Lucas: [sitting down] It could be in other cities by now... Joe: Oh, shut up! Under no circumstances do I want you to leave that couch... unless it's to get me $9000, and then you bring it here to me, okay? Lucas: Okay. You know, I think things are gonna be all right now, Joe.

Lucas: Warren, look what you took. [going through the CD's that Warren stole from the store] Rap... metal... rap... metal... And Whitney Houston. Warren: It's for my girlfriend, okay? Lucas: Suuure it is. You know, someone like you needs to diminish their criminal impulses, not magnify them. Maybe some jazz or some classical. Warren: Maybe you bite me.
