Quotes
- Vic: Let's remember where this Armenian money's coming from - prostitution, drugs, robberies. And the rest of this cash is just gonna finance more of the same. They didn't earn it. I don't feel bad about taking it.
- Lem: Jesus Christ, is this guy on quaaludes?
- Shane: Doesn't want to get pulled over. It's good a sign. Means he's close to a go.
- Lem: Goddamn it. Get your ass in gear, granny.
