The Driver: My line of work is kind of hard to come by.
The Detective: It depends on where you look.
The Driver: It depends on who you are.
The Detective: I dunno. Some of the criminal types these days, they, eh, think that they're real cowboys. Think they can just, eh, drive around...do whatever they wanna do...whenever they wanna do it.
[chuckles]
The Detective: I respect a man who's good at what he does. I'll tell you something else: I'm *very* good at what I do.

Trivia
This film was originally intended to be over two hours long. For years even the VHS tapes had said the length was over two hours, although it was always 90 minutes on those tapes, on cable TV, and now on DVD. Only once was the longer version shown, in a theater in Hollywood by director Walter Hill. This director's cut involved more chase scenes and character development. See more »Goofs
Crew or equipment visible: When The Driver elegantly destroys the Mercedes, there is a quick shot where the car hits a wall head-on, then reverses away. The stunt driver is visible as his blond wig almost falls off. See more »Quotes
