Quotes

Sonny: "She had one call and she called you. She knew I could make bail. You come in here, you mix her up, you turn her head all around. She's all changed. I didn't want that. I didn't want her to be a frontrunner. What's gonna happen to us now?"

Reuben: "She stood up on a table. She's a free woman. Maybe you can live with it, maybe you can't."

Reuben: "I know the first time you're in is bad. It comes with the job. I saw a pregnant women on a picket line get hit in the stomach with a club. I saw a boy of 16 shot in the back. I saw a guy blown to hell and back when he tried to start his car in the morning. You just got your feet wet on this one."
