Dialogue

Bejo: [Speaking to a rival's henchman due to be executed] 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 [Captive glances nervously at Bejo's subordinates] 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). Captive: Bangun will-- Bejo: Bangun is an old man! [Chokes on his spit and then gathers himself] He's on his way out. I gave you a chance. You chose him instead. So... I gue

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? [Points to scar on Rama's face] Kid took a fucking machete to the face for me. His is all fucked up, mine is as miserable as ever. 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 thr

Uco: I believe Benny and his boys introduced themselves yesterday? Rama: Which one is Benny? Uco: Him. [Motions head to goon with bandaged nose] Now, while I'm in here, Benny and his associates are with me. 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? [Holds up knife] 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. 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 i

Dialogue

Mafia informer: [Referring to Rama] His name's Yuda. He's from the sticks. He's a nobody. Uco: Well, that "nobody" took out 15 of my guys.

Dialogue

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?! [Gets her drink and walks back] Seriously, sort it the fuck out! Let's shoot this thing, you fucking loser! Topan: Get on with it! Camera, rolling, shooting! Just fuck that guy's asshole you stupid bitch! [Turns attention to Uco] Sorry. I don't understand, you're kidding right? 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 f

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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. [leaves]

Dialogue

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,

Dialogue

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 manǃ

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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.
