Quotes 

• Winston Scott : Let's think about this. What do we have going for us? Okay, for starters, the killers in that hotel, they're men and women, right? They bleed just like we do. They also won't be expecting us, right? Because no one's ever made a run at the Continental.

  Lemmy : Yeah, because it's fucking insane.

• Miles : This track with what you remember?

  Jenkins : Frankie did a good job, but it's a sketch, not a blueprint. There's everything in that building, from secret doors to Cormac's bulletproof glass to... who knows what else he's got in there now. Right there.

  Miles : The armory.

  Jenkins : That's your Holy Grail.

  Winston Scott : Holy Grail for who?

  Jenkins : Whoever gets to it first.

  Miles : Why does a hotel for hitmen have an armory, anyway?

  Jenkins : Crooks are always worried somebody gonna come after 'em, whether it's cops or some other crook. So the, uh, armory helps them get a good night's sleep.

  Winston Scott : We need an inside man.

  Jenkins : Hmm. In the old days, maybe, but... now there's two kind of folk in there: too evil to be trusted or too brainwashed to betray Cormac. It's not a frickin' club anymore, it's a cult.

• Lemmy : [facing the urn containing Frankie's ashes]  I feel like somebody should... say something.

  Miles : I can say a little...

  Winston Scott : I'm going to kill Cormac, and I need all of you.

  Lemmy : I was thinking more like a prayer or something.

  Miles : Cormac is on a different level now, Winston. You so much as spit on his stoop, every freak in and around that hotel will be after you.

  Winston Scott : My point exactly. Coin press is still missing. They're gonna come after anyone who ever knew Frankie.

  Lou : We had nothing to do with this.

  Winston Scott : He's desperate. We have to strike first.

  Lemmy : Let's just give him what he wants. Let this beef die with Frankie.

  Winston Scott : I don't have it, and I have no idea where Frankie would have hidden it. And they will kill all of us before they realize that.

  Miles : It ain't as simple as taking him out. We still got to deal with the Continental.

  Lou : A takeover... of the whole hotel?

  Winston Scott : Listen, if we kill Cormac, we're not only taking his life. We are taking his goddamn house and everything that comes with it... including his hold on the gun-running game.

  [seeing Miles is intrigued] 

  Winston Scott : That's right. Everything will go through you. No longer will you be a middleman living outside the system, you will *be* the system.

  Lemmy : How are we supposed to believe a guy in an ascot can pull this off?

  Winston Scott : That's simple, because I know Cormac. I know how he operates, how he thinks, how he manipulates people, because as a kid, he did it to me and Frankie. We were his errand boys. We thought he was a god.

  Miles : That's not gonna be enough.

  Winston Scott : Well, I also have a lot of money, problem-solving money, enough to build an army. I was planning on starting a new life with it.
