Delroy LindoQuotes

Tom Mullen: Why would they ever let my son go, no matter what I do? I mean, no matter what I do... pay, don't pay, comply, tell him to go fuck himself - why would they give him back? I mean, he's a witness any way you cut it. It's all bullshit, it's all just... seven out of ten.

Kate Mullen: What are you saying?

Tom Mullen: All right: Morlock Man gets his money, I don't think we'll ever see Sean again. That's if he's still alive to begin with.

Agent Lonnie Hawkins: Whoa, now. Are you talking about not paying?

Kate Mullen: No! No, we pay him!

Tom Mullen: Now wait a minute. Listen to me... Morlock man says the pickup guy will give me an address for Sean. I get there, the guy sticks a gun in my face. I said, "You want the money, now give me the address? Where's the address?" You should've seen his face. He had no, absolutely NO idea what I was talking about. None!

Agent Lonnie Hawkins: Okay...

Tom Mullen: This is not business to him. This is very personal.

Agent Lonnie Hawkins: I tell you that everybody pays, and we get back 7 out of 10.

Tom Mullen: If we give him what he wants, he will kill Sean!

Agent Lonnie Hawkins: Tom, you've got to play the odds, man. I've been doing this for eighteen years, and if I were a betting man, I would bet on the people who pay every time, out of the gate.

Tom Mullen: Did you bet on the ones where you got back a corpse?

Det. Roland Castlebeck: I'm a police officer. If you kill me, your life is over.

Calitri: No, you got that the wrong way ’round. If I kill you, your life will be over.

Memphis: Well, without disappointment, you cannot appreciate victory.

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Did Eleanor tell you that?

Memphis: Well that's hitting below the belt.:

Homer Wells: You're having sex with your own daughter.

Arthur Rose: Ain't nobody havin sex with my daughter! Let me just tell you that!

Homer Wells: You're lying. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? What do you care who hears? I mean, come on. They know already, don't they? They know Mr. Rose.

Arthur Rose: And you know what your business is, boy! I know you don't wanna be in no kind of business with me! That's what I know.

Homer Wells: Yeah? Go on. Cut my clothes. I've got other clothes.

Arthur Rose: You gonna come here talkin to me about lies and shame? Those people took you in, and that boy Wally is away at war!

Homer Wells: Yeah, well she's your daughter!

Arthur Rose: And I love her! Ain't never gonna do nothin to harm her.

Homer Wells: She's pregnant, you know that? She's pregnant.

Arthur Rose: Hey, nothin', man. You just go in the house. This ain't none of your concern.

Homer Wells: Just listen to me...

Arthur Rose: You are forgettin yourself now. This is my daughter! Now, I believe ya have your own mess ya gotta deal with.

Rose Rose: [Struggling to get free from her father] I wanna get...

Arthur Rose: Ain't that right, Homer? Ain't that right, Homer? My daughter done told ya and I done told ya. This ain't your business. This ain't none of your business! Ya even know what your business is, Homer? Do ya! Come on, man! What is your business?

Homer Wells: I'm in the doctor business. I can help. That's all I'm saying. I can help.

Peaches: What do they think, go up to the roof to sleep? They must think we're crazy. They think we're dumb niggers, so we need some dumb rules, is what they think.

Rose Rose: That's it? It don't mean nothin at all. And all this time I been wonderin about em.

Arthur Rose: They outrageous, them rules. Who live in this cider house? Who grindin up those apples, pressin that cider, cleanin up all this mess? Who just plain live here, just breathin in that vinegar? Well, someone who don't live here made those rules. Those rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day.

Arthur Rose: [lying in bed, bleeding to death after making Homer and Muddy promise to tell the police he was so upset over his daughter Rose running away that he killed himself; He looks at Homer who nods with reluctance resignation as he finally accepts this truth; dies] That's right. That's the truth. I'm just tryin to put things straight. Sometimes, ya gotta break some rules, to put things straight. Ain't that right, Homer? Good.

Arthur Rose: Sometimes you gotta make some rules to think straight.

Delta Slim: Y'all smell anything?

Annie: No.

Delta Slim: I think I shat myself.

Jedediah: You keep dancing with the devil, one day he's gonna follow you home.

Delta Slim: See, white folks, they like the blues just fine. They just don't like the people who make it.

Grace: Come on in, you motherfuckers!
