Okay. We'll get the money together. Don't worry about it, Jerry. Now, d'you want anyone at home, with you, until they call?
Jerry:
No, I- they don't want- they're just s'posed to be dealin with me, they were real clear. Ya know, they said no one listenin in, they'll be watchin', ya know. Maybe it's all bull, but like you said, Stan, they're callin the shots.
Stan Grossman:
Okay. And Scotty, is he gonna be all right?
Jerry:
Yah... Geez... Scotty. I'll go talk to him.

How ya doin there, Stan? How are ya, Wade?
Stan Grossman:
Good to see ya again, Jerr'. If these numbers are right, this looks pretty sweet.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Oh, those numbers are right, all right. Believe me.
Wade Gustafson:
This is doable.
Stan Grossman:
Congratulations, Jerry.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Yah, thanks, Stan, it's a pretty--
Wade Gustafson:
What kind of finder's fee were you looking for?
Jerry Lundegaard:
Huh?
Stan Grossman:
The financials are pretty thorough, so the only thing we don't know is your fee.
Jerry Lundegaard:
My fee? Wade, what the heck're you talkin about?
Wade Gustafson:
Stan and I're okay.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Yah.
Wade Gustafson:
We're good to loan in.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Yah.
Wade Gustafson:
But we never talked about your fee for bringin it to us.
Jerry Lundegaard:
No, but, Wade, see, I was bringin you this deal for you to loan me the money to put in. It's my deal here, see?
Stan Grossman:
Jerry, we thought you were bringin us an investment.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Yah, right.
Stan Grossman:
You're sayin'... What're you sayin'?
Wade Gustafson:
You're sayin that we put in all the money and you collect when it pays off?
Jerry Lundegaard:
No, no. I- I d, pay you back the principal, and interest. Heck, I'd go one over prime?
Stan Grossman:
We're not a bank, Jerry.
Wade Gustafson: [[w:Midwest Federal Savings & Loan|Midwest Federal]
What the heck, Jerry, if I wanted bank interest on seven hundred fifty thousand I'd go to ]. Talk to Bill Diehl.
Stan Grossman:
He's at Norstar.
Wade Gustafson:
He's at--
Jerry Lundegaard:
No, see, I don't need a finder's fee, I need a... finder's fee's, what, ten percent? Heck, that's not gonna do it for me. I need the principal!
Stan Grossman:
Jerry, we're not just going to give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
Wade Gustafson:
What the heck were you thinkin'? Heck, if I'm only gettin bank interest, I'd look for complete security. Heck, FDIC. I don't see nothin like that here.
Jerry Lundegaard:
Yah, but I... Okay, I would, I'd guarantee ya your money back.
Wade Gustafson:
I'm not talkin about your damn word, Jerry! Geez, what the heck're you--
Stan Grossman:
We’re not a bank, Jerry.
Wade Gustafson:
Well, look, I don't want to cut you out of the loop, but this here's a good deal. I assume, if you're not interested, you won't mind if we move on it. Independently.

The Untouchables - Capone's Perspective on Power and Public Will
Reporter:
An article, which I believe appeared in a newspaper, asked why, since you are, or it would seem that you are, in effect, the mayor of Chicago, you've not simply been appointed to that position.
Capone:
Well, I'll tell ya, you know, it's touching. Like a lot of things in life, we laugh because it's funny and we laugh because it's true. Now, some people will say - reformers, they'll say, Put that man in jail! What does he think he is doing? Well, what I hope I'm doing, and here's where your English paper's got a point, is - I'm responding to the will of the people.

The Shawshank Redemption - Perceptions of Time in Isolation
Heywood:
Was it worth it, two weeks in the hole?
Andy:
Easiest time I ever did.
Skeet:
Bullshit. No such thing as easy time in the hole.
Jigger:
A week seems like a year.
Snooze:
Damn straight.
Andy: [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mr. Mozart]
I had ] to keep me company.
Floyd:
So they let you tote that record player down there, huh?
Andy: [points and taps his head.; gestures over his heart]
It was in here. And in here. That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
Ellis:
Well, I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it, though. Didn't make too much sense in here.
Andy:
Well, here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
Ellis:
Forget?
Andy:
That there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside that they can't get to. that they can't touch. It's yours.
Ellis:
What are you talkin about?
Andy:
Hope.
Ellis:
Hope? Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. You'd better get used to that idea.
Andy:
Like Brooks did?
