Quotes 

• Vladimir Laitanan : [Talking privately]  alright, you have my attention: tell me about this buyer?

  Renee Walker : His name's Ernst Meier, a German arms dealer

  Vladimir Laitanan : I've never heard of him

  Renee Walker : He did most of his business in Asia, he just started branching out into North America

  Vladimir Laitanan : What's he looking to buy?

  Renee Walker : Weapons grade Uranium

  Vladimir Laitanan : You're serious?

  Renee Walker : Very, "Someone" in the Russian syndicate smuggled nuclear field rods out of the Ukraine: their planning on selling it on the open market

  Vladimir Laitanan : [Shakes his head]  I have no idea what you're talking about... I don't

  Renee Walker : You can find out: you're very well connected

  Vladimir Laitanan : I've always admired your ambition but your "chasing the devil", dealing AK-47's, no one really cares but nuclear materials...

  Renee Walker : [Interrupts him]  the profit is worth it

  Vladimir Laitanan : You need money huh? You can always come work for me

  Renee Walker : That's why I'm doing this so I don't ever have to work for anyone

  Vladimir Laitanan : Have a seat. If I could find out, what would it be worth?

  Renee Walker : Thirty percent of the deal, I don't have to tell you that's more money than you could possibly know what to do with: Meier says these rods are going to be sold soon so if you want to make a counter offer, it has to happen fast. If you don't know anything, tell me so I can go somewhere else

  Vladimir Laitanan : How do you know this man? Do you trust him?

  Renee Walker : There's no one I trust more, I've been with him for two years

  Vladimir Laitanan : What'd you mean "we"?

  Renee Walker : It's professional. Can you help us or not?

  Vladimir Laitanan : I'll make a few calls. I'll see what I can find out but I'm going to have to meet this Meier and I need a "good faith" payment up front

  Renee Walker : How much?

  Vladimir Laitanan : Five million

  Renee Walker : That's a lot of money

  Vladimir Laitanan : I'm taking a bigger a risk just by making these calls. Besides five million is nothing compared to what your buyer will have to pay for nuclear field rods

  Renee Walker : I'll ask him but I can't make any promises

  Vladimir Laitanan : He wants my help? That's the price of admission

  Renee Walker : OK

  Vladimir Laitanan : There's parking garage at the corner of 12th and Market Street. "Someone" will meet him there on the roof. Once the money is in our account, we'll bring him back here to talk

  Renee Walker : I'll give him a call

  Vladimir Laitanan : It was good to see you: you're going to make me start losing sleep again

  Renee Walker : I'll let you know what Meier says

• Vladimir Laitanan : I spoke to my men: did you get your buyer on the phone?

  Renee Walker : He agreed to the money. He'll be at the parking garage in twenty minutes

  Vladimir Laitanan : Very good, we have a little time to catch up. You still like your single malts?

  Renee Walker : Not right now

  Vladimir Laitanan : You sure? Its 30 years old

  Renee Walker : No thanks

  Vladimir Laitanan : What you said earlier next to the river: tired of living and wanting to die. What happened to you?

  Renee Walker : It's not important

  Vladimir Laitanan : It is to me

  Renee Walker : Look, you don't worry about it. Once we make this deal, it won't matter

  Vladimir Laitanan : You're not the only one who's been suffering these past few years: it's hard for me admit but I never forgave myself for what I did to you

  Renee Walker : It's in the past... forget it

  Vladimir Laitanan : I don't want to forget it. I had too much to drink that night. I wasn't thinking clearly

  Renee Walker : Wow, I've heard you apologize for "anything", it's definitely a first

  Vladimir Laitanan : [Raises his voice]  look, I'm just trying to make things right. You don't have to be such a bitch about it

  Renee Walker : [Irritated]  was I being a bitch? Maybe I should apologize?

  Vladimir Laitanan : Oh, you're something else. You never back down do you? I've missed our "little arguments"

• Renee Walker : [Referring to transferring the money]  is it done?

  Vladimir Laitanan : Not yet

  Renee Walker : My partner's good for the money: you should be making calls, tracking down the rods

  Vladimir Laitanan : I'm not going to make any calls because there isn't going to be a deal with your partner

  Renee Walker : What're you talking about?

  Vladimir Laitanan : Once we have the money, it's over: we don't need him anymore. We will be five million dollars richer

  Renee Walker : You son of a bitch

  Vladimir Laitanan : I'm not a fool, I'm not about to get involved with people who traffic nuclear arms

  Renee Walker : Listen, you can't do this

  Vladimir Laitanan : Why? Does this man mean something to you?

  Renee Walker : No but I worked for more than a year on this deal. I'm not going to let it go because you don't have the guts to see it through

  Vladimir Laitanan : It's not about guts, it's about being smart

  Renee Walker : Really? Is it "smart" to be selling small arms for the rest of your life? I bring you the score of a lifetime and you just piss it away? For what? For five million dollars? How long is that going to last you?

  Vladimir Laitanan : Long enough

  Renee Walker : All of this is worth it for you, I know it: that's why I brought this deal to you. We can do this... together. Once we made the deal, we can have the money to be together. We can start over, we can make "our own moves", but I need my buyer alive

  Vladimir Laitanan : [after removing her hands from his cheeks]  sorry, this is the way I want it: you'll see, it's for the best
