Quotes 

• Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Give him the key or I'll have you kneecapped.

  Jimmy Dix : Whoops.

  [Jimmy throws a "Shredder" shotgun shell into the fireplace] 

  Jimmy Dix : Look like nobody gets the money. That's one of those new plastic keys.

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Get the god damn key!

  Jimmy Dix : [to Joe]  The kind that shred.

  Joe Hallenbeck : Darian, get down!

• Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Football is a dyin' beast, Joe. No heroes left. Not anymore. Since ol' Sonny Werblin paid four hundred thousand dollars to Joe Namath in '66, the son of a bitches have just gotten greedier. God Almighty, when's it enough? Jesus, free agents. "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme." Now you got guys on PCP wiggin' out and shootin' themselves on the field. The American public is piss-pot tired of it, and they're changing the channel.

  Joe Hallenbeck : Ratings are down. So you're gonna bribe some senators to legalize gambling.

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Legalize sports gambling. You see, with all the heroes gone, legalized gambling is about the only thing that'll save the beast. You follow me, Joe? We're talking about some big bucks here. We're talking about billions. That's nine zeroes, son.

  Joe Hallenbeck : I'm not your fuckin' son.

• Joe Hallenbeck : Oh, if it isn't Shelly Marcone himself.

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Careful, son. Just my friends call me Shelly.

  Joe Hallenbeck : You got friends? When did this happen?

• Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Joe, have you ever heard of the Senate's Commission to Investigate Gambling in Professional Sports?

  Joe Hallenbeck : Is that who you're payin' off?

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : The commission's gonna vote next March. I got every one of 'em in my hip pocket, except Senator Calvin Baynard. I tried to bribe that son of a bitch, Joe. He gave it back because it wasn't enough.

  Joe Hallenbeck : [chuckles]  What's he want?

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : Six million. Or he'll go straight to the police. You know, I think it's just gonna be cheaper to kill that son of a bitch.

  Joe Hallenbeck : Takin' off a U.S. Senator, that's pretty ballsy, even for an asshole like you.

  Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone : You said it, Joe-boy. That's why we're gonna frame you for the senator's murder.
