• Parole Board Official : Mr. Blake, what will you do if you get out of prison?

  Blake : [thinking]  Well, I guess, Mr. Chairman, that first I'll pay a visit to your house.

  Parole Board Official : To thank me, I suppose?

  Blake : No... to fuck your wife. And your daughter. Hell, maybe even your dog.

• Nick Styles : You killed Farris, didn't you?

  Earl Talbot Blake : You killed my life.

  Nick Styles : So, now we're even, is that it?

  Earl Talbot Blake : [scoffs]  We're not even close.

• [after taking a female hostage] 

  Earl Talbot Blake : Pork, back off or else she's gonna need a paper bag over her head when her boyfriend fucks what's left of her!

• Earl Talbot Blake : What the fuck is going on?

  Kim : It's Styles. His friends grabbed me and dragged me here.

  Earl Talbot Blake : That's impossible!

  Kim : Well, I saw him.

  Earl Talbot Blake : I killed his life, and he killed himself. You're lying!

  Kim : Lying? You stupid, macho fuck! I can't believe this! I can't believe that I've been kissing your ass all these fucking years, and you're such a shithead! You didn't kill his life, and you didn't fuck his mind. You know what you did? You pissed him off. You really fucking pissed him off, and now you're fucked!

• Earl Talbot Blake : I mean, there we were, both of us... at the beginning of our careers. Then all of a sudden, one of us... took off! Lit up the sky like a meteor. And why? Because he met the other.

• Parole Board Official : The parole board's ready, Blake. I hope you remembered to floss.

  Earl Talbot Blake : I did! With your wife's pubic hair!

• [Nick Styles approaches a car driver that almost ran him down, and suddenly sees it's Blake] 

  Nick Styles : Jesus Christ.

  Blake : Almost.

• Earl Talbot Blake : I'm gonna do something far worse than kill you. I'm gonna let you live.
