Quotes 

• Dave Boyle : Maybe some day you forget what it's like to be human and maybe then, it's ok.

• Jimmy Markum : And it's really starting to piss me off, Dave! She's my own little daughter, and I can't even cry for her!

  Dave Boyle : Jimmy, you're crying now.

• Dave : Neighborhood needs a fucking crime wave. Get property values where they belong.

• [after Dave comes in with blood all over him] 

  Dave : So, I'm walking to my car, and this guy comes up to me and he asks for a light. I say I don't smoke. He says neither does he. So, my heart starts clocking a buck fifty, 'cause there's no one around but me and him.

  Celeste Boyle : [Celeste sits to bandage his stomach]  Oh, my God.

  Dave : So that's when I see the knife. He says, 'Your wallet or your life, bitch. I'm leaving with one of 'em.'

  Celeste Boyle : That's what he said?

  Dave : Yeah! So I try to brush past him, and that's when he slices me.

  Celeste Boyle : I thought you said that you swung on him first.

  Dave : Jesus, Celeste, can I tell the fuckin' story?

  [She realizes now that he's crying] 

  Celeste Boyle : I'm sorry, babe. Ssshh.

  Dave : I went fuckin' nuts on him, baby. I went off! I bashed his head on the parking lot. There was blood everywhere, and I might 'a' killed him!

  Celeste Boyle : Killed him!

  [She sees that he's sobbing and stands up to hug him] 

  Celeste Boyle : Ssshh.

  Dave : It makes you feel alone, you know, hurtin' somebody?

• Dave Boyle : Hey, you think I can get that Sprite, Sean?

  Sean Devine : Sure.

  [opens the door to leave] 

  Dave Boyle : Oh, I get it. You're the good cop. How about a meatball sub while you're at it?

  Sean Devine : I ain't your bitch, Dave. Looks like you're going to have to wait.

  Dave Boyle : Yeah, but you're someone's bitch, aren't you, Sean?
