- Quotes
Terry Pugh: [after tearing up phone book upon failing to find his cousin] Must've moved. Probably couldn't have heard him anyway; this goddamn ear's still bleedin'. You ever try that shit again...
Butch Haynes: [sternly] What?
Terry Pugh: [puzzled] ... What?
Butch Haynes: You were in the middle of threatenin' me.
Terry Pugh: [holds up a revolver] Ain't a threat - it's a fact.
Butch Haynes: Here, kid - take the wheel.
[Phillip holds the wheel to steer as Butch turns to face Pugh in the back seat]
Butch Haynes: In two seconds, I'm gonna break your nose. That's a threat.
[Butch punches Pugh in the nose, then picks up the gun as Terry moans]
Butch Haynes: ...And that's a fact.
Terry Pugh: I'm gonna kill you for that.
Butch Haynes: And that's a threat. Begin to understand the difference?
