- Arty: You better think this through. I am not some fucking soldier you pull off the street.
- The Confessor: You wanna explain why you were wearing a wire?
- Arty: I don't have to tell you shit.
- Eddie: You're a fuckin' rat, man, a fuckin' rat. You know what happens to rats, huh?
- The Confessor: Answer the question.
- Arty: Fuck you. Something happens to me, there will be retribution. My people will hunt you down and...
- The Confessor: Your people sent us!
- Eddie: How much the feds know about Jimmy Reglesi?
- Arty: Reglesi sent you? He couldn't do better than a stupid mick and a strung-out junkie?
- Eddie: Hey, hey, hey, watch your fucking mouth. Watch it.
- Arty: Look at him, he's jonesing
- Eddie: Hey, I said shut the fuck up.
- Arty: All that crap in your veins make you feel brave, tough guy?
- Eddie: [drawing a gun] I will shoot you in the fucking face, you piece of shit!
- The Confessor: [stopping him] Whoa. We want answers, you understand that? You don't do a fucking thing until I get those answers, you understand me?
- The Confessor: I don't think God has any reason to do with why I'm here, Father.
- Priest: What does it have to do with?
- The Confessor: I told you. I want to understand evil.
- Priest: And by understanding that, you'd understand yourself.
- The Confessor: There's far worse evils in the world than me, Father.
- Priest: Like what?
- The Confessor: I don't think you'd understand.
- Priest: Well, then help me to understand.
- The Confessor: In order to do that, I think you'd have to watch me do what I'm going to do tonight.
- Priest: No, I'll be no part of that.
- The Confessor: We'll see.
- Priest: Why would you kill your partner?
- The Confessor: He was a junkie. I realized if I was gonna do this for a living and I was gonna be any good at it, I couldn't leave any witnesses.
- Priest: And you felt nothing after killing two people?
- The Confessor: That's the whole point. I felt nothing at all. I didn't feel good, I didn't feel bad. I'm not a serial killer, Father. I don't do this because I enjoy it. It's a job. I do what needs to be done.
- Priest: Taking life is not a decision for man.
- The Confessor: Oh, so God's the only one who gets to make that call?
- Priest: Yes.
- The Confessor: Well, he's free to stop me anytime he wants.
- Priest: Well, perhaps that's why you're here.
- Arty: You should tell your friend that maybe he'd better...
- The Confessor: [whacking him with a crowbar] I was hoping you'd be smart enough to just answer my questions, but clearly, you are too fucking stupid.
- Arty: [spitting at him] Fuck you!
- The Confessor: Fuck me? Fuck you!
- [whacking him with the crowbar again]
- The Confessor: Why were you wearing a wire? Why were you wearing a fucking wire?
- Arty: They busted me moving a serious amount of coke.
- The Confessor: Who? WHO?
- Arty: The FBI. It was either this or 20 years. I can't do 20 years. I asked Reglesi a few questions, business stuff. That's when he got suspicious. But... I was playing them. I made sure. I didn't ask him anything incriminating.
- Eddie: Yeah, well, you know what? With you gone, those tapes don't mean jack shit. Without you, you could be talking to anybody.
- Arty: I'm telling you... they got nothing. Come on, fellas... maybe we can come to an understanding.
- The Confessor: [privately to Eddie] He's telling the truth. He's all yours.
- Arty: Pull that trigger, you're a dead man.
- Eddie: Shut the fuck up.
- Arty: You don't take out a made man and live. Fuck you!
- Eddie: Shut it!
- Arty: Fuck you! You're a fucking loser. Do it! Go ahead! Go ahead!
- [seeing Eddie hesitate, the Confessor kills Arty himself]
- Eddie: What the fuck, man? I was just about to fuckin' do it!
- The Confessor: Yeah, like all the others.
- Eddie: The fuck are you supposed to mean by that?
- The Confessor: Nothing.
- Eddie: You better not be saying what I think you're saying. I'm not the kind of guy you wanna fuck with.
- The Confessor: Can we go now?
