We heard it the first time!
Shit! I'm doing it! I'm repeating the damn computer!
He knocked me out the sonofabitch. Where is he?
Down there.
Jason?... I don't think the pig lizard was Gorignak...
What the hell are you talking about?
Where the hell is he? An hour and a half late. An hour and a half!
This is great! They're going to start eating each other out there.
Negroes? Washington has black men in his army? Are they good fighters? What's that red ribbon on his arm, Colonel?
Because they have hardly any uniforms, they designate officers with colored ribbons. My lord.

By red, what rank would you say this black, officer, soldier is, Colonel?
By red, what rank would you say this black, officer, soldier is, Colonel?
I, don't know what color is what officer, my lord...
What the goddamned hell do you think you are doing!?
The British! These men cannot stand against them!
The British! These men cannot stand against them!
What do you know about these men!? They can stand against anything! They've seen more war than most field generals! They are not cowards, sir! They are not afraid!
George, remember that night when we were drinking with Arnold?
To hell with Arnold...
To hell with Arnold...
He warned you some day you might have to act for the good of the people -- even if it was against Congress. George, the time has come for you to declare yourself king of America. Listen to me, the whole army would rise up as one and place you on a throne! George, you must declare yourself with us or against us.

Is this a coup? Alexander, are you trying to tell me that I might be assassinated if I don't agree?
George, I'm sorry. We all know the army will acquit Arnold...
Of course the army will acquit him, that's not the point... Arnold is a man and will understand. What I need to understand is, John, Sam... what is happening here? Who are those people in there? The fat ones in silk?

They are... friends of Congress.

Is that where our meat and boots and uniforms and muskets went?
What do you mean you're not a Christian? Of course you're a Christian, we're all Christians...
I mean, I'm a Deist. A belief I share with the likes of Tom Jefferson and Ben Franklin. Surely you knew that.
I mean, I'm a Deist. A belief I share with the likes of Tom Jefferson and Ben Franklin. Surely you knew that.
No, I did not. Really? Well, what the hell is a deist, precisely?
The day Tom Jefferson frees a slave I'll ride naked through the streets of Williamsburg on a mule. Tom Jefferson is one of those people who talks big and acts small. The only man out there who really does what he says is Sam Adams and everyone thinks he's crazy. Believe me, this 'disturbance' isn't going to last long. You have to understand, congress is a chicken coop full of foxes, Martha, each and every one has his eye on a nice, fat prize.
And, what 'prize' do you see? What could we possible gain?
And, what 'prize' do you see? What could we possible gain?
Everything. If we force Britain into concessions it will open up the western lands -- and that would be a boon for our family. We already have more slaves than we need, but we need more land.
Sir, if you don't mind my saying, I don't understand your history at all. I mean, why would you want to win the war? You're not after glory, like Benedict... You're a slave owner, and yet you invite blacks to fight in your army.
You don't believe I can fight from a sense of duty and patriotism?
You don't believe I can fight from a sense of duty and patriotism?
No. We're all of us after something. It's easy for me to fight for the common man. My father could only dream that I would be... a general someday? And what of my daughter or son? I know what I'm after. But now, with all this talk about compromise? It means the rich will just be more wealthy and the common man has no hope.

I will not betray you, Nathanael.
I will not betray you, Nathanael.
But you are an aristocrat and a slave owner. Sir.
Is that your test of patriotism, George; if a man will die for you?
God damn you, Sam Adams! You wanted a revolutionary army and now that we've really got one it scares you more than it does the British!
He's my sister's kid. No papa. Not too bright. Personally, I think he's a retard. I only gave him the job as a favor for my sister, you understand?
Sure. Family. I know how that goes.
Sure. Family. I know how that goes.
He comes up here with our product. He suppose to come home with five hundred thousand dollars. He never shows up. Meanwhile, my sister's going crazy calling me all the time worried about him. Me, I just wanna know what happened to my focking money.

