Resnick : They look nasty... probably all Kung Fu-motherfuckers. Why, did I miss something?

  Porter : They weren't wearing their seatbelts.

• Rosie : How strong are you, Porter? Personally, I think you are the strongest man I have ever met. But I wonder if it's enough.

  Porter : For what?

  Rosie : If I know you, you want this Resnick guy for something he won't like.

  Porter : Yeah, I'm gonna kill him.

  Rosie : That's something he won't like.

• [last lines] 

  Rosie : I gotta get you to a hospital.

  Porter : No hospitals. I know a guy.

  Porter : No... no.

  [Porter holds Rosie's hand over the backpack of money] 

  Rosie : Just tell me where to go.

  Porter : Just drive, baby.

• Porter : Where's Val?

  Lynn Porter : Gone. Moved out two months ago.

  Porter : Where?

  Lynn Porter : Don't know.

  Porter : Who's paying your rent?

  Lynn Porter : Val.

  Porter : Why?

  Lynn Porter : Payoff, I guess.

  Porter : [angrily, grabbing her arm]  What, you guess? You don't know?

  [Lynn gets her arm back, and Porter beats her up] 

• Porter : [showing Lynn the photo of him and Rosie]  Look at that. That's before we met, baby. Think about it.

• Lynn Porter : So what are you gonna do, Porter?

  Porter : I'm gonna get my money back.

  [Porter realizes that's not what she was referring to] 

  Porter : Oh, you mean what am I going to do to you? Well that depends on you. Where's Val?

  Lynn Porter : I told you, I don't know.

  Porter : Did he ever buy his way back into the syndicate?

  Lynn Porter : Yeah.

  Porter : How do you get your payoffs?

  Lynn Porter : A messenger, first of every month, leaves an envelope with cash in it.

  [pause] 

  Lynn Porter : So who was she, anyway? That girl in the picture.

  Porter : I met her when I got out of prison. I used to drive her, keep her safe while she worked.

  Lynn Porter : What were you, her pimp?

  Porter : No. We both worked for that asshole.

• Val's Thug : I think I fucked you once.

  Rosie : Oh yeah?

  [Rosie points gun at thug] 

  Rosie : What do you think the odds are on twice?

  Porter : [to Rosie]  I'll meet you at the L in ten minutes.

  Rosie : I'll be there.

  [Rosie leaves the truck] 

  Porter : I don't think your odds are good.

  [Porter executes the thug in cold blood] 

• Rosie : Tell me something Porter. When did you decide to leave? Was it that night we slept together?

  Porter : No.

  [deep sigh] 

  Porter : It was the next day when I had to drive you to work

  Rosie : Could've asked me to quit

  Porter : [looks up at her, softly]  You could've asked me to drive you somewhere else
