Clyde Shelton: [Surprised to see Nick in his cell] I wasn't expecting company. Yeah, I would have -- I would have cleaned up a little.

Nick Rice: Never seen anybody tunnel into prison before. And the solitary confinement? That was clever.

Clyde Shelton: Well, that's how winners play. We "convince" the other guy that he's making all the right moves. So, did you ever catch my accomplice?

Nick Rice: Yeah, I did. It's the end of the road for you now. You played us, Clyde. You played us real good.

Clyde Shelton: Thank you. You know, I'm glad you finally get to appreciate some of the effort that I put into all of this.

Nick Rice: Well, you set out to make a point, Clyde. You made it.

Clyde Shelton: No, people still don't get it. They don't appreciate what I'm trying to say, Nick, but they will soon enough.

Nick Rice: A man I cared about once told me that we can't retract the decisions that we've made, we can only affect the decisions we're going to make from here.

Clyde Shelton: Are you trying to save me now, Nick?

Nick Rice: I'm giving you a way out. Big difference. Stand up for those principles you've been preaching. See, we're all held accountable, Clyde. That includes you. Why don't we do the right thing here?

Clyde Shelton: I'm doing the right thing, Nick. You just have to see it that way.

Nick Rice: By murdering all those people, all you're doing is destroying the memory of your daughter and causing the same pain that you're suffering from.

Clyde Shelton: So what do you suggest, Nick? Make another deal? One final offer? Is that what it is?

Nick Rice: I don't make deals with murderers anymore, Clyde. You taught me that.

Clyde Shelton: [scoffs] Finally. Well done. Bravo. Maybe I wasn't such a bad teacher after all.

Nick Rice: If you go through with this, Clyde, it's a decision you'll have to live with for the rest of your life.

Nick Rice: [Tasting his daughter's French toast] It's very good, you cook better than your mother.

Kelly Rice: [Upon entering the kitchen from another room] I heard that! Are you going to our daughter's recital this afternoon?

Nick Rice: I thought you were going to order the DVD.

Kelly Rice: That's not the same.

Denise Rice: [to Kelly] It's okay, I know Dad's got to work.

Nick Rice: That's right! Dad's got to work. And what does Dad do during the day?

Denise Rice: Lock up bad guys!

Nick Rice: And why does he do that?

Denise Rice: To keep us safe.
