Quotes 

• Miles : This track with what you remember?

  Jenkins : Frankie did a good job, but it's a sketch, not a blueprint. There's everything in that building, from secret doors to Cormac's bulletproof glass to... who knows what else he's got in there now. Right there.

  Miles : The armory.

  Jenkins : That's your Holy Grail.

  Winston Scott : Holy Grail for who?

  Jenkins : Whoever gets to it first.

  Miles : Why does a hotel for hitmen have an armory, anyway?

  Jenkins : Crooks are always worried somebody gonna come after 'em, whether it's cops or some other crook. So the, uh, armory helps them get a good night's sleep.

  Winston Scott : We need an inside man.

  Jenkins : Hmm. In the old days, maybe, but... now there's two kind of folk in there: too evil to be trusted or too brainwashed to betray Cormac. It's not a frickin' club anymore, it's a cult.

• Lemmy : [facing the urn containing Frankie's ashes]  I feel like somebody should... say something.

  Miles : I can say a little...

  Winston Scott : I'm going to kill Cormac, and I need all of you.

  Lemmy : I was thinking more like a prayer or something.

  Miles : Cormac is on a different level now, Winston. You so much as spit on his stoop, every freak in and around that hotel will be after you.

  Winston Scott : My point exactly. Coin press is still missing. They're gonna come after anyone who ever knew Frankie.

  Lou : We had nothing to do with this.

  Winston Scott : He's desperate. We have to strike first.

  Lemmy : Let's just give him what he wants. Let this beef die with Frankie.

  Winston Scott : I don't have it, and I have no idea where Frankie would have hidden it. And they will kill all of us before they realize that.

  Miles : It ain't as simple as taking him out. We still got to deal with the Continental.

  Lou : A takeover... of the whole hotel?

  Winston Scott : Listen, if we kill Cormac, we're not only taking his life. We are taking his goddamn house and everything that comes with it... including his hold on the gun-running game.

  [seeing Miles is intrigued] 

  Winston Scott : That's right. Everything will go through you. No longer will you be a middleman living outside the system, you will *be* the system.

  Lemmy : How are we supposed to believe a guy in an ascot can pull this off?

  Winston Scott : That's simple, because I know Cormac. I know how he operates, how he thinks, how he manipulates people, because as a kid, he did it to me and Frankie. We were his errand boys. We thought he was a god.

  Miles : That's not gonna be enough.

  Winston Scott : Well, I also have a lot of money, problem-solving money, enough to build an army. I was planning on starting a new life with it.
