Quotes 

• Dennis Rivers : Sweet Stephen, are you evil?

  Sweet Stephan : Isn't everybody?

• Mr. Jack : You know what? Today was a great day.

  Sweet Stephan : It was a day.

  Mr. Jack : The perfect mix of intrigue, danger, tragedy, love, sex, violence and plain old American fun.

  Sweet Stephan : You're not from England, you know.

• Mr. Jack : [last lines] 

  Sweet Stephan : Hey, you're not from England you know.

  Mr. Jack : No, I'm not.

• Sweet Stephan : So, he-hey, do you know why Philly robbed the porno store or not?

  Mr. Jack : The answer is yes. And if you gave it some thought, you'd know too.

  Sweet Stephan : I don't like thinking, you just tell me.

  Mr. Jack : The answer is elementary my dear Stephen. Evil, begets evil.

  Sweet Stephan : And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

  Mr. Jack : It means, that there is a logical, and natural force in the world. It preserves things spherically. Everything that goes around comes around. What goes up, must come down. You with me?

  Sweet Stephan : I'm with you so far.

  Mr. Jack : Good work and hard effort will undoubtedly reap reward. Do something good, something good will come from it. Right?

  Sweet Stephan : Right.

  Mr. Jack : Well, the opposite is true. Do something wicked, something wicked, this way comes.

  Sweet Stephan : Equate this to the fucking porno store.

  Mr. Jack : Well, contrary to popular belief, the selling of sex in any form is wrong. I'm not saying I agree with it, but check your bible, they're not going for it.

  Sweet Stephan : Is-masturbation evil?

  Mr. Jack : According to my mother yes. Thank god she's dead.

  Sweet Stephan : So the very existence of the porno store-was conceived in evil.

  Mr. Jack : Wickedness, yes.

  Sweet Stephan : And Bucky had something coming to him because he satisfied my desire to see other people fucking.

  Mr. Jack : Voyeurism, correct. Gentlemen!

  [to passerby] 

  Sweet Stephan : So, Philly was sent in to even things out an eye for an eye-why would he get his head blown off by Tommy the cop?

  Mr. Jack : There are various levels, of evil. Selling porno in a crappy Los Angeles hellhole is not as evil as robbing that same place and shooting an innocent clerk. There's an unbalance there and the-forces of nature don't allow for that kind of thing.

  Sweet Stephan : So... Because the evil committed by Philly far outweighed the evil committed by Bucky, an arbitrator had to be brought in.

  Mr. Jack : An interloper.

  Sweet Stephan : Tommy the cop.

  Mr. Jack : Precisely.

  Sweet Stephan : And evil begets evil.

  Mr. Jack : By George, I think you've got it.

  Sweet Stephan : What makes you so sure he wouldn't-turn our lights out?

  Mr. Jack : You said it yourself in the porno store. Wasn't in his nature. Really Stephen. You don't give yourself enough credit.

  Sweet Stephan : I could've been wrong. You know? If that cop had come in two seconds later-.

  Mr. Jack : It was fate then.

  Sweet Stephan : Fate's what people believe in when it's the last choice they've got.

  Mr. Jack : Oh my, I disagree. I think fate had everything to do with it. It was fate that we were in the store to begin with. It was fate that there was a clerk behind the counter, and it was his fate to die today. I believe in fate as much as I believe in love.

  Sweet Stephan : I know you do. But that doesn't make a difference. You didn't know.

  Mr. Jack : Well I'll tell you this I go by two things, intuition, and assumption. Intuition tells me what to think and how to act. And assumption rules out the rest.

  Sweet Stephan : And you'd risk your life based on that line of shit?

  Mr. Jack : If we stop assuming, we'll lose something important. An assumption, is a leap of faith to believe that, something that we really want to believe is actually true. If we stop making assumptions, we might just lose our faith.

  Sweet Stephan : I was scared.

  Mr. Jack : And that's okay.

  Sweet Stephan : Uh, what if uh-my intuition tells me-that we're both gonna die-soon?

  Mr. Jack : Sweet Stephen, everything dies. The world is a circle, and everything dies.
