Underestimating a Hidden Threat
Mafia informer
His name's Yuda. He's from the sticks. He's a nobody.
[Referring to Rama]

Well, that "nobody" took out 15 of my guys.

Introducing 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.
[Holds up knife]
Rama
I'm flattered but-
Uco
Just so you know, I hate rejections.
Rama
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.
Rama
Clearly.
[Walks away]

Trust Your Instincts in Moments of Fear
Mature man
Don't be afraid. Once it begins, it only lasts a few seconds. Don't overthink it, rely on your instincts and you'll be fine.
Young man
How do you know?
Mature man
Fucking instincts/Because we're having this conversation.

The Conflict of Loyalty and Leadership
Uco
Sir, we have ruled this territory for over 30 years!
Bangun
And my decision on this will see us through 30 more!
Uco
Sir, with all due respect, but the man you're talking about was like a brother to my father and uncle to me. A man of loyalty to our family for over 30 years. If you speak ill of him again, I swear to God--
Bangun
Enough! Only a fool argues for the pride of a dead man.

A Gift of Opportunity and Revenge
Bejo
Now we've eaten well, drank good wine, there's one thing that you should know about me. If I'm the type of person who likes to impose my will, I would've already pointed a gun at your head. But no, that's not me. Not today at least. Today I'm offering you a gift. An opportunity. Something that has never been given to you by your father. Please. Those prison gates opened and not one person from your group was there to pick them up. I was surprised. Imagine how surprised they were when they found out I picked them up and brought them here for you. That's my gift. I give you the opportunity... to claim revenge.
[Five former prison inmates are dragged out for Uco to execute; Hands Uco a boxcutter knife and when Uco executes the last one, a muscular man who seems more braver than the rest, Uco notices a distinctive tattoo, later realising the man is Bejo's competition for mafia boss and that Uco was tricked into doing Bejo's dirty work for him]
Bejo
It's easy to sway a cop or a politician with a little cash and a lot of pussy.

Bunawar's Offer for Safety and Revenge
Bunawar
Rama, your brother had big enemies. But they're nothing compared to what's coming for you. I can provide safety for your wife and child. We can keep them out of reach. But I need you. Right now, this city is carved up between our local kingpin, Bangun, and the Goto family from Japan. Tama's job is to bribe everyone. And the police are being bribed at his office so no one knows. If we get you close enough to Bangun, then sure as fuck we can weed out the rest of those crooked bastards. Rama, for this to end, I need those names.
[Speaking to Rama]

Navigating Trust and Deception in Criminal Networks
Bunawar
Rama listen. Do enough to get inside, but not enough to keep you there for good.
Rama
Where is he?
Undercover cop
Exactly as I said man, this is the guy I was telling you about. Yuda, met him out on the sticks on that thing with Kang Epy.
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.
Enforcer
He always threatens his way through interviews?
Undercover cop
Nah, it ain't like that, you got it all wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you?! Chill the fuck out!
[To Rama]
Enforcer
Fuck it, he's waiting upstairs.
Undercover cop
Let's go
[''They all get up walking across room, then up stairs and Rama shoulder bumps an undercover mafia infiltrator'']
Rama
And?!
Contact
Remember his face. Cut it twice before he leaves. Okay.
Rama
What the fuck you say?
Undercover cop
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.
[''Undercover cop starts walking up stairs but Rama still stares at the two walking away and the undercover cop walks back down and gets ahold of Rama again''; ''They start walking again'']
Pimp
I'm sick and tired of this shit. You do what they tell you. Fucking useless.
[''Slaps hooker's head''; ''Undercover cop brings Rama to a room'']
Undercover cop
Boss! They're here! Mr. Fauzan! Good to see you! You lost weight again Fauzan, right? Get a drink.
Fauzan
Sure, sure, sure.
Politician's Son
Pour a drink for me. Let me introduce you first, this is Yuda.
Fauzan
Oh yeah.
Undercover cop
Yeah, fucking crazy guy this one.
[''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'']
Prison warden
You won't last long. You should walk carefully back to your cell. Knowing his connections, I'd say it's your last time to walk back to your cell... without a limp. Be careful.

Trust Issues in Uncertain Circumstances
Bangun
Shh. Listen. It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't trust anybody. If the worse that happens during your time with us is that you suffer the indignity of an old man seeing your cock, then I'd say you got off light.

Caught in a Web of Corruption
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.

Declaring War on Rivals and Betrayers
Goto
We go to war! If he pulled a trigger on his own father, he won't hesitate to come for us. We start over. I want Uco and Bejo in the ground by tonight. Reza and the rest of those crooks too.
Goto subordinate
Wait a minute, you can't be serious.
Goto
They're not cops anymore. They're in my world now.

Betrayal and Loss in a Dangerous Game
Bangun
Do you realize how many men we lost just to play your fucking game? Huh? Everything I've built was for you. Everything was for you! And you brought it to the ground. You destroyed it completely.

