Quotes Tommy: So let me get this straight, it's 30 days, right? and you guys are hunting me for my life but you cannot touch me if I am with someone and the hunters might not even ever make it to my city, so there's a chance I spend the entire 30 days and no one even finds me and then I get a million dollars, that's the game?
Magnus: Are you interested?
Tommy: Let's play.
