• Mike Figlia : Let's say you just rolled into town with a truckload of apples, you know. Now what do you think would have been a fair price?

  Nick Garcos : Six and a half bucks a box.

  Mike Figlia : Now six and a half is what I got. I'm talking about your end.

  Nick Garcos : Your end of nothing is nothing.

• Charles : Is the vehicle parked in front of our joint?

  Dave : Yeah.

  Charles : Has it been parked there a long time?

  Dave : Yeah.

  Charles : Is it obstructing our place of business?

  Dave : Yeah!

  Charles : Well?

  Dave : We unload!

  Mike Figlia : Come on, we'll sell the stuff on consignment, I'll give the kid a fair shake. If that's against the law, I guess I'm a crook.
