Jackie Brown Quotes

Ray Nicolet: Jackie, I hope you don't mind if I call you Jackie. Those guys down in Customs? They're a bunch of fuckin' pricks. Excuse me, but they are. There's something about that job makes those people really hard to get along with. Now, you can go down and talk with those guys, who are really suspicious and just really disagreeable human beings or you can talk with a couple of

good-hearted guys like Mark and myself. Its up to you.

Mark Dargus: If you refuse to cooperate and you continue to cop a shit attitude like you're doing now, we will give you to Customs and they will take you to court and with your prior, the judge will give you two years. Now, you'll probably only end up serving a year and some change; but, if I was a 44-year-old black woman, desperately clinging on to this one shitty, little job

that I was fortunate enough to get, I don't think that I'd think I had a year to throw away.

Max Cherry: You never got into the whole CD revolution?

Ordell Robbie: Hey, girl.
Melanie: Hola!. Hey! Hey-hey-hey! Looks like somebody got some new clothes.

Louis: I don't know. I didn't look like a bum.
Ordell Robbie: Come on

now, man. You know you had that Salvation Army thing going.

Ordell Robbie: I suppose you see a piece of this for yourself?
Jackie Brown: Its my plan. We're in this together.
Ordell Robbie: Yeah, but its my money and I don't need no fuckin' partners.
Jackie Brown: I ain't your partner. I'm your manager. And I'm managing to get your money out of Mexico, into America, in

your hands, and I'm managing to do it all under the nose of the cops. So, therefore, I'm your manager, and a manager gets 15%.
Ordell Robbie: No, a manager gets 10%.
Jackie Brown: No, thats an agent. A manager gets...
Ordell Robbie: I'm gonna give you 10.
Jackie Brown: No. No. A manager gets 15%, agent

gets 10. I'm getting 15%, all right?
Ordell Robbie: All I'm gonna give you is 10.
Jackie Brown: And the same deal as before.
Ordell Robbie: I can do that.

Louis: Can I ask you a question?
Ordell Robbie: Oh, man, I mean, you ain't gonna get serious while we're in here chillin', is you?
Louis: No. Its just about Melanie
Ordell Robbie: Oh, you know what? I'm real sorry about that, man, but I had to be somewhere all of a sudden. I figured, well, shit, Louis ain't

had no pussy for a while; so, I thought, let him kick it here with Mel.
