5 quotesInsurance Premium Increase Before The Purge
Laney Rucker
What the hell's going on?
Joe Dixon
The damn insurance company. They just raised the premium on my Purge coverage. By thousands. The day before the damn Purge. If I don't pay it by tomorrow, I have no Purge coverage for this store.
Marcos
They can't do that.
Joe Dixon
Yeah, well, they just did it.
Joe Dixon
Yeah, but that's not enough. If I have no insurance, I am screwed. I'll just have to protect this place myself.
Laney Rucker
Are you crazy?
Marcos
That's not a good idea, boss.
Laney Rucker
Look, we love this place, too, Joe. I've been coming here since I was born. But it's just stuff. It can be replaced. You can't be.
Joe Dixon
Yeah, but what about what you do on Purge Night, Laney? Huh? Is that not the pot calling the kettle brown? No?
Laney Rucker
That's different, Joe, and you know that. I'm protected, and you won't be.
Joe Dixon
This is all I got, guys. This is my slice of the pie. Man, I cannot, I can't lose this place. I just... I can't lose this place.

Go now!

If you stay, I stay.

Just leave.
Marcos
Joe, listen to me. For some reason, the Senator ended up in our neighborhood, in your deli. Maybe it's our duty to help protect her. We'll rebuild the deli. Whatever it takes, you and me. I promise.

Get outta my face, old man!

Let's not do this the hard way, okay? I'm giving you an out. All right, give up the candy or I'll have to take it away from you.

Debate on Senator Roan's Courage and Challenges
Reporter #1
As she's done many times before, Senator Roan broke security protocol, walking off the stage, stepping into the audience.
Joe Dixon
Tell you this much, she got em little titties, but she got some big-ass balls. She ain't got a snowball's chance in a steam bath of winning this thing, but she be taking on them ol white-haired George Washington wannabe mofos all by herself. And to that, I say bully for her.
[watching on TV]
Laney Rucker
Oh, horseshit. She's full of it, too. Nothing'll ever change.
Joe Dixon
Hey, Laney. Laney, Laney? I think we've offended Marcos with our anti-Senator talk.
Marcos
The Senator's going to win. She's gonna make real changes, too. You'll see. All she needs is Florida. She gets the 29 electoral votes from Florida, that puts her over 270. She can do it.
Joe Dixon
Smartass. All that useless shit and can't butter a damn bagel correctly.
Marcos
I could butter your bagel, boss.
Joe Dixon
Oh, you'd butter my bagel? Well, you got jokes over there. Yeah, you just be careful, kid, with all that hope, cause it can be a bad thing. Hope can lead to a lot of letdown. Tell him, Irish I.
Irish Ike Jenkins
Excuse me, what? I'm not paying attention. I'm thinking about waffles and pussy. That's all I ever really think about, actually.
Joe Dixon
Irish I, ladies and gentlemen.
Irish Ike Jenkins
The fuck you laughing at? I'm dead serious.
Joe Dixon
Ah, fuck!

Betrayal and Consequences in Chaos
Senator Charlie Roan
How the hell did it get to this?
Leo Barnes
Who is he? Why is he cuffed?
[''Seeing Rondo'']
Laney Rucker
Rondo. Two bullet holes delivered by a rival gang, but he's a good kid. He's chained up cause I didn't want him Purging anymore. So, Senator... NFFA made a move on your ass.
Senator Charlie Roan
Seems that way.
Laney Rucker
Goddamn conniving, duplicitous, crooked, cocksucking politicians.
Senator Charlie Roan
Agreed. We're not all that bad.
Laney Rucker
My experience, Senator? My people are on our own, no matter what you all say or promise.
Rondo
I'm kind of confused here. Who the hell is this lady?
Laney Rucker
You big dope! You give people from the neighborhood a bad name.
