Quotes 

• Myrna : I have to be convincing and I've never been raped.

  Nick Colton : We should all be so lucky.

• Myrna : How does that joke go? Ah, the guy says, "so help me, I'll rape you." And the girl says, "so rape me, I'll help you."

  Nick Colton : So?

  Myrna : So... rape me, I'll help you.

• Nick Colton : Okay. In that case, it'll cost you $2000.

  Sanchez : Preposterous!

  Nick Colton : That's $2000 to get him out. And then $2000 more on delivery.

• Ann Wagner : Mr. Colton, I want you to try again.

  Nick Colton : Alright, but this time you tell me everything. Why won't they let him out of the country?

  Ann Wagner : He's in prison.

  Nick Colton : Shit.

• Nick Colton : And what the hell is this?

  Ann Wagner : That is a scale plan of the prison.

  Nick Colton : Well, you can just forget it, because I'm going back there, and I'll show those bastards I'm getting him out.

  Ann Wagner : Oh, no, you're not, Mr. Colton. You've had your chance and you failed.

  Nick Colton : Do it your way! You go ahead with their plan, whatever it is. What is it? They dig a tunnel, I suppose. Maybe two tunnels in case the first one is found out. You know what's gonna happen? They'll dig and they'll dig, and they'll hit rock, and they'll hit water, and then they'll hit rock. And for two goddamn years, they'll be diggin' and your husband'll be in prison and he'll be sitting there rotting!

• Sanchez : Come on, Ann. We'll find someone else!

  Nick Colton : Yeah! You listen to that shyster! Maybe you'll manage to get somebody killed. Do you want my advice? You'll talk to a professional.

  Sanchez : Like you?

  Nick Colton : Yeah, like me! You look at me, you think you see a bum in a funny hat. But I am a professional. I make my living in this border country. I know the ins and outs. And you see this funny hat? I use it to strain that lousy Mexican gasoline you sell down there. And I'm not about to rip off this, uh, married woman... and blow a good reputation.

  Sanchez : We don't even know you!

• Ann Wagner : Can you guarantee delivery?

  Nick Colton : I don't know what your husband's done, but there are ways, and there are ways.

  Ann Wagner : My husband's innocent.

  Nick Colton : What the hell is the difference? It's just as tough to get an innocent one out as a guilty one. And costs the same.

• Nick Colton : They beat up my best friend and my partner. They were waiting for us. Somebody told 'em. They knew.

  Ann Wagner : [Sign]  They always know.

  Nick Colton : Goddamn right! And I think you told 'em.

  Ann Wagner : And I think you got drunk and shot your mouth off in some bar!

  Nick Colton : I never get that drunk!

• Nick Colton : You're a crazy.

• Spencer : Goddamn it you come popping in here to borrow my wife... She ain't a lawnmower!

  Nick Colton : You're right Spence, and I admit I was outta line before. I don't know where the hell I got the guts to ask your lady to pose as a whore. But I swear to you, this time it's nothing.

  Spencer : What do want her to do?
