  • Glenn Griffin: [when Hilliard threatens him with a gun] You haven't got it in you, Pop.
  • Daniel Hilliard: I've got it in me, all right. *You* put it there.
  • Glenn Griffin: [to Ralphy] You listen to your old man, kid. He knows where it's buttered.
  • Glenn Griffin: I got my guts full of you shiny-shoed wise guys with handkerchiefs in their pockets!
  • Daniel Hilliard: Why here? Why my house?
  • Glenn Griffin: Your break. I like the location, I like a house with a bike outside. I love people with kids. They don't take no chances.
  • Daniel Hilliard: I know exactly how you feel because I've got the same thing in me: I want to kill you. If any harm comes to any one of us, I'll do it. I'll kill you, so help me God. You understand that.
  • Glenn Griffin: Yeah, I got ya. We understand each other all the way. Lady, you didn't know what a tough old bird you married, did ya?
  • Ellie Hilliard: No. No I didn't.
  • Glenn Griffin: Hmm. The whole family's getting' tough. OK, Pop - get movin'.
  • Hal Griffin: What's so funny? I don't see nothin' so funny you should break your neck laughin'.
  • Glenn Griffin: I'll laugh when I feel like it an' you ain't got nothin' to say about it. Right? That right, Hal?
  • Hal Griffin: Yeah. That's right.
  • Glenn Griffin: If you don't drink your milk, Junior, you ain't going to grow up to be a big strong man like daddy.
  • Daniel Hilliard: How much longer, Griffin?
  • Glenn Griffin: Now, Pop, is that any way to talk to your guest?
  • Daniel Hilliard: How much longer?
  • Glenn Griffin: Till I get a certain envelope in the mail! Meanwhile, it goes on like before, see, normal. You and the Spitfire go to work, Junior here gets a break: he misses a day at school. Won't hurt ya, kid. Missed a few myself.
  • Cindy Hilliard: And look at you.
  • Glenn Griffin: Yeah. You're lookin'. Pass ya on the streets an' you'd look right through both of us. Well, you're seein' us now, Sis.
  • Hal Griffin: Hey, Glenn. That's enough for us. Let's blow.
  • Glenn Griffin: Tomorrow.
  • Hal Griffin: Why're ya crowdin' 'em - why go on takin' these chances?
  • Glenn Griffin: I kinda like takin' chances - you don't take chances, you might as well be dead.
  • Glenn Griffin: What's on your mind?
  • Daniel Hilliard: I know what you're planning, Griffin. You're not taking anyone along.
  • Glenn Griffin: Say, that's not a bad Idea. I never thought of that.
  • Daniel Hilliard: You thought of it. All the way.
  • Glenn Griffin: I tell you what, Pop - you give us a fair shake, we'll give you a fair shake. As soon as the dough gets here, we'll take you with us - just you. Nothin' happens, we ain't followed, you get out and walk home.
  • Daniel Hilliard: That's a deal, Griffin.
  • Glenn Griffin: Sure, Pop. A deal's a deal. In the meantime, don't get ulcers.
