Quotes:

George: It was the greatest feeling I ever had. Followed abruptly by the worst feeling I ever had.

[last lines]::George: So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

George: Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.

Fred Jung: Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

Ermine Jung: You think people don't know you're a drug dealer. Everyone knows, its no secret. Every time I go out I'm humiliated. So you go to jail. It's for your own good. You need to straighten your life out. What are you looking at Mrs. Gracie, your son's no prize.

Mirtha Jung: We are broke, that is my fucking problem and you are a fucking spy. That's right. Always spyin', always judgin'. Everyone's laughing in your face, you fucking pussy. You let Diego fuck you in the ass. Maybe because you like it, maybe because you're a fucking faggot. That's what I think you are. I think you are really fuckin' him cause you're not fucking me. Why's that? Why? Why don't you fuck me anymore? Don't you ever touch me again, motherfucker! Don't ever put your hands on me again, asshole! Get your hands off me. [Mirtha is carried out of the car by police] He's a fugitive and a fucking cocaine dealer! He's got a kilo in his trunk right now!

Mirtha Jung: I'm divorcin' you George. I am getting custody of Kristina. And when you get out next week, you're gonna pay support and that's the end of it. There is someone else. I did not think you would want to know but I wanted to tell you. Say something.::George: What do you want me to say? I'm in prison. You should know you're the one who put me in here.::Mirtha Jung: I knew you would say something like that. Always thinkin' about yourself.

George: May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face.::Fred Jung: And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.::Fred Jung: Cheers, Georgie.::George: Cheers, pop.

George: Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one Dad. That was really something. You remember that? And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real. Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George.

George: So, what'd I tell ya, Derek?::Derek: It's great, but what am I supposed to do with it?::George: Sell it.::Derek: Jesus Christ, George, I don't see you for two years and you show up on my doorstep with 110 pounds of blow.::George: Just fucking sell it, Derek.::Derek: Okay, but it's going to take me a year.::[scene shift to interior Derek's bar surrounded by stacks of cash]::Derek: 36 hours, 36 hours, I can't believe we got rid of it in 36 hours.::George: I think it's fair to say you underestimated the market, Derek.::Derek: Right on. It's going to take us longer to count it than it did to sell it.

He uses this position to cut short a gang rape of Mariam (Dogo), a slender girl that he fancies, and then he takes her on as his woman. Meanwhile, Nixon and some other impatient youngstas, decide to pull a job on their own, with a fake gun.
