"We worked hard, we played hard, didn't have a care in the world." "It was perfect." "I can't get over the size ofthat ring." "I just love it." "Fred, tell me you don't love that ring." "I'm happy George found somebody he cares for." "Yes, of course." "But I'm talking about the ring." "It's something else." "George has exquisite taste." "What is it?" "It's got to be at least two carats." "It's definitely two carats." "Treasure it." "You might want to get that insured."

"Yes, layaway." "Something you wouldn't know anything about." "You, you big old tightwad." "He still has his Communion money." "Don't listen to her."

"We're going to wind up like us." "I love you." "Get in the car." "Hurry before they come out." "George Jung, you stand accused ofpossession... of660pounds ofmarijuana with intent to distribute." "How do you plead?" "Your Honor, I'd like to say a few words." "You'll have to stand up to address this court." "All right." "Fine." "Well... in all honesty..." "I don't feel that what I've done is a crime." "It's illogical and irresponsible for you to sentence me to prison." "Because what did I really do?" "I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants." ""You say I'm an outlaw, you say I'm a thief" "But where's the Christmas dinner for the people on relief?"" ""You say you're looking for someone who's never weak but always strong" "To gather flowers constantly whether you were right or wrong" "But it ain't me, babe" "No, it ain't me, babe, it ain't me you're looking for, babe."" "You follow?" "Gosh, you know. your concepts are really interesting, Mr. Jung." "Thank you." "Unfortunately, the line you crossed was real... and the plants you brought were illegal... so your bail is $ 20,000." "Next case, Your Honor." "Hey, babe." "What are you doing here?" "Surprise." "You didn't have to come out here." "And miss all the fun?" "Not a chance." "So, what's the verdict?" "The lawyer says he can... plead it down to 5 years." "I'll serve two." "Two years." "Two years." "George, I can't wait that long." "Are you kidding me?" "You won't wait for me?" "The fuck is that?" "I don't have two years." "What?" "No." "Losing Barbara to cancer change everything." "The old gang broke up." "Tuna stayed in Mexico." "God only knows what happened to him." "Point is, we all lost touch." "I'dskipped bail in Chicago to take care ofBarbara... and was now a fugitive on the run." "It'd been almost a yearsince I'dseen myparents." "And believe it ornot I actuallymissed them." "Hi, Ma." "Surprised to see me?" "Take offyour boots." "You're tan." "Mexico." "Yeah, I hear about it." "I want you to know I'm..." "I'm deeply sorry about your girlfriend." "Yeah, Barbara." "Nice girl." "Thank you." "Have you been getting the money I sent you?" "What, you mean the drug money?" "Yeah, I got it." "Oh, God." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "It's okay, Mom." "It's okay, Mom." "I thought I heard something." "How are you?" "How are you?" "Good." "Son, come on in." "How are you?" "Come on." "You look good." "May the wind always be atyourback... and the sun upon your face." "And may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars." "Cheers, Georgie." "Cheers, Pop." "Are you all right?" "Just low." "You know?" "You really loved her." "Yeah, Dad." "I really did." "Are you mad at me?" "No." "Yeah, you are." "No." "I can tell by the way you look." "I'm not mad, George." "I just don't understand what you're doing." "I don't understand your choices." "The goddamn cops are looking for you." "I know." "I'm great at what I do, Dad." "I mean, I'm really great at what I do." "Let me tell you something, George." "You'd have been great at anything." "Anything." "Fuck!" "Damn." "Fuck them, fuck them, fuck!" "I had no choice." "Don't look at me like that." "Let's go." "What was I supposed to do?" "Jesus Christ." "He's in our house!" "Shut up." "Was I supposed to be an accomplice?" "You don't think people know you're a drug dealer?" "Everyone knows you're a drug dealer!" "It's no secret." "How do you think that reflects on me?" "Every time I go out, I'm humiliated." "So you go to jail." "It's for your own good!" "You need to straighten your life out!" "What are you looking at, Mrs. Gracie?" "Your son's no prize." "All right, stop." "Open up cell number 3!" "Prisoner's in." "Close cell number 3." "Hello." "My name's Diego Delgado." "How do you do?" "Hey, George." "What?" "Ifyou don't mind me asking why are you in this place?