Taglines: Hell of a way to end a partnership. Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything. She smells like angels ought to smell. Skinny little Nancy Callahan. She grew up. She filled out. You're gonna love this, baby. Do I take this cop down and risk it all? There is no justice without sin. Deadly little Miho
Quotes:
Brian: [tossing a grenade at Miho] Suck on this, you stupid slag!
[while holding a razor to Jackie Boy's face]::Dwight: I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman.::Jack Rafferty: You're making a big mistake, man. A *big* mistake.::Dwight: You made a big mistake yourself... you didn't flush.::[Shoves Jack's head into the toilet]
Marv: I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad.
[a grenade lands at his feet]::Dwight: And everything seemed to be going so well.
[repeated line]::Dwight, Gail: Yeesh.
Wendy: [to Marv] You can call me Goldie.
Dwight: The Valkyrie at my side is shouting and laughing with the pure, hateful, bloodthirsty joy of the slaughter... and so am I.
Marv: This is blood for blood and by the gallons. These are the old days man, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back! There's no choices left. And I'm ready for war.::Lucille: Prison was hell for you Marv, it's gonna be life this time.::Marv: Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here. But I'm out now. It took someone who was kind to me getting killed to do it. But I'm out. And I know exactly what I'm gonna do.
Marv: It wasn't you losers who killed Goldie. The guy who did that knew what he was doing. Still, you got to have something to tell me. Like who it was who sent you.::[Marv pistol whips him]::Marv: I don't hear you giving me any name, jerk. Guess when I shot you in the belly, I aimed a little too high.::[shoots him in the crotch]::Marv: You keep holding out on me like this, and I'm going to have to get really nasty.::Stan: It was Telly Stern passed me the order. Runs the tables over at the Triple Ace Club.::Marv: Thanks again.::[Shoots him in the head]
Ronnie: Remember - we don't have to deliver every last inch of the man, Brian!::Brian: You're right, Ronnie - lend us your knife.
