Grand Canyon (1991)

Shaun Baker: Rocstar

Quotes 

• Simon : I've gotta ask you for a favor. Let me go my way here. This truck's my responsibility, and now that the car's hooked up to it, it's my responsibility too.

  Rocstar : Do you think I'm stupid? Just answer that question first.

  Simon : Look, I don't know nothing about you; you don't know nothing about me. I don't know if you're stupid, or some kind of genius. All I know is that I need to get out of here, and you got the gun. So I'm asking you, for the second time, let me go my way here.

  Rocstar : I'm gonna grant you that favor, and I'm gonna expect you to remember it if we ever meet again. But tell me this, are you asking me as a sign of respect, or are you asking because I've got the gun?

  Simon : Man, the world ain't supposed to work like this. I mean, maybe you don't know that yet. I'm supposed to be able to do my job without having to ask you if I can. That dude is supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything is supposed to be different than it is.

  Rocstar : So what's your answer?

  Simon : You ain't got the gun, we ain't having this conversation.

  Rocstar : That's what I thought: no gun, no respect. That's why I always got the gun.

• Rocstar : Is that right, you dissin' me?

  Simon : No, I'm not. Nothin' like it. I'm doin' a job here, fella. This is how I make my living. I just ride out there and do the job. I want it to go as smooth as it can be. I don't like it to be any harder than it already is.