Disappointment in Promises and Expectations
Uco
Fuck, you don't drink, you won't sing. You should have told me earlier. We could be at a titty bar hooking up with Uzbeki girls instead of sweating in here. They only have cheap skanks.
Good time girl
Hey, who the fuck are you calling skanks? I'm better than you, and you should know that already.
Uco
Don't fucking touch that! Don't you fucking dare! This is the problem with this country. Everyone promises everything. Everything's yes, yes, yes! But when the time comes to collect, it all changes. "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. No, no.

Consequences of Choices and Support
Prakoso
But I haven't seen him since he was--
Dwi
Yeah, and whose choice was that? Yours, right? You're the one who chose to do what you do.
Prakoso
To support you.
Dwi
There are millions of fathers in the world supporting their families. Only they don't come home with blood on their hands. Do you even realize that what you do is so fucking disgusting?
Prakoso
I'm not a smart man.
Dwi
No, you're not. But you used to be a good person.
Prakoso
That means that I still have the right to see my son, right?
Dwi
That's the thing, you don't. Not like this. And I don't want to hear anymore about you wanting to change. Because it's been 15 years already, and I barely recognize you anymore. I'm sorry, I have to go.
Uco
Crazy. Seems anyone can get in here these days. Way back this place had class. But now you see white guys walking around in sandals drinking beer and fucking cheap skanks in the toilets like fucking animals. It's a fucking disgrace. Everything has to be restarted from the beginning. Starting from us. Like it was before. Back then, if my father turned up, the room would freeze. They'd fear him because they knew he could do anything. Times change.
Prakoso
They may not fear him like they used to, but your father hasn't lost that fire in his stomach. He just learned how to control it. They respect him now. He doesn't need fear anymore. He has their respect and that's what counts the most.
Uco
It used to count. Used to. Not anymore. Times change faster than you think. We got people now who don't give a shit about back then. They only care about now. Respect? That doesn't mean shit to them.
Prakoso
That ain't new. We faced punks like that more times than I care to remember. Trust me, they don't last. And when it's your turn to take the reins, you'll see for yourself. They'll burn and fall in front of you just like they did for your father. That same fire is in you. I've seen it ever since you were a child. Don't ever lose it. Learn to control it. If you do, one day you'll become as great as your father.
Uco
Koso, you've always been a good friend to us.
Prakoso
Your father has always taken good care of me. To family.
[They toast]
Uco
I'll be right back, gotta piss.
[The club is suddenly deserted and a mob of thugs swarm Prakoso, eventually finishing him off]

Ambition and Limitations in Power Dynamics
Bejo
It's all about a question of ambition really. No, let me rephrase that. It's a matter of limitations. And you're supposed to know the importance of knowing yours. Your boss, Tama. Sure, he had a reputation to uphold, yes. But at least he also knew where he stood, understood how high he should climb. That's why Bangun let him have the authority, be the man he was Don't mind them. I'm a very reasonable man. Like you, I have ambitions. But you see, in this world of ours, but we have to take every step forward, and you're supposed to have a long way to go, just to be here with me (it's really more of a "one step at a time" kind of thing. And you should have been some fucking steps away from a meeting like this).
[Speaking to a rival's henchman due to be executed; Captive glances nervously at Bejo's subordinates]
Captive
Bangun will--
Bejo
Bangun is an old man! He's on his way out. I gave you a chance. You chose him instead. So... I guess this brings us back full circle, ambition... and limitation.
[Chokes on his spit and then gathers himself]
Captive
Bejo. Bejo! Please don't do this. I already told you.
Captive
No, no! Don't, Bejo, wait!
[Captive is executed with a shotgun]

Discrepancy in Payment Amount Discussed
Topan
It's all there in the envelope.
Uco
This isn't enough.
Topan
Not enough? But I counted it myself. It's exact.
Uco
Oh, yeah. Go back a month and you're right. Just like always. But this month, you're short $5000. Take a seat.
Woman
Motherfucker, stop shaking around!
Man
It's too big!
Woman
Fuck this shit, where did you find this guy?!
Topan
Hitchhiker!
Woman
Hitchhiker?! Fuck, come on! How do you expect me to work like this?! Seriously, sort it the fuck out! Let's shoot this thing, you fucking loser!
[Gets her drink and walks back]
Topan
Get on with it! Camera, rolling, shooting! Just fuck that guy's asshole you stupid bitch! Sorry. I don't understand, you're kidding right?
[Turns attention to Uco]
Uco
For 20 years, my father has ensured that not one cop has ever knocked on your door. Now you've been free to operate on our turf and we've worked together peacefully throughout. But these payments in these envelopes. They only cover you for cock and cum. They don't allow for any expansions. I'm hearing rumblings, Topan. People are talking. Seems that you and your boys here are responsible for some powder circulating in my father's territory.
Topan
No, that? That's just--
Uco
You don't have to explain anything. We already know everything. Now, taking into account this new enterprise of yours and the fact you sure as hell don't want some pig's knuckles rapping at your door, the price just went up. All you have to do is dig just a little bit deeper. Then we can forgive you this minor indiscretion. Now if you would be so kind, this envelope, it's still a little light.
[Uco throws Topan's payment package across the table while Rama has realized that a Topan's thug is reaching for a shotgun, kicks him and sets off a vicious firefight wiping out everyone in the room]
