Sid Pachanski:
[Brooke pays $260 cash for a helicopter shuttle]
Only people who pay cash these days are criminals and politicians. Brooke Newman: ... and people who don't like questions asked. Sid Pachanski: I'd say you're either running out on your old man or you got a suitcase full of drugs. [Brooke doesn't reply] Sid Pachanski: Those weren't questions. Brooke Newman: I think that I would prefer to take another service. Thank you. [Brooke takes her cash back and heads for the door] Sid Pachanski: Suit yourself, lady. 'Course, uh, I got the only helicopter service in Lubbock. [Brooke pauses] Sid Pachanski: All I'm asking, lady, is that you take those mirrors off. I trust eyes more than words or money... and I don't do anything for anybody I don't trust. [Brooke takes her sunglasses off; Sid stands up, walks over to her, and looks deeply into her eyes] Sid Pachanski: Great eyes. See more » |
