- Buddy Dieker: These shows... greatest adds ever for capitalism. Any problem would be solved with a new toaster oven.
- Marty Byrde: Why do you watch them?
- Buddy Dieker: So I can feel superior.
- Marty Byrde: Hmm.
- Buddy Dieker: Like I'm not sitting in a basement, watching daytime TV. So, what's your problem? You need a new toaster oven?
- Marty Byrde: You know Frank Cosgrove from your days in Detroit? He used to be involved with the teamsters.
- Buddy Dieker: He's a mobster. Yeah, I knew him. We did some business.
- Marty Byrde: He's in Kansas City, and I need to get to him. I could use your help.
- Buddy Dieker: Well, one thing you'd better know walkin' in. Cosgrove's a psycho. You look at him wrong, he'll gut you.
- Marty Byrde: Hmm.
