"Serrano": We want double, and legal residence... or we don't drive.
Corlette: You leave in four hours.

[Discussing using a helicopter to transport the nitro]
Corlette: Well, what do you think?
Billy White: Well the main problem is the vibration. This thing is like a damn egg-beater, no matter how we shock mount something it'll still have a severe lateral vibration.
Corlette: I thought maybe you could swingload it on a pallet.
Billy White: About twenty feet down there'd be no vibration, but then the problem is turbulence, you might move it a half mile that way but not 200, never had a flight around here without some turbulence.
Corlette: What are you saying Billy?
Billy White: Not with a chopper, there's no way.
Corlette: I'll double the amount if you can think of a way.
Billy White: It's not the money Mr. Corlette. No ones going to get into a chopper with that shit, you'd need a suicide jockey.
