    • The Detective: Let me straighten up your little corduroy jacket.

    • Teeth: [Teeth unexpectedly shows up on the stairway outside The Driver's apartment] I just want to talk. We need you. You're valuable.

      The Driver: I already gave you an answer.

      Teeth: [pulls a gun] Well, we don't like that answer. Be friendly. Do things our way.

      The Driver: Go ahead and pull the trigger.

      [Teeth hesitates; Driver punches him in the face, he tumbles down one flight of stairs]

      Teeth: You... you do anything else, I'll come back, I'll kill you.

      [Driver wallops him again, sending Teeth down a second flight of stairs]

      Teeth: [groggy, bleeding slightly] I'm just trying to do my job.
