And when I find out who did it, it won't be quick and quiet like it was with you. It'll be loud and nasty. My kind of kill. And when his eyes go dead the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him. I love you, Goldie."

• (Mickey Rourke) "You can scream now if you want."

But as soon as they had me for a fall guy they showed up, guns blazing. But they didn't get me and I've been killing my way to the truth ever since. So go ahead, doll, shoot me now, or get the hell out of my way."

• (Wendy) "Kill em' for me Marv. Kill 'em good."
• (Mickey Rourke) "I won't let you down, Goldie."

• (Mickey Rourke) "That's one fine coat you're wearing."
