Dialogue

Keaton: A friend of mine in New York tells me you knew Spook Hollis. Redfoot: The way I hear it, you did time with ol' Spook. Good man, wasn't he? I used to run dope for him. Too bad he got shivved. Keaton: Yeah. [pause] I shivved him. Better you hear it from me now than from somebody else later. Redfoot: Yeah, well, I appreciate that. Just out of curiousity, was it business or personal? Keaton: A bit of both.

Dialogue

Verbal: Where's your head, Agent Kujan? Where do you think the pressure's coming from? Keyser Söze - or whatever you want to call him - he knows where I am right now! He's got the front burner under your ass to let me go so he can scoop me up 10 minutes later! Immunity was just a deal with you assholes. I got a whole new problem once I post bail. Dave Kujan: So why play into his hands? We can protect you. Verbal: Oh, gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You'll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker. The same fuckers that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are gonna bail me out? Fuck you. You think you can catch Keyser Söze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that...my guess is you'll never hear from him again.

Kujan: You had a gun, then why didn't you help him? He was your friend! Verbal: Because I was afraid, okay? I was afraid. Kujan: Afraid of what? Verbal: It was Keyser Söze, Agent Kujan! The Devil himself! How do you shoot the Devil in the back? [pause, holds up his crippled hand] What if you miss?

Dialogue

Kujan: It was his idea to rob the taxi service back in New York, wasn't it? C'mon, tell me the truth. Verbal: [sobbing] It was all Keaton! We followed him from the beginning! I didn't know! I saw him die! I believe he's dead, oh Christ! Kujan: You're not safe on your own. Verbal: Do...do you really think he was... Kujan: Keyser Söze? I don't know, Verbal. Keyser Söze's a shield, or, like you said, a spook story. But I know Keaton, and someone is out there pulling strings for you. Stay here and let us protect you. Verbal: No way. I'm not bait. I post today. Kujan: You posted 20 minutes ago. Captain Leo wants you out of here ASAP, unless you turn state's. Verbal: I'll take my chances, thank you. Kujan: If someone wants to get you, they're gonna get you out there. Turn state's evidence. You may never see trial. Verbal: Maybe so. But I'm not a rat, Agent Kujan. [turns to leave, and then takes one last look at Kujan] Fuckin' cops!
