Danny Ortiz: You need some help, man.
Matt Scudder: Oh, God.
Danny Ortiz: I don't care. You want to mess up your own shit - but you're going to mess up mine, too. I need to know you got my back. Not that you're going to come falling through the door behind me...
Matt Scudder: Don't worry your pretty little spic head off.
Danny Ortiz: Anyway. That was all I wanted to say.
Matt Scudder: Is that it? Fuck you!

Kenny Kristo: You used to be a cop, right?
Matt Scudder: Yeah, I was with the 6th Precinct in the Village for a while. And before that, I was over here with the 75th.
Kenny Kristo: So why'd you quit?
Matt Scudder: I didn't like the hours, Mr. Kristo.
Kenny Kristo: Nah, the corruption got to you, huh?
Matt Scudder: Not really. It would have been hard to support my family without it.
