5 quotesIntroducing Characters and Their Associations
Uco
I believe Benny and his boys introduced themselves yesterday?
Rama
Which one is Benny?
Uco
Him. Now, while I'm in here, Benny and his associates are with me.
[Motions head to goon with bandaged nose]
Rama
Oh, yeah? And who are you?
Uco
You'll figure that out at some point. And when you do, maybe you'll show me a little more fucking respect. But for now, I'll be tolerant.
Rama
So, what does that mean? Want me to apologize?
Uco
This? This is my "just in case". There's never enough walls to cover your back. Even you. Especially after your little "display". I'm someone who can put walls up. I can cover your back in any square inch of this place. You may not know who I am now. But when you do, you'll realize how real my offer is. Join with us... and own this wing with me. We could use someone like fighting on our side.

Rama
I'm flattered but-
Uco
Just so you know, I hate rejections.

With all due respect, I don't really like spending my time acting tough in toilets. Excuse me.
[Gets up from table]
Uco
Listen... in here, you'd be wise to pick a side. Loners don't tend to last long.

How you doing, Rahmat?

Come and get it, hero.

Navigating Trust and Deception in Criminal Networks
Bunawar
Rama listen. Do enough to get inside, but not enough to keep you there for good.

Enforcer
Explain to me again why I need a fucking farmboy?
Undercover cop
Seriously, you gotta see this kid in action. No bullshit, he's got some crazy mad skills. When it all kicked off, he got me out. And check this shit out! See that? Kid took a fucking machete to the face for me. His is all fucked up, mine is as miserable as ever.
[Points to scar on Rama's face]
Enforcer
You talk at all or just stare?! You know I got no time for starers.
Rama
I'm not a fucking farmboy. All bullshit aside, I need the work. I'm a fast learner. I can learn the streets. I just need a chance. You stick a hand out for me, I'll always remember it. But cross me, you won't last long enough for either of us to forget.

What the fuck you say?

Leave it. He can say whatever the fuck he wants, you can't fuck around with him. Come on. Forget about him, this is more important.

Fauzan
Sure, sure, sure.
Politician's Son
Pour a drink for me. Let me introduce you first, this is Yuda.

[''Rama kicks a karaoke singer, pushes the hotshot and walks away, wrapping a string around a right hand'']
Pimp
This is your last fucking warning again bitch.
[''Rama kicks the pimp sending him flying leg up onto a couch, then Rama takes the hookers hand and takes her away, then walks up to four men at a table, then whips one man in the face, slams one man's face into the table, punches one and smashes a bottle in another and then starts a whipping frenzy on the politician's son'']

Rama
Pull me out now.
Bunawar
I'm afraid I can't do that.
Rama
What do you mean, you can't? What have I not witnessed? Murder, extortion, bribery? Corruption.
Bunawar
You were never investigating Bangun, you knew that. We want the cops they pay. You think you're alone in this? This isn't your show. None of us are heroes. We're all caught in a big fucking web.
