- Pablo Escobar: [looking at piles of cash] This is the problem?
- Gustavo Gaviria: People are watching us, Pablo. They're asking themselves how two small businessmen suddenly came up with so much cash.
- Pablo Escobar: Gustavo, brother... just launder the money. Make it look legitimate, that's all. Isn't that what Al Capone did?
- Gustavo Gaviria: Al Capone?
- Pablo Escobar: Al Capone.
- Gustavo Gaviria: You're a dumbass, Pablo. Al Capone is a terrible example.
- Pablo Escobar: Why?
- Gustavo Gaviria: Because Al Capone never had this much cash.
- Steve Murphy: [as narrator, about Pablo Escobar] When you've run out of ways to hide your money, that's when you give it to the poor.
- Steve Murphy: [as narrator] Pablo's cousin Gustavo flew chemists in from Germany to liquefy the cocaine. They added it to liquor, to coffee, and just to be funny... they put it back in Coca-Cola.
- Pablo Escobar: [looking at the sword of Simón Bolivar] I want you to run my day-to-day operations.
- Gustavo Gaviria: And you'll do what?
- Pablo Escobar: Liberate Columbia.
- Steve Murphy: [as narrator] Sending the photos of the hanging M-19 to the newspapers gave Pablo an image of invincibility. If he could do this to the feared communists, he could do it to anyone.
- Steve Murphy: [as narrator] From 10,000 feet, Colombia was a paradise of untouched rainforest. But things were different on the ground. Pablo and his partners built superlabs the size of small cities. From leaf to paste to powder, they produced 10,000 kilos a week. At 50 grand a kilo, that's five billion dollars a year.
- Colombian Official: What do you do at the United States Embassy, Mr. Murphy?
- Steve Murphy: I am in, uh, janitorial services.
- Colombian Official: Janitorial services. Another one. Your embassy must be very clean.
- Steve Murphy: Oh, yeah. You bet your ass it is.
- Connie Murphy: Hey, did we leave the door open?
- [then seeing their cat hanging by a cord]
- Connie Murphy: Oh, my God, Steve!
- Steve Murphy: Get back.
- [enters with his gun drawn]
- Steve Murphy: You stay right there and don't move.
