- Boulder: [from trailer] Next time there's a new guy... tell him to let the big bad black motherfucker go.
- Gloria: I guess I should be grateful. If it wasn't for these shoot-outs, I wouldn't see you at all.
- [approaching Malone with a syringe]
- [first lines]
- Malone: [narrating] Getting shots never easy. The bullets tend to hurt. A lot. If they go straight through, fine. With that you can deal. It's messy, but it's over soon.
- Malone: [at gunpoint] It's a lonely thing, killing a man. Once you start, once you kill somebody someone cares about, pulling that trigger becomes a way of life.
- Evelyn: No one cares about you.
- Malone: You sure about that? You pull that trigger, you start to build a wall of corpses around you. the higher you stack 'em, the safer you feel. So you just keep pulling that trigger. Bang. Bang. Bang. It's a cold world, Evelyn. But at least I know how to stay warm in it. Scotch is far easier, trust me.
- Whitmore: [to Boulder] Men will work hard for money. But they will absolutely kill themselves for love.
- Boulder: Matchstick, you gotta burn every place you rob?
- Matchstick: Disco should'a died when Abba broke up. I'm just helping it along...
