— You don't know what you're talking about.
— You're wrong. I know exactly what I'm talking about. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around but I got the best woman that was ever on this planet to marry me. I worked at it. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. But you, you know, you're letting Click Clack, Ding Dong, and Charlie Chan just walk out with Miss What's-Her-Face. She likes you, you know? Though I don't know why.
Walt Kowalski: — You could talk about a construction job you just came from and bitch about your girlfriend and your car. <...> Just talk about people who are not in the room. You could bitch about your boss making you work overtime when it's bowling night.

Thao: — Yeah, but I don't have a job, a car or a girlfriend.
Barber Martin: — Jesus. I should've blown his head off when I had the chance.
Walt Kowalski: — Yeah. Maybe so. Now, okay, I want you to turn around and go outside… and come back, and don't talk about having no job… no car, no girlfriend, no future, no dick.
— All right. What are you good at?
— Like what?

— I don't know.
— Well, that's kind of halfway what I expected you to say. You see that tree right there? You just go over there and count the birds.
— You want me to count the birds?
— Yeah, you can count. All you slopes are supposed to be good at math, right?
— Yeah, I can count.
— Good.
— One, two…
