Quotes10

  • Porter: Who makes the decisions?
  • Carter: Well, a committee would make the decision in this case...
  • Porter: One man... you go high enough you always come to one man... who?
  • Carter: There's an old expression that's served me well: "Do not shit where you eat."
  • [Porter has just shot Carter]
  • Carter: You just don't get it, do you, you dumb... fuck.
  • [dies]
  • Carter: There are three ways we can handle this. One: we can help you. Two: We can allow you to help yourself. And Three: We can have you replaced... We have an investment in you Resnick, of time, money and training. So assisting you would be, in a way, protecting our investment. And THAT is always good business policy.
  • Carter: The Outfit is not unreasonable, Porter... but no corporation in the world would agree to what you're asking.
  • Carter: There's something you want from me.
  • Porter: Val Resnick gave you a hundred and thirty thousand dollars...
  • Carter: He paid us. It was a debt.
  • Porter: Seventy thousand dollars of it is mine, and I want it back.
  • Carter: I'm sorry. Resnick told me, but I seem to have misplaced your name.
  • Porter: Porter.
  • Carter: Porter, right. I won't forget it again.
  • Carter: Stitch this mutt up, Phil.
  • Phil: Any Polaroids or trophies?
  • Carter: No, not this time.
  • Carter: Do you understand your value to the organization, Resnick?
  • [pause]
  • Carter: You're a sadist. You lack compunction. That comes in handy.
  • Carter: I don't want Mr. Bronson hearing about this... he'll think I'm getting soft. One of his principles has always been: if you don't understand it, get rid of it... a stitch in time, so to speak, so... stitch this mutt up, Phil.
  • [as soon as Porter enters Carter's office, he knocks out his two bodyguards, and takes one of their guns]
  • Carter: Bravo. Sit down.
  • [Porter does]
  • Carter: My compliments. They were two of my best.
  • Porter: No, they weren't. They lull too easily.
