Franco:
Jesus Christ, Jerry. Shit. I mean, there's no other way?

Lou:
You know, you just don't get it, Franco.

Sean:
No, you're damn right we don't, Lou. Come on.

Lou:
You know why? You know why you don't get it? Because you're young and the future is your friend, you know, and your eyes work and your cocks work, and the way you guys think you're gonna be on the job forever eatin' smoke, and it don't work that way, boys.

Sean:
Okay, so if I get a little older, a little sick, I should just kill myself? Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Lou:
You know what? It was Jerry's life and he was unhappy and he made a choice. And obviously it was a pretty severe choice, but you wanna know somethin'? I give the guy all the respect I have for going out on his own terms.

Franco:
Yeah, well, I don't. I think he was a goddamn coward.

Lou:
Watch it, Franco.

Franco:
I'm just sayin' how I feel, Lou.

Lou:
[to Tommy]' Do you hear this shit?

Tommy:
Yeah, except that I kinda agree with him.

Lou:
Well, then screw you, too.

Tommy:
Well, he was a coward.

Lou:
Watch it Tom, okay?

Tommy:
He was afraid. Afraid of workin' behind that desk down at down at headquarters for the next five or--

Sean:
Oh, come on, Tom. That's your excuse for the guy?--

Tommy:
Shut up, asshole! What do you got eight years on the job? (Sean goes to say something) Shut up! Christ almighty. You know how much he hated being the Chief, huh? Watching us run into jobs while he stood outside, but he did it. You know why? So he could teach assholes like, (points to Sean and Franco) you and you what the job was really about. When he was working up in the Bronx, when the Bronx was burning, huh? You ever hear about those days, huh? They'd get 10, 12, 14 jobs a night! Shithead. He ran into a job up on 279th street, he pulled three kids in wheelchairs out in somethin' like 15 minutes. You know why? Because the rest of his crew was busy bringing old people out. There was a cold storage warehouse fire up there one night and the Chief on the job that night shut the job down because it was 'too hot for humans'. You know what Jerry did? He ran around the side of the building, went in the side door, pulled out two drunken assholes, ends up the two same assholes who started the goddamn fire! And he was working then, without a mask, running in and out of the building with a cigar danglin' out of his mouth. You wanna talk about being brave and who's a coward and who's not a coward? Suck my cock. Wanna talk about being brave? When he was workin' up in the Bronx, he used up all the goddamn brave he had.
