Mr. Bart Newberry
- Mr. Newberry: What have you been doing with your life?
- Marty: Uh... professional killer.
- Mr. Newberry: Oh! Good for you, it's a... growth industry.
- Mr. Newberry: Did I have you figured wrong?
- Marty: I don't know - I mean, I hope so.
- Mr. Newberry: I visualized you in a haze as one of those slackster, flannel-wearing, coffee-house misanthropes I've been seeing in "Newsweek."
- Marty: No no no, I went the other road. Six figures, doing business with leadpipe cruelty, mercenary sensibility. You know - sports, sex, no real relationships with anybody. How about you, how have the years been treating you?
- Mr. Newberry: Well, you know me, Martin. Still the same old sell-out, exploiting the oppressed...
- Marty: Sure.
- Mr. Newberry: "Ah, what a piece of work is man, how noble..." ah, fuck it. Let's have a drink and forget the whole damn thing.
- Martin Q. Blank: You must've done some *naughty* shit there, Bart.
- [flips dossier over to him]
- Martin Q. Blank: There's a contract out on your life. Believe me. I was hired to kill you, but I'm not going to do it. It's either because I'm in love with your daughter or because I have a newfound respect for life.
- Mr. Grocer: [following in van] That punk is either in love with that guy's daughter or he has a newfound respect for life.
- Mr. Newberry: [after reading dossier] My whole life!
- Martin Q. Blank: Hopefully not.
- Marty: [at the end of a running gun battle] You don't need to answer right now, but Debi, will you marry me?
- Mr. Newberry: [pokes his head up from the bathtub] You got my blessing!
- Mr. Newberry: Design Division wants me dead over a leaky sunroof and you want to kill me because of *that*?
- Martin Q. Blank: It's *not* me! Why does everyone always think it's personal?
