10 quotesDesperation in a Dangerous Situation
Lloyd
Tapes are not going to be enough.
Billie Jean
What do you mean?
Lloyd
I mean they don't have to give you the money, they'll just hunt you down and catch you. Cops don't have to bargain with you, you don't have anything they want. Unless you offer them a trade.
Ophelia
Whatever is that boy doing?
Putter
It's a trick, I saw it on TV.
Billie Jean
What kind of trade?
Lloyd
I'm going to be your hostage, then they have to reason with you. I'm your guarantee.
Putter
Like when you buy a car.
Ophelia
That's a warranty.

Who paid Mr. Pyatt? Was it you?

Let's get some water on this before the whole place goes up! Just get me some help! Call the fire department! What are you standing here for?! What are you looking at?! Let's get some help here!

Let me get this straight - Brantley is Whitfield?
Brantley Foster
That's right. Brantley is Whitfield; Whitfield is Brantley.
Vera Prescott
And Christy is the bimbo! Well, now that we've all had Mouseketeer roll call, I'm just going to go call my lawyer.
Howard Prescott
No, wait a minute. Christy is not the bimbo I was screwing around with at the office.
Christy Wills
People better stop calling me bimbo!
Howard Prescott
It was an entirely different bimbo altogether.
Vera Prescott
That's fine; how many bimbos would you say there were?
Howard Prescott

Brantley Foster
Except Christy.
Howard Prescott
Right. No!

No, you slept with the boss's wife!

No, the question is how many people did you sleep with in order to get to the top?

That was a very expensive vase, you BITCH!

SHUT UP! What I did was my business, not yours!
Brantley Foster
No, you mean it was company business!
