The Alibi (2006) – Movie Quotes

I've learned not to rely on a single person in this world. I'm relying on a dozen. Mostly cheats, killers and cons. And I happen to trust these people. Or at least trust on their baser instincts. Let's hope they don't disappoint me.

— And what would you say Your best quality?

— Okay, what else? <...> And would you say he is... Married or single?
— Divorced. If there were a woman's life she'd make him a babe little more with him.

— Just one more question.
— What?
— Are you gonna call me?

— You know my chosen profession, right?
— Yes.
