Traffic Quotes

General Ralph Landry: [20:13] You know, when Khruschev was forced out, he sat down and wrote two letters and gave them to his successor. He said - "When you get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, open the first letter, and you'll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can't get out of, open the second letter". Well, soon enough, this guy found

himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - "Blame everything on me". So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn't get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - "Sit down, and write two letters".
Robert Wakefield: [laughs] Yep.

Robert Wakefield: [1:58:53] I can't believe you brought my daughter to this place.
Seth Abrahams: Woah. Why don't you just back the fuck up, man. "To this place"? What is that shit? Ok, right now, all over this great nation of ours, 'hundred thousand white people from the suburbs are cruisin' around downtown asking every black person they see "You got any

drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?" *Think* about the effect that that has on the psyche of a black person, on their possibilities. I... God I guarantee you bring a hundred thousand black people into your neighborhood, into fuckin' Indian Hills, and they're asking every white person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?", within a *day* everyone would be

selling. Your friends. Their kids. Here's why: it's an unbeatable market force man. It's a three-hundred percent markup value. You can go out on the street and make five-hundred dollars in two hours, come back and do whatever you want to do with the rest of your day and, I'm sorry, you're telling me that... you're telling me that white people would still be going to law school?

Montel Gordon: [1:21:45] You ever try the patch, man?
Ray Castro: The what?
Ray Castro: Oh man, that shit doesn't work, bro.
Montel Gordon: It worked for my cousin.
Ray Castro: No shit?

though.
Ray Castro: So how is he now?

Ray Castro: He's dead?
Montel Gordon: It wasn't because of the patch, man.
Ray Castro: So what did he die from?
Montel Gordon: His wife shot him.

Eduardo Ruiz: You guys remind me of Japanese soldiers on deserted islands who still think world war two is still going on. The fact is that your government surrendered this war a long fucking time ago.
Montel Gordon: You know, I don't think this attitude is gonna help him in front of the judge. Eduardo, there is just one thing wrong with this math. You're

in here.

Robert Wakefield: Look, we need to take down either of these cartels: either Juarez or Tijuana. Not because they're a symbol but... hell, they are a symbol! But because we need to send a message! When Carlos Ayala hires Michael Addler as his legal defense, I send Ben Williams down to San Diego as a prosecutor, why? Because it's a symbol. It's a symbol that we are sending the best!

It's a message that we're going after their top guys.

Ray Castro: [about Helena and Arnie]
[41:12]
Ray Castro: They're whispering. They're whispering.
Montel Gordon: I know.
Ray Castro: I can't hear it.
Montel Gordon: The fucking bug's too far away from the room. It's halfway to the kitchen. We're not going to get shit.

Ray Castro: They're saying something. They sound like they're conspiring to conspire. I can feel the lies vibrating from their home.
Montel Gordon: I don't think she's in on it, man.

Caroline Wakefield: On the good days, I feel like I get it, like it all makes sense. I can stay in the moment, I don't have to control everything in the future, and I believe everything is gonna work out fine. On the bad days I just want to grab the phone and start dialing numbers. I want to pull my hair and run through the streets screaming. But thanks to the people I've met in

these rooms, like Margaret and Jim and Sarah, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make it through today.
