Dillon
- Dave Foley: [Hands Dillon $20] Here's twenty. Who's calling up?
- Dillon: Remember Eddie Fingers?
- Dave Foley: Fella that got his hand busted up. Who's he looking for?
- Dillon: Jimmy Scalise. Do you know him?
- Dave Foley: Last time I heard he was in Florida, getting some sun. Does he find him?
- Dillon: I don't know. I'm just a messenger boy.
- Dave Foley: They give you numbers.
- Dillon: Telephone numbers. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I got a liquor license.
- Dave Foley: Uh, you work for a guy that's got a liquor license. Ever see him? You're a convicted felon.
- Dillon: Like I say: I work for a guy got a liquor license. I forget sometimes.
- Dave Foley: Want to forget this?
- Dillon: I'd just as soon.
- Dave Foley: You oughta get yourself a car.
- Dillon: I don't drive. If I could afford a car, I wouldn't be taking twenty a week from you.
- Dave Foley: Have a nice day.
- Dillon: There's this truck. It bothers me. I know it sounds funny because I suppose you would think that what would be worrying me would be the guys in the truck or maybe some guy I don't even know watching me pretty close in the bar or something. But I have seen the truck. Put two guys in that truck, they could get the pope. The only time I see an engine like that is in a Cadillac. So you know you aren't gonna run away cuz that thing's gonna run right away with ya. In the windshield they got a crack on the passenger side. You open it right up, you stick a deer rifle out there. Now you're on the Mystic Bridge, that thing wheels up behind ya, the windshield's opening up and I ask ya, what are you gonna do now? You're gonna make a good act of contrition is what you're gonna do. I mean, sure, I don't drive. The only time I'm on that bridge is coming home from the track on the bus. Do you see what I'm gettin' at? I know these guys. They're serious. I know them very well. They got a truck for guys that drive cars and they got something else for guys that walk, like me.
- The Man's contact man: [asking Dillon to commit a hit] The man says tonight.
- Dillon: Look, when I hit somebody, I do it right - not like some Goddamned kid who found his girl fuckin' someone else.
- The Man's contact man: Now... he said tonight...
- Dillon: [interrupting] ... he says - he says... Look, five grand in front.
- The Man's contact man: Look, you get it when you do the job.
- Dillon: Who would make a hit on the cuff? Look, that's not the way it happens, and the man knows that, and I'm beginnin' to wonder if he sent you.
- The Man's contact man: Now, look...
- Dillon: Now, look nothin'... I treat a man with respect. I expect to be treated with a little respect. The man knows how I work, what I do. That's why he wants me. I did the Polack and Jimmy the Whale, so he knows what I can do, so he knows with me strictly cash in advance. No money - no hit! No credit cards whatsoever!
