"I don't know if she was a cop or someone else." "But she told the girls they were bein' ripped off, they were paying' over on everything... and the split was too small." "You get the girls to work."

"Better still, Willie," "I wanna show you a new area you can work while you're lyin' low." "Start up, Willie." "Where we goin'?" "You know the Bronx, don't you, Willie? You, get out! Lie down in the gutter." "Pray I don't run you over." "Now, Bell, climb over like when you was a kid." "Nice and slow." "Now, get down, Bell." "Down!" "That's it, Bell."

"Remember Willie's dream, how Willie's gonna be number one." "And all of you are gonna share in it." "Willie needs you now, baby, like you needed him before, remember?" "Willie needs you." "You're his woman, not like the others." "You know that." "You know how special Willie thinks you are." "You're Willie's woman." "Willie's woman?" "My woman." "Oh, Willie." "Make it right." "Please make it right." "Fantastic." "Go get Willie." "What is this jive time shit?" "I beg your pardon?" "Eve." "Split, dog." "You don't own nothin'." "This is our property." "Uh..."
