- Russell Taylor: Right.
- Brenda Leigh Johnson: Well, then, could you please... "liaise?"
- Puppet: You know why people shoot people in my neighborhood? 'Cause it's Tuesday. 'Cause it's too hot. 'Cause you look at 'em funny.
- Andy Flynn: I can't blame them. Those gangs, if they think you talked to the cops, they kill your dog. If they know you talked to the cops, they kill you.
