Quotes 

• Dan Tanna : So the deal is, I get a villa in the south of France, all the fringe benefits, and five million dollars in cash... to kill my friend. No, no, no... to kill my BEST friend! Is that about it?

  Emil Remick : [nods]  Precisely it, Mr. Tanna. We have a rather complete doccier on you. For example, we knew that the Roth hotel chain was the first of your many clients, and that you and Mr. Roth are close friends.

  Dan Tanna : My very point, Mr. Remick! You see, where I come from, friends don't generally go about killing other friends. But uh...

  [picks up a stack of money offered him] 

  Dan Tanna : this is rather intriguing. What do you all have against Philip Roth?

  Luke Kichi : Nothing personal. It's just that Mr. Roth is trying to build four casinos and hotels in places where he is not welcome by us... Singapore, Manila, Korea and Taiwan.

  Dan Tanna : Mr. Roth builds a lot of casino hotels.

  Mr. Singh : But not in places where they would seriously impair our business interests.

  Dan Tanna : And what is your business, Mr. Singh?

  Mr. Singh : Mr. Tanna... you must have already drawn a conclusion.

  Dan Tanna : [smiles, waving cash stack at projected image of Roth]  The same business Mr. Roth is in, huh? Gambling? But only of the illegal variety, and if he builds casinos, then you're out of business.

  Emil Remick : [smiles]  Very astute, Mr. Tanna... very astute.
