Agent Duncan Malloy
- Duncan Malloy: [about his Corvette, to Vince and Skip Devers] Beautiful? Sunsets are beautiful. Newborn babies are beautiful. This... this is fucking spectacular!
- Larkin: [while in the US Marshalls office] Contingency plans for something like this don't exist! A situation like this has never been contemplated.
- Duncan Malloy: Well, you better start contemplating, because this is a situation that needs to get UN-FUCKED, RIGHT NOW!
- Duncan Malloy: [about Vince Larkin being unreachable] Of course you're having trouble reaching him. He's off saving the rain forest, or recycling his sandals or some shit.
- Vince Larkin: [while in the surveillance truck] This one's done it all: kidnapping, robbery, murder, extortion.
- Man on P.A.: Foxtrot Charlie, perimeter is secure. You are clear to release.
- Vince Larkin: His name is Cyrus Grissom, A.K.A. Cyrus the Virus. Thirty-nine years old, twenty-five of them spent in our institutions. But he's bettered himself inside. Earned two degrees, including his juris doctorate. He also killed eleven fellow inmates, incited three riots, and escaped twice. Likes to brag that he killed more men than cancer.
- Guard Falzon: Okay, open wide. Lift your tongue.
- Vince Larkin: Cyrus is a poster child for the criminally insane. He's a true product of the system.
- Duncan Malloy: What's that supposed to mean?
- [to Sims]
- Duncan Malloy: What is he, one of these sociology majors who thinks we're responsible for breeding these animals?
- Vince Larkin: No, but I can point a few fingers if it would make you feel comfortable.
- Vince Larkin: [while in the US Marshalls office] "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by observing its prisoners." Dostevsky said that... after doin' a little time.
- Duncan Malloy: "Fuck you!" Cyrus Grissom said that after putting a bullet in my agent's head, okay?
- Vince Larkin: [to Sims while walking to the surveillance truck] We pick up Mr. Cindino in Carson City. From then until the plane hits Alabama, we've got two hours to get him to talk. We got you a seat right next to him, and he's known to be somewhat garrulous in the company of thieves.
- Duncan Malloy: Garrulous? What the fuck is garrulous?
- Vince Larkin: That would be loquacious, verbose, effusive. How about chatty?
- Duncan Malloy: [to Devers] What's with Dictionary Boy?
- Vince Larkin: "Thesaurus Boy" I think is more appropriate.
- Larkin: [tosses a folder onto a table while in the US Marshalls office] Here's the jacket on Cameron Poe. His wife's on the way here now. A U.S. Ranger, highly decorated. Did a litte hellraising when he was a kid, but nothing serious.
- Duncan Malloy: Explain to me why any of this matters.
- Larkin: Fact 1: we've got a plane up there filled with killers, rapists, and thieves and we've got this guy Cameron Poe: in on an involuntary manslaughter beef, non-gang affiliated. He's a parolee hitching a ride home. Fact 2: Poe has a chance to get off the plane, doesn't do it. Why? Fact 3: our guard Falzon said a convict named Cameron Poe planted Sims's tape recorder on him.
- [brightens]
- Larkin: These are interesting facts. You do the math on this... and we got an ally on that plane.
- [referring to Malloy's Corvette falling from the plane]
- Vince Larkin: I know a good body shop in Fresno if it's insured.
- Duncan Malloy: I was bored with that car anyway.
- Vince Larkin: It worked out nicely, then.
- Vince Larkin: [referring to agent Sims] He brought a gun on the plane!
- Duncan Malloy: If I knew the way you guys run things I would have told him to bring a fuckin' UZI on board!
