  • What the fuck is wrong with all y'all? Selling drugs to each other, 'cause ya damn sure ain't selling them in Beverly Hills. Killing yourselves, and for what? Make ya feel like a man? Or does it make ya dick hard? Punk motherfuckers.
  • I guess a Beretta in the butt beats a butterfly in a boot, huh?
  • [During the final showdown] Blake, I should thank you for this, you know. Going insane, it's strangely liberating, isn't it?

Earl Talbott Blake

  • [After taking a female hostage] Pork, back off or else she's gonna need a paper bag over her head when her boyfriend fucks what's left of her!
  • [to Nick] I mean, there we were, both of us... at the beginning of our careers. Then all of a sudden, one of us... took off! Lit up the sky like a meteor. And why? Because he met the other.
  • I'm gonna do something far worse than kill you. I'm gonna let you live.
