Quotes 

• 147 : Hey, where to now, my friend?

  6 : Drive. Just drive.

  147 : Okay. You know, I thought I'd lost you. You know, this job is crazy. The hours I do, man, I never see my wife, never see my kid. I have got to get out of this. You understand?

  6 : Yep.

• 147 : Hey, man, need a cab?

  6 : Why would I need a cab if I'm going into a cafe?
