The Grifters - Struggling with Honesty and Trust
Lilly Dillon:
I was hoping we could play it straight with one another.
Roy Dillon:
I guess not.
Lilly Dillon:
I guess you won't be getting a straight job, either.
Roy Dillon:
Not this week.
Lilly Dillon:
Not ever.
Roy Dillon:
It's up to me. I'm strictly short con. It's nothing but small time stuff. I can walk away from it anytime I want.
Lilly Dillon:
Where have I heard that before?
Roy Dillon:
Yeah, but I'm in control.
Lilly Dillon:
Sure. You're only 25 years old, already you can lay down four grand without even turning a hair. Grift's like anything else, Roy. You don't stand still. You either go up or down. Usually down, sooner or later.
Roy Dillon:
Well, I'll let it be a surprise, then.

How come?

You aren't tough enough.

Not as tough as you, huh?

The Grifters - Urgent Plea in a Crisis Situation
Doctor:
Miss Dillon, I'm sorry about our little disagreement on the phone. And I'm really sorry about your son. Well, it's hard to believe that such a strapping young man is your son.
Lilly Dillon:
Never mind that, just take care of him.
Doctor:
He's had, he's had an internal hemorrhage. He's bleeding to death.
Lilly Dillon:
Well, make it stop!
Doctor:
His blood pressure's under a hundred. I don't think he's going to make it to the hospital.
Lilly Dillon:
You know who I work for.
Doctor:
There's just so much I can do.
Lilly Dillon:
My son is going to be all right. If not, I'll have you killed.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum - Art and Life: The Complexity of Suffering
The Director: [pause]
You know, when my pupils first come here, they wish for one thing: a life free of suffering. I try to dissuade them from these childish notions, but as you know, art is pain. Life is suffering. All of this for what? Because of a puppy?
John Wick:
It wasn't just a puppy.

Prizzi's Honor - Love and Conflict in Unexpected Places
Charley Partanna: [about Irene]
I met her in a church. It just happened. I knew she was the woman for me. She'd organized the scam in Vegas. I go looking for the bad guy and it turns out to be my woman, can you imagine this? Not only that - Pop tells me she's the piece man for the Nettabino contract. Just the same, I love her, Mae... I love her.
Maerose Prizzi:
Well...
Charley Partanna:
How can I live with this? I gotta do something about it. I gotta straighten it out.
Maerose Prizzi:
Then do.
Charley Partanna:
Do what? Do I ice her? Do I marry her? Which one of these?
Maerose Prizzi:
Marry her, Charley. Just because she's a thief and a hitter doesn't mean she's not a good woman in all the other departments. If she was some kind of fashion model, well it wouldn't last more than thirty days. But you and she is in the same line of business. You are lucky you found each other, you know that, Charley?
Charley Partanna:
Yeah, I guess.
Maerose Prizzi:
She's an American! She had a chance to make a buck so she grabbed it. Marry her, Charley. Then at least I'll be able to get something out of it... I'll be able to go back in the family.
Charley Partanna:
Yeah.
