Devil in a Blue Dress - A Dangerous Proposition for Easy Rawlins
DeWitt Albright:
Get me some whiskey, Easy.
Easy Rawlins:
Get it yourself. Bottle's in the cabinet.
DeWitt Albright:
Well, I'll be damned. Get us a drink, Manny. Easy, you're a brave man. I need a brave man working for me. But you gotta find Frank Green, so he can lead us to her.
Easy Rawlins:
No, thanks, Mr. Albright. People are gettin killed all around me. You never said anything about all this.
DeWitt Albright:
Easy, you're connectable to two murders. You'll do whatever I tell you to do. Now you got three days to find him. And you make sure you count em right.

Devil in a Blue Dress - Confrontation Over Breaking and Entering
Easy Rawlins:
What you doin in my house, man?
DeWitt Albright:
I expected you to be home, so Manny used a screwdriver on the door. What happened to your face?
Easy Rawlins:
You got no excuse to be breakin into my house -- What if I broke into your place?
DeWitt Albright: [still smiling]
I'd tear your nigger head out by its root.
Easy Rawlins:
So what do you want?
DeWitt Albright:
Where have you been this time of morning, Easy?
Easy Rawlins:
I went to see a girl. Don't you get none, Mr. Albright?
DeWitt Albright:
I didn't come here to play, boy. You got my money in your pocket and we've been over at that address waitin all night for Frank Green and now we've found out that he moved from there over a year ago.
Easy Rawlins:
So what do you want me to do about it? You don't think I did my job. Shit, I give you the money back.
DeWitt Albright:
Do you believe in God, Easy? Cause I'm curious to see if death is any different for a religious man.

Devil in a Blue Dress - A Tense Encounter of Demands and Responses
DeWitt Albright: [to group of kids threatening Easy]
Excuse me.
Kid:
What do you want?
DeWitt Albright:
I want to see brains. I want you to die for me.
Kid:
I'm sorry, sir.
DeWitt Albright:
The question is: "Are you sorry enough?
Kid:
Yessir.
DeWitt Albright:
Then prove it. Show him. Get down on your knees and suck his peter.
Easy Rawlins:
I think he got the point--
DeWitt Albright: [to the kid]
You heard me.
DeWitt Albright:
Son of a gun. You were gonna do it, weren't you?
DeWitt Albright:
Sick bastard.
DeWitt Albright:
Get out of here. You call the cops, I'll kill ya!
DeWitt Albright: [giggles]
I don't think they'd dare call the cops. But it'll cost me a few bucks if they do.

Devil in a Blue Dress - The Choice of Involvement
DeWitt Albright:
One thing I like about working for myself...I always have a bottle on the table. You wanna drink with me? Fine. You don't? Door's right behind you. Joppy tells me you're a war hero. Said you went in with Patton.
DeWitt Albright:
So, you want the job?
Easy Rawlins:
Depends on what kind of job. I don't want to get mixed up in nothing.
DeWitt Albright:
Walk out the door in the morning, Easy, and you're mixed up in something. Only thing that matters is if you're mixed up to the top or not.
Easy Rawlins:
I mean I don't wanna get mixed up with the law...
DeWitt Albright: [he laughs]
Neither one of us wants to get mixed up in that. That's just rich people trying to keep me and you in our place. I'm looking for somebody for a friend.

Devil in a Blue Dress - Job Offer with Unclear Intentions
DeWitt Albright: [writes on a business card]
These big companies, don't give a damn, do they? If you need a job, drop by this address at seven tonight.
Easy Rawlins:
What kind of work you do?
DeWitt Albright: [leaves]
I do favors... I do favors for friends. Drop by.
Easy Rawlins:
Who the hell is that, Joppy?
Joppy:
Just somebody I know... A bidnessman.
Easy Rawlins:
What kinda business?
Joppy:
Oh, I don't ask him all that. He comes in here every so often looking for somebody to do a little job for him... He pays good.
Easy Rawlins:
In other words, he's a gangster.
Joppy:
I didn't say that... But if there's a dollar laying in the street I don't think he'll let a little dirt stop him from picking it up. If you worried about making that house note this month, maybe you wanna pay him a call. All them pretty girls you be with ain't gonna buy you a house. Sound like he just wants you to keep your eyes open for somebody...He'll pay you whether you see anything or not. If it was me I'd take that man's money and go on about my bidness... Ain't nothin to worry about.
Easy Rawlins: [voiceover]
When somebody tells me "Don't worry," I usually look down to see if my fly is open... I noticed Albright didn't bother to pay for his drink. DeWitt Albright reminded me of somebody I knew back in Houston. His name was Raymond Alexander but we called him Mouse... Mouse called hisself a businessman too. And I found out that I shouldn't be nowhere around when Mouse got down to his business... I learned that the hard way.
