The Score

Nick Wells: If you want me to do this, you gotta pay me what's right. It's gotta be that way. Max: [Indignant] I always pay you what's right. Nick: You always think you do. I always know what you pay me. It's not always right.

Nick: How can I be sure you're okay? Diane: I suppose I could fuck you. Nick: That would work.

Nick: That's what I have to do. I wanna pay off the club, the mortgage. I wanna own this place free and clear. I want it to be mine. I live the way I want, because after this, no more jobs. This is the last one I'm doing. I'm quitting for good. Max: Yeah? How many times have you told me that in 25 years? I mean, I'm gonna believe that when the pigs eat my brother, right?

Jack Teller: In all the years you've been doing this, what's the biggest gamble you ever took? On job, the biggest longshot? Nick: I don't take longshots and I never have. Jack: I know you're careful. I'm careful too, that's not what I mean. When you were starting out you must've taken some "flyers" here and there, did something that was a little wild. I'm just curious. Nick: You're smart, talented and you know a few things, but talent means nothing in this game if you don't make the right choices. There's plenty of talented people that never see the light of day anymore. This whole thing takes discipline because it's one big longshot, and if you don't have the discipline to stay away from the" flyers", the "gambles", or whatever else you want to call a stupid move, then one day you will go down. It's inevitable.

Jack: [amazed at complexity of the new safe] I've never seen anything like that! What do you have in mind? Nick: [Unfazed] I don't know, but if somebody built it, somebody can unbuild it.

Jack: We wouldn't be here if you'd thrown me some respect at the beginning. Just a little bit. Nick: This is a stupid move. What are you doing? Just go up there and finish... Jack: [over Nick's arguments] It's a long shot. I should play it tight. You know what I think of your bullshit advice? I think that's you trying to talk me into taking a sucker's share on a score that I set up from the beginning! You think I'm fucking stupid, that I don't see what you and Max are doing?... I mean, what is he giving you? Five, six million? Tell me that's not true. See, that doesn't work for me. [looks at watch] I appreciate your help, but you should've made me a partner. Now I gotta take a shot. Just sit tight. Just sit tight. Everything will be fine. Now you got a choice. You can either head for that tunnel... or smile for that camera. [alarm engages as they both run off]