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Oh, come on, George." "Ifwe are to be friends, we must trust each other." "I don't like a lot of conversation." "Me, too." "Too much Blah-blah-blah." "You know." "But we are roommates." "And we must talk to each other." "I'm arrested for stealing cars." "For the grand-theft auto." "Murder." "Murder." "What do you got down there, Diego?" "Nothing." "Just a little project." "What kind of little project." "Never mind." "Not for you to worry." "Come on." "Thought you said we're supposed to tell each other everything." "You have your intrigues, I have mine." "Today is a happy day for me, George." "In 9 months from today, I'll be in Medellin, sipping champagne." "In 9 months, I'm free." "I'm happy for you." "How much time do you have?" "Oh, let's see." "26 months." "26 months?" "For murder?" "I must meet your lawyer." "I got to get out of here, Diego." "Only 2 ways I know to leave here early." "One..." "is to escape." "Okay, what's the other?" "I guess me ought to open our books." "Man, fuck you." "We ain't opening shit." "You just the warden's little bitch." "Doing that shit to get some time cut off." "Why not?" "I want to get out ofthis shithole as quickly as possible." "But for me to walk early, some of you got to graduate." "You should forget it." "You're hopeless." "Fuck you." "See you in the shower." "The rest ofya might get diplomas and jobs when ya get back on the outside." "Shit, I'm in this bitch for life." "Motherfucker, I'm a criminal." "Ain't nobody giving me no job." "Let's learn some criminal shit too." "Tell you what." "I'll make you a deal." "Halfthe time I teach you about George Washington... the other half, I'll teach you how to smuggle drugs." "You don't know dick about smuggling no drugs." "Oh, no?" "I was arrested in Chicago with 660 pounds of grass." "I think that qualifies me." "How'd you get 660 pounds ofweed?" "Flew in from Mexico on a single-engine Cessna." "So we got a deal or what?" "What?" "I listened to what you say to the class today about the smuggling." "Never believed you were a murderer." "I knew you were a "magico"." "I'm tired, Diego." "Go to bed." "Do you know, in my country, I'm a "magico"?" "A man with a dream." "A man on the rise." "To take nothing and make it something." "Do you have a dream, George?" "I would if I could get some fucking sleep." "You have a dream." "And maybe you will accomplish it." "But yet you failed." "Why?" "Because I got caught." "No." "You failed... because you had the wrong dream." "What do you know about cocaine?" "First of all, what type of planes do you have?" "They're 4-passenger, single-engine Cessnas." "4 passengers." "So that means how..." "How many kilos can we fit in these planes?" "I don't know." "Probably..." "Danbury wasn't a prison." "It was a crime school." "I went in with a bachelor of marijuana... came out with a doctorate of cocaine." "And aftersixteen months..." "I was, once again, a free man." "Well, not altogether free." "The conditions ofmyparole." "To live at myparents' house and find ajob." "Diego Delgado, please." "Boston George." "Todayis the day." "Are you out?" "Yeah, I'm out." "Congratulations." "I've been waiting." "How we doing?" "Fine." "Everything's perfect here." "It's allset up." "Do we need a plane?" "How does this work?" "Slow down." "You need to come down here." "Everybodymeets everybody." "We do one forgood faith, then we talk about airplanes, okay?" "I can't go anyway, Diego." "It's nice and cold." "All right, Pop." "One minute." "I'm on parole." "I can't leave the state." "George, you'll be back before theyknowyou're gone." "I just got released 5 minutes ago." "Are we going to do this ornot?" "My friend." "How are you?" "Fine." "Good to see you." "Okay, 15 kilos it is then, okay?" "We receive 100 thousand dollars upon delivery." "Not so fast." "I would like to go over the details." "What details?" "I put the coke in the false bottoms, and take it through customs." "That's it." "Tell me about the suitcases." "Will there be clothes in the suitcase?" "What?" "Clothes." "In the suitcase." "Well, yeah." "Let's try it." "Why not?" "Whose clothes?" "Your clothes?" "What the fuck is going on here?" "You pulled me down here to talk about clothes?" "I demand to know everything." "I don't trust 600,000 dollars of coca to someone I don't know." "15 fucking kilos." "I piss 15 kilos." "Gentlemen, please." "There's no need to be impolite, okay?" "George, Cesar is just being thorough." "And that's all, okay?" "Okay, very well." "But remember, Mr. Jung, I will be with you the whole way... and I will be watching." "When you're carrying drugs across the border... the idea is to remain calm." "The wayl do it is to think ofsomething pleasant." "A fun party, a moment oftriumph, sexual encounter." "I actuallyproject myself to thatplace." "A little transcendental meditation, ifyou will." "The trick is to imagine every little detail." "Anythin' to keep yourmind offthe factyou're goin' tojail fora long time... ifthey find the 15 kilos ofblow in yoursuitcases." "Passport, please." "Nice flight?" "It was pretty good." "Thanks." "On vacations?" "Yes." "On vacation for only one day." "My brother's wedding." "It was a nice ceremony and everything." "It was good." "Open your bag, please." "Sure." "Whose clothes are these?" "Mine." "And these?" "Old habits, you know." "Hard to break." "Close