Killer Joe Cooper
- Killer Joe Cooper: Tuna casserole! May I serve?
- Dottie Smith: How are you gonna kill my mama?
- Killer Joe Cooper: That's not appropriate dinner conversation, Dottie.
- Dottie Smith: Unless you poison her.
- Killer Joe Cooper: I mean all she did was suck his cock and try and steal your money. It could have been worse.
- Ansel Smith: How?
- Killer Joe Cooper: Well... no, I suppose that's about as bad as it gets.
- Killer Joe Cooper: That poor, miserable bastard set his own genitals on fire just to teach his girlfriend a lesson. I guess he showed her. I wonder if she ever got over it.
- Dottie Smith: Was he all right?
- Killer Joe Cooper: No. No, he was not all right. He set his genitals on fire.
- Killer Joe Cooper: If you insult me again, I will cut your face off and wear it over my own. Do you understand?
- Sharla Smith: You want some chicken? I stopped by the K-Fry-C.
- Killer Joe Cooper: Yes, please.
- Sharla Smith: Help yourself. It's on the stove.
- Ansel Smith: Get it for him, would you hun?
- Sharla Smith: Sure. White or dark?
- Killer Joe Cooper: Leg.
- Sharla Smith: You son of a bitch...
- Killer Joe Cooper: [grabs her by the neck] No need for name calling. I haven't called you any names. I am a guest here. You be polite.
- Killer Joe Cooper: My payment is 25 thousand dollars, in cash, in advance. No exceptions.
- Ansel Smith: 25?
- Killer Joe Cooper: Yes sir.
- Ansel Smith: [to Chris] I thought you said 20.
- Chris Smith: I was told 20.
- Killer Joe Cooper: 25. Is that a problem?
- Chris Smith: We don't have a problem with 25. That's not our problem.
- Killer Joe Cooper: What is your problem?
- Chris Smith: We have a problem with the advance.
- Killer Joe Cooper: No exceptions.
- Chris Smith: Sir, let me explain. One of the reasons we're interested in having this done, is my mother holds a very large insurance policy.
- Killer Joe Cooper: They usually do.
- Chris Smith: We thought if we could guarantee payment after the policy had been covered...
- Killer Joe Cooper: Look, this really isn't open for discussion. The conversation is finished.
- [Chris goes after him as he leaves]
- Killer Joe Cooper: What did you think this is, Let's Make a Deal? This is serious business you're fucking with here, boy.
- Chris Smith: I'm aware of that.
- Killer Joe Cooper: No, I don't think you are. I don't take you seriously.
- Chris Smith: This is going to get done, one way or another.
- Killer Joe Cooper: We never discussed the possibility of a retainer.
- Chris Smith: What do you mean? Hey, man, you talking about my sister?
- Killer Joe Cooper: Is that who she is?
- Killer Joe Cooper: You want me off the job? Just say the word.
- Chris Smith: When are you planning on doing it?
- Killer Joe Cooper: Tonight.
- Chris Smith: Really? So you'd be leaving tomorrow, then?
- Killer Joe Cooper: No, no. The retainer is for the money. I'm not leaving until I get my money.
- Chris Smith: I don't like that.
- Killer Joe Cooper: Well, I don't care.
- Chris Smith: I don't want you near my sister.
- Killer Joe Cooper: I don't care.
- Chris Smith: And if I tell you the deal's off?
- Killer Joe Cooper: I'll leave right now, and you'll never see me again. Your call.
- [Dottie is holding up her dress]
- Killer Joe Cooper: Why wouldn't you wear that for me?
- Dottie Smith: It's not me.
- Killer Joe Cooper: Not when you're not in it.
- Killer Joe Cooper: [to beaten-up Sharla] Now, you're a very beautiful woman. Don't you think so, Ansel?
- Ansel Smith: I hadn't given it much thought.
- Killer Joe Cooper: [Punches the wall] NO! WRONG ANSWER!
