"They shell out three million in cash and then what?" "It raises flags at the bank, with their investment advisers, their employees." "People piece it together that they paid you off." " That is not my concern!" " But it concerns me... because ifword gets out that this family paid a ransom... other guys like you will come out ofthe woodwork." "I just need to make sure that this never happens to this family again." "They're gonna call me any second." "Would you mind taking that gun out of my face?"

"[ Grunti ng ]" " Wow, you're pretty good." " Let go." " I t'll be less painful foryou." " [ Gasps ]" "It'll look like you hanged yourself." "No surprise, really." " No work, no money." " [ Grunts ]" "This would have been easier ifyou'd kept our appointment in Fort Lauderdale." "I had some things arranged." "Oh, well." "[Michael Narrating] There's no wayto anticipate everydanger." "You need a backup plan forwhen things go wrong." "[ Gasping ] Sorry to inconvenience you." "That's why home court advantage is so important."