it up." "The trialperiod was over." "It was time to start moving some serious weight." "Commercial flights couldn't cut it any." "What we needed was a pilot." "I'll fly down on a Friday, refuel in the Bahamas and then on to Medellin." "Please continue." "We make the pickup, refuel once more in the Bahamas... and then fly back on Sunday with the mom-and-pop traffic." "Why are you speaking?" "What?" "You." "Your responsibility is over." "You're not a pilot, not a distributor." "You simply introduced us to Mr. Stevens." "That is all." "You make a generous percentage." "You're lucky to get that." "I see." "How much?" ""Padrino" will pay ten thousand per kilo for everyone." "You, you and you." "3 million." "That is all." "There is no negotiation." "I want two." "Come on, a million each had such a nice ring to it." "No way." "I'm doing all the work, I'm taking all the risk and it's my plane." "You guys don't do shit." "You just collect your money." "Are you good with this?" "Do you have pictures ofyour kids?" "What?" "I need to see them." "I'll need their names and their schools." "With millions of dollars of coca on the line, no children, no deal." "Fine." "Don't forget the pictures." "George, come here!" "I need to talk to you!" "George!" "Yeah, yeah." "What?" "Come here." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "I mean, aside from the fact that we're moving 300 fucking kilos... and we're making dog shit, nothing." "A million dollars for our first run is not bad." "It's fucking chump change." "May as well hauling suitcases across the border." "You know, George, this is a very small part of business." "Very small." "Which reminds me, I need a favor from you." "The favor was to pick up 50 kilos ofcocaine." "Fifty." "That's a hundred and ten pounds." "Not exactlya small favor." "Not like bumming a cigarette, forexample." "But what the hell?" "I had nothin' better to do." "It's not like I was on parole oranythin'." "How you doing?" "I'm George, friend of Diego's." "Where's Diego?" "I don't know." "He sent me." "I'm George." "Well, that explains everything." "Open your mouth, George." "Get fucked." "Open your fucking mouth." "Now, you listen to me." "You hearing me, huh?" "I've been holding fifty keys for Diego for three weeks." "Tell him I don't appreciate it." "You tell him I want my money by Friday." "Can you do that?" "I think so." "I think so." "Hello." "Maylspeak to George, please?" "George, you have a phone call." "Thank you." "Hello?" "This George?" "Hey, how are you?" "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Where are you?" "Bad news, George." "I'm in Colombia." "Boy..." "I sure would like to see you." "And so would some ofyour old friends." "George, it's a little bit hard to get away right now." "I'm afraid you're on your own." "I'm in jail." "What?" "What I'm doing here is measuring the purity." "Pure coke, it melts away at about... a hundred and eighty-five, hundred and ninety degrees." "Cutting agents, they melt away at about a hundred." "And quality product, well, that's... melting at around a hundred and forty." "Hundred and thirty." "Good." "A hundred and forty." "Yes." "A hundred and fifty." "Fuck me running!" "A hundred and sixty?" "Jesus Christ, a hundred and seventy!" "Hundred and eighty." "A hundred and...." "A hundred and eighty-seven." "Where did you get this stuff?" "Colombia." "Well, do you mind if I do a line?" "Yeah, go ahead." "Fuck it." "Let's all do one." "What did I tell you?" "It's great, but what am I supposed to do with all this?" "Sell it." "I don't see you in two years... and you show up with a hundred and ten pounds of blow?" "Just fucking sell it, Derek." "All right, but it's going to take me a year." "I can't feel my face." "I mean, I can touch it, but I can't feel it inside." "Thirty-six hours." "Thirty-six hours." "I don't believe we got rid of it in 36 hours." "You underestimated the market, Derek." "Right on." "It'll take longer to count it than it did to sell it." "Greetings, Mr. George." "Here you go." "One-point-three-five million." "Any place you'd like to count?" "On the plane." "What fucking plane?" "Thanks." "What the fuck is going on?" "Good to see you." "I thought you were in jail." "Pablo used his influence." "Watch what you say, okay?" "Everybody hears everything." "Well, let's just say this isn't America." "Life is cheap here." "No offense, but you know what I'm saying." "All right, I'll keep my mouth shut." "Who's this person in California, the connection?" "It's a friend." "Who?" "A fucking friend." "I'm not telling you." "Who?" "A friend!" "I ain't telling you no more." "Okay, we'll talk about it later." "Look, that's Pablo." "Oh, shit." "Oh, shit." ""EI Padrino" was Señor Pablo Escobar." "And for those ofyou living on the moon for the last twentyyears... he was it." "The boss ofit all. "EI mágico"." "He will see you now." "Okay, let's go." "Not you." "What?" "Never mind." "You go."
