— Have you ever killed anyone?
— Yeah, but they were all bad.
Samir: — Is there anything you would like to tell me before we start?
Harry Tasker: — Yes. I'm going to kill you pretty soon.
Samir: — I see. How exactly?
Harry Tasker: — Well, I thought I'd break your neck, then use you as a human shield, then kill the guard with that knife there on your table and take his gun.
Samir: — And what makes you think you can do all that?
Harry Tasker: — Because I picked the lock on these handcuffs...
Helen Tasker: — Listen, the plumber called. He says he has to dig under the slab or something that's gonna cost $600.
Harry Tasker: — That's okay.
Helen Tasker: — It's not okay. It's extortion.
Harry Tasker: — What did you tell him?
Helen Tasker: — I slept with him and he said he'd knock off $100.
Harry Tasker: — That's good thinking. Bye, honey.
Harry Tasker: — What did you need?
Helen Tasker: — I needed to feel alive. I just wanted to do something outrageous. And it felt really good to be needed. And to be trusted. And to be special. It's just that there's so much I wanted to do with this life and it's like I haven't done any of it. And the sand's running out of the hourglass and I wanted to be able to look back and say «See? I did that! I was reckless and I was wild and I fucking did it!».

Harry Tasker: — Helen… is having an affair.
Albert Gibson: — Welcome to the club, man!
Salim Abu Aziz: — Do you know what this is?
Harry Tasker: — I know what this is. This is an espresso machine. No, no, no… It's a snow cone maker. That's what it is. No? Is it a water heater?

Helen Tasker: — It makes you tell the truth? Is it working?
Harry Tasker: — Ask me a question that I normally would lie to.
Helen Tasker: — Are we gonna die?

Helen Tasker: — I'd say it's working.
