• Max : What are you in for?

  Henry Torne : Bank robbery.

  Max : Nice. Clean, simple. I like it.

  Henry Torne : I didn't do it.

  Max : No, of course not.

• Julie : Aren't you guys worried about getting caught?

  Max : It's kind of a win-win situation for me.

  Julie : Why?

  Max : I like jail.

• Max : So last time, um... I'm sitting there, and um... the Head of the Board comes and says, "OK, Max, what are you going to do for us this time if we let you out?" I get the old twitch working, and I go..."Well, um... I'm going to break into your house and then I'll kill your dog and set the house on fire. Then I'll dance through your garden naked like some mad, crazed werewolf.And I'll bite and I'll mangle and I'll tear the tongue out of everything that's breathing. Then I'll hurl myself into the sky, the ethereal sky, flaming, like God's darkest angel. And I'll explode into a goddamn heavenly fireball. Boom! You guys wanna see this? l can't wait. Boom". What? What?

  Fellow Prisoner : You scared the shit out of me, I tell you.

• Julie : What were you in prison for, Max?

  Max : I was a confidence man.

  Julie : You mean a con man?

  Max : I um... l don't like that word. Er, "confidence" is a little more elegant. "Confidence" comes from the Greek "fides", meaning faith and belief.

  Julie : Greek? I thought it was Latin.

  Max : Well, yes, it is... it is now.

  Julie : So, essentially, you make people feel good and then you rip 'em off?

  Max : Yes. But I was always a little better at the feeling good part than I was with the ripping off part, hence jail

• Henry Torne : [Refers the prison]  Hey, Max, maybe you should think about getting out of here.

  Max : Listen. The only thing I ever missed in 23 years is maybe a hot bath. To tell the truth, I don't think that's worth walking out of here for.

• Max : Are you kidding me? This is your plan? An old cartoon in a pissoir?

  Henry Torne : It's a start.

  Max : No, this is 80 years ago. Wait. I tell you what we do. We do it the old-fashioned way.

  Max : We go in with guns.

  Henry Torne : No guns.

  Max : Why?

  Henry Torne : Someone could get hurt.

  Max : That's very sweet of you, Henry.

• Max : Where is your car?

  Henry Torne : I don't have a car.

  Max : You don't have a car?

  Henry Torne : I sold it.

  Max : Well, what is the matter with you?

  Max : You come to pick me up and you don't have a car. That is not the way you pick up a person!

  Henry Torne : Yes, it is. I'm here. I'm picking you up.

  Max : Look, I really don't know about this. I think I'm making a pretty big mistake.

  Henry Torne : Look, Max, the bus station's just a short walk.

  Max : Bus station?

  Henry Torne : Don't worry, Max.

• Max : This is my home.
