Quotes 

  • Frank Sartino : Go on, I'm listening.

    Cliff Elgin : The proposition's very simple, Mr. Sartino. Whatever George Kane used to pay you for the merchandise, I'll up it to 20%, plus...

    Frank Sartino : Plus what?

    Cliff Elgin : Half the cash out of the Denver deal.

    Frank Sartino : [chuckles]  Kane hijacked my shipment. All that money is mine.

    Cliff Elgin : Half, or the money stays buried, Mr. Sartino.

    [pause] 

    Frank Sartino : Buddy.

    [Buddy walks up to Sartino] 

    Frank Sartino : Kid's ambitious, huh?

    Buddy : Yeah.

    Frank Sartino : This generation - they can't wait to take over.

    [Elgin chuckes] 

    Frank Sartino : And that's you're after, right, kid, to take over?

    Cliff Elgin : Only with your protection, Mr. Sartino.

    Frank Sartino : [nods]  Suppose I were to say yes. I could beat it out of you, but suppose I said yes. What happens if Kane beats the rap?

    Cliff Elgin : He won't beat the rap.

    Frank Sartino : You seem pretty certain. Kane's got a smart lawyer.

    Cliff Elgin : I can fix it so it doesn't matter how smart his lawyer is.

    Frank Sartino : How? You can't get to him, not with the cops sitting on him.

    Cliff Elgin : Tomorrow, he'll be in courtroom number six - preliminary hearing.

    Frank Sartino : Go on, I'm still listening.

    Cliff Elgin : Anything might happen if you set it up right. George Kane's finished anyway. I mean, businesswise, he's dead. He can't operate. I can, Mr. Sartino. I'm a law student, I'm clean, there nothing in the computer about me, and I'll pay you 20% over the going price.

    Frank Sartino : Okay. If what you say might happen happens, phone me. I'll listen even better then.

    Cliff Elgin : [nods]  Fine. Thank you, sir.

    [shakes Sartino's hand and leaves]
