Quotes
Martin: Why is it that no one in a walk-up ever lives on the first two floors?
Danny: Vampires.
Martin: Really?
Danny: Yeah, they have all the lower apartments all to themselves.
Martin: No direct sunlight, right?
Danny: Exactly. Plus, they live to be 106 years old, so the apartments never turn over.
Martin: Oh, that’s good to know.
Martin: All right then, is it Mister Blue or Mister Panda?
Panda: It’s Mister Jackson to you.
Danny: As in Michael or Stonewall? See, if I were you I’d pick Michael because singing works a lot better than silence around here.
Panda: Yeah, real funny. You make that up all by yourself?
Danny: Grand larceny, assault with a deadly weapon, four counts of felony drug possession, three counts of distribution. I’m sniffing Lifetime Achievement Award. What do you think?
Martin: Yeah, I’m sure his mamma’s real proud.
Danny: Oh yeah.
Samantha: I ran away when I was her age.
Jack: I’m not surprised. How far did you get?
Samantha: My mom tracked me down at the bus station the next town over.
Jack: Did you catch hell?
Samantha: I remember when I saw her… just having someone look for me, that was enough to keep me from trying it again.
Jack: It’s a good thing.
Samantha: Yeah.
