In America you're on your own

Quotes:

Jackie Cogan: America is not a country it's a business

Jackie Cogan: Very few guys know me

Jackie Cogan: They cry, they plead, they beg, they piss themselves, they cry for their mothers. It gets embarrassing. I like to kill 'em softly. From a distance

Barack Obama (on TV): ...to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one...::Driver: You hear that line? Line's for you.::Jackie Cogan: Don't make me laugh. One people. It's a myth created by Thomas Jefferson.::Driver: Oh, so now you're going to have a go at Jefferson, huh?::Jackie Cogan: My friend, Thomas Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote the words 'All men are created equal', words he clearly didn't believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He's a rich white snob who's sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So, yeah, he writes some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl. This guy wants to tell me we're living in a community? Don't make me laugh. I'm living in America, and in America you're on your own. America's not a country. It's just a business. Now fuckin' pay me.

Mickey: I was drinking before you got out of your father's cock. Don't tell me what I do.

Jackie Cogan: You ever kill anyone?::Driver: No.::Jackie Cogan: It can get touchy-feely.::Driver: Touchy-feely?::Jackie Cogan: Emotional, not fun, a lot of fuss. They cry. They plead. They beg. They piss themselves. They call for their mothers. It gets embarrassing.::Jackie Cogan: I like to kill them softly, from a distance. Not close enough for feelings. Don't like feelings. Don't want to think about them.

Jackie Cogan: Next he'll be telling us we're a community,

Johnny Amato: You think dog lover there can handle a card game?::Frankie: Shit. Those fuckin things? Those things are protected. You can't do those things unless you're so fuckin stupid you actually like everybody going around trying to off you.::Johnny Amato: There's one you can do.::Frankie: John, there's ten I can do. I know of at least ten I can do but then after I'm gonna have at least eight hot ginzos out looking for me.::Johnny Amato: No, no, not this one. Cause the minute it fuckin happens, they're gonna know right off who did it.::Frankie: Well for some reason, John, that don't make me feel better, you know?::Johnny Amato: No, not us! They're not even gonna be thinking it might be us.

Driver: They told me when they heard that if Dillon wasn't available that I was supposed to talk to the fella he sent. Is that you?::Jackie Cogan: I don't see nobody else who might be here to meet you. Do you?

Russell: [to Frankie] Then after we go over to Orlando. We're gonna burn the car. So Kenny sticks a rag in the gas tank and he lights it off.::Kenny Gill: [flashback to when they're going to burn the car] Do be such a-Russell, you're a fucking pussy. I've done it a million fucking times. [lights the rag with a lighter] It's fine. It goes up like a fuckin bonfire. You'll love it. [he walks away towards the back of the car and faces it from a few yards away. The rag's flame is spreading] See? [Kenny looks at Russell and back at the car. They're both watching the car and the flame spread on the rag. The car blows up and the impact makes it instantly reverse towards Kenny. Kenny topples over on the road and is rolling around in pain. Russell starts laughing hysterically] Ah fuck!::Russell: [scene goes back to Russell telling the story to Frankie] Kenny, he didn't have no eyebrows left, not much hair, and no sense of humor either.

Amtrak in Vermont: Summer to Fall Foliage

Order: Reorder
Duration: 10:00
Updated: 13 Oct 2013

September through October is a period of transition of the seasons and color of the leaves, but daily run of the Vermonter is matched by the same stroke of the watch each day. This video captures the southbound Vermonter, as well as one run of the Ethan Allen departing on its voyage, through the changing leaves in the Green Mountains of central Vermont. While most Amtrak trains look the same across the country, the uniqueness of its passing in Vermont is defined by the horn echo that channels through the valley walls creating a poetic symphony of the natural landscape. In 2013, the colors were the best at peak as they had been in years. Unfortunately, most of the good array of colors does not happen trackside, but I believe there are two shots in here that capture the foliage well. August 24: The southbound Vermonter crosses the Dog River and Route 12 shortly after departing the station at Montpelier Junction, already making its way to track speed (currently 59 MPH in dark territory). 0:00 - 57 - Vermonter - St. Albans, VT - Washington, D.C. Amtrak P42DC 104 August 25: After cresting the grade to Roxbury, the town that gives the subdivision its name (NECR Roxbury Subdivision), the Vermonter rolls across the Roxbury flat. 0:35 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 111 September 15: On a sunny morning, the Vemonter flies by a close camera at the straightaway at Milepost 67. 1:10 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 167 September 27: The Ethan Allen has just departed Rutland early in the morning, crossing Otter Creek in Center Rutland. 1:50 - 290 - Ethan Allen - Rutland, VT - New York City Amtrak P32AC-DM 700 September 29: At the base of Camels Hump, the Central Vermont railway makes one of several crossings of the Winooski River. I took some time to capture extra footage of the bridge and fog lifting off the river because the scene is too wide to capture in one frame. 3:00 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 4 October 1: The colors are passing peak at the summit of the Roxbury Sub, seen here as the Vermonter rolls across the Roxbury Flat along Route 12A south of the town of Roxbury. 4:30 - 55 - (Weekday Symbol) Amtrak P42DC 4 October 3: A couple of days later, the same locomotive in the cycle is seen leading the train through an explosion of colors on the Green Mountains along the Third Branch of the White River. 5:45 - 55 Amtrak P42DC 4 October 10: In the middle of the woods along the Dog River, the Vermonter sneaks past the waning foliage. 7:00 - 55 Amtrak P42DC 115 October 12: The Vermonter speeds by Norwich University with bells from the campus bell tower playing in the distance. 7:45 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 115 October 13: With the leaves gone except for the evergreens, the Vermonter passes Mud Pond in Roxbury. 8:30 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 108 Thanks for watching!
