• Jake Trevor : Well look like the Reverend did his job right well I guess we better do ours, hey you take care of yourself okay.

  Laurie Thompson : Baby you coming back?

  Jake Trevor : you know I'm coming back I'm home now.

• Jake Trevor : [after capturing Dink who overheard them]  What're we gonna to do with this little punk?

  John Bookman : I don't know. Since he heard our plans, maybe we ought to just kill him.

  Jake Trevor : You know, I was thinking about shooting him myself.

  Laurie Thompson : [scoffs]  We can't shoot him in a community rec center. Besides, we got to make it look like it's an accident

  Dink : Y'all don't scare me. I'm a Reb.

  John Bookman : Oh, man, you ain't no Reb. They wouldn't let us squirt like you in the Rebs. We know because we started it.

  Dink : [scoffing]  Yeah, when there were still dinosaurs.

  John Bookman : You got a big mouth.

  Dink : You don't know nothing, man!

  John Bookman : You know everything, right?

  Dink : I know you're going to die with that dumb-ass plan.

  Jake Trevor : [grabs him in a threatening way]  Hey kid, don't you be talking about nobody dying! Now, you just take it easy.

  Laurie Thompson : So, a little war wouldn't bother you, huh?

  Dink : I ain't got no love for anyone. I'm a businessman, my brothers and sister. It's all fair.

  John Bookman : Yeah well, why don't you come help us be more fair?

  Dink : I might be interested for a price.

  John Bookman : Okay, then. How about some guns, ammunition, explosives, that kind of thing?

  Dink : Coach, a man who earns what you do can afford the best. And I know where to get you the best.

  Jake Trevor : Man, you can't trust him.

  Dink : Yes, you can. Sure you can.

  Jake Trevor : He's gonna sell you out.

  Dink : Wait. Now just hear me out. I gotta tell you something. I did something I wish I hadn't have. I heard that cop saying he had a license number he got from your father. I was the one who ratted him out to Spyro. About a minute after I opened my mouth, I wish I hadn't have. I'm sorry, man. I wanna make it up.

  John Bookman : All right. Chill.

  Dink : Still gonna cost you though.

  John Bookman : Yeah, well like you said I can afford it.

  Dink : It's only going to take me about a few hours to set up this buy. But I'm talking 12, 15 G's now. Cash. All in hundreds. 10% of that sticks to me. My commission.

  Jake Trevor : All right, you got a contract. An enforceable one.

  Dink : It's as good as done

  John Bookman : Yeah.

  Jake Trevor : [grabs Dink as he's walking out; to John]  Hey, wait a minute! I hope you know what you're doing

  Laurie Thompson : [as Dink leaves]  He's gonna to go straight to Spyro.

  John Bookman : No, no, at 10% commission I don't think so. All right.

• Jake Trevor : Hello, Laurie.

  Laurie Thompson : Jake.

  Jake Trevor : You know you looked pretty good over there.

  Laurie Thompson : Thanks. It's everything you taught me.

  Jake Trevor : Yeah. Got a little time for some conversation?

  Laurie Thompson : Yeah. It's long overdue.

  Jake Trevor : Come on. You know it's a little awkward for me. I mean coming back this way and all. Under these conditions.

  Laurie Thompson : Yeah. Well you missed a lot not knowing Kenny. You know he was a lot like you. Headstrong. Full of his own ways about things. Basketball was his life. He was gonna be a big star. He had a plan just like you.

  Jake Trevor : Yeah, I was gonna be heavyweight champ of the world.

  Laurie Thompson : Oh, and I knew you could do it.

  Jake Trevor : Did you?

  Laurie Thompson : No doubt in my mind.

  Jake Trevor : You never let me know.

  Laurie Thompson : That's why I had to let you go.

  Jake Trevor : Let me go, Laurie? You let me go? Come on, Laurie. Let me go?

  Laurie Thompson : Jake I didn't wanna get in the way of your dreams. You would've never, never forgiven me for it. And it would've killed whatever we had.

  Jake Trevor : Yeah, it's just like me. Killing things, huh.

  Laurie Thompson : Jake, I read all about that in the papers. It wasn't your fault. Those things happen to boxers. You took a chance. It could've been you.

  Jake Trevor : You know, it was never the same after that. I thought about a comeback, but comeback from what? I was a failure, all around failure. I failed myself, I failed you. I couldn't even face up to you. Especially after how you sent me away.

  Laurie Thompson : Kenny knew all about you. Oh, he had an album of all your fights, and he knew you hadn't forgotten us and that, you know, you tried to send us some money. And he loved you. He loved you. I made sure of that.

  Jake Trevor : But I never heard from him.

  Laurie Thompson : He... He wanted to wait until he was all grown up. He wanted you to know him as a man and as a friend.

  Jake Trevor : I don't know what to say, baby.

  Laurie Thompson : You don't have to say anything.

  Jake Trevor : Come here. Come here.

  [Embraces her as she starts to cry] 

  John Bookman : [shows them the huge collection of firearms]  Look at that. The kid came through. I checked them out. They work.

  Jake Trevor : Well, looks like you were right this time, huh?

  John Bookman : What do you mean, "this time"? And I carried these up all by myself while you guys were out there holding hands.
