- Walter Abrams: We need a bat light like one of those signals that shoot up into the clouds no matter where you are no matter what time of day just look up and say "hey Walter needs me" because I must have beeped you a hundred fucking times
- Brandon Lang: Who were they?
- [Sarcastically]
- Brandon Lang: the Salvation Army, how does someone go one for eight? A fucking monkey tossing darts could do better
- Brandon Lang: What's with all the money?
- Walter Abrams: I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite you say "black" we go white
- Brandon Lang: How much is there?
- Walter Abrams: [Holding up stacks of cash] peanuts, two hundred seventy five thousand that's how desperate I am
- Brandon Lang: What happen to the two million?
- Walter Abrams: Two million? I was carrying twice that in red ink before you even showed up, look around you everything you see is smoking mirrors I got three mortgages on this house what do you want to know? I'm gambling again
- Brandon Lang: [On the TV show] This is John Anthony, the million dollar man with the billion dollar plan, from Wall Street to Tokyo to Hollywood all your big money is going to stay and play with me, that's right, that's why they call me "the million dollar man", I can't say that, someone wrote some very clever stuff for me here like the "the million dollar man", so let's just call me John, I play quarter back division one and every QB knows the secret, the key to victory is anticipation, the ability to see the future and react to it, that is what I do, and that is the truth, for over one year I have been picking eighty percent winners unbelievable? Used to be, I know the leagues, I know the teams, I know the players, I know this wonderful game called football, call the number on the bottom of the screen and ask for John, let's make some money.
- Walter Abrams: [inside Walter's office] There's half a dozen games left I want you to watch every second of every minute of every one of them so sit down, you know how you go three and eleven don't you? You go three and eleven when you make Sunday's picks on Tuesdays it rains in Cincinnati on Saturday two starting quarterbacks never got to play, that's how you go three and eleven, you're a handicapper not a psychic
- Brandon Lang: We still got Monday night parlay
- Walter Abrams: Fuck Monday night fuck the parlay this isn't about that it's not about me it's about the commission thing
- Brandon Lang: I don't know about that
- Walter Abrams: Don't bullshit me, I'm going to bump you ten percent ok? You earned it this is dangerous territory we're getting into, you understand that? But I'm going to bump you now talk to me about Monday night because everyone and I mean everyone is going to double down after the hole you just put them in
- Brandon Lang: [Brandon driving Toni to work] let me ask you a question, when you're not at the salon or bringing Julia to play dates or keeping Walter in line which I know is a full time job, what do you for you?
- Toni Morrow: I stay busy
- Brandon Lang: That's not what I asked what do you for you?
- Toni Morrow: I was a junkie so every day I get up I wonder "is this the day? Is this the day i slip? End up back on the street?" just keeping it all on track that's what I do for me
- Brandon Lang: Well that's not living that is maintaining, that's cashing in that's not living
- Toni Morrow: What the hell does that mean? Are we talking "perfection" here?
- Brandon Lang: I'm not talking "perfection" nobody's perfect except for me last weekend going 14-0
- Toni Morrow: [Referring to Walter, while dining at a fancy restaurant] He's gambling
- Brandon Lang: Yeah
- Toni Morrow: He's gambling I just can't believe it I never saw it coming I just couldn't stop it
- Brandon Lang: I've got to win one more game
- Walter Abrams: I'm looking for a car for my friend
- Mercedes Dealer: Let's see what we can do, Mr. Anthony?
- Brandon Lang: [while posing as John Anthony] Yes sir
- Mercedes Dealer: Do you have any credit?
- Brandon Lang: [amused] No
- Mercedes Dealer: [to Walter] of course not, I don't know, can you trust him?
- Walter Abrams: With my wife: NAKED
- Mercedes Dealer: [to Brandon] In that case the floor is yours
- Brandon Lang: [Celebrating after wining twenty for twenty] You the man big papa.
- Walter Abrams: [hugging each other] I love you forever.
- Brandon Lang: How much of that cash would be for me?
- Walter Abrams: How about a one with five zeros behind it?
- Brandon Lang: [surprised and disappointed by the low amount] A hundred grand? On two million?
- Walter Abrams: You'd be working out of my "shop".
- Brandon Lang: Yes sir I am this is your "shop", I'm just saying feed the horse, maybe ten percent?
- Walter Abrams: [amused] Ten percent? Is that what you're thinking? That's a beautiful thought, forget it.
- Walter Abrams: [over the phone] congratulations you went nine and two last Sunday. I don't know if you know me but I run the biggest sports betting service in the country and I'm a big fan of yours, as a matter of fact I got a poster of you on my wall
- Brandon Lang: This is a joke right?
- Walter Abrams: No this is not a joke, this is a job offer in your top drawer there's an envelope with your name on it, inside the envelop there's travel cash and an airline ticket, this isn't a magic trick I paid someone to put it there Who incidentally told me that the place you work in reminded him of a Turkish prison. All I'm asking you is to come up with a number, you write down the number of what you make now, then you cross it out and write what you should be making. Then you toss in what it's going to take you to fly to New York first class and come work for me. Now focus because with your injured knee, a comeback is just a dream my offer is real.
- Walter Abrams: [to Toni while walking with her and Brandon] Will you stop worrying we're set for life we've got "Jimmy the Greek", here he makes Nostradamus look like a fucking novelty act.
- Brandon Lang: Have you been blocking any of my calls?
- Walter Abrams: Of course you don't need distractions right now a lot of crazies out there.
- Brandon Lang: Does that include my father?
- Walter Abrams: If you're asking me, I'll tell you, yeah it does.
- Brandon Lang: You son of a bitch, for how long?
- Walter Abrams: About two weeks would you have taken the call if I put it through?
- Brandon Lang: That's not the point.
- Walter Abrams: Then what is the point? I'd like to know, what's the story with you and your father?
- Brandon Lang: You tell me you seem to know.
- Walter Abrams: Well I know pieces, that's about all I know, I was just trying to spare you.
- Brandon Lang: Spare me? What are you going to spare me from? He was a God damn drunk he left when I was nine I couldn't compete with his bottle: end of fucking story, so don't spare me nothing, if I want to talk to him I will.
- Walter Abrams: My father broke my nose three times, and Toni's childhood wasn't any better, she was abused by everybody in her family except the family dog, your father a drunk, and a jerk so what? It happens, I'm glad I blocked those calls you know why? You need a new image of a man, how about me?
- Brandon Lang: [Toni starts laughing] That's a scary fucking thought.
- Walter Abrams: Listen, the shit that happened to you, to me and to Toni you know what that is? We're just that fucked up, you've just got to say that out loud "we are just that fucked and we're not going to take it anymore".
- Brandon Lang: [to Toni while gently holding her hand] Will you have dinner with me tonight?
- Toni Morrow: I'm married to Walter.
- Walter Abrams: Ooooo... bogey.
- Walter Abrams: Do you understand?
- Brandon Lang: Hell yeah I understand. I'm John fucking Anthony: I've got a crystal ball!
