[Waving his gun] Know why they call that peashooter of yours a blunderbuss? Because it's impossible to hit anything farther than 15 yards. Impossible to miss anything closer. It's a gun for fuck-up turkeys.

Dialogue

Abe: You know, you were the youngest Looper I ever hired. You looked goddamn ridiculous, they said. [holds hand at neck level; both laugh] Blunderbuss up to here on you. I remember they brought you in, I forget what it was for. Young Joe: Watch shop. Abe: Mmm! That's - yeah, you rolled one of our fronts, a watch shop. And they had you, you know. You know, this kid, just like an animal. But you - you looked at me, your hair stuck to half your face, just one eye looking at me. I could see, like seeing it happen on the TV, the bad version of your life. Like a vision, I could see how you'd turn bad. So I changed it. I cleaned you up and put a gun in your hand. I gave you something that was yours. Young Joe: And I'm grateful for that, Abe.

Dialogue

Older Joe: My memory's cloudy. It's a cloud. Because my memories aren't really memories. They're just one possible eventuality now. And they grow clearer or cloudier as they become more are less likely. But then they get to the present moment, and they're instantly clear again. I can remember what you do after you do it. And it hurts. Young Joe: So even when we're apart, you can remember what I do after? Older Joe: Yes, but this is a precise description of a fuzzy mechanism. It's messy.

Dialogue

Sara: This is a Remington 870. One blast could cut you the fuck in half. Young Joe: In half, yeah, that's telling. You're holding a gun, I say I'm not afraid, so you describe the gun to me. It's not the gun I'm not afraid of.

Dialogue

Cid: Where's Joe? Sara: He had to go away, baby.
