Before the Devil Knows You're Dead quotes
-
Dex: You don't look happy. Mind if I call you "Groucho"?
Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: No, I don't mind.

Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: We don't want Tiffany's. We want a Mom and Pop operation, in a busy place, on a Saturday when the week's takes go in the safe. We both worked there. We know the safe combinations. We know the burglar alarm signals. We know where everything is. I figure, between the week's take, the jewelry and the cases, the vault, there's a $500,000 haul. I figure probably six. The old dumb old lady that works there, she's alone till noon. She's not going to be a problem.
Henry 'Hank' Hanson: Andy...
Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: Yeah?
Henry 'Hank' Hanson: That's mom and dad's store.
Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: That's what I said. A Mom and Pop operation.
