Uncertainty in Connection and Farewell
Karen Sisco
What were you going to do with me?
Jack Foley
I hadn't really worked that part out yet. All I knew is that I liked you, and that I didn't wanna...leave you there on the side of the road and never see you again.
Karen Sisco
Then you waved to me in that elevator.
Jack Foley
Yeah, I wasn't sure if you caught that.
Karen Sisco
I couldn't believe it.
Jack Foley
By that time I had been...thinking about you a lot...and just wondering what it would be like if we met, if we could take a time-out.
Karen Sisco
I was thinking the same thing. I kept thinking, "What if we took a time-out?
Jack Foley
If we... just spent some time together.

What If They Met Differently?
Jack Foley
You sure are easy to talk to. I was thinkin', if we met under different circumstances...if you were in a bar and I came up and we started talkin'...I wonder what would happen.
Karen Sisco
Nothing.
Jack Foley
If you didn't know who I was.
Karen Sisco
You'd probably tell me.
Jack Foley
Just saying if we met under different circumstances...
Karen Sisco
You have got to be kidding.

A Complicated Plan for an Unexpected Encounter

Are you gonna go get him?
Karen Sisco
It's possible, why?

Gun Experience Exchange Between Characters
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
You don't have an extra clip I can use, do you?
[realizing his gun is empty, as Foley points one at him]
Jack Foley
No, I don't.
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
You ain't never shot a gun before, have you?
Jack Foley
Not until recently, no.
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
You nervous?
Jack Foley
A little, yeah.
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
You know, in a situation like this, there's a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out.
Jack Foley
So I figure, why take a chance?

Identity and Perception in Relationships
Karen Sisco
So tell me, Gary, what do you do for a living?
[at the hotel bar]
Jack Foley
How far do you want to go with this?
Karen Sisco
Not yet. Don't say anything yet.
Jack Foley
I don't think it works if we're somebody else. I mean, Gary and Celeste, what do they know about anything?
Karen Sisco
Well, this is your game, I've never played before.
Jack Foley
It's not a game. It's not something you play.
Karen Sisco
Well, does this make any sense to you?
Jack Foley
It doesn't have to. It's something that happens. It's like seeing someone for the first time... like you could be passing on the street, and you look at each other and for a few seconds... there's this kind of a recognition... like you both know something. The next moment, the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it, because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, "What if I had stopped? If I had said something?
Jack Foley
What if, what if?" And it may only happen a few times in your life.
Jack Foley
Or once.
Karen Sisco
Or once. How'd you find me?
[pause]
Jack Foley
Uh...Called your room from downstairs.
Karen Sisco
Oh. And if I had answered, what were you gonna say?
Jack Foley
I would say who I was, and do you remember me, and want to meet for a drink?
Karen Sisco
If I remembered you. I came here looking for you. All right, so then I would have said yes, but for all you know, I could have had a SWAT team waiting for you... why would you trust me?
Jack Foley
It'd be worth the risk.
Karen Sisco
You like taking risks.
Jack Foley
So do you.

Unexpected Motives in Romantic Encounters
Jack Foley
There's something I want you to know. I wasn't just looking for a fuck, if that's what you're thinking.
Karen Sisco
Or, I was...
Jack Foley
Why are you mad?
Karen Sisco
I was looking for some kinky thrill...you know, score with the bank robber. The way some women go for rough trade...
Jack Foley
All right. Now I can say that I fucked a U.S. Marshal. Do you think I will?
Karen Sisco
I don't know.
Jack Foley
Mm-hmm. Come here. I know a guy...walks into a bank with a bottle, tells everybody it's nitroglycerin. He scores some cash off of the teller. On his way out, he drops the bottle. It cracks on the floor. He slips in it. He smacks up his head. They get him. The nitroglycerin was canola oil. I know more fucked-up bank robbers than ones that know what they're doing. I doubt one in ten could tell you where the dye pack is. Most bank robbers are fucking morons. For you to go to bed with one for kinky thrills, like you were saying, makes you as dumb as they are. Now, you are not dumb. Why would you think that? Why would you think that I would think that?
Karen Sisco
You're not dumb.
Jack Foley
Well, I don't know about that. I mean, you can't do three falls and think you have much of a brain.

Tension Over Vehicle and Commitment
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
Glenn, I know you are supposed to be cool and everything but you don't got to give me no tone of voice. You don't like what I'm saying, you just bounce the fuck up out of this whip anywhere along up in here man.
Glenn Michaels
OK, I think we are forgetting this is my whip. I brought you up here.
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
Shit, come on, Glenn, if I say this my car you know this my car, you just get yourself another one. If I say we in on this Ripley shit, we in on it, with or without your punk ass. If I say you gonna walk up in this house and do this motherfucker, so I can see if you got any balls or not, guess what else you gonna do. Tighten up your panties, boy.

Jack Foley
Hey! Sign says "shut the fuck up," or can't you fellas read?
[in the prison library; points to a sign that says "Quiet Please"]
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
The fuck you talkin to man? You got a problem over there, Foley?
Jack Foley
Yeah, I got a problem: this is the dumbest fuckin shakedown in the history of dumb shakedowns. Five hundred bucks for a pillow?
Jack Foley
If you're smart, Ripley, you'll tell this guy to fuck off.
Richard Ripley
Really?
Richard Ripley
Well, I - I - I don't know.
Jack Foley
First of all, if he kills you, then he's gonna get nothin'.
Maurice "Snoopy" Miller
Well, uh, the man don't just have to die, Foley. I mean, he could accidentally hurt himself falling down on something real hard, you know. Like a shiv, or my dick.
Richard Ripley
I'll pay. I'll pay it. Don't worry.

Jack Foley