He's around someplace.
He's around someplace.
I hear he's around Palm Springs. Dealing our product. Product we sold to you for five hundred thousand dollars. Why do you keep talking to me bullshit? I think maybe I have Ramon and Ceasar staple your tongue to your chin. What do you think?
I'm just explaining to you what I'm doing here. Case you think I come to rob the place, rip off any of this dusty old shit the man has.
I'd never make you as a burglar, not in that outfit.
Says here you're getting Martin Weir for the part of Lovejoy.
Yeah, we're getting Martin.
Yeah, we're getting Martin.

So what? Where's it say in this script he's white? Color is what the part needs, man, somebody to do it has some style. The way it is now, Ronnie could do it, play himself, some cracked out asshole. So whatta you think of the script?
You get to town, you go straight to the bank, raid the limo account.
I'm already in town, but it don't matter. We got dick in the bank. We dumped it all in Harry's movie.

The three hundred grand a guy named Leo Devoe scammed off an airline. The three hundred grand Chili Palmer now has in his possession.

Harry Zimm. The man happens to be a major Hollywood player.
Harry Zimm. The man happens to be a major Hollywood player.
Never heard of him.
Never heard of him.
Maybe that's because you've never been out've fuckin' Miami, dipshit. Maybe it's time you got on a plane, flew out to L.A. and took a meeting with Mr. Zimm.
The man you're steppin' on belongs to me and my partner.
He owes me money.

Get in line, bro.

Tough shit, bro. This ain't Miami. You want something, talk to me.
Hey, fuckball, I don't need your permission. L.A.'s an open city.
You tell me you want these guys off your back. Next thing I know, you're saying yeah, maybe they can have a piece of Mr. Lovejoy. I couldn't believe my fuckin' ears.
I said I'd think about it. What does that mean? In this town, nothing.
I said I'd think about it. What does that mean? In this town, nothing.
That's the difference between you and me, Harry. I say what I mean. I want something from someone, I ask 'em straight out. I want Martin Weir, I go get Martin Weir. I don't fuck around with his trainer's shrink.

His shrink's trainer.
Here's your keys, Harry.
Get the fuck outta my chair.
Forget about Leo's money, Harry.
You have it?

Harry, if I gave you Leo's money you'd have Ray Bones all over your ass and then you'd be in a whole new kinda trouble.

Tell you what, Harry, tomorrow morning, when the airport's crowded, I'll go check it out. If I don't see a problem, I'll pick up the money...
Well, you had it down cold. Watching you in the movie, if I didn't know better I'd have to believe you were a made guy and not acting. Even the fink part. I never met a fink and I hope to God I never do, but how you did it must be the way finks act.
A few weeks before shooting, I went back to Bensonhurst, just to listen to you guys. See, I'm Italian, but I grew up in Tarzana. So I wanted to pick up your rhythms of speech.

We talk different?
We talk different?
It's more like your attitude. Your tone, your speech patterns demonstrate a certain confidence in yourselves, in your opinions, your indifference to conventional views.

You mean like we don't give a shit.
You mean like we don't give a shit.
Yeah. Kinda. Anyway, once I have the authentic sounds of speech, the rhythms, man, the patois, I can actually begin to think the way those guys do, get inside their heads.
Guy owes me fifteen large and takes off, I go after him. The fuck you think I do?
Martin, look at me.
Martin, look at me.
I'm looking at you.
No, I want you to look at me the way I'm looking at you. Put it in your eyes, 'You're mine, asshole,' without saying it.
Like this?

What you're telling me, you're tired? You wanna go to bed?

How do I know that?
It was Fay, wasn't it, told you about the money. She tell you my whole life history, for Christ's sake?
I wouldn't let her if she tried. Why I'm here, Leo, basically, is to save your ass.

You can keep what you won today. That's yours.

It's all mine.
It's all mine.
Sit down, Leo.
You saw that one?
Yeah. When you turn to the camera to tell the alien mother that her time on earth is finished... when you give us all that look, Joan Crawford wishes on her best day she had that much presence. Not even in "Mildred Pierce" -– which by the way was a better book than a movie -– did Crawford even touch the intensity you had in that look.
